  • Them being nonprofit has nothing to do with the pursuit of marketshare. Plenty of nonprofits want to maximize marketshare. Them being nonprofit means they are mission-driven.

    And what is that mission?

    Per the Signal Foundation's website:

    Protect free expression and enable secure global communication through open source privacy technology.

  • if you run lineage or graphene on a pixel 6 or 7, what's your experience?
  • GrapheneOS is great on my Pixel 7! App load times are slower, but that is a function of its hardened security.

    To answer your question, Pixels are one of the few devices that allow relocking the bootloader on non-stock software. That in addition to the fact that they have some of the best security of all smartphones.

  • What are some things you can/should cheap out on?
  • Generics are required to be as efficacious as name brand in the US.

    I do not understand your point on encapsulation and the form of the drug. Name brands can have different encapsulations and forms within their own line. That has nothing to do with it being name brand vs. generic.

  • What are some items that really aren't worth paying the expensive version for?
  • Soap. My mom and sisters always complement my hair and skin, asking what products I use. I just use 2$ Yardley bar soap for skin and hair. I also like them because they smell nicer than other cheap brands that just have a generic detergent smell.

    Skin is waaay too individual to make recommendations. Some people can use dove bar soap on their face and never have acne or other skin problems. Others are acne prone and have to do multiple things in order to keep it under control.

  • Is this instance abandoned?

    We are still on 0.18.3, whereas lemmy.world is 0.18.5 (released at the end of September).

    Jonah's account does not seem to be active either. Is it time to jump to another instance?

    Is Proton Unlimited Worth renewing?
  • For me, yes.

    1. The VPN is decent enough. The new linux app is decent enough as well. The best privacy-respecting VPNs are $5 a month anyway.
    2. Mail is great, Calendar is solid and great for my needs. Though I would much prefer calendar integration with Thunderbird.
    3. Drive is new and underbaked, but it is improving. Once it gets a Linux client and Auto photo upload I'll be happy.
    4. Proton Pass is solid and I like having passwords and 2FA wrapped into one.

    I am also grandfathered in for the $6.60/month for 24 months plan. For that price and combination of services (And even at $8/month) it cannot be beat.

  • I want to self host. But I want it to be low effort. How should I go about it?

    I want to self host in order to run Nextcloud, Firefly III, Home Assistant, maybe Photoprism, and maybe a couple other things down the line. And I want it to be fast and with low maintenance.

    What would be the best thing for me? PikaPods? Can synology servers run those apps?

    Best (Android) app for a progressively harder ab workouts? I do not have the best abs and I want to work on my strength and endurance

    I want a program, preferably through an app, that applies the principles of progressive overload to ab routines that does not require equipment.

    What do you recommend?

    Extension that syncs a bookmark folder with a browser window?

    I have a habit of making windows for different things. For example, let's say I have three windows open. One for school, one for work, and one for leisure.

    I want all my work tabs to persist even after closing firefox. Once I close a window, all the links get saved to the bookmark folder. I would then open the folder and start with those tabs open again.

    Does anything like this exist?

    How can I compare the money saved when buying an item in bulk?

    Lets say I can buy 200 of something for $20. but for $60, I can buy 750 of them. How can I quantify the money saved as cost per unit?

    I'm getting bored of weightlifting. What should I do?

    I've been lifting consistently for about 18 months. In that time, I did 5/3/1 for Beginners and GCZLP.

    I can squat 200 5x3, bench 145 5x3. I do lower weight deadlifts because I hurt my lower back last year doing them. I avoid overhead pressing because of right shoulder impingement.

    I do accessory exercises as well.

    I find myself getting bored doing these exercises. I want to continue to build muscle and strength, but I am not sure what to do.

    I like to run but I am working through an injury so I am progressing slowly to get back to where I was a year ago.

    What do you suggest I do?

    I am using Strict Enhanced Tracking Protection. This means my timezone is set to UTC. How can I change it to my local time while preserving the other elements of tracking protection?

    Certain websites and addons follow browser default theme or timezone in order to determine whether or not to display day or night mode.

    Websites such as a Lemmy and addons like Auto Night Mode need to be able to determine my timezone so they can automatically switch between day and night at the appropriate time.

    is there a way to set my local time while making sure the rest of the privacy protections remain active?

    Thanks

    Curious about Mastodon. How should I pick a server?

    Additionally, In order to not overwhelm the largest Lemmy instances, I opted to register with a smaller one. Should I apply the same logic to mastodon.social and the other large instances?

    Thanks!
