  • LinkedIn locks your GDPR rights behind a paywall

    Jump

  • I usually don't remember about having an account there, but every time someone reminds me (like right now) I wonder whether I should delete it. The problem (?) is that I'm an IT professional and LinkedIn was supposed to be a job search venue (I never used it in 20 or so years, I only got spammed by recruiters whom I either declined or ignored them (you know, the reverse Tinder meme)). But I still have "connections" there and a few recommendations, and there's that thought lingering in my head, that MAYBE SOMEDAY I may need one of those connections as a foothold or a bonus point when applying for a job. I don't know. There are several other IT job boards which all seem like a better solution than LinkedIn.

  • my printer just works! Out of the box, no issues

    Ha, I'm going to test my dad's printer in Linux Mint this weekend, because I plan to migrate him from Windows 10. I remember printers on Linux used to be a PITA ~20 years ago, but I also read somewhere that (some?) printers now work driverless (no idea how that works), so we'll see.

  • How to not loose important documents?

    Jump

  • I have a similar setup. My PC has disks formatted in Btrfs, so I get copy on write snapshots of my system disk, then have a local Restic backup on a secondary disk and then have an off-site Restic backup in the cloud on the Storage Box.

    Thanks for pointing me to Paperless, never heard of it, it seems like it could be useful. I wonder how it deals with languages other than English, if at all.

  • Hister: self-hosted search engine for webpages and files with offline result preview

    Jump

  • I don't get it. It indexes pages which were already visited, right? So in order to find some website I need to first use another search engine. Afterwards, that website is in my browsing history and if I need it again, I don't need to search for it. So what's the use case for this project?

  • I do the same.

  • I thought those materials were used because of wireless charging and because they make the phone body double as an antenna.

  • This actually looks brilliant! And I see it's German, which is a plus. Thank you!

  • Hm... Worth a try. :) Somehow I didn't find it, I only saw something called "notebookbar". Thanks. I don't use any office suites (besides Google Spreadsheets to keep track of my video games spend) myself so I'm clueless.

  • Suggestion: Also release Voyager on the App stores with PieFed in the name.

    Jump

  • I think of the nice things about PieFed is that you don’t need to install an app, you can ‘install’ the webapp, which works just fine .

    Meanwhile, Voyager works great . :) I started with the PWA, but I like using Voyager a lot more because of the presentation, the swipe gestures (I was a user of Apollo for Reddit on iOS, Voyager is the closest experience). The PWA is decent, but to me a dedicated mobile app is two classes above.

  • Manufacturers want you to say goodbye to small phones once and for all

    Jump

  • I had an iPhone 5 for a few years, it was the perfect size for me. When Apple enlarged their smartphones with iPhone 6 I jumped back to Android because I had more options there. I went back to iPhone 11 Pro because it was again on the smaller side. After years of rejecting >=6'' phones I finally gave in with Pixel 8 and Pixel 10...

  • My only issue is with banking apps and our national ID app which is very useful. I know some work, but I haven't seen all that I have listed, so I would have to be the guinea pig :) I actually have an older Pixel phone with a shattered screen, I was planning to have it repaired, so I guess that's where I can test GrapheneOS safely.

  • [App] I made a Circle to Search alternative that works on any Android (with multiple search engines)

    Jump

  • Great idea! However, something bothers me. From F-Droid:

    This app relies on catbox.moe to upload images and Google, Bing, Yandex, TinyEye, Perplexcity and ChatGPT for search.

    I am not familiar with that service, so I went to the website and looked at FAQ:

    How long does Catbox keep files for?Forever. If you don't want your file to stick around until the heat death of the universe, use Litterbox.

    Are you (F)(L)OSS? no.

    Not sure what it is exactly but having my uploaded files stored in some obscure database until the heat death of the universe does not fill me with trust.

    I have a Pixel phone and used the screen scanning tech (forgot how it's called, but it's the same feature, I believe) for OCR to copy the WiFi password from a photo of the sticker that's on the router and of course it immediately sent that password to Google and run the search, ugh. I don't want to send my WiFi password to some website I never even heard about, either.

    Can you explain how it works?

  • WhatsApp is now testing its subscription service, here's what you get and how much it costs

    Jump

  • Signal and Telegram both offer comparable functionality without mandatory recurring fees

    Telegram introduced a subscription named Telegram Premium a few years ago. You get similar functionality there -- setting colors to your profile or groups that you're part of, custom emojis (including animated ones), custom stickers, an indicator that you're on Premium, custom profile statuses, increased limits for sending files, etc. There's a lot more, I just listed some off the top of my head. They've been pushing people into Premium. Telegram is perfectly usable without that, of course. My favorite Premium feature is that you can require unknown senders to pay a fee to be able to send you a message :D Meanwhile, non-Premium users can get spammed normally.

  • Bitwarden 100% price increase

    Jump

  • I migrated from the US servers to the EU servers and while looking through my settings I noticed that my renewal was $19.80 instead of $12 last year. At first I thought that the EU servers are much more expensive and was upset that support didn't tell me before migration, but it turns out that's just the new price.
