Mullvad. The just had a security audit and came out 💯.

Don’t know if they’re free but Mullvad VPN is great. Proton VPN is also good.

 

My kid discovered pokemon go and loves it. I'm excited because he's getting outside and walking around, getting some exercise and not just playing video games in his room all day.

I was thrilled when he asked me to download it so we could be friends. I've downloaded it but was wondering if there was a version (or a similar app) that is more privacy respecting?

Yes, I'd like to swap the drive which has the OS on it.

 

I am currently running Fedora 38 on an old Intel Mac Mini. It's time to upgrade to a new computer. I'd like to keep the hard drive (SSD) and just put it into the new machine. To do this, would I have to stick with intel for my new machine or would it also be possible to put the SSD into an AMD machine and have everything work properly?

You'll definitely want to run the prefsCleaner.sh script at the same time you're running the updater.sh script. The cleanup.js is more of a nice to do, than a need to do.

Yeah, I do that too but every now and then I'll run the cleanup.js script. It always clears away a couple of deprecated prefs. I guess there is no harm in having those older prefs around but clearing them away seems nice.

Mullvad is great for people who don't want to tweak their browser settings very much. But lots of us see the tweaking as a feature, not a bug. I customize the heck out of my browser and appreciate that FF allows for the customization.

It's the scratchpad script where you copy/paste into the about:config console. I just did it for the new v.115 release. I've done it previously but I don't have any set schedule. I guess 1x every six months (2x/year) seems sufficient but I wanted to see what others do.

Also the decision to exempt business and teams makes no business sense. Companies derive the lion’s share of their revenue from enterprise. If a company wants to optimize their product offering, you’d do so with your most desireable, profitable segment in mind. This just seems like a backwards decision.

I think more probably, they’re dogfooding it on the consumer segment and then after they’ve worked out the “oops, we shouldn’t have collected that bit of data” errors, they’ll move to include enterprise. But I’d guess that consumers are the guinea pigs here.

main vault is a full offline database in keepassxc

I'm curious what your config looks like for this. How do you keep your db offline but accessible? Is it a restricted docker container? How do you access it when you're not at home or on multiple machines (like a laptop)?

Reddit's API concessions were clearly not enough for the Blind community.

Since the news broke regarding the forthcoming changes to reddit's API and the ippact that will have on the third party apps and tools many of us rely upon the mods here at r/blind have been working on an accessible option for those who either cannot or will not be staying on reddit. As talk of alternatives like mastodon, lemmy, and the like have increased we decided that it would be best to reveal what we have been working on, hence this post. Several days ago we shared this with those of you on our Discord server and have been asking for feedback. This project is by no means finished or polished, and is currently operating on development backend code and a beta UI to allow for access to still unreleased features that our community needs such as up/down votes displaying state changes, and nested comments, read this as there are and will be bugs and outstanding accessibility problems. However, the advantage of this platform is we control the servers, the UI, and can fix accessibility concerns ourselves instead of relying on a for profit company or the generosity of app developers to do it for us, not that the latter is unappreciated. So please be understanding of the above and we hope those of you who decide to join and see what we have done so far for all of us, and please report problems as you find them. https://rblind.com/
