I was born. When I was 11 I got my first computer. Then I started writing toots. That’s still what I am doing. The end.

I boost things I find interesting 🚀

Toot topics:
#straightedge | #linux | #opensource | #FOSS | #degoogle | #grapheneos | #android | #apple | #tech | #ethicalhacking | #cybersecurity | #sysadmin | #life

When the IT technician says Microsoft edge is exactly google chrome you’re in bad trouble. It’s built on the same engine using the chromium project but it is NOT EXACTLY google chrome 🤦‍♂️🤣

I thought the battery of my ancient #Android phone had finally given out. Battery went from fully charged to empty in a heartbeat.

However #Proton app was somehow stuck trying to fetch notifications, so I killed it, thinking this was a battery drain. It likely was.

Along the way I found a real useful feature: Data Saver 😃

After I turned this on my battery lasts for days now, and I don't get superfluous notifications anymore either.

@smallcircles what proton app was it? As I run grapheneOS background tasks and notifications don't work for some of them

One of the reasons why I won't use brave is because of it based on chromium not to mention its crypto baloney

    @unnameduser I've never had an issue. Use popsicle flatpak if not on popOS and download an ISO you should be able to check it via the USB tool (popsicle)

    What’s the difference between a guitarist and a government savings bond?

    Eventually, a savings bond will mature and make money.

    @dgar ouch for any guitarists out there :mastorofl:

    Obsidian local and manual sync with your own cloud service choice or self hosted

    Or

    Joplin with Joplin cloud?

    What’s everyone’s takes on this, what would you chose and why? Do you use either? I want to hear from you…

    justincroser,
    @justincroser@fosstodon.org avatar

    @popey i’ve used both. I’m currently using Joplin but I don’t mind paying for open store software and I tried to use open source with everything however I really need to spend the money for syncing between devices? I could just do that manually to my cloud storage provider myself

    justincroser,
    @justincroser@fosstodon.org avatar

    @popey nope just entirely open source and E2EE a paid service

    @justincroser@fosstodon.org avatar

    So I’ve recently moving things away from big tech and certain non open source things. I just can’t replace Todoist and Spotify at the moment. So far I’ve moved…

    Proton – Calendar
    Proton – Mail
    Proton – VPN
    Bitwarden – Pass
    Proton – Drive (cloud storage)
    Joplin – Notes
    Firefox – Web Browser
    Signal – Messaging and Calls
    AntennaPod – PodcastApp

    Your thoughts on this?

    In private search we only have Brave and Duck Duck Go the later have been caught selling data but this seems shady especially number 2 and number 3 😬

    Starting to question brave and some of their motives.

    1. Support private, independent search
    2. See search results ad-free
    3. Get a cleaner view on all results pages

    #askfedi I want to run my own website essentially just a place I can write things. Something that looks like fosstodon.org is fine basic and to the point. How should I go about it? I used WordPress but after all this AI bullshit I don't want to use it again plus I'd like to keep costs to a minimum.#webdev #developer #css #html

    It sometimes baffles me how prominent charming people like SBF manage to con people into buying into the crypto scam, but then I remember that around half of Americans voted for Trump twice. 🤷‍♂️

    @JoeRess in the Americans defence Biden is worse they don't have an option of anyone competent but you try and find a competent person in Congress 😆

    justincroser,
    @justincroser@fosstodon.org avatar

    @JoeRess well I don't see him competent to make his own decisions and needs someone to make them for him but each to their own 🤷‍♂️

    I’m balls deep in the apple ecosystem and that’s not because of apple it’s third party developers who make such great apps only on apple devices.

    Curse you top developers 😂

    @popey very nice, that client on Ubuntu or the server itself?

    @popey very nice 👌

    Is it the responsibility of the person putting their own washing in the basket to check for items in their pockets or the person who puts the items in the machine?

    justincroser,
    @justincroser@fosstodon.org avatar

    @popey owner, I’m not going to check. I check my own and they should do the same.
