Thanks for the tip! Im gonna buy some needles from the store tomorrow to try it out.

I don’t think the cost is the problem, as a usb-c port can be had for less than 3$ for an Individual. I think its more that manufacturers don’t think this is something most people want and therefore doesn’t make sense for them to offer.
I used to use mine pretty regularly for some wired IEM’s and sometimes connecting it to my PC.
But a couple months ago, I put my phone in a bag of silica gel balls to absorb some water after it got wet.
Cannot recommend this to anyone else though… because those balls actually have roughly the same diameter as the headphone jack and one got completely stuck inside, making the port unusable. :(
Also a bit confused by this. I thought the point of searxng is to combine your preferred search engines. So couldn’t I just configure ddg for the image results?

Get a sharpening stone, brand doesn’t matter imo. I have one with 1000 grid for rough sharpening and 6000 grid for making it really sharp. It does require some learning tho.
Yes, Aurora is not the ideal solution and Google might be cracking down on it soon. But as long as it works I don’t really mind it going through Google, at least I don’t need an account for it.
And sadly many Apps are just made with Google in mind because it’s so popular, but my hope is that in the future more and more Apps will have at least a Google free option.
Mobian sounds cool, but doesn’t seem so promising to me as well. I agree that custom ROM’s are not in a good spot right now, but I think it’s gonna get better in the future.
I know that many people still rely on Google’s services, but speaking from my own experience, it’s not hard to ditch them entirely.
I installed LineageOS 2 months ago, and was only missing my banking app, which I installed using the Aurora store and it works without any issues. For everything else I found alternatives which are, admittedly not as good/users friendly as Google’s. But I wouldn’t say there’s no true FOSS phone OS.
Aren’t custom ROM’s open source? It would be nice if you could buy a phone from big brands with it preinstalled already. That would make it so much more accesible.
Lol I see how that sounds a bit bad. I rewatched the entire thing today, its actually really interesting.
Definitely NileRed for me. Started watching his video about bulletproof wood yesterday and fell asleep after around 17 minutes. It’s something about his voice and presentation that makes it really relaxing for me.
I don’t think he meant that literally.
If you want to harden Firefox, use ffprofile.com. It makes creating a custom profile very easy, and it should have good defaults. This should provide you with decent privacy and also allows you to remove annoyances like sponsored sites.
Or if you are lazy, use LibreWolf which, as far as I know, basically does just that, but preconfigured for you.
For addons, I would go with: uBlock Origin, CanvasBlocker, Privacy Badger and Decentraleyes.
Finally you can test your setup with Panopticlick.
You should consider switching your user agent. It is often used to track and identify you, by sending stuff like OS and browser version.
You can find a better explanation, and your current user agent here: https://whatmyuseragent.com/
I feel the same way. I switched to NewPipe recently, while degoogling my phone for privacy reasons, but I’m still using YouTube when I’m at my desktop. The recommendations are just better at finding new content for me.
I think he’s saying that he just learned about av1 and made it his favourite video format. Like this perhaps: “How did I not know about this thing?”.
Isn’t chrome also based on chromium? I would argue they are equally bad, because both are proprietary.
Have you tried installing it with no internet connection? That’s what I always used to do, to get a local account during installation.
I guess you could say, that the official USB-C specifications are the “hardware manual”.
Personally, I’ve been really enjoying the technical side of vanilla minecraft. Like building farms, machines and automation. So after I saw you mention quarries, I wanted to share my recent project. This machine destroys over 5 million blocks in total, and it’s so satisfying to see it run.
