OpenBoard isn’t updated anymore, use HeliBoard instead (it’s a fork that’s actively maintained). It’s also on F-Droid https://f-droid.org/en/packages/helium314.keyboard/

Dockge looks interesting, I gotta check that out

Go eat a dick Elon

Libre Computer offers some SBCs with Amlogic CPUs. I think the Le Potato might be the most popular one. I just ordered an Alta AML-A311D-CC. I’m really excited to try out how well it performs!

Unfortunately they use Chinese CPUs (made by Rockchip)

As long as Raspberry Pi doesn’t start ripping off their customers, I will happily stay with them. Most other SBCs are made by Chinese companies, which I definitely won’t buy. Hell no, I’m not supporting the Chinese economy.

Is it the best?

In my experience, yes. Definitely the best one.
All the other ones I tried are much worse.

Maybe this one? https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/469273-lemmy-universal-link-switcher

The Lemmy Universal Link Switcher is awesome

Plume is pretty cool

lmao

I’ve been using Apple Music on Android for years, I definitely recommend it. The app is totally fine, I think it’s still better than Spotify’s crappy app. On desktop you can use the Cider app, which is much better than iTunes. It’s even available on Linux.

Apple Music only raised the price by $1 since the launch in 2015 (9 years ago). But they added cool features like lossless audio quality and Dolby Atmos. They also had lyrics like 6 years before Spotify added them. I think you can even get it for $6 dollars if you’re a student.

It doesn’t intentionally disable biometrics. Disabling biometrics is just a logical consequence of wiping the encryption keys from RAM. Your data is encrypted with your password as the key (not exactly, it first goes through a key derivation function, but the PIN/password is the entry point for the KDF). Your biometric information can’t decrypt your data, as your data is not encrypted with your biometric information as the key. When using biometrics, the encryption key is kept in RAM, and the biometric data is only validated by the OS. No actual decryption occurs here. The data on your phone is only being decrypted during the first unlock after a reboot. That’s why security states are grouped into BFU (before first unlock) and AFU (after first unlock).

The main purpose of this is actually security. Because when the device is in BFU (before first unlock) state, it’s much harder to gain access to the data (without the correct unlock credentials). During the reboot, the encryption keys are wiped from RAM, making it essentially impossible to access the device, since brute-force unlock attempts are prohibited by Weaver API, which is enforced by the Titan M2 hardware security module.

GrapheneOS has a convenient auto-reboot feature

We need a successful replacement to DirectX for this to happen.

Vulkan?

They got rid of port forwarding to improve the reputation of their IP ranges. That makes it less likely for Mullvad users to get blocked by CDNs like Cloudflare and Akamai when visiting websites. If you want port forwarding, just use AirVPN or rent a VPS and use that. Not sure what you’re talking about, but Mullvad is based in Sweden, which is not a part of the five eyes alliance. It’s a part of 14 eyes, but Sweden has very strong privacy laws, Mullvad even has an entire page about privacy legislation in Sweden: https://mullvad.net/en/help/swedish-legislation

They also have a page that explains how Sweden being part of the 14 eyes alliance doesn’t really affect Mullvad: https://mullvad.net/en/blog/5-9-or-14-eyes-your-vpn-actually-safe

Their office was also raided by prosecutors last year, and they weren’t able to seize any customer information, because Mullvad doesn’t store anything about their customers: https://mullvad.net/en/blog/mullvad-vpn-was-subject-to-a-search-warrant-customer-data-not-compromised https://mullvad.net/en/blog/update-the-swedish-authorities-answered-our-protocol-request

Yes, there’s no reason this wouldn’t apply to a VPN provider. It’s also the reason NordVPN or Surfshark is so incredibly cheap.

They have lots of users -> They can pay lots of money for advertising -> They get more users -> Everything becomes cheaper -> They can pay more for advertising

You get the point

That’s how a good portion of the Dark web works, and I find it amazing
