ok, thanks

what stopped you from using it? Or did you stop following rss/atom feeds?

Not on conversations, and soon not on dino either. Not sure about others, those are the ones I use and like.

Conversation let you configure that all conversations are omemo secure by default (omemo always). Dino’s next release will include it as well (omemo always issue)

Anyone using NewsFlash? I really like it, specially to keep the seeds locally.

Actually xmpp is low on metadata compared to matrix which has to replicate a bunch of metadata everywhere. SimpleX look interesting, though by not being federated (considered by simpleX a privacy feature) whether you like their client or not. Just so you know privacyguides has explained why they don’t advertise xmpp as privacy oriented, and the reason is not that it isn’t, it’s simply that given it’s federated, they consider some clients are not as compliant or up to date, which is up to the user to select on XMPP, and also up to the user to file bugs against their preferred client or even contribute it with changes.

Not a hurricane tracker, but I’d like understand a bit about open-meteo and breezy weather. I notice for my country there’s no way to be more specific than the whole country, therefore location needs to be enable, or so I guess.

Does open-meteo requires some information exchange such that it’s easy to identify the user/device? Does breezy weather actually attempts to anonymize the user or fake it to make them non identifiable?

Just wondering.

Thanks !

I agree ! I just pointed out the actual differences. And if you use LOS4uG, you have several options, keep F-Droid as it is, keep it and remove the privileged extension, remove it in favor of the basic version, and on top of the last option see if the unattended updates can be opted out/in.

Regarding android version, I think @boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net already gave a good hint. Currently f-droid version 1.21.0 supports android 6.0+.

According to f-droid basic URL:

NOTE: The Basic version of F-Droid Client has a reduced feature set (e.g. no nearby share and no panic feature). It targets Android 13 and can do unattended updates without privileged extension or root.

I don’t see the target version varying between them, I found both to be 1.21.0 on Android (I have enabled unstable updates), and both indicate they support android 6.0+. So if you have LOS or plain android on a version 6.0 or beyond, f-droid should be able to install and work on them.

I use F-Droid since it comes pre-installed and with privileged extension set by default on LOS for MicroG, so I don’t find it particularly appealing to install F-Droid basic instead, but if that were not the case, I’d go with F-Droid basic, given I don’t set F-Droid to serve nearby devices on any phone, and I haven’t ever thought of using the panic feature. I’m using LOS4uG 21, meaning android 14. with no issues, so perhaps 1.21.0 already target android 14, and not just android 13.

So I believe both, the basic and the not basic versions of F-Droid target the same version, and support the same versions, the difference is in basic with a couple of less features. But you can always take a look at the version, and there you can tap on the specific version to see what versions of android are supported.

Greetings !

Oh thanks !

This is all there is as of now:

pref("browser.contentblocking.category", "strict");
// enable APS
defaultPref("privacy.partition.always_partition_third_party_non_cookie_storage", true);
defaultPref("privacy.partition.always_partition_third_party_non_cookie_storage.exempt_sessionstorage", false);

Maybe that’s everything required now a days given it became default. But there used to be more options…

Many thanks !

Arkenfox user.js, or derivative broswers like Librewolf on the desktop and Mull on android are there for a reason. Firefox default settings are not the safer, although it has all the knobs to make it a much better experience.

There’s as well !monero!monero@lemmy.ml which I guess halted in favor of !monero!monero@monero.town?

If this is the case, I’m wondering why not locking the community, writing a message in the community information to go to the actual active one (!monero!monero@monero.town)…

Just a minor suggestion. When looking for something different than what you’re currently familiar with, do so in very open minded way, hopefully no looking for clones to what you were used to, but willing to experience and learn new stuff (there’s no failure, just something new that had to be learned and experienced).

I know it’s easier saying than doing…

Looking for advice on giant communities is sort of hard, and in the end you won’t know what works better for you if you don’t try it. The open mind needs to come with some time to be able to play, and enjoy during the play, so it’s not a whole series of frustrations.

On this same forum (different threads/posts/converstions) I’ve read very different recommendations. Even though Manjaro has been recently getting a lot of bad reputation because of letting some certs expire, it’s still considered an “introductory” gnu + linux distribution. I’ve also read Mint is a pretty good “introductory” gnu + linux distribution as well, specially now that ubuntu has finally shown its inclination towards its snap store, rather than the good and solid dpkg + apt, which allowed it to grow on users to where it’s currently at.

I myself prefer rolling release models for distributions, and being as vanilla as possible, to be closer to upstream as possible. However I dislike systemd, which is just a personal taste, so I don’t have a specific recommendation. It used to be Manjaro offered openrc, but they dropped it, and the distributions I know are Artix (it has gui installers if that’s considered “introduction” level distribution, but one still need to handle the configuration mismatches with upgrades as with Arch), Gentoo (I wouldn’t say it’s not for starters, but for sure it has its learning curve, but more importantly you need to be aware that it’s a source based distribution), and Void. If you don’t really care, rolling release distributions, which might have an easy ramp up might be Manjaro as mentioned, and now I believe openSUSE Tumbleweed. maybe even fedora come close… Rolling release models might come even easier for newcomers, in my opinion, since there’s no need to think on what happens on major updates, but rather one needs to keep updating periodically, but hopefully the distribution helps supporting the safest and saner configurations natively so the user, and particularly newcomer to the distribution don’t have to deal a lot to get such safe and sane configurations, at least to start with. And that’s to me the important part to call it “introductory” distribution, easy installation might be part of it, but it’s hardly the majority of it, and this is perhaps the sad part of what I like about being as vanilla as possible, some distributions even take that as a mantra for configurations, and upstream developers don’t always have the safer, or the saner configurations by default. I believe Manjaro and some others take that into account to make things smoother to start with. Maintaining the distribution, keeping it up to date, being able to install stuff, has it’s learning curve, no matter the tools/frameworks to do so, and it might be harder if one has to deal with how to make things work because the software doesn’t work as it should (configuration required upfront), and it’s not hardened enough as well so the user needs to know that and do additional configuration upfront as well.

I’m missing emoji reactions (not replies), jeje

For some time the alternative is freetube, though I don’t like is electron, is what we can somehow reliably use

OK, there’s a codeberg comment someone else shared, and based on that there’s another of such comments from another issue, which sort of indicates an attempt to get back / reset current behavior, but I’m not sure if that one worked or not given the comments from the one who posted it…

Yes, it seems a mess, :(

There’s also this comment: https://codeberg.org/librewolf/issues/issues/2029#issuecomment-2281388

Sorry about that. I was not aware of other meanings. I’ll try to remember to use the complete “software” word instead of its acronym I was used to since the 90s… Hopefully under the context what I wrote doesn’t get misinterpreted. Thanks !

What was your setting that is getting overwritten? What I can see from librewolf settings are:

• network.dns.disablePrefetch
• network.dns.skipTRR-when-parental-control-enabled
• doh-rollout.provider-list
• network.trr.mode
• network.trr.uri
