  • Me, critical about Google because they passed a deal with Israel against Palestinians

    You:

    you are just a Pro-Apple Pro-Israel supporter that hate Palestinians, you literally cannot claim to have the “moral high ground”.

    Ok buddy

    Apart from that, where did I say that would make Apple better? I asked for proof that Apple donated money to a fascist. I’m still waiting for that, because afaik it did not.

    Plus about you original comment, I don’t see any link with them not selling my data and being able to donate to a so-called fascist.

    1. I never said to buy a pixel, I merely refuted your claim of apple being “the good guys”

    I’ve never said they were. I was just saying what was my preferred phone for privacy and convenience. I also said I hated them. That’s straw man fallacy.



  • GrapheneOS tested and I ended up going back to Apple.

    It’s good in concept but in reality you’re just forced to used play services because most apps require it, but you lose mobile payment and access to some apps because you’re not running a whitelisted OS. App makers don’t give a fuck because custom ROM users are fewer than Linux users, and we all know most software and games don’t give a fuck about Linux users.

    Stock GrapheneOS also feels like a jump in the past in terms of UI and accessibility. I felt like I was always going out of my way to make it somewhat usable.

    The Pixel also has a battery that doesn’t last long and poor charge retention on idle (Android phones do be like that though). I found out that many tasks cause it to heat a lot. Something like updating an app takes ages and shows visual bugs, like no progress indicator.

    I hate Apple but at least I trust that they don’t sell my data to everyone, and they have a good UI.

    If the end it’s about how much you’re willing to trade your convenience for privacy. I realized I wasn’t ready.










  • I want to keep cookies to log in easily or to keep some preferences in specific websites

    I want to keep the history for autofill urls and stuff

    I don’t want to keep light theme by default, as well as fixed browser size, and I have to entirely remove fingerprinting protection for that

    At this point I’m just using LibreWolf with settings a lot of people don’t use. Might as well use Firefox with custom about:config entries…

    Its default settings are not good for everyday people, and even for privacy enthusiasts. They’re for paranoid people, at the cost of making the browser much less enjoyable


  • Does breaking stuff happen often? I plan to use the docker image nextcloud:stable-fpm in the hopes of bypassing some bugged releases.

    In a span of a year, I had small visual bugs appear, drag and drop not working (have to manually click “upload from computer”). Easiest way to avoid them is to wait before switching to a new major release. So things regularly break, but they’re not essential and your data should always stay safe.

    I don’t know the docker container you linked but if it does that, or if you wait a bit before updating, then you should mostly be fine


  • Yea if you don’t need much then you can do with exporting not a lot of stuff.

    Google is evil but I know that GDrive has pretty low prices on data storage

    There are many cold storage services out there with good pricing. If you need a VPS with good storage (to automate sync, etc… idk), I know I would use Interservers, based in the USA, priced at 3$/TB/month (HDD)

    But if you only want to sync a small amount then you can do with free services, probably. Don’t forget to encrypt everything when uploading to these services! Don’t want them to be able to see the content of your files.


  • Sure! I always try this

    A small downside: you can’t seem to restrict people commenting on a file you shared. There’s a built in “discuss about this file” feature but it shouldn’t really be a problem, unless you intend on sharing a file to a looot of people, because afaik you can’t moderate it

    I’ll definitely have to try that before trying to send out links.

    Yea, I recommend you always test features to see how they work and what they imply (and if they’re bugged, because Nextcloud often updates and sometimes breaks small things)
