I pretty much only use FOSS programs. They’re monetarilly free which makes them super easy to try and see if you like them and with the abundance of options it’s likely you’ll find a program you enjoy. I find most programs and not janky like people assume

My computer uses Linux and basically everything is FOSS. Is Steam FOSS? I doubt it, so that may be the only program that isn’t, and the games.

On my phone the only two apps that aren’t FOSS are the Privacy.com app and my weather station which I’m working on an alternative.

What would you describe “medical conspiracism” as?

It is expensive for what it is but it’s really the only option I’m aware of that keeps things simple and has Signal (or anything other than normal SMS and calling). Not sure what cell provider it works with. I also know nothing about the Sonim.

As far as a smart phone goes for your authenticator you could put Lineage on a Hisense A9 phone. It’s an eink smartphone

Flip phones from my understanding typically use a Google based OS as well as plain SMS and calls are not encrypted. If I were you I’d use the Punkt MP02 phone because it’s very basic but uses Signal still for communication encryption. Otherwise I’m happy for you that you went through with it and are enjoying it

Thanks for the Mac address tip. My home WiFi UI gets super slow after I have a million different devices connected because I have multiple GrapheneOS devices. Now I won’t have to constantly delete logged devices

No they don’t. EasyOptOuts is the one TechLore recommends and also the one Consumer Reports recommends for your best bang for buck.

Dark Horse is a fantastic one. The main episodes are Bret and Heather (married couple) and Bret also does interviews with guests

I’m unaware of that. It works fantastic for streaming up to 4K and it will play HDR, Atmos, etc. LibreElec it also supports CeC.

Use Kodi to pirate shows and movies. TroyPoint has lots of good articles on how to set it up. Use RealDebrid and the Umbrella addon.

A 2GB RPi5 works great, install LibreElec (Kodi OS that’s FOSS), put it in a Flirc passive case (they also have a Kodi variant that they then donate some proceeds towards), and hook up a small wireless USB keyboard.

IronFox is a mobile app while the OP is asking about desktop

Depends on the community. Some it’s quite often, and others it’s not. I do like to hear variety in people’s thinking

Humanity is still better off without this company

If that’s your own perspective I think you two need to end the relationship

I use Kagi and it works well. Seems to give results on what I’m looking for. It gives me the website I typed in rather than a billion other things with a different name first

It’s like $10 to pay the Forest Service for a tag to cut one down yourself in the USA

Those are valid ways to approach the situation too. I’m only suggesting more options that I hadn’t seen mentioned already

Lemmy let’s you have a user avatar? I’ve never seen one using Voyager.

My username is a Latin phrase meaning (this particular definition is from Wikipedia): In contemporary parlance, it means tyrannical leaders will inevitably be overthrown. The phrase also suggests that bad but justified outcomes should, or eventually will, befall tyrants.

I think rebellion against the US government is required at this point regardless of your political affiliation as our Public Servant’s have shown to not care for who they represent, the American people.

Identity politics takes over. (As in what you’re saying has already happened to a large degree)

Do you live in an area with lots of homeless? That seems most likely who would do that. Or some mentally deranged person. Either way, be careful with those types of people.

You could try the photography/videography aspect to bring them to justice or the classic scare and/or beat them with a baseball bat
