i have a samsung 2.5" ssd and it actually would benefit from active cooling. when i installed my os, downloaded my steam games, and then made a copy of one (because steam insists on updating which breaks mods) and noticed that write speed was slow af…so i tested with kdiskmark and all speeds were exactly at 75mb/s while they should be at like 550. it throttled to keep temperature under 60c.

nm just spyin’

self hosting is the recommended way, but it seems difficult and i don’t have time to dive that deep

i actually just found one that seems promising, neo launcher. one thing i need that was missing from the others was the ability to organize apps into folders in the app drawer

so invidious now has a red logo? jk, but I’m finding it nearly impossible to find a working instance anymore. and if i do find one, it’s gone the next day :(

the problem with chromium is that because 98% of people use it, google gets to decide how the internet works basically

I’ve also been looking for foss launchers, been using nova for like 10+ years (not foss). lawnchair is supposed to be an open source version of pixel launcher, and i tried fossify too, but they lack features i need. most foss launchers are just too minimal, so i haven’t really found anything good…

use another launcher

brave is built on chromium and it also has crypto stuff, so people here hate it

well that’s good then, maybe the cops will defend themselves!

can’t you just shoot them and say it was self defense?

absolutely, all these hardened firefox forks on android are just as easy to fingerprint as the original. if you try creepjs, they are unique and easy to follow between visits. mullvad browser is also identified even if you clean identity and restart, but it at least blends in with some others. interestingly, i found out that cromite on android can fool creepjs. every time you refresh, it’s back to 1 visits. it doesn’t blend in like mullvad, but it seems like a different unique visitor every time.

people think of browsers and operating systems here like it’s a religion or something, it makes them crazy. google is a problem, but it’s not like mozilla isn’t going to pull the same crap when it gets big enough.

it’s very brave to say something like that here
