Gemini24601@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•In 2025, Apple still makes it hard to play your own MP3s, so I wrote my own appEnglish61·1 month agoYou need to use an external device to do that, making it extremely convoluted and annoying to do.
Gemini24601@lemmy.worldto unix_surrealism@lemmy.sdf.org•minecraft techno-mage skinEnglish13·2 months agoThis is something I never knew that I needed. Thanks Prahou!
I’ve wondered that myself, but I’ve come to the conclusion that transgender individuals seem to value their privacy more than the average person. This is all due to increased cyber bullying to them online. Linux is well known for being free from data collection (except Ubuntu) and corporate greed, so it would make sense if this was an operating system of choice.
Gemini24601@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Discord’s New Age Verification uses AI and Your Face!English9·7 months agoThis was a wtf moment for me. Even though Discord’s privacy isn’t the best, and even though it’s proprietary, Discord has been seemingly loyal to its user base, even doing cool stuff like offering a Linux version of the app. However, if this becomes mandatory, I will promptly leave, I am horrified that they have fallen this low.

Gemini24601@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Does anyone else feel like tech peaked around 10+ years ago?9·7 months agoIn my opinion, technology keeps improving, however that doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s getting better. I think innovation in technology peaked from the 2000s to the early 2010s, after this period however, it has continually become more and more “enshitified,” meaning that features no one wanted suddenly being added. For example, “ai coffee maker” (this is real), like who asked for this? Not to mention, not only is everything more bloated, but levels of privacy have decreased significantly; every aspect of your digital life is capitalized on for advertising. The early 2010s were simpler times.

So you think it is from the manufacturer?
It’s giving me My Neighbor Totoro vibes

Gemini24601@lemmy.worldto unix_surrealism@lemmy.sdf.org•"Do you know the old fable: The Girl and The Fish?"English8·10 months agoI’m curious @pmjv@lemmy.sdf.org, what do you like about BSD? How is it “better” than something like Linux? You work has inspired me to try it, so I am going to use it at some point, but before I do, what makes it so good? I have an old ThinkPad lying around that may be perfect for testing it out.
Gemini24601@lemmy.worldto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Need Help Bypassing Firewall Restrictions at My School5·10 months agoSeems like Tor snowflake is a proxy that makes your internet traffic appear as a video call. Its purpose is to circumvent censorship, but it may get around firewalls as well. I have no experience bypassing firewalls using snowflake, but it may be a viable option (someone correct me if I’m wrong) https://snowflake.torproject.org/
Gemini24601@lemmy.worldto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Zen Browser | Privacy focused, open-source, Firefox Fork8·10 months agoI’ve checked it out, and it looks really good, sort of like arc browser. It’s very stylish, and since it’s Firefox-based, supports ublock origin. It’s obviously not finished yet though, so I’ll stay on Floorp until it reaches beta or stable. I’m totally switching once it gets there

Imagine what government funding could do to accelerate improvements to Linux
Yes I’m pretty sure that this has been an option. For example when I go to imdb.com and right click on the tab, it prompts me to “add imdb” for search. Many such cases on many different websites. Maybe they changed the term or function.
