For the record you can exclude certain countries from your tor options. I am of the opinion that most people aren’t going to need to avoid government stuff, but if you do, exclude, say, 5 eyes countries if you live in one. It’ll make it quite hard for them to get the full picture
Mullvad and it isn’t close. I use it to circumvent bans on social media when I say something too communist. Don’t alter it with addons in any way its perfect as it is.
If google, reddit, facebook, etc. can’t figure out I’m circumventing them I consider that good enough.
I also like it has adblock by default which lowers the annoyances
Invizible Pro is the best option here. Uses Tor not a VPN though. Does firewall, i2p, and DNS. Is on FDroid
While it seems chromium based browsers are able to download pages to view later, it doesnt seem it saves a whole website.
This will help but the wiki I’m thinking of using is for a video game and for a ttrpg 🤔
There are android e ink tablets with good battery life. I haven’t had the chance to flash one though
Seconding simplex. Having a built in way to obfuscate IP is very nice. But its more for privacy extremism and small group chats for people in vulnerable situations, matrix is best for most situations e.g. community and interest groups. I also had some ease with setting up simplex with my grandma, funny enough. Not needing to make an account made it much easier for her.
Hope Lemmy gets a simplexchat field one day!
Signal for your family (mostly due to interface), Matrix for online communities, and SimplexChat if you’re trying to be a privacy extremist. I did have some success with setting simplexchat up for some old people over the phone because they didn’t need an account.
Truly unhinged that they decided to come out on this. Fellas, you are fucking Swiss why throw yourself under the train for the US election
Its honestly kinda weird, bazzite and nobara are fairly big. Must be a bug
Edit: Looks like flatpack usage prevents them from monitoring OS, a lot of fedora stuff uses the flatpack for steam. Flatpack users are 5.73% of all linux users, most are on steamos.
In my experience, Nobara requires way less fiddling and works out of the box. CachyOS was way more fiddly. I have newer hardware so things are a bit weird for me in general.
Do wish Nobara had more maintainers. Cachyos isn’t a whole lot better in this regard either, if you wanted something for gaming that has a lot of maintainers you should probably go for Bazzite. Personally, I had issues with Bazzite as well, Nobara seems to play nicest with new hardware out of the box.
yeah you could. though i dont see any evidence that the large open source llm programs like jan.ai or ollama are doing anything wrong with their program or files. chucking it in a sandbox would solve the problem for good though
you can check the process to see if its communicating at all. none of the big ones do. its possible someone could be fucking with the file though, before the safetensors format this was a big issue, and still sort of is afterwards. only DL from reputable sources
the other decent options are matrix and simplex chat, and mayyyybe session. matrix seems to have the most users and kick to it right now. out of those options. but yeah youre not gonna get the average tech illiterate person to get on a more complicated alternative to discord, essentially
Only reason I’d recommend signal to anyone is that its one of the few encrypted apps that doesnt have awful onboarding. A boomer can figure it out.
i use it as an editor even though thats not really its use case. i just feel like gimp is far too clunky, it just feels “off” to me in comparison to photoshop
In general I feel like its probably KDE’s best software package outside of its DE. Know of any other super good KDE apps?
My biggest complaints with krita are around it not being easy to align objects and the text tool could use some love. Other than that, it feels like a great photoshop replacement
Krita, I use it for everything, I hate gimp, it feels so bad
The fuck is Here WeGo? Is it open source
