@npub1gzc…fsz3 I love "Dreams" by Mosaic.

I find it annoying when a #FOSS repo mentions that it's a #fork of another project, but doesn't actually say what it itself is/does...
I shouldn't have to go to the original repo in order to find out what a fork does.
Also, forks should really mention why they exist. E.g. why should I use this fork over the original?

Website: Please enter your new #password. Oh sorry, you can't paste it; you'll need to manually type it out.
Me: It's cute that you think you can stop me from pasting text into a field [opens #DevTools...]

Any suggestions for a website/app that I can use to rate #films and #TVshows I've seen, then get #recommendations for new ones based on that?
I'm probably not going to find something #FOSS, but ideally it'd at least be #privacy respecting...

@npub1s22…nf4d I'm a sucker for #minimalism.

@npub14xq…k9j9 Great thread and explanation of #DNS and #privacy! Thank you for this and all the work you do helping us find and compare private #browsers ❤️

What is it with people posting the exact same thing over and over again?
I follow the #privacy hashtag, and there seem to be multiple people/accounts spamming it with the same post. Sometimes repeated weekly, sometimes daily...
Is this considered normal and I should stop whinging and just block them?

@npub1rh0…sjsf Try some of these: https://alternativeto.net/category/productivity/time-tracking-tool/?license=opensource
I used to use Project Hamster back in the day. I'm sure there's better things available now though.

@npub1s22…nf4d Since it's floating in the air, does that make it a cloud server?

@npub1m4u…7sa6 I think the line is that I won't create an account for proprietary software, but I will use proprietary websites if I can do so without logging in (with a browser that blocks ads, trackers, etc.).
So I don't/can't use Discord, but I'm fine browsing Reddit (via privacy-friendly frontends).

Is it possible to setup contextual #keybindings in #Linux such that, say, Ctrl-Shift-T will open a new instance of my terminal *while I'm in a terminal*, but won't do anything (or will do something entirely different) when I'm in another app?

@npub1q5l…ywp3 Considering my anti-#Google stance and my advocacy for #privacy, I feel I need to clarify this...
I'm able to install and play these sorts of games (and be ok about it) as I use #AuroraStore and @npub1tva…2yl5, the latter of which has a network permission toggle. So when I install a game like this, I choose not to allow it network access, and so it doesn't show ads and cannot "phone home".
One of my favourite features of #GrapheneOS!

@npub1rh0…sjsf Yes, I also found this #module very helpful for my #Backdrop blog. I liked being able to see all of the options for a reference field upfront, rather than risk creating duplicates.

Do I understand this correctly...?
If you add your bank card to #GoogleWallet, it creates a virtual card number for you to use for making payments. All done under the guise of better #security of course (don't share your actual card details with merchants).
But it seems to me that what you're actually doing is adding Google into the list of people who know what your card details/purchases are... Right?

Playing an #Android #Snooker #game with (what I assume is) an interesting #translation to #English... 😄
Or is 'stroking' a valid Snooker term?
