- Comment on Is there a way to hide posts that take you to another site? 4 months ago:
If you are using a lemmy app on your phone, switch to the list view so that the thumbnail becomes smaller and the title important parts appear easily interactable.
- Comment on Shopping app Temu is “dangerous malware,” spying on your texts, lawsuit claims 4 months ago:
Yeah boost is definitely good, it was my main app until a few months ago. Recently I have been trying Connect, which is another great app.
Connect has improved a lot since I first tried it, also doesn’t have any ads. But all things considered - Boost is bit more polished than connect.
- Comment on Shopping app Temu is “dangerous malware,” spying on your texts, lawsuit claims 4 months ago:
I think it’s the Boost app.

- Comment on Why people are boycotting Asus all of a sudden? Asus outrage explained 6 months ago:
My msi motherboard randomly erases boot entries, I have to keep the computer on for a few minutes and reboot so that my other boot entry appears.
It maybe a problem with the m.2 slot, but it has been the case ever since I bought the motherboard.
Anyways I’m gonna stick to a different manufacturer for my motherboard if I’m building a new PC.

I have tried Buyvm when I was getting into selfhosting during the pandemic.
They were pretty cheap too, not sure about the pricing these days but you should take a look.

God probably exists outside of our understanding . There may be things different from atoms, that we humans are not able to conceptualize. So god may very well be made out of something other than atoms.
- Comment on Apple is officially dropping iPhone support for web apps in the EU - The Verge 8 months ago:
You do have a point, but each App’s play store page itself shows whether it has ads or in-app purchases. One can use that as an indicator for selecting an app. So people just need to pay attention to the small text right below the App’s title
Then there is always f-droid . You can find really good quality software without ads in fdroid. I rarely use the play store these days (except when I have to update whatsapp and banking apps)
- Comment on Sign up on services without phone number? Is it possible? 9 months ago:
I think there are services which offer temporary phone numbers like mysudo for instance. That being said, I have never used such services so I don’t know how viable it is.

LiteXL is also pretty good.
- Comment on It is essential to stop using Chrome. Under the pretense of saving users from third-party spyware, Google is creating an ecosystem in which Chrome itself is the spyware. 10 months ago:
IMHO, people in corporations should acknowledge that there is a growing user base for Firefox and give it as much priority as chrome. That way people in an organization can at least explore a different browser than chrome (especially the non-tech folks).
The reality is that companies test all their websites in Chrome. Any automation testing will also be focused on Chrome and Safari. Also majority of the developers use Chrome dev tools for debugging. I don’t see that changing anytime soon. I feel that Firefox is like a second class citizen in their book.
But hey, that might be a good thing too. All the tracking B.S will be developed for chrome and We can continue to enjoy privacy with good old firefox.

- Comment on The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion 10 months ago:
I just resumed playing Yakuza 7 after a few months of not playing anything. It’s a cool game but requires some levelling grinding apparently.
In previous Yakuza games I would just proceed to boss fights as a underlevelled character sometimes, but in Yakuza 7 it doesn’t cut it.

I use synching to sync all my notes across different devices. It has been working well for me so far.
- Comment on So I tried Lethal company... and didn't like it. Does it get better eventually ? 11 months ago:
Didn’t know about this one. Maybe i’ll find the man in the chair role enjoyable. Will check it out before I decide to refund the game.
- Comment on Dear server admins, please defederate threads.net. Dear users, ask your server admin to defederate threads.net. 11 months ago:
I agree. We could ride the threads train and use it to our advantage. If it ever gets problematic, instances can just defederate at that point.
- Comment on So I tried Lethal company... and didn't like it. Does it get better eventually ? 11 months ago:
Yup, looks like it’s not my cup of tea. I just bought it to play with my friends. I guess I’ll refund it and get something else.
