  • Vivaldi browser and Qwant search engine?

    Jump

  • Browser I’ve been using Librewolf for over a year.

    Helium also looks promising for a browser but it’s Chromium based and I’m not a fan of Chromium.

    For search I’ve been using StartPage. I don’t believe they are open source but Quant I believe like GoDuckGo are using Bing and I think Bing is absolute trash.

    If you don’t mind paying there is Kagi but personally I don’t think the search results have been better than GDG.

  • Found another “new” discord clone called Kloak. Slightly curious as they claim to use purely a username and key to identify you and nothing else.

    Some of the site seems AI generated and the project is entirely closed source. I am curious but I have my reservations even trying it.

    Right now it appears registration is closed which is also odd.

    https://kloak.app/

    Might be worth keeping an eye on. But it might be worth entirely avoiding

  • how do I make my new phone more private

    Jump

  • I dont think we are ever going to see a third consumer level production phone with an alternative Linux based OS. There aren’t enough people out there in the main stream to make a product like this truly viable. Maybe Fairphone or a equivalent. But that’s a tall maybe. Definitely not a flagship level phone.

    What’s more realistic is seeing graphine gain availability on more devices.

    This is the one place I haven’t taken the plunge. My experience with Linux desktops over the years leaves me a little concerned being stuck without making calls in an emergency situation. I’m also using MVNOs and I worry they won’t be compatible with a different OS.

  • Not sure I follow what you mean by temperature? Socially I’d say it’s all over the place. You can make channels for whatever you like. To be transparent the only feature to me missing is streaming / screen share. And the mobile apps need a lot of work ..

    Should I be excited about Ladybird Browser ?

  • Stoat or Fluxor do just that.

  • Last I checked Spacebar hardly just works. Lots of placeholder code at least for the web client. I know there is a fork of it with a web client that’s recommended. But even that for me it’s been buggy

  • I've been trying to warn everyone about the dangers of dehydrated grapes.

  • Lemmy vs Reddit

    Jump

  • There is no flawless solution , that being said there is such thing as worse and even worse … to me Reddit is “even worse”. I’m only accountable for what I post and what I “vote” on and there I’ve got no problems. It’s nice to know here if there are trackers it’s not necessarily baked in. LLMs maybe reading what it can see but those LLMs aren’t determining how and what I’m doom scrolling. That’s what would bothers me.

    And while I’m sure there are bad actors probably willing I still think the fediverse is to small to really garner a ton of effort to extort much of anything.

  • Lots of companies have a very similar Ui to Discord . Like many do to X or Facebook. I can’t imagine any lawsuit comes about

  • I might end up trying that as my Facebook replacement but not Discord. Their policies and data handling should win them an award

  • While I appreciate what Movim is going for it feels like something different then Discord. It fees like it’s trying to be a whole social network. Which is kind of cool but it also feels very very busy.

  • Fluxer or Stoat would be your best options for a feature match ….

  • How is it going, TeamSpeak?

  • I still prefer to open my window and just scream for the person I’m trying to reach. Fuhgedaboutet

  • What are your takes on the Zen browser?

    Jump

  • Completely subjective, I am just not a fan of the UI. I’ve been sticking with Librewolf. Tinkering with Orion on Mac. And I am keeping an eye on LadyBird

  • I get what your saying and it’s true people are insanely lazy. But the whole point of these applications is to chat with your friends. So if you can’t get them to move in the first place , what’s the point of the application then ? So while there is no perfect solution , trying to do to much at once won’t work either …

  • Movim looks insanely promising. I’ll have to check it out after I get off work. I’ll have to update my write up if it’s that impressive. Curious how it will handle from what I understand XMPP is protocol like matrix yes ?

  • Very good catch. Honestly the platform is so small I doubt it will come under fire. Worse case if the platform takes off more can self host and completely avoid these requirements

  • In my eyes they are no different than Discord. They are a venture capital driven corporation who will use your data in the same manner. I like the added features for mmo clans. But that’s not enough to give up the privacy issue.

    If you don’t have many concerns about privacy to start with then why not stick with Discord?
