Have you used these cards in public? Your information could have been picked up by card skimmer.

At least where I live, it’s very common to hand payment cards over to wait staff at restaurants. I had my card information compromised during a visit to Boston several years ago.

Firefox is a little more complicated than that. Yes, the Mozilla Foundation is a non-profit, however it’s subsidiary the Mozilla Corporation is not. It’s better than Google but like all things, it’s worth asking where the money comes from.

In college, they were all the secret identity for versions of the Flash. Since then, I’ve expanded to other comic book super heroes.

I started on Jerboa. The instance I’m on stayed on 17.4, and Jerboa stopped working. Rather than downgrade Jerboa versions, I moved to Liftoff and couldn’t be happier.

Pair Droidify with Shizuku (also on IzzyOnDroid) and you’ve got automatic updates.

InnerTune just picked up a nice update too!

Fun fact: Ancient Egyptians used a base 12 for time (and in some other places) because we have have 12 segments on our index through pinky fingers. They used their thumbs as a placeholder or to count. That base 12 system then turned into the 24 hour clock system we use today.

This is subjective, but after distro hopping, Linux Mint XFCE requires the least amount of post install configuration for my use case and personal preferences.

Also, they show a preference for flatpack over snap but don’t lock you in/out of either.

Shut up and take my upvote.

For media streaming, what mattered most for me was client software. When I first started with Jellyfin, the Roku client wasn’t as feature rich as the Android and web. I stayed with Plex until the Roku Jellyfin clients had what I needed.

If you’re just on Android and the web, you should be fine with Jellyfin. If you’ve got a smart TV with it’s own app store, you may look at what’s there and what features are available.

It’s picked up nearly every feature I had used on Plex within the last year. The developers are doing great.

I’m always surprised at how few people seem to be aware of Amaze.

Last I read, they were planning on going to a subscription model to cover API costs.

Last I read, they were planning on moving to a subscription model.

It ain’t much…

OpenKeychain is great for keys on Android. It’s FOSS and available on FDroid. +1 for using a self hosted Nextcloud instance to keep things in sync.

I’m not surprised they got rid of it.

Link to their blog announcing it.

Oh, it is not a smooth mechanism at all. If it were, everyone would use it. Google started to develop a browser extension some years ago to make key management and encrypting easier but it was abandoned because it would inhibit their ability to do targeted advertising.

Here is a link to set up PGP on Windows.

Thunderbird has PGP built in and it’s pretty seamless once it’s set up.

PGP is great. If you learn how to use it on your own device, it doesn’t matter what host you use. If you post your OS, I’ll can point you to instructions on setting it up locally.

You’re never going to get the bulk of senders (library, town council, your aging parents) to encrypt their mail to you. Can you make peace with that?

It is important to find a host that has a funding model based on subscriptions instead of monetizing users.

My recommendation is find a host with a good subscription model and in a county that respects user privacy. I like KolabNow in Switzerland.

Start by looking at Hail and Shizuku. Both are FOSS and available to download from FDroid. Hail will allow you to freeze/disable the app. Shizuku will give you the appropriate permissions to do so.
