@Varyk Fennec is the browser. It’s Firefox Mobile with some proprietary stuff removed.

@Varyk Hm maybe using a private DNS works, but no way to be sure: https://mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls/

@Varyk Ad blocking on the mobile internet. I haven’t seen an ad on my smartphone for years now.

@Varyk It really is life changing :D
Btw other life changing apps if you don’t know them are NewPipe from F-Droid and Fennec+uBlockOrigin also via F-Droid. No more ads on the smartphone.

Go to https://archive.is and paste the URL you want to archive or view.

I only track the dotfiles which I actually write, not the generated ones. So it’s not so different from code. Desktop programs which generate intransparent config files suck. I only wish there was a good way to synchronize my Firefox using git. I know there is user.js but it all seems like a mess to me.

I also rarely want old versions of my code, but I still use git. A very nice feature, besides the essential backup quality, is to synchronize dotfiles between machines and merge configs together if they diverge.

@CaptainAniki It doesn’t matter if you give a shit or not, Matrix will become obsolete if the big providers decide to adopt something else for interoperability.

@Dariusmiles2123 @iturnedintoanewt It’s opt-in simply because you can choose not to message anyone with a @whatsapp.com address

@ninchuka So a corporate re-invention of the already standardized XMPP?

@CaptainAniki WhatsApp is unlikely to adopt Matrix, a very expensive protocol that does not scale well and which fundamental ideas blow up pretty badly: https://telegra.ph/why-not-matrix-08-07

Whatever chat protocol they decide to implement will instantly have a 2B user boost. They use the IETF Internet Standard XMPP internally, so this would be the obvious choice.

@CaptainAniki @iturnedintoanewt It obsoletes Matrix.

@mishimaenjoyer @iturnedintoanewt What are you talking about? They are lobbying *against* this EU regulation spreading fears that it would ‘break encryption’ (which is bullshit btw, since federated E2EE can work fine as shown by XMPP/OMEMO. You just need to standardize.) If WhatsApp and the like wanted to federate they were always free to do so, no lobbying required.

@skankhunt42 Your request for your own domain? I never used Disroot, but I’m thinking about moving, because mailbox.org keeps trying to force me to a more expensive plan with less features than my current plan.

@WandererLagomorph799 There are many providers who allow you to bring your own domain. The ones I know of are Disroot, mailbox.org and skiff.com. The main advantage of using your own domain is also that if you ever want to change your email provider, you can do so without changing your email address. So even if you choose the wrong provider at first, it’s not really a problem.

@whou Don’t forget the time they made it possible to ‘donate’ to creators, but when creators weren’t signed up with their program #Brave would just keep the donation. So users would think they have donated for example to Tom Scott, but in reality he never received anything. Overall just a scummy company.

@gravitas_deficiency This is true. That’s why I run a private XMPP server in my home for me and my family.

@HeartyBeast @trashhalo @hypelightfly Maybe it’s a good idea to include the original URL too. In case the link shortener goes offline or something else happens to it.

@Axion App says RCS is not supported on my device. Looks like I will be staying on XMPP.

@ghostermonster @reclipse Matrix implementation of MLS will be called dMLS and not be compatible with the internet standard. There seem to be technical reasons, but not too surprising for a company that couldn’t build their product compliant with the existing XMPP messaging standard for no reason I guess.
