Or perhaps just read a book -> based

That is the case for every PWA from every browser afaik.

Both Firefox and Kiwi PWA seem go ignore your default browser selection

Hopefully Threads can tank all the lawsuits from Twitter, so that Mastodon can operate in peace lol.

I wonder tho, how much Threads has copied from Mastodon

Mastodon is a bubble. You have primarily highly educated, tech-literate nerds on that platform.

Obviously people are more civil and polite there, than some raging uneducated losers and trolls on facebook.

As the fediverse grows, the userbase will obviously lose this current isolated tech-wizard school vibe, and feel more like going into a random pub in a big city. Regardless if Meta joins the fediverse or not.

yeah, that’s going to be my phone of choice as well, after my Galaxy S9 dies.

When I used Facebook a few years ago, my feed was mostly memes, ads and personal posts from friends and family.

Maybe I never got the ragebait political stuff, because everyone in my friend circle wasn’t keen on being the sad guy that publicly yells at clouds on facebook.

Popular hashtags on Twitter and to some extend even on Mastodon, just makes you feel bad for the mental health of these perma-raging users tho.

Political spaces in general on every social platform are just magnets for misery.

“Ragefarming” and “algorithmically filtering for rage” just means sorting by thread activity. Mastodon already does this.

Hardware-wise: Samsung Galaxy S series or Sony Xperia

Software-wise: Google Pixel >>>>> Fairphone > OnePlus

I use the Kiwi Browser for that. Open source browser with addon support. Is Chromium-based tho.

PWAs don’t work correctly in non-Chromium browsers. Firefox does not officially support them.

They live in Japan, so the worst that could happen is them getting banned I reckon

Apparently there was/is a messaging service somewhere hidden in the core Fi service. I just copy pasted this list from someone else tho. No idea how accurate this is.

Believe it or not, I have not actually used all these services on the list lol

OpenStreetMap. Google Maps is probably the best product in the field tho, even among paid solutions.

Redesigns are always perceived poorly. Every decrease in performance, every lost feature, every relocated setting is heavily felt by all the power-users. For new users tho, K9 probably became more viable/attractive.

Eventually people will get used to the design, performance issues will get fixed, new features will be (re)added and the rating will improve again.

Same thing happened with the Firefox Android Browser.

For me personally, K9’s design seemed very unintuitive and complicated, when I first tried it almost 10 years ago. FairEmail for me is a great compromise between usability and feature-richness.

K9 is probably completely different from a decade ago, but I guess I will wait until K9 has merged completely with Thunderbird, before I look into it again.

• Etar (Calendar App)

• KDE Connect
• Five Prayers (FOSS Islamic App from Fdroid)
• AnkiDroid
• Habitica
• WhatsApp + Discord

LastPass is just producing bad news after bad news. Incredible how incompetent these guys are.

If you had to buy a new phone today, what would you pick? LG is sadly dead.

If you had to buy a new phone today, would you stick to Nokia or would you choose something else?
