Google play services betrays you.
Use grapheneos.org and it sandboxes Google play for you, but ironically requires a Google Pixel phone.
- Comment on Don’t Use Session (Signal Fork) 3 weeks ago:
Use simplex.
- Comment on Niche Communities won't be able to reach their true potential until lemmy adds a sort that takes engagement into account. 2 months ago:
Sorting by new is usually a waste of my time and has nothing of interest to me.

“Well dam” - beavers
- Comment on WIRED: Neo-Nazis Are Fleeing Telegram for Encrypted App SimpleX Chat. 3 months ago:
No identifiers.
To deliver messages, instead of user IDs used by all other platforms, SimpleX uses temporary anonymous pairwise identifiers of message queues, separate for each of your connections — there are no long term identifiers.

Mouse, mostly. I’ve noticed that I feel lag much much more with mouse.

It sounds like many of your problems could be fixed by installing kde plasma6 instead.

I can confirm 3-5ms frametimes with a popular shooter at 165hz.
- Comment on Avowed Runs at 30fps on Xbox Series X and S, Obsidian Confirms 5 months ago:
Games feel almost disgusting on 60hz now, but they felt fine before I tried 144hz.
Maybe if I was stuck at 60hz for a long time id get used to it.
Now though, if I switch for 30m I can’t ignore the difference.
- Comment on Dark mode’s bright future: How dark mode will transform Wikipedia’s accessibility 6 months ago:
You can change the color.
- Comment on YouTube creators surprised to find Apple and others trained AI on their videos 6 months ago:
Why would they believe that companies they grew up trusting would steal their content?
No one should grow up fully trusting any company to this extent.
I thought Apple was supposed to be so great? I guess they’re POS just like the rest of them.
Yes, exactly.

The last time I looked at performance and energy benchmarks Firefox was winning.
- Comment on "Privacy-Preserving" Attribution: Mozilla Disappoints Us Yet Again 6 months ago:
I agree.
Imagine a world where Chrome doesn’t exist and instead Firefox + privacy preserving attribution is the default for all of the people who won’t listen to your reasons why they shouldn’t use chrome or say “I don’t need privacy, I have nothing to hide”.
It seems like Mozilla is trying to do the browser equivalent of shifting the overton window and I’m for that.
However I’ll be monitoring them very very closely.

But we aren’t them… right?
- Comment on TikTok's CEO is feeling the pressure and users are freaking out 9 months ago:
You can be critical of the CCP but also see the increased urgency in “fixing tiktok” after US/Israel propaganda to hide Palestine genocide got stymied by tiktok.

YouTube shorts recommendations suck.

1st frame should be back up and get ready to taze.
- Comment on California sheriff releases bodycam video of killing of boy, 15, holding gardening tool 10 months ago:
Pull out both and position taser like flashlight?
Pull taser out immediately to reduce time drawing it if their is slight indication of violence.
I’m not sure someone running at you with a gardening tool counts as fighting for your life.
Police around the world manage not to shoot people in these situations.
- Comment on Microsoft's draconian Windows 11 restrictions will send an estimated 240 million PCs to the landfill when Windows 10 hits end of life in 2025 10 months ago:
Try dual booting so you can test if it just works or if the friction involved is acceptable.

I like how you say that as if its impossible.
I stopped buying things off of Amazon many years ago because they don’t respect privacy and are unethical.

Tab crashes with ublock enabled or without?
If without, it’s probably ads/trackers crashing the tab.

If some has to know to unplug the internet, try to sign up, and force an error to bypass sign up…
It is forcing.
