Apple is releasing a more comprehensive password manager in the next few months, if she’s heavily in the apple ecosystem the switch could be pretty convenient

Obviously bitwarden or keepass would be great but this would be a bump up from being stored in a browser

Dualboot Linux Mint and Windows 10 on main desktop.

Windows 11 on work laptop

and Xubuntu (i believe) on a cheap laptop i got a few months back for first experimenting w/ linux on

Experience wise i’ve had a better time with mullvad at every corner when it comes to vpns than proton.

Protons still a respectable company i’d say but there focus is gonna become spread more thin while mullvads gonna continue providing a stable and simple experience.

Plus mullvads never gonna confuse you when it comes to pricing unlike proton, no extra time spent finding the difference between a monthly and annual subscription.

Did a fresh install of linux mint recently, because of that a good chunk of my software has been FOSS, however, when it comes to all the gaming related stuff I’ve installed (drivers, clients, etc.) its been a hit or miss with more proprietary software then i’d like.

Will say, I’ve struggled for a while to find a good open source music player for local files, I’d love some recommendations (currently trying Rhythmbox but I don’t feel I’ll love it)

I had reddit but was never a big user of it, hopping on only for events or to look stuff up. But once I got into federated services and learned about Lemmy I gave it a go. Pretty sure I’ve used lemmy more then reddit at this point

You could go with a regular mailing service that has a catch all feature and the ability to forward emails to your main address. You lose out on all the useful features such as disabling certain addresses and open your inbox to more spam but it’s an idea.

Not gonna outright recommend them in a privacy subreddit but for example Cloudflare has a feature like this from what I can tell and so does Apples paid icloud plans.

Could setup your main address as name@example.com and your catch all with a subdomain such as servicename@mail.example.com and just have them forwarded to the first address

Better search results on major search engines. Not gonna sit here and act like I know what I’m talking about but the major benefit of Reddit was being able to search a question and add “reddit” to the search and getting relevant results from years of posts.

I’d love to see lemmy reach that point as thats honestly been my only reason to open reddit recently

i fear your best bet really is just using thunderbird or a fork of it and messing with themes.

I did have the same reaction on my first instal of thunderbird but after customizing it a bit i’ve come to like it

Yep!

Feels pretty overkill at this point, can’t help assume most of its redundant but I haven’t run into any issues yet. I got them from this firefox support thread a while back

Questions: What tactics could be used to move people en masse away from mainstream platforms

Keep letting large platforms run themselves into the ground. Has been working with twitter, each substantial change is causing more and more people to ask why in the hell do I wanna stay. Other then that just push those you know to use alternatives

I was able to easily convince friends to switch to firefox from chrome when they announced all those changes to their ad system

Install ublock, add a filter to block the login prompt in the “my rules” section

Can’t find the exact rules I have but when I’m on my desktop i can reply with them, there’s a bunch of variants I found searching for it but they should all work (unless googles changed stuff)

^^^ so many motherboards available not sure what i’d even be looking for

such a big feature

Watch Dogs, just got caught up with other things

Just watched your video on video editing/creation on linux earlier today, great watch

First big step I took was going through all my emails and deleting inactive accounts/making deletion requests. It was a major hassle but made me feel a lot more secure about my email and digital footprint. Plus built a real basic understanding about taking a more minimalist approach to the internet, suddenly I wasn’t getting emails every hour and random notifications, it was nice.

Other then that ublock origin and your password manager of choice that hopefully isn’t attached to the browser, oh and 2fa

the wooden trims here look beautiful

one of my first html/css projects was a real simple linktree type page. This would be a great entry to learning/trying it out

not an alternative to tracking the shows but libremdb is a imdb front end you might find interesting.
