Should I buy a Pixel or a Samsung?
  • Just a few examples I use on my S23:

    • Hiding the alarm and VPN icons from the status bar
    • Charging the battery to only 85%
    • Rearranging/deleting the camera mode favorite buttons (Photo, Night Mode, Video, ...)
    • Creating folders in the app drawer of the default launcher
    • Option to customize the long press of the power button (I set mine to the flashlight)
  • What's the most expensive lesson you've learned?
  • Don't invest in crypto.

  • The Best Password Managers in 2023
  • Yep, me too. Unbelievable that it was LastPass, Authy and Gmail a few years ago. What a shift for me :-).

  • Is Brave Search trustworthy?
  • I've been using Kagi for a few months now. Before that I used Brave Search. With Brave search I had to use the g! bang every few searches. Now with Kagi I have maybe used it five times in total. It has so much better search results!

  • Play Store release?
  • That would also be an extra app just to get one other app. So two apps for one :-D..

  • Play Store release?

    Is a release at the Play Store planned?

    Yeah, I could install F-Droid for just one app, but I'm not going to :-). I am currently updating the app via the Codeberg Site, but auto-updates would be nicer.

    Rufnummernmitnahme Festnetz
  • Ach, das wusste ich gar nicht, dass das funktioniert. Ich dachte, die Nummer sei irgendwie mit an die DSL-Einwahldaten gekoppelt. Da müsste ich morgen mal nachschauen, vielen Dank!

  • Rufnummernmitnahme Festnetz

    Ich habe seit Kurzem einen Glasfaser-Anschluss. Den alten DSL-Vertrag habe ich durch den neuen Glasfaser-Anbieter kündigen lassen (inkl. Rufnummernmitnahme), er läuft aber noch ca. ein Jahr - ich muss so lange auch noch nichts für den Glasfaser-Vertrag zahlen.

    Ich weiß, dass man bei einem Mobilvertrag seine Nummer schon x Tage vor Vertragsende mitnehmen kann. Aber wie ist es bei der Festnetznummer? Muss ich da bis zum Vertragsende warten? Dann würde bis dahin eine einsame Fritzbox am Telefonanschluss rumdümpeln und nichts anderes machen als als DECT-Basis zu dienen.. Oder kann man so was wie eine vorzeitige Portierung beantragen?

    Habt ihr eine Kreditkarte?
  • Habe eine Debitkarte von der DKB und zusätzlich (für den Notfall im Ausland) noch eine kostenlose "richtige" Kreditkarte von Barclays.

  • Any way to listen to music (privately?)
  • Which lossless streaming service do you consider to be better for privacy? Deezer, Tidal, ...?

  • Any way to listen to music (privately?)
  • I'm using Qobuz. Since it is a rather small service, I just hope it is more private than the "big players" like Spotify/Apple Music. But the main benefits of Qobuz are the audio quality and the (afaik) highest payment per streamed song for artists.

  • Android vs. iOS
  • Wow, I didn't know about this. I think that's a big reason for not choosing Apple..

  • Android vs. iOS
  • I was a Nexus/Pixel user for a very long time (until the Pixel 5). But there is no more small Pixel so I "had" to switch to Samsung. The Pixel 8 could be an option although it is not really high end - I'd like to stay with 3 cameras for example.

  • Android vs. iOS

    I have been an Android user for 13 years now. After using almost every Google service possible I am going down the privacy rabbit hole lately. Gmail -> Proton Mail, Chrome -> Firefox, Keep -> Notesnook, Google Search -> Kagi, ...

    I am currently using a Galaxy S23 with as few Google apps as possible (and focussing mainly on open-source apps). I am familiar with rooting (I was a CyanogenMod user back in the days), but today I want to use the phone without tinkering and problem solving. I also like to use a smartwatch and banking apps, so GrapheneOS is a no-go unfortunately.

    So it is "Stock" Android (or Samsung's Android ) vs. iOS for me. Is it better (in terms of privacy) to use an iPhone or stick with an Android phone with an system wide ad-/tracking Blocker (I use Adguard)? It seems there are more privacy-friendly/open-source apps on Android.

    Cheese? Yes or no, and what is your reason for saying so?
  • No, because a cow has to be impregnated and their baby is taken away (and either killed (male) or is also going to be a milk cow (female)) just for you having some pleasure.

  • All my hommies prefer Firefox
  • Yep, Kagi

  • What can we do to keep the web open?
  • Kagi is also really nice. But it's not free..

  • Season 1: Are there any benefits in completing the game beforehand?
  • Thanks for all your answers. I completed the story now. But I am far from finding all altars...

  • Season 1: Are there any benefits in completing the game beforehand?

    Tomorrow Season 1 will begin and I want to start with a new character then.

    I'm currently playing a Rogue at Level 50 and I am at Act V. When I play through the game before starting Season 1 with a new char, does this make a change? Can I skip the story completely after completing the game once?

    Proton Drive now Available as a Windows App!
  • What's still missing is an automatic upload function for specific folders (pictures, backups, ...) from my Android phone. Then I would consider switching from Google Drive (I'm currently using an app called DriveSync for that).

  • What is the worst movie you've ever seen?
  • Everything Everywhere All At Once.

    This movie is so bad and overhyped.

  • It's Open Source!
  • I really like the idea of open source software and use it as much as possible.

    But another "problem" is that you don't know if the compiled program you use is actually based on the open source code or if the developer merged it with some shady code no one knows about. Sure, you can compile by yourself. But who does that 😉?

  • Ex Redditors on July 1st trying to register new accounts on overloaded servers
  • Do you really think there will be a big rush on Lemmy's servers on July 1st? In my opinion most people that wanted to switch to Lemmy/boycott Reddit already did so. The rest will just use the official app or the browser website.

  • Are there any counters/graphs of Lemmy users over time?

    I would be interested in the number of (new) Lemmy users. Similar to @mastodonusercount@mastodon.social

    Are there any graphs that show users over time for all instances?
