My only gripe with this page is that it’s in the browser and it keeps recognising a back gesture (swipe from the edge of the screen) whenever a word starts with q or p.

Shockingly, those are also getting rarer.

Worked fine for me. Might just have been the first rush.

You can’t possibly have misunderstood the issue so fundamentally, can you?

I bet Nazis also drink water and breathe.

No. You need to request your Netflix video, you need to ACK the segments of it you receive and a lot more.
At the very least you’ll need to maintain a detailed whitelist of allowed domains and especially for the manufacturer some packets might he OK, like checking for updates, while others you’ll wanna block.

It’s likely a lot easier to just get a dumb screen and have the smart in a device you control.

Am I too harsh […]?

No. If there’s no way to verify anything then all we have to go on is their word.
The word of a company generally isn’t worth a whole lot. Same with Telegram.

I am using a Samsung phone

Well, don’t. I know that’s not immediately helpful, but Samsung is well known for shipping tons of useless bloatware in their Android ROM and not giving a shit about user privacy.
I think it was their CEO who suggested simply not having sensitive conversations within earshot of their Smart-TVs, when it became known that they’re always listening.

Throwing Fairphone into the pot. They’re well supported by LineageOS and have the additional advantage of being user-repairable.
But they only ship inside Europe.

Really simple. Just ask it to point out the error. Also maybe tell it how the code is wrong. And then hope that the new code didn’t introduce new errors in formerly working sections. And that it understood what you meant. In a language that is inherently vague.

Almost like ecosystems make sense 🤔

Don’t forget every other food blog 😑

I’m a little miffed that 2FA support is a paid feature.
I’m using KeePassXC and have no intention of switching, plus I’m paying for an account anyway, I just feel that 2FA is such an essential feature for a password manager that it shouldn’t be locked behind a paywall.

That’s only useful in commit messages, issue discussions and stuff like that. Why would the devs even make that execute in source files, where it’s all but guaranteed to be a false match??

Yea it took some time until my FP4 was supported by lineage, back when it was new. But if the price is an issue I doubt OP would get the latest model, anyway.

While the ad blocker integrated into Iodé is nice, their freemium model turns me away. Putting some ad blocking capabilities behind a subscription feels shady. Also they’re rather slow with updates. I’ve used it for a while and watched the ad blocker going from blocking virtually everything to blocking 66-75%.

Kickstarter has a massive spam problem in my experience and best I can tell it’s not talked about.
I backed a single project, immediately deactivated any and all communication from KS, except for that project, but I keep getting mails from different domains, advertising various stupid crowdfunding projects.
I have 16 blocked mails in the last week alone.

Motorola’s Moto G series is usually supported and relatively cheap.
However, if you’re willing to spend a little bit more I recommend getting a Fairphone, if you can. Simply because they guarantee 10 years of device support after release and you can easily get original replacement parts.
So you won’t have to get a new phone just because the battery died.

Yea, people mostly equate email to an electronic letter, but it’s more like an electronic postcard. Anyone handling it can simply read it.
So you’ll want encryption, too. So either you get everyone to use PGP/GPG or get them to use a privacy-by-default provider.
Good luck with the first option and I’m not sure how interoperable the various providers are, so in the worst case you’d have to rally everyone to the same provider.
