I’d like to see more niche devices, like Boox Nova Air

Do you have some TV box connected to it? Like Nvidia Shield, Apple TV 4K, Chromecast Ultra, Roku, Fire TV or some Linux box?

science@lemmy.world•Conservatives are dying at higher rates than liberals. A new study points to mistrust in medicineEnglish
4·2 months agoIt is nice to think that this would be a trend but when you start from a poor conservative family there are very good chances that you didn’t have education, emotional support and was surrounded by religious fanatics, consequently you will just propagate the circle.
Agree. People are putting a lot of hope on Fluxer and sleeping on Movim https://movim.eu/
No. Security and privacy are necessary but are nothing if not balanced with convenience. A little sacrifice of convenience is necessary but Qubes and even Secureblue passed the mark in my rule. This comes from one that has in its installation: LUKS, Secure boot, TPM PCR 7 verification, Apparmor.d updates and enforced, UFW, dnscrypt, run0, AIDE, Lynis, auditd, checking reproducible packages, etc…

Privacy@lemmy.ml•LinkedIn from Microsoft locked me out — they demand I give my passport and access to my webcam to Persona
12·3 months agoCan we all just agree to adopt a new open source option? That is the only way companies will find us for next jobs. They unfortunately contacted me using LinkedIn in my last 2 jobs so, it is impractical to leave without having a replacement.

What does the File Manager app do? Is it the same as Files from GoS?

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Fuck Github, Microsoft has made it impossible to create an account without linking to hardware or phones
1·6 months agoI wonder how this potential diaspora of repos from Github may affect some package distributions that are merely pointing the application to be compiled like is the case in some AUR application. Will it generate quite a lot of overhead for AUR maintainers?
Isn’t there a way to use Jitsi with Zullip for audio?

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Offline Translator: An Android translator app that performs text and image translation completely offline using on-device models—Supports automatic language detection
7·7 months agoCool this is nice! Just confirming, the image translation is only for OCR, right? I mean it doesn’t translate a photo of a menu in a restaurant or am I missing something?
If you used Ungoogled Chromium why did you switch and recommend Helium? Can’t you achieve Helium settings and tweaks on Ungoogled Chromium? Why add an additional party to potentially delay security updates?
Its just as open source as the other chromium based browsers
What are you talking about?
They also have very valid reasons for keeping the features that make the UI unique closed
What valid reason? The UI closed source is a terrible move. We have no idea what they added to the UI that can be pushing trackers, or even worse (You can’t verify there is no master keylogger / session stealer).
Youll find that parts of brave arent actually open source either, such as their built in AI or the build in crypto wallet.
What are you talking about? Brave is generally considered fully open source at the browser client level. The entire desktop/mobile browser client (including Shields, ad-blocking, anti-fingerprinting, Brave Rewards client-side logic, Leo AI client integration, etc.) is open source

Well, truth been told this is not literally correct. Their comment is getting a lot of downvotes.
For Android, Vanadium in GOS is a better option than Brave.
For computers, I have to say that this comment has some foundation. Why?
For general navigation (things that don’t require login): Use Mullvad Browser
For logins (things that don’t require total privacy and require better security: email, bank account, etc): For now use Brave (or Trivalent if you are using SecureBlue, or Ungoogled Chromium if you are techy savvy enough to keep the uBO extension working reliably)
With this premise, of privacy and security in PC, is difficult to outcome Brave for the later in terms of convenience.
Brave is open source, if you have a problem with something on it please bring it to us. The bloatware can be managed via settings (although very annoying and not sure when enshifitication will become unbearable).
For those recommending Vivaldi, Vivaldi is not completely open source. So, no, I can’t trust it.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Can anyone recommend a privacy respecting 4K streaming device?
3·9 months agoI just want to add that keeping the Nvidia Shield in a guest WiFi, in your home router, can strength even further your privacy.

What do you use to replace the Google’s Image search?
That is the area that I found more challenge.
