You don't need a mouse for a server. Just SSH into it, duh.

Well, if it could think outside the box every once in a while, that would be great y'know.

"Bricked" in the title feels a bit of a clickbait. In my interpretation if something is bricked, it won't just start working again after a few hours.

RIP my precious HTC Desire...

I feel like their goal is more close to providing a privacy-minded alternative to Google's G-suite to "regular" users, so for me it totally makes sense. But yeah, I'm also really waiting for the Linux drive app.

I have my navigation buttons turned off for years now, so I couldn't disagree more.

I feel like OP did the right thing by heart, and this story would have had a different ending in a country with different gun laws and history of gun violence. Also if the case really is OP was let go to show others that they should not engage in this "reckless behaviour" I feel it at least it should have been communicated as such when fired.

Not for me. Before Plex I was browsing folders on my TV and I actually had to organize everything, plus find and download matching subtitles. It sucked so much.

I got into self hosting because of Plex and ran it on a 2015 Shield (both the server and the player) for ~8 years. Just moved the server to another machine this year. Still happy premium user.

Not the solution you looking for as I feel, but I leave it here for others to discover: With a home server and proper technical knowledge you can use WhatsApp via Matrix: https://matrix.org/ecosystem/bridges/whatsapp/

This is something I discovered way before, when I was trying to ditch Facebook Messenger. I felt like there's absolutely no chance to convince everyone around me to use Signal, so even not having the app on the phone looked like an OK option.

I've already read like 10 of these before, so I'm kind of confident saying that most people would recommend Mullvad as the best and most secure/private, and some of them would also add ProtonVPN. I'm using Proton here and there, no issues, would recommend.

As others already stated there are solutions already to pin apps and to be honest, I feel I would not give the phone to a policeman like that.

On the other hand, what I'm more concerned about is giving the access to my phone's data through different permissions to my government.

For example this is the list of permissions for the Hungarian government app: https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/...

300 searches/month feels tight for my use case. How do you manage? Are you using something else for search?

I'm using DDG and I'm ok with it, every one out two time a month I check Google results for some topic, and DDG seems to do well.

For me it would help if there would be an option for me to see the at least the reason why the call is being made and also an estimated time of the call.

And with work related calls, it kind of makes me insecure to not know the topic beforehand. I don't want to blob out some half information. Write it in email, I'll see for it and get back to you.

This is the first time I'm exploring this, but I think you're wrong.

On Mastodon you can:

• Control who's following you (also block)
• Set your post to appear only to your followers (link)

So post visibility is not something you set per profile, but per post. But you have an effective tool to decide who you let in AND remove on the way.

You can set up the auto forward to an alias, so Gmail wouldn't even see your original address.

The Long Dark

So great to meet another PCU fanatic here. Really serious research by AdamEatsAss, job well done.

None of these feel like essential feature for me, I'll be still more happy using a custom ROM.

As a Hungarian, I would never think about Orbán and co as useful. Idiots? For sure ✅

That's one way. Or you can contribute code, help others in the forum, file bug reports... OR if you're the lazy one like me you can actually give them money.

Don't like subscriptions? Ok by me, but please don't think that complete teams will be working on great and secure software for free. That's not something that can be maintained for a long time.

If you like something, contribute to it.

I'm not familiar with such solutions, but I wouldn't get your hopes high, as Google Docs is not a collection of publicly available files (like YouTube), rather files closed behind different accesses.

Based on this, depending on how a file is shared with you, you could be asked to authenticate yourself somehow. Without the deeper understanding of your situation, I can only think of one solution: downloading these files with manipulating the links, like this for example (if they are public): https://stackoverflow.com/...

If they are not public, I think you still have the chance to do this, but I can't see any steps around authenticating with Google in their own site. And then download the file.
