That’s something. I worked at Dell for a year a long time ago and I can safely say it was the worst job of my life. Hated everything about it. I was jealous of the grounds keepers id see out my windows. Only lasted about 9 months. However, I still think their computers are decent as far as the big computer manufacturers go. I’d buy one today if I needed to. Although looking into manufacturers like system 76 makes me think I’ll go that route for my next laptop.

I wanted to but my pixel bootloader is carrier locked. Supposedly you can call and ask them to unlock it if you own the device but not sure if that’s true.

Yeah same. It sucks. I got into Google stuff back when Gmail was in beta and invite only. Admittedly I really only use Gmail, drive and the calendar. But the sso aspects is the part that is the hangup I think. I have so many accounts utilizing their identity provider solution.

Wow, I thought the same op. Incredible.

Yeah Gmail is the hardest. Just for the sheer amount of logins. Been with it was an invite only beta in like 2005. I got a paid proton account but it’s hard to shake it because I’m constantly needing to log back in with it.

True! I was shocked looking at my pihole logs and see how much Firefox phones home for that crap the other day.

For example: Firefox today on my pihole.

It does the canvas anti fingerprinting with it’s letterbox style display… Is strict with cross site cookie denial. A few more differences. Check out mulls site. I found it pretty detailed in its explanations

Yep I’m very impressed with syncthing. I just started using it a few weeks ago.

What’s amusing is I am purposely not paying for bitwarden because of the check against darkweb leaks or whatever type feature when you pay. That’s seems like an anti privacy thing. I understand it’s a good idea albeit seems to expose a lot of information about you. I would like to do vaultwarden but don’t think I can trust self hosting myself without paying monthly for a vps which I don’t want to do. Home Internet hosting seems to unreliable to me for something that important.

Just random thoughts of mine here.

Using freetube to a invidious instance. https://freetubeapp.io/

Just started doing exactly this recently. Aurora fills the gaps for the stuff that I need without the play store.

Amazing work.

I do aks. I can’t say love is the right word for it. Lol

I use connectbot too and it is sub optimal but works for me… I only use it in emergencies. If I had any sort of regular use id want something else so following.

Second. I once had a staff member come to me all embarrassed because someone sent a dick pick via some dating app while they was on our corporate wifi. I was like, “I promise we don’t care”.
