I use Zotero and Bitwarden with no issues on Librewolf, and I also use Bitwarden on mobile, but the app instead of the extension. I have use Bitwarden as an extension on mobile and it worked fine, but I can't remember if that was when I still used FF or a fork.
I mean, Bluesky is essentially a Twitter replacement, so it's not like many people are going to be on there for tech/FOSS news. Every user on Mastodon knows what the Fediverse is, which means they're disproportionately more likely to care about FOSS and tech, therefore they're gonna spread the word more. Especially since most Fediverse users know the negatives of being on centralized social media, so they won't make a Bluesky account because they have a Fediverse account that will never be stuck on a enshittified platform. Therefore all the tech nerds are here instead of Bluesky anyway.
We have tech nerds. We don't have celebrities and "hit tweets"/jokes/memes that are getting screenshotted and dispersed to millions. Which is both a positive, but also a negative. Fediverse could do with more silly "hit tweets" (toots? posts.) that encourage people to join. I just want fanartists personally
Librewolf and IronFox (android) both work like a charm! Well, in IronFox's case you might have to tweak JIT and WASM to ensure some niche extensions work, but I'm pretty sure it's a me thing.
I also used Fennec (android) for a hot second, and that has extensions too.
Feels crazy to see Pixiv react emotes on anywhere but that site.
Liberty mutual ads suck. Full stop.
I've seen ads though that I didn't hate, or actually showed something interesting/cared about. I can't remember what it was lol.
Like there's a .0001% chance to find a good ad. I also just never see any, but my mom watches a lot of YT on our TV and refuses to try SmartTube, so that's the only place where I'm forced to see ads...
I already know and have used CoMaps (switched from Organic due to the transparency issues), but CoMaps doesn't have traffic data, and I want that.
Magic Earth wasn't fully FOSS, but it was better than Google and Waze for privacy at least...
Anyone got Magic Earth alternatives WITH traffic data?

offline magic earth requires now a 15€ subscription
I liked using it but 15€/year for navigation is too much for me. I'm going to stick to osmand now. At least osmand is open source. It has roughly the same features. It's just not that beautiful. I paid for osmand btw. What's your alternative?
Edit: And I like paying for osmand because it is open source.
If you are willing to break from Proton email like I did, I think mailbox.org + Anonaddy.io + Thunderbirds has been pretty good for me. I still do use Proton VPN though.
Yup, used this a lot until I started using KDE Connect more.
Guidance for Noob? (Synching vs Nextcloud, Immich, Tailscale)
TL;DR: Unsure if I should just run Syncthing, or do a Nextcloud. Tailscale seems at risk of enshittification, so do I find alternatives or just use it for ease? Is Immich easy enough to set up without Tailscale? Stick with docker or podman for ease? Are externsl drives easy to work with? Should my RAID1 be NTFS or Ext4?
Starting My Selfhosting Journey I recently got my drive bay and Optiplex and have already flashed Proxmox onto it so I could eagerly spin up some local services to see what I wanna stick with. Or at least I tried anyway 😅
Jellyfin in a debian container was quick, painless and seems to work fine. But I was trying to set up Nextcloud and I felt lost, with the many different ways people go about it. When I tried to set up Nextcloud AIO in a Debian VM with docker it forces you to set a domain for your instance, but I only want to do local for now (ease and security until I get the hang of things). Which then runs into the hosting a domain via Tailscale problem.
Unfortunately it comes down to luck, you can check this crowd-sourced list to see if your banking app works. Users report whether or not they had (sandboxed) play services installed and what settings they toggled.
You won't be able to use GPay/Wallet at all due to lack of SafetyNet.
On browser view you can't, but I switched to desktop view and it came up. The settings page on browser is fucking embarrassing.
I mean, outside of posting a few pics of college events, I don't think most of my friends post pictures to Instagram. Hell, some of them like me don't even have Instagram/major social media anymore.
Before I left Insta, I didn't even bother to follow friends/irl people I know because I'd rather talk to them in person that shit's dumb, I really only looked at memes, silly reels/vids, and fanart of stuff. Like 90% of Gen Z is only on social media for content and lols, not to update each other on their lives
I talk to my friends in person. We share pictures of shit we do in life to each other in group chats, but 95% of what we do was done as a group anyway. We don't really feel the need to let randos/online friends know every thing we're doing all the time.
I'm a cyber major, but what should I minor in?
I know that I want to major in Cybersecurity, as it's been a passion of mine since middle school, and I really like my classes so far (Sophomore). But I'm starting to think about what to minor in because my degree leaves a lot of credits open for electives or other classes. My mom has stressed to me the importance of backup plans in case the cyber field crashes for some reason, and I understand, but it's stressing me a bit.
I'm trying to think about both my strengths, likes, what is relatively AI resistant, and is projected to have decent growth according to the US BLS. I've considered data science or a similar field, but I don't think I'm a huge business person.
What I'm good at:
- Sciences, specifically bio, chem, marine, and earth. I never did physics nor want to (it sounds boring...)
- Math, although my degree only required pre-calc at max. But it's always clicked for me as long as I do some short practice
- Writing, even if I hate it sometimes
- Tutoring/teaching others
Thank you for sharing your experience as a kid, it's the kind of stuff that I'm writing this paper for in the first place! If I do make it publicly accesible, I'll share it on Lemmy for those who wish to read it. I made this account for that purpose honestly.
I don't play Guilty Gear, but it's impossible to not see content about it, but I do know about Bridget and Testament, and GG has some fantastic characters and designs from what I've seen. I do love Bridget and Testament's designs. I have seen a video talking about how the fighting game scene being so open with tournaments and based on skill has allowed queer players to flourish. Thank you for your input!
I can try to look at some cozy games, although I think that the reason why these types of games appeals to LGBTQ+ gamers is because they're typically indie games, which have a higher chance of having queer chracters or the creators themselves are queer. I do plan to note how games will have diverse gender options, but then forget to change things that you mentioned.
I know about Splatoon 3, as I play the games myself! Acht is also nonbinary (or uses they/them), so there's that too. Thank you for the Spryo input, I'll check it out as I don't often see people talking about asexual characters in games. Same for the GLAAD study, I have to look at that now.
I do plan to talk about some online gaming, as many of the sources I found talk about World of Warcraft's issues with LGBTQ+ players and how they struggled to make a space for themselves. Thank you for your input!
Thank you for your input! I'll see if I can tie that into my topics.
What topics would you like to see in a research paper on queer gaming?

Hello! I'm currently working on a research paper for my English composition course, and we were given free reign on the topic. I decided to do my topic on the history of queerness in gaming, and I'm not only talking about queer characters, but also the gaming community too. So far, my major sources focus on things like:
- Demographics of games with queer characters (which identities, created in what country, what year was the game made, etc.)
- I want to try to find more stuff about trans, enby, and ace characters as I feel their representation is a little underepresented
- Opinions of queer and non-queer gamers on queer representation in games
- How fan interpretations, fanon, and external content (like social media posts) is important to gaming too
- What games do right and wrong with representation, especially when it comes to "non-gendered" character creators
- How localizations/translations are sometimes
