I was looking into Posteo a while back but was turned off by the recycling of addresses. After leaving the service it's available to anyone after a fixed time.

The experience varies by country, here in Finland I haven't had a single banking app complain about an unlocked bootloader or a custom OS.

How can you do that? I've wanted to enable reader mode by default on Firefox but AFAIK it's not possible yet, so I just forget it's existence.

MQA going away is probably a good thing, I never saw the appeal. Proprietary, requires licensing fees, why would you use it over the free and lossless FLAC?

I've settled with this one because it's really fast and preloads images, which makes looking through thousands of time-lapse photos a doable task, just holding the arrow key.I'd like a bit more editing capabilities but I unde

I use Obsidian myself, which simply stores text in Markdown files. It essentially shares all the pros of plain text: it'll be readable in the future, I'm not stuck with a single platform, I can sync and sort them into directories.

What a coincidence, earlier this week I thought about changing the tires on my MTB to better suit my riding style, and I wondered if there are sites with extensive tire reviews.

Agree, I feel like there must be a better way to achieve what Flatpak does. I love it because it's the only major app platform on Linux that offers some form of sandboxing, but the download sizes get ridiculously large.

Most of the time the built-in emoji search works for me. Discord, Telegram etc. can show emojis by just putting the keyword between colons, iirc KDE, Gnome, Windows all have an emoji picker with search (Win + .)

It's nice to see that they changed their stance on MicroG and signature spoofing, IMO they were a bit too hesitant against it. It's implemented in a safe way fortunately, so that only MicroG can use the permission.

I've noticed the same and it's really frustrating, it just straight up redirects to the login page sometimes. I guess I'll have to accept the fact that it's closing down, visitors are not welcome. Can't view a singl

This seems to be old news but they probably did staged rollouts as I only noticed it today. It's nothing surprising to see everyone copy the Tiktok format, but it takes some audacity to bring it on a music streaming platform too.

Just found about this handy extension and thought you all might appreciate it. Never thought I needed it but recently I've seen so many bs channels in my search results, when searching CERN for example.

A real shame, I've been using Nitter to check lots of art accounts, but even with https://twiiit.com/ I find myself reloading it multiple times to find an instance that's not rate limited.

Could be handy, a while ago I was trying to reset an old phone with a broken screen by navigating the recovery blind. In the end I got it done via ADB though.

It's specifically asking to access all the Google sites with a different tld, a far better approach than asking to access every website with a single permission

Plowing the cycle paths is really important, since a thick layer of snow is really the only thing stopping me from getting my bike. I don't necessarily need winter tyres either since the traction can be pretty good on a maintained path
