It’s still waiting on a repackaging effort

Looks like the latest hurdle is that Firefox is relying on some Google-specific variables being present, which fails on AOSP

The same EU legal text has in German 22.118 words Vs English 24.698.

That needs a character count really. Words isn’t a particularly relevant measure when the language uses compound words

Yea it’s clunky as hell and unusable for driving, but as a browsable walking map it’s the best

DDG is older than Bing after all

Bing as a brand, sure. But Bing was just a rebranded Windows Live Search, which was a rebranded MSN Search

Psst, somebody tell this person about gendered nouns in every other European language

Yep, there’s an additional filter for those

They have also injected Javascript into pages (selling new modems) and add(ed) unique headers to HTTP traffic so websites could identify individual users despite their best attempts.

This must have been pre-HTTPS since you’d need to MitM the SSL certificate for that to work

Also self hosted Wireguard on a foreign VPS

I literally don’t even notice between the VPN being enabled or disabled

lol. Hide your private traffic by routing it all to Google

Yea I have no beef with the dev charging. People need money

Having to accept that horrible Privacy Policy though, even if I do pay. No thanks

I think the point of the post is ain’t nobody donating $20 to the Lemmy platform or host or other apps

Why does it matter what we think?

I don’t mind so much that it’s not FOSS. Developer needs paying, fair enough

I want an app without an egregious Privacy Policy that doesn’t bundle code that shares “Usage Data” with advertisers

I much prefer a separate server for the simple reason that it makes my desktop somewhat disposable. Reboot whenever, install whatever. If it breaks my server stays up

Basically, the more you isolate the purposes, the less the purposes clash

Looks like a polished app but sadly it has issues on my Fennec/Firefox for Android

Takes a while for me on Linux too. No idea if it’s longer on Windows

I’m using SnappyMail but I’m sadly missing Rainloop

I know it’s a fork, but the new work seems sloppy and badly implemented. Rainloop was a brilliant UX. It’s a shame it’s no longer developed

Yea imagine buildings being made of bricks and not match sticks

Wait, is this true?
