install adaway on your phone. it runs better with root but still works fine without. there’s no reason to see ads on a phone you own.

with that gpu, x11 might work better than wayland. i’ll probably get downvoted for this but keeping macos isn’t a bad choice, there’s a firefox fork that tracks latest while retaining older macos support.

the window size protection you mention is a firefox feature called RFP and can be enabled on vanilla firefox as well.

it’s a difference approach, OP maximizes the data being harvested to make it harder to tell what the real usage data is, turning off javascript minimizes the data being collected but potentially makes you unique and stand out among other vanilla users

something made with “ai” that’s shitty enough to make me notice and cringe

they attempted twice and fucked up both lol

btw there’s something similar that still works on modern *nix https://fsv.sourceforge.net/

i have many older (~2014) androids with replacable batteries and none of them can do it. however you can directly attach power to the battery connector to boot the device without a battery

haven’t watched the video yet, but the medium article sounds very much like llm slop

the website appears to be an ai slop farm

i use discord because of my friends. reddit occasionally but very rarely these days. hackernews a lot but it’s not really ‘mainstream platform’…

aside from that there’s few forums in my local language that’s still kinda thriving.

to me cloning from codeberg is much slower than github and sometimes even fails. i understand it’s not possible to have m$ scale server geo balancing and stuff from a nonprofit but yeah. i do try to use it more these days tho.

im using disroot mail as my primary mail since 2021, it’s quite reliable and the community seem friendly

soylentnews is kinda active

ive seen someone mention fark.com recently

i’m sad there’s really few left…

btw for lemmy theres the mlmym interface that looks just like old reddit, for my instance its on https://old.lemmy.today/

thanks a lot for sharing, i haven’t known much electronic music before so it’s quite eye opening. :)

some laptops use the keyboard as an airvent tho

…soo it’s vibeshit… but the idea seems funny (and this isn’t really meant to be a real replacement for ublock so seems fine for me)

lineageos is the direct continuation of cyanogenmod since 2016. just grab any android phone that supports lineageos and you’re good. microg provides you google services, but it’s still dependant on google’s servers. i use mine without google services at all, aside from not having push notifications it’s very usable.

i’ve legit seen many people who have no idea what a web browser is, internet == chrome/safari/edge (which opens automatically when clicking a link on some app) for them. this isn’t just older people, actually it’s usually worse with younger people.
