Touchpad cringe

This is already clear from using GNOME and Ubuntu

Thank you for putting in this amount of effort highlighting some shortcomings of the Fediverse

Cool idea! THis should be more broadly discussed. After some discussion here, where could we share it with the F-Droid community? Is there a forum or such?

My five cents: The problem I see is account stuff. You can use F-Droid without an account, and do not want to require an account for ratings. Yet, having no accounts, it is incredibly easy to manipulate votings.

I would probably prefer a “Git Issue”-like thread for every app, where you have to register. This allows for

• Deeper conversation, more insightful reviews, instead of “3 starts, UI ugly” (let’s face it, this is not the reason why we use F-Droid)
• Pointing out code lines in the source code. This could help with bug fixes, malicious stuff, etc.
• …

In how far? I think it is actually a valid criticism of a very strongly opinionated take.

I’ll say what Linus would say: You shouldn’t trust me, even if I say that I’m THE LORD HIMSELF LINUS TORVALDS.

I guess it is somewhat like paying in cash for your groceries: While anonymous, only you buy at this time of the day your favourite 3 food products, a cup of gluten-free instant ramen and a period product.

I would be concerned about this scenario:

• Company X has your TV data (but doesn’t know your name, etc)
• Company Y, Z, … know your name and have data on you.
• They buy/share/whatever data and intersect it. Now they can probably connect the data they have on you.

Are you actually using <500 searches per month?

Mine are:

• Dec 2023 ~350 so far
• Nov 2023 ~850
• Oct 2023 ~1100
• Sep 2023 ~1400

But be warned, this doesn’t work for everything: it seems that spending wildly on a wedding ceremony or engagement ring doesn’t have a “sunk cost” effect – it fails to increase the likelihood of staying married.

LOL

Same. The cost point ($10) is a bit … weird, but it is actually appropriate.

Would that make it basically anonymous?

Well, no. I think there is so much information in there, that the IP address is your least concern.

They are missing the point. I see no reasons to prohibit dog meat, when cow meat is fine. It makes no sense. In fact, this movement is a prime example of the cognitive dissonance omnivores experience. It does not hold up to rigorous investigation.

What about OpenBoard? It is maintained and a great keyboard

NVM, it is not maintained, but there is a very active fork: https://github.com/Helium314/openboard

Got forked by one of the Contributors:

Not sure. Couldn’t the bots just decrypt it the same way?

Ahhh, didn’t read to the end. Hm. Still not convinced. I don’t want captchas etc to use the internet

Decomposing the current time into prime factors. 24-hour-format, only one minute time, then the next one.

Lmao

While I’m at it, what is the community opinion on NoScript? The first few weeks were a bit of a pain, but now it is actually quite convenient.

I read about one. Let me see if I can still find it…

Edit: I can’t.

Thanks for your reply! Is the web annoyances list better than the built-in one in uBO. Should I disable the standard one?
