  • Reviews are good to learn about each printer features if you don’t like to read. Then, just do a check list and see which machine has the best specs for your needs. At least that’s my approach when buying printers because at the end of the day they’re all extremely similar and capable all things considered. A consideration that may only matter to few is the proprietary/open-source aspect.

    Reviews will only emphasize bells and whistles you may not even need. Everyone will comment on their personal experience which will vary with the machine they have and the gap can be huge for the same machine because it’s a piece of hardware/software and some may have flaws despite all the quality checks.




  • When I first heard about Zen, I’ve tested it with EFF like I do for all web browsers I experiment with (from most mainstream to most unknown). Unfortunately, it doesn’t offer a full privacy.

    Not everyone cares, but if this is something important for you, Librewolf has been the only one to come up with a full privacy protection result. Maybe you could achieve a good result if you use Arkenfox with Firefox… I didn’t try it.





  • This doesn’t sound like the normal behavior. From the app description: “This indexing process may take some time, but it’s a one-time event. Once this initial indexing process is complete, the app will store the index on your device, and any new photos you add to your photo library will be automatically added to the index on the subsequent app launches.”

    If your experience is different you may let the dev know so they can fix it.




  • If you’re looking for an in-browser alternative I’d highly recommend you take a look at the LibRedirect extension for Firefox and Chromium. It’ll automatically redirect any youtube URL to your preferred alternative between Invidious, Piped, PokeTube, CloudTube, Tubo, FreeTube, or Yattee.

    If you’re looking for an external app and like using a Linux terminal then ytfzf may be a good choice. I’ve briefly talked about it here. It will even allow you to search on Youtube (through invidious), Peertube, and Odysee if you so desire.

    If looking for a phone app, I personally like NewPipe.

    I use the open source KISS launcher for years now. Your data never leaves your device, and you can expect to save battery life and speed up your device compared to complex and bloated launchers. KISS is just 250 KB and never connects to the Internet.

    The best thing is that - behind a simplistic configuration menu - you can configure it from an ultra minimalist black screen with one text box to call when you need to launch an app, search for a contact, search on internet… to a full app drawer organized however you want (alphabetical order, your own defined categories…). It’s just insane and unfortunately so much overlooked.
