Do people still use Google search?

Google literally has more than 90% ofthre global marketshare https://gs.statcounter.com/search-engine-market-share

It would be nice if we could choose our bias. Sometimes, we might want it biased towards scientific sources, sometimes, towards user-generated content, sometimes towards institutional sites, etc.

It’s nice to see syncthing becoming more popular. It’s a great foss app that deserves more attention and can be used in so many contexts, replacing several proprietary and restrictive solutions

You probably mean the relay servers. They are used in case your devices are behind a NAT and don’t have any ports forwarded. In that case, it would be impossible for devices on different networks to communicate over the internet, so the relay servers make the communication work. It’s not something to worry, since your data is encrypted when passing through it, but it can be disabled.

Still far from easy for the average user.

And the poorer people find themselves having to trade their privacy for access to technology.

What do you mean by foss being orderless? Wouldn’t this concept be more associated with the development structure of each project?

What’s the lemmy equivalent of r/lostredditors?

I guess you’re thinking about UAD (universal android debloat) tool. It has a nice gui, but you need adb enabled for it to work.

Hey, don’t be hard on yourself like that. Sometimes things happen or don’t happen, and we don’t have a clue why. Time can pass so quickly and we can lose ourselves so easily.

But that doesn’t diminish you in any way. I know what I’m talking about. I lost the best years of my life, and no one will ever understand or have some sympathy for it. People are too quickly to judge or to give weird “advices” that feel much more like a kick than anything else. Our lives are so complex and can’t be reduced to simple encouragement words.

I’d advise you to explore yourself a bit more. Perhaps you’re restraining yourself somehow, perhaps you had a too restrictive environment, perhaps you have some undiagnosed condition (that was my case), perhaps something else. Sometimes we try to live life forcing ourselves to be what others expect of us, and we will fail so miserably, but we can live as who we are, and things start to improve progressively.

I hope I didn’t confuse you even more.

Don’t fall for the “it’s already bad, so it doesn’t matter” way of thinking. That’s how companies nowadays prevent us from fighting back for our rights.

Curiously, I used to work teaching tech-illiterate elderly people how to use computers/phones and they always expected the behavior to be like natural scrolling. Perhaps, it’s indeed the natural way…

That’s so cute >.<
