I’m trialling it already as my main browser. I like it.

Microsoft could have been ahead on this with Cortana if they had any real commitment and vision.

For me, it’s mostly that the Android app doesn’t have a tab bar, even on tablet (just a stretched out phone ui), and i want a browser i can sync across all my devices, so that issue with the tablet ui is enough for me to use a different browser (the amazing Vivaldi) everywhere.

What does sucking dick have to do with technical competency?

Great article, totally agree with the author. I would still be concerned with that power moving to the government, particularly in countries with limited options for true representation (eg. two party systems, where it is usually more a matter of “lesser evil” voting), but that then becomes the next challenge; still more appropriate in the government’s hands than the level of power corporations currently wield.

The thing is, as we learned with Netflix (and… everything lately), even if it starts off convenient and reasonable, that will last only long enough that they think they’ve cornered the market. So unless something changes to guarantee an ongoing reasonable proposition, i will never trust them again.

How is Australia or Assange related to it?

I used the Jelly for a while, mostly it worked very well, only a couple apps had layout issues. I think it was just slightly too small at 3", and 3.5 - 4" would resolve basically every app layout issue I had with it. My biggest problem with it was actually that the camera was awful.

No, I want the smaller bezels to enable a smaller physical device that keeps a ~4" screen. Ideally not exceeding the dimensions of the OG iPhone.

It’s the smallest option, so doesn’t really matter.

I just want the return of the Mini. Upgrade the display to 4".

Grindr reports down to single digit metres… That level of accuracy is certainly not needed and potentially dangerous. I’ve had stalker issues with Grindr before… Imo the radar aspect can be preserved while simply capping the accuracy or reporting at “<500m”, because seriously that’s close enough to know someone is literally less than 5 minute walk from you.

Sniffies is a similar app, but includes an option to randomise your location within a certain radius that you can set. So you can still determine people are “nearby” or get an idea of their general distance and location, without being able to literally hunt them down.

I feel like some people just hear “crypto” or “ai” and start screeching and clawing at the air.

Not every feature needs to be for you specifically, these features are optional and don’t compromise or even impact their other products. They seem to be on-brand in being more privacy-focused alternatives to some of the existing market options while remaining accessible, and keeps Proton in the game depending on how the landscape develops.

I don’t use Proton (yet) but I generally like what they’re doing and hope they succeed, and I don’t see any of these developments as negatives, just more competition.

This reminded me of the Jar Jar Binks is a Sith lord theory

With such good indies, i don’t really need AAA. I prefer smaller, shorter, focused experiences anyway. AAA feels like a bloated predatory mess.

“once you’re paired up, you’re going to delete your account” woah woah woah, I never said that.

YouTube recommended this video, and based on the thumbnail alone it looked like sensationalist garbage. I didn’t watch it. I think it’s because i watched a single video about “de-googling” and now the algorithm dives straight into the rage-bait deep-end of that topic.

Then it will go out of fashion again, and teeth will be the new tribal tattoo that people are stuck with, and the following generation will be all about smooth gums.

Imagine junkies of this drug would look like tarkatans.

Governments told kids they shouldn’t use it. So it naturally became more popular.
