This is very interesting, makes me wanna share my experience too, in my case between 2 different custom ROMs, but with the same phone:

• Lineage OS for microG but without device registration, cloud messaging and safety net disabled

• /e/OS which is essentially lineage os for microg + tracker blocker but with all the device registration, cloud messaging and safety net enabled

Both are rooted with magisk.

e OS would consume MUCH more battery compared to my previous installation of Lineage, so i was wondering if those microG settings can actually change this much, or if pheraps it is the tracker blocker or something else… Another difference is that e/os has a more recent Android version than the version of LOS for microg i was using.

Was your Calyx install clean or it had Gapps or microg or something similar?

Just send them the new report on Nissan of the Mozilla foundation 😂

The problem really isn’t the internet, the problem is how big techs, which have the necessary resources to build complex infrastructures, are dealing with it trying to costantlyincreaseing their profit, and that is son of our broken economical system.

I’m a strong believer that for changing the internet we’ll first need to think about a new and different economic system, where there aren’t central institutions printing money for nothing, and that, as always happened in history, has to start again by switching back to a deflatory system.

Now if i think about a deflatory economic system on which software can be built on i cannot think something else of Bitcoin, if lightning network is the layer granting micropayments on it, software built on lightning network can be what makes us detatch from this shitty web based on ads and unrestricted profilation.

It’s still on its infancy but honestly i don’t think a decentralized network more trusted than bitcoin exists worldwide. Installing a full node/lightning node with every internet modem ineveruy home would make the infrastructure for a completely different internet.

I’ve been seeing some projects built on lightning network like the impervious browser, it kinda vanished, much more work is still needed.

In my opinion that’s what we would need to work for, we can’t exclude the economic model from the internet because that’s just how our society works and always worked, collaboration is needed to build something better togheter, and that most of the times requires and is facilitated by some form of economical incentive. But we need a different type of incentive.

What do you mean tor is not usable on normal internet anymore?

Anybody knows what happened to the impervious browser?

This sounds like a torture

You just need to reboot it manually

Hugo, Jekill, Docusaurus, host on github pages, netlify. Buy a domain for 15$ per year.

Edge would ALWAYS get on the way with its stupid search bar widget. They tried to improve their shitty outdated piece of crap internet explorer that nobody was using and they ended up with a modern shitty piece of crap that is edge.

And this will work for google products only of for chrome as a whole?

Can you explain to someone not so tech savy what this means?

But a small minority of really determined people is enough to change the world 🙌

I love to see how people nowadays find easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism… That’s how they’ve been brainwashing us till now.

Luckly we still have free platforms like lemmy, browsers like Firefox, networks like tor or i2p, torrents, monetary system like bitcoin.

We can step out of the world of and we are the ones who have the most intruments to do so.

This is a lovely story

In the end Firefox always wins on this

Gotta say thar for someone who is currently following a JavaScript course this is pretty descouraging ahaha

I gotta say i also fell in that category of people trying to use JavaScript for stuff that is not exactly JavaScript suited. For example i’m writing a little script that changes markdown links in some files using the fs node, this is probably better suited to do in bash or other languages but the first thought was: i know a bit of JavaScript and that took a lot of time, what would be the point of learning a new syntax with all the stuff i will have to learn only on js!

May i ask why everyone hates JavaScript so much? It’s not ironic it’s a real question, i can’t really get it, is it just because it doesn’t have types? Or there’s more?
