In all my years of not using WhatsApp this has never happened to me lol. At best I’ve gotten some people to message me individually on Signal but not entire groups

Have you ever tried a stylus with it? I’ve never tried using a stylus on Linux but I’m curious about it

Notesnook is working on making their sync server self-hostable so you might just want to self-host once that’s available. Otherwise if it’s just down short-term just a text editor and markdown? You can import markdown files to Notesnook once it’s back up for you.

Notesnook has been working fine for me, not sure why some users are having issues and some not.

For context, my threat model doesn’t need to account for real people breaking in and accessing my computer, the damage would be very contained.

I mean if you don’t have open ssh ports on your computer or whatever I don’t think you need a strong password, given that you’re not concerned about physical access. I would say that at the very least have a reasonably secure root password (/user password if you’re a sudoer/anyone else who can get root permissions with your user account) because if you end up with some malware on your computer that can, say, enter passwords, you don’t want it to be ridiculously easy to bruteforce.

I don’t justify Mozilla’s bullshit, and I don’t use upstream Firefox for that reason (I use LibreWolf). Asking Mozilla to implement their own adblocker is asking them to reinvent the wheel. They should ship Firefox with uBlock Origin pre-installed like I said. Asking Mozilla to write their own adblocker which will likely be less effective than a third-party adblocker, is absolutely not the same thing as justifying them sneaking in opt-out PPA. How on earth do you even see those things as remotely comparable

I’m saying that your suggestion is ridiculous, not that what Mozilla is currently doing is correct.

Firefox is a browser, not an adblocker. Why would they make their own adblocker when there are already independent adblockers that are very good? I would suggest Firefox just come pre-installed with uBlock Origin

I just use Mullvad VPN’s default DNS servers (with ad blocking, tracker blocking, and malware blocking)

Dark Reader browser extension or just a userstyle. For me, Dark Reader works very well for sourcehut.

Something funded by the government but ran by a public org would be ideal.

“the government” which government?

I don’t want software beholden to any state interests. I see donationware as the way to go; or if donations can’t sustain server costs, donations for sustaining development, and then a public flagship instance which people can pay to use, or self-host for their own server costs.

Same here, a certain printer of mine just did not work with my Windows install whatsoever but works fine with CUPS lol

The main thing base Arch doesn’t install is a bootloader and graphical environment. I think most of the time installing a DE also installs the various tools that may be missing from a fresh Arch install.

In any case, I’ve never had trouble printing on Arch or Arch derivatives. Try following the Arch wiki article on CUPS. So long as you install CUPS I really don’t see what printer problems could be attributed to Arch rather than problems with your printer and CUPS on Linux

I find it works fine for most websites and I just disable per site if DR has made a website unreadable

I think developers can upload their own addons for Android now. Or at least I saw quite a wide range of addons available when I went looking for some.

Librewolf has Mozilla sync, otherwise you could try using a third party syncing tool to sync your librewolf profile directory?

assumming X11 and not wayland, there might be a fork? idk

Ah, but mistakes could detract from disinformation if it’s mistakenly correct!

Personally I’m fine with 8as’ specs and don’t need any of the extra features of the Pixel 8 so I’d prefer to save the money and get an 8a. Plus 8as are supported for longer. Nothing wrong with getting an 8 instead if that’s what you want though

A contactless card barely takes up any space. It’s not particularly easier to lose either. I’ve never lost my card; I just keep it in my wallet, in my pocket, just like my phone is in my pocket.
