  • I've been meaning to try Logdy out. Thanks for the reminder!

  • What's the recommended Android browser for privacy in 2025, that is also usable for day to day tasks?.
  • Glad to hear Brave isn't awful. I haven't tried it as I'm trying to avoid Chrome entirely for now.

    I've been using IceRaven/Mull on a very old (out of support) LG phone, and I'm not sure I entirely understand the "pauses" thing? I don't see meaningful pauses when I switch tabs, other than the page reloading if it was purged from RAM. But like. That happens in Safari on iOS on a brand new phone, too, so it's not entirely an Android-specific complaint.

    Honestly, all mobile browsers are UI train-wrecks of one kind or another. For me it was this exact process of elimination to decide which I like least, and then from there deciding which inflict the fewest paper cuts. For me, FF sync (settings mostly, but also tab sets) was more important than whatever memory problems Mozilla rebrands might have. :(

  • It aint that hard, fuck wits
  • I don't follow the rules only because I don't drive at all. Otherwise, yes, you are correct, I don't follow rules which endanger my life. Just weird that way.

  • TIL: "A Boy and His Dog" (1975) was a little cult movie with BIG cultural impact. Fallout games, Mad Max, others
  • I tried, I really did. It just made me uncomfortably bored. (Which from someone who's rewatched every MST3K I could get my hands on a dozen or so times each, is saying something. :)

    I love bad movies as well. This one was too far over the line for me, I just wasn't interested in its specific brand of "meh". (Admittedly I have never read the book, and have never heard anything good about this author before, despite reading a ton of sc-fi. Maybe you need to know the author to enjoy it?)

  • It aint that hard, fuck wits
  • I love how the meme assumes everyone trusts everyone else's driving. Utopian ideals, man.

  • Christopher Nolan’s ‘Odyssey’ Will Be the First Blockbuster Shot Entirely on Imax Film Cameras
  • Great. Now if he'd invest in some sound techs, microphones, or ADR studio time, he'd be making films that might interest me...

    I can understand less than half the dialog in his works, which is pretty frustrating. If I remember correctly he's actually gone on record that this is intentional, too.

  • TIL: "A Boy and His Dog" (1975) was a little cult movie with BIG cultural impact. Fallout games, Mad Max, others
  • They made an unwatchably-bad movie based on this, too, with Don Johnson. I tried to watch it a month or so ago, and the acting, pacing, and set-work was so cringey I only made it a few minutes in before noping out. (I only skimmed the interview, but it sounds like they intended it to be bad?)

  • Looking for Android Beta Testers For My Lemmy Client
  • Indeed, I'm on Mbin, and I should've specified. I can definitely do textual feedback (matrix), I was just thinking GitHub or some other ticketing system was involved. (I can use them, too, not a big deal, I just don't have a lot of energy, so. I try to use it constructively where I can. :)

    PieFed API explosions: yiiiikes, that sounds really unfun for the time being!

  • Firefox is now officially hosted on Github!
  • Oh yeah, definitely. I'm on self-hosted forgejo, having had to migrate off gitea recently. :\

  • Looking for Android Beta Testers For My Lemmy Client
  • I'd be willing, though I'm still on Android 12, and am not a terribly heavy user. Do you have any specific requirements you're targeting? What kind of bug reports/tickets were you wanting to generate, if any?

    Edit: ah, I see in another thread it's probably "lemmy-only", which counts me out. Bummer.

  • Firefox is now officially hosted on Github!
  • Thanks, that's what I thought. I've never put anything personal in a public repo in my life for reasons just like this. Bleh.

  • Does anyone else find waiting physically exhausting?
  • I've tried off and on, myriad types and duration for over a decade, not just for my ADHD, but because I'm a seriously anxious person with some complex-af PTSD. But also because doctors kept harping on me for not "doing enough mindfulness".

    I tried a minute a day for several months after three was too much, but only made it through 30 days before I had to stop even that.

    This is especially true for people with PTSD/cPTSD/depression/AuADHD, but if meditation makes your mental health worse, don't keep doing it. Seriously. Talk to someone about it.

    For me, it makes everything worse. I feel like this is something people should know to watch out for, especially in the modern times of "mindfulness" being tossed around like it's a positive for everyone. It isn't. Some of us spend way too much time ruminating as it is, and need to spend more time working on how we think rather than how much.

  • Stop Internet Searching and Start Asking on Fediverse?
  • Same here, it'd have to be something AI-hardened, though, still.

  • Does anyone else find waiting physically exhausting?
  • A really good suggestion (which won't have the desired result for everyone).

    Personally, I find meditating makes my anxiety really bad. Like almost immediately. I wish I was joking, but I'm not, I've tried all kinds, guided, monaural, free-form...sitting with my thoughts is just really bad for my mental health, oddly.

    Every therapist and GP I've mentioned this to has laughed and said, "yeah, that's one thing they don't tell you, meditation and self-care aren't synonymous for everyone. For some it will make things much worse, especially if you try to force it. If that's the case, don't do it any more."

    For me, trying to combat the negative self-talk and bad thought patterns is so much more helpful than sitting down and forcing myself to be still when that's the last thing my body and mind want to do.

  • Firefox is now officially hosted on Github!
  • Moving to git is one thing, but doesn't going to GitHub put all their code at risk for CoPilot AI mining by Microsoft? (If one considers that a bad thing, which many don't, I guess.)

  • Does anyone else find waiting physically exhausting?
  • Oh yeah. I'm diagnosed with adhd and waiting is actually physically painful, which isn't something most people understand, I guess?

  • NSFW

  • browsing fedi in the workplace when one should be working is a wild reason to force people to cw things you don't care for. all you're doing is forcing people to always use content tags, even if they're not posting anything remotely unsafe.

  • Passkeys for Normal People
  • They just may be the future, but the header "Passkeys are one of the few security constructs that make your life easier, rather than harder", unironically in an article this long explaining them... whew. Yeah, fun to use. /s
