That’s not true. Google Pay (or Wallet?) doesn’t work on GrapheneOS. NFC and contactless payments work perfectly fine. You can use Curve Pay or in Poland BLIK via bank apps.

Yeah, I think it’s about MTP. It has always been slow and buggy in my experience.

I think someone just redacted your DE.

I have never tried Swisscows but I just want to say that Kagi is fantastic. Absolutely the best search experience I had in years.

You might want to check out fatrace. It can tell you exactly which processes access the given filesystem.

I see nothing wrong with that.

I just think it’s fair to say the way they ask for donations is at least a little bit disingenuous.

It’s not that simple and transparent actually. Wikipedia doesn’t really need those donations to operate. They have money reserves for many years of expenses. I don’t have a great source right now but this article looks decent. I didn’t read the whole thing though.

Most ebooks I bought recently come with a warning that the buyer’s data is embedded in the file to deter from sharing it online. TBF it cannot be hard to remove it but I didn’t bother to check how it’s implemented.

Same for me. The technology is cool. Big tech corporations are not.

Chrome is just faster than Firefox. I use Firefox, but I do it despite its performance, not because of it.

TBH, yeah, that’s what I consider the point of my life - amusing myself until death. Whatever I do will not matter in 100, 1000 or 1000000 years which is all just a blip in the scale of the universe. So basically, I’m just trying to have fun and help other people have fun. Of course I realize that I’m incredibly privileged to live a life where I don’t have to worry about too much and I can think about fun and not surviving. I experienced difficult periods in my life and the answer to this question was much, much harder back then.

Yes! I actually couldn’t resist reading it again when posting it.

This is what always comes to my mind when someone mentions Enlightenment: https://web.archive.org/web/20230424121033/https://what.thedailywtf.com/topic/15001/enlightened. Might provide some answers too.
