These are my own observations. Of course, I can put up with these shortcomings, but why should I if I can just use Firefox? It is the only non-Chromium browser that is more flexible thanks to css support.

Brave Browser Caught Redirecting Users Through Affiliate Links Also, I found Brave to be bloated with crypto/AI features. That being said, I see no reason to use it instead of Firefox.

Did you know that not everyone on Lemmy has or wants a Google Pixel?

My friend’s phone screen broke. So whenever he received an incoming call, he would take a wired mouse out of his pocket and connect it to his phone to answer the call.

Yes, it’s true. Most of the talk about Creality printers is based on their early models. I had a first gen Ender 3 and it was terrible. I had to calibrate it and adjust the screws after every print. But then I switched to the K1 Max, and it became much better.

Google Pay is the most underrated product in terms of privacy. Just think, you’re disclosing your financial status and consumer habits to the world’s largest advertising company.

Pornhub’s 2024 statistics show that almost 5% of traffic came from Linux devices. This number doesn’t include PCs that are used purely for work (probably).

Ubuntu touch is dead. Are there at least native browsers for it?

The only browser that supports proper extensions such as Ublock origin (which is much more advanced than the built-in adblockers in other browsers).

It’s a video

Marketers manage to convince tech-savvy people that their device is almost unusable by manipulating percentages. For example, “50% brighter screen, 30% more energy efficient”. It even worked for me when I didn’t want to buy a previous phone model just because the latest generation had a 50% brighter screen. But then I realized that I was perfectly happy with the screen of my 4 year-old phone.

“Just Google it,” they said. So, you Google it. You find one result. It’s a forum post. From you.

It’s pretty clear. Facebook is now full of crap created by artificial intelligence (and not only).

no-ip requires manually prolongue domain once a month on free plan. Duckdns doesn’t.

Some time ago, I tried Ubuntu for the first time. I was shocked that the preinstalled Firefox (snap package) took 10 seconds to launch, compared to 1-2 seconds on Windows.
