@npub1cg3…3u5d I wasn't sure Ubuntu would work on a tablet, but it mostly does!

Installing Ubuntu on a Microsoft Surface Go 3 tablet improves its speed and usability significantly.

You can set up an Android phone without a Google account and with some independence from the Play Store.

@npub16mz…uzxf Admittedly, he admitted this once, and only once.

@npub1yqk…ec6r I used to read on an old (non-privacy focused) homescreen called Protopage. It was perfect for news. I may go back to it, as I have not found its equal yet.

@npub1j2t…uqp4 Did you experience the problem I had with Read You, of some feeds not showing all the news? Read You was by far my favourite until I discovered that.

@npub1j2t…uqp4 What did you decide?

@npub16mz…uzxf Maybe this is why French breads are long: to keep the hands of the bakers out of the blade's harm.

Digital minimalism does not necessarily overlap with privacy.

@npub1tsz…jl0n Haha, you were going down a dark path.

You can compartmentalise your data by using dedicated devices at a reasonable cost.

Thanks @npub1xwu…fmns for the idea!

@npub16mz…uzxf That explains constipation. Your internal nails are crossed!

@npub1tc6…mhfm I meant in your original statement, that we already have a digital currency. Bank created digital currencies are the opposite of blockchain digital currencies.

@npub1tc6…mhfm I don't know if you are trolling a bit here, but you might find it interesting to read about blockchain technology.

Making Linux desktop your default system is an excellent way to wean yourself off Windows and MacOS.

I was able to get my hands on a Punkt. M02 feature phone and have been testing it out this week. I hope to publish a review, specifically from a parental perspective, next week. It looks to be a modern alternative to Nokia's feature phones, but at a cost.

Why I'm Sticking with Standard Notes
https://theprivacydad.com/im-sticking-with-standard-notes/
Standard Notes and Notesnook are both excellent note-taking apps with encryption, and that is a win for privacy.

How is it I've never heard of Skiff before?? Their suite looks like a great all-in-one end-to-end encrypted office solution (mail, calendar, documents with collab., storage). https://skiff.com/
