But you could switch out the whole lemmy ui with wefwef if you wanted to. It probably doesn’t have all the admin functionality, but theoretically it’s possible.

WTF, did they use a blacklist for username validation?

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. I like it for being a rolling release with quality control. On the one hand I don’t like its restrictive defaults but on the other hand I know enough to work with them and that’s given me a leaner system.

That’s exactly what Threads is. But nobody else wants to play with them.

wefwef.app is also another web UI.

They literally all run the same program, lemmy.

This is so stupid. I love it!

Unless you’re expecting a mail you should never open any links. Just go to the originating page manually.

You can also hover over the links to see the URL they’re pointing to. If it goes to y0urbamk.com or yourbank.to instead of yourbank.com you know that something is up. But that can be hard to see with strange Cyrillic letters or so. So manually typing in yourbank.com helps.

I am very satisfied with my Fairphone 3. I still get monthly security updates. I can easily unlock the bootloader and install any alternative ROM I desire. I can repair any broken part without having to unglue something. But it also seems to be the most robust phone I have used in years. There’s a reason a used Fairphone is as expensive as a new one.

If you really want to go all-in on privacy a Pinephone or Librem 5 would be options but they have their own bag of problems. They are better suited for tinkering.

And regarding the comment on firmware updates of the parts themselves, that is a general computing problem that seems to be the worst with single board computers like smartphones. The solution would be parts with support for open firmware but they are almost impossible to find. I think Fairphone is going a good middle ground. I don’t expect there to be any phone where this is better.

I’m always astonished how little some other parents care about their children’s privacy. Schools as well.

Lutris isn’t just for Wine but for all games. Bottles isn’t just for games but for other programs as well.
