I use Proton but now I think if I’m gonna send mails to a Gmail anyway, there’s no much difference except for the subscription ones not being scanned. And for those sites that I have to enter an email, I use addy.io alias or Firefox relay.

Off topic but I guess it might be useful. YouTube channel RSS is https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id<channel_id>, or with gnu sed:

echo '<channel_url>' | sed 's|https://www//.youtube/.com/channel/|https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id|'

In other words, you find the median of human attractiveness greater than the mean of it.

Considering the amount of Apple devices in the wild, I guess what I talk physically to people will be mostly recorded then, not to mention that Google assistant or smth like that maybe doing the same, what a Brave New World.

I selfhosted it on my phone and laptop. Great as a replacement of ILovePDF and those CLI tools that have no common interface (I could write some functions to make one tho).

Taiwanese here. No. And many white people look just resemblant for me in my small Asian eyes.

in case I run with set -e

update_pm() {

I think it can be removed, at least for my phone, in the settings > Google or just use adb.

If they really care about users’ security, they should make Graphene OS’s GMSCompact and explicit permissions the new standard instead of restricting what apps can they use and forcing invasive system apps. And centralized censorship and requiring an account is not what makes apps secure. Source available and reproducible build is.

I think limiting from the platform is not a good option. For some teens with a horrible family (domestic violence for example), social media maybe the only shelter they could turn to. Also, those companies tend to break open web and require an account and even verification in the name of protecting child. DNS blacklist enforced by parents is probably a better option IMO.
