The best argument against "I have nothing to hide"

Found ruffle written in rust to run old flash games I had saved decades ago.

FreeBSD feels like a different world. No shiny snaps, no flatpaks, no electron apps. Most apps have download links for Windows, Linux and macOS but not for FreeBSD. Although Freshports have a good collection of software for FreeBSD, the real fun lies in building from source.

It finally happened.

Witness a recent @EA game launching flawlessly on Linux, and crashing hard on @Windows.

Battery usage of two #foss video players.
The only drawback of mpv (for me) is I can't resize video.

mpv is available on #IzzyOnDroid repo

Consider #Aurora Store as an alternative to #Google #PlayStore.

What it is:
- it is a Google Play Store mirror
- open source and free
- no tracking
- available on F-Droid (#fdroid)
- works without a Google account
- doesn't need Google Play Services (nor #microG)
- not recommended: you can log in with a Google account if you wish
- UI is way easier to navigate compared to Google's Store

Quick story of my distro hopping

All the cool kids are getting PinePhones.

Using #xmpp is simple, secure and easy. Just create an xmpp account, install an xmpp client, login and start chatting.

@jason123santa @rohkostmett Try https://getzola.org, it's simpler than Hugo but still very capable.

Now that FF removed the PWA shit Hydrogen is no longer usable. It also doesn't seem to work in Angelfish or Chromium and Qutebrowser has a new dependency that plain doesn't exist anywhere in the internet. Nheko is total dogshit on mobile devices because it crashes every few seconds and with luck half of the buttons work and Mirage doesn't just load fdor ages it loads forever now. That makes the Matrix situation on the Pinephone about as bad as it can possibly be aka broken

@GreyLinux If you want to try a fully decentralized chat messenger then Briar is nice to try.
DeltaChat is nothing more then a frontend for email but email can be really private if used correctly.
I made a video about session if you want to check it out

Its nothing different then any other messenger like Signal or Matrix and xmpp.

@GreyLinux I been using Signal since about 2018 (It might not be that year). Only with one person as another way of communicating but its been great.

I also have used Tox, Jami, Matrix, XMPP, Telegram, briar, delta chat, Session.
The ones I recommend are mostly Matrix, signal, xmpp (have not tested it much but its been good when I did) and DeltaChat (It uses email so as long as your email is private then it should be private to).
