I wish I hadn’t sold mine, jailbreaking seems fun.

I remember being younger and seeing these crazy “jailbroken ps4” videos, specially gta V vids, fun stuff.

Anyway, thanks!

A list of sources will be on the wiki, but since that will take some time, I’ll try to make a shorter post about this topic soon!

I suppose adding a way or two of installing games to run under proton will also be useful!

It is an autoconfig file

But there is a fork of firefox with that implemented by default called “Librewolf”, I don’t know if thats made by the same people or not

To add to this, all kinds of fitness trackers are still trackers, and they will sell your data.

I don’t have much knowledge of privacy-respecting alternatives, but this post on the GrapheneOS forum covers that for those interested.

Eventually, I’m sure we’ll cover hardware privacy more extensively in this community, as it deserves its own guide.

I can’t wait for ladybird, firefox is going downhill because of the Mozilla Foundation

I agree needing a phone number is a dealbreaker, the reasoning I’ve seen is:

  • It’s a core dependency on Signal, and replacing it would require a major overhaul.
  • Serves as an Anti-spam feature
  • Helps with contact discovery among common users

My opinion?

  • 1st statement makes sense but maybe it’s somewhat incorrect.
  • 2nd statement is true, Signal has had an increasingly amount of spam since they added “username accounts” linked to number, I can tell myself.
  • 3rd is true, I discovered two guys I knew used it and it was nice. When SMS on signal was still around, I suppose having a phone number also made more sense.

In general, signal has proved they store no data besides the phone number itself, and in court they have only been able to give phone numbers.

Now it’s up to privacy oriented users like many here to think about ways of getting a burner phone number for his without their name on it.

But I still agree with your point, they could work on better or more private ways of using Signal.

My comments from someone who doesn’t know much about programming yet:

  • Make the “get in touch” button functional
  • The “Language” category could be named “Experience working with:” Or something more professional
  • Search for better logos for the programming languages you know, and make them smaller
  • Many elements have contrast issues, black text on very dark blue backgrounds, etc. That’s very very important
  • Cursor doesn’t change on top of links

Idea:

  • The landing page could contain some pictures of your best websites or more visually pleasing projects. And if this is a personal website “watchlist” and such are okay, but if it’s meant to be a portfolio for companies… Keep it professional

Overall, it was still okay, but needs some polishing

I’m staying on this side, but probably switching to a fork like Librewolf

I’ve previously used Floorp which is feature rich but not polished, and same goes for Zen

We do have to be strict about this, as this rule comes from the instance and we must comply with that.

Still, avoiding traditional social media in general is a thing I support, so for me this rule is great. And I believe it also aligns with the view of a community who cares about privacy, as X/Twitter does like users data a lot.
