Agree. If it was a perfect world then governments would fund and contribute to open source project to make sure there are good free solution to keep your data private (at least from being collected and sold to some random companies) and make sure they won't go down.
Sadly I don't think it's really happening...

On windows for a screenshot tool a good one is ShareX. and for a clipboard manager Ditto

I would say VueTorrent has more features. Yet on Android as it's not an app you can't make it open magnet links or torrents when tapping / downloading one.
That would be great to have it as an app or to be able to turn it into a pwa.

+1 that's what I do at home with my desktop and what is IMHO the best solution.
Yet on vacation I use an old android box with Android Tv (SlimTv) and I have to say it's nice to have a dedicated interface allowing use of a remote.

IMHO I am not an expert but Mullvad seems the best (from what I read from others) and I would stick with it. I am using it and happy with it. I also appreciate that their monthly price do not change depending on how many months you subscribe and that there is no bullshit discount for the first x months.
You could also look at Proton VPN if you need port forwarding.

About SurfShark don't have much opinion !

I don't understand the down votes
=> I always read up and down votes as a tool to flag valuable posts. It feels like down vote on this one is about agreement with the news?

I will probably try it but I am not expecting much. I wasn't a fan of the old one. Not to offense anyone but I felt like it was dumb.
Still it looks like a lot of people are hyped about it so maybe I will be surprised !

Communities in left drawer are alphabetically sorted by default. Yet the sort is based on names and not on displayed names. Is there some option that I didn't found to change it? Or could it be fixed or added as an option?
I know I could sort manually but it's not ideal when adding new communities.

For instance episode_discussion@ani.social use "Anime episode discussions" as display name. When I search for my anime subscribed communities I often forget it as the sort looks like it's wrong with what boost display as community name. 😕

I guess she hadn't a phone on her or she was off grid? It would have been nice if article mentioned it. Without that info I have doubts about whether the story is true or not... 🤔

What I find annoying is for what you occasionally use.

For instance I started to listen more frequently to a songs service (which I was bypassing ads) and so I thought to officially subscribe. When I looked at prices I didn't because it was too costly and knowing me I could stop anyday to use it. Price for one was above 10 when for two it was something like 14 so 7 per person and which I would have been ok to pay. Good for me because I stopped to listen some weeks after and it has beek years I didn't really use it.

I think, especially for video and audio media consumption, you should pay a global amount and it should be split between services you used. Split should be based on usage.

On my work computer I don't have admin rights but still I could install Firefox with no problems. It installed itself for local user only.

[-] Matth78@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago

About that you can check this new extension : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/chrome-mask/

Yet I feel it's better to avoid using it and report web compatibility problems. Always masking user agent could led to believe only supporting chrome is sufficient.

What I do is using synching to sync my files on my PC when I am at home. You could also manually back it up on a cloud drive.

Anyway I think it's best practice to store somewhere recovery codes.

Please make option for displaying community icon works in compact mode. I much prefer this mode but the lack of icons make it difficult to quickly identify community.

For those interested in public torrent usage. No surprise, after RARBG closed it's traffic has been mostly transfered to Torrent Galaxy.
