It’s not weird when they are saying weird things and you want to find out about their motives.

Not in the toilet

Each of which depend on chrome and google’s decisions.

Companies doing an IPO are not public companies (yet)

I doubt DND (Do Not Disturb) hides those notification icons on any phones. It’s purpose is just to mute the sound and vibration of most of them.

That does not depend on the version, but on google’s safetynet. Apps can check with it if your phone runs an approved installation, which means not just being limited to the original ROM, but one that still contains all the garbage data mining apps that will also drain your battery and your mobile data plan, besides taking away your privacy.

Who cares, if I can’t use those apps even if it isn’t outdated but I just want to remove the ton of built-in data mining crap.

You also need to buy that TV to test that

No one encrypts their emails, yes. As a protonmail user I don’t do it either, because proton’s software does that automatically for me.

With the email system, end to end encryption is only beneficial to you, it doesn’t have a disadvantage for you. It’s totally transparent, meaning that it works without affecting how you do things normally.

Where do you turn it off?

Didn’t know it’s possible, but I also don’t understand why would you do that

But most of these are not must haves. Like, SteamDB?

But if you’re pursuing a MSc, you shouldn’t be wasting your time with gaming either, so that’s not a problem… /s

That’s true, but I may be interested in things that I wouldn’t think of by myself that they exist.

I honestly doubt that WSL runs at native speeds. WSL2 literally runs in a VM, and IO performance is known to be worse even compared to WSL1. Maybe it’s just not directly noticable. Do you run a graphical environment in it? If not, that could help a lot too in not noticing it.

That’s very weird as with docker on windows you technically run your containers in a linux vm, and besides that, in my experience windows is not nearly stable enough to be useful for running services.
All while I have been deploying selfhosted services for myself without problems on Linux for years. My only problem has been the constantly overloaded system, but that’s no surprise when you run heavy services on the 10+ year old portable hard drive system disk. Windows would only perform worse in that environment.

We are everywhere. Give up yourself, resistance is futile!

Fortunately that’s optional

What about 300%?

Besides a TOR node, you can also run an I2P “router” (which is a software package).

This is not an outproxy/exit node, so unless your country prohibits in law participating in routing network traffic (afaik not really a thing), this can’t get you into trouble.

I2P is a hidden network like Tor, but compared to that (while it is usable for browsing websites while hiding your IP from it) it’s a better choice for in-network services. Unlike with Tor it does not dislike bittorrent and such.
Everyone who runs a router can not only access I2P sites/services, but also participates in routing the traffic of other users, and with a stable and relatively fast internet connection you can help to improve connection speeds of the network for everyone.

I think it depends on what communities you were in. I would say that the problem may rather be that Lemmy doesn’t have enough communities around topics that are disconnected from the negative things of the world.
