most likely yes.

My point is, if youtube customizes the feeds based on the IPs, then the youtube accounts used are not really “fresh” but there’s already some data entered into the profiles upon their creation.

fresh YouTube account

change their location to a random city in the US

yeah but you’re still bound to IP addresses. I was under the impression Youtube used those for their profiling

I still use yt-dlp to download because I don’t understand Freetube’s options. It’s either only audio or video

Also if you’re on Linux and you get a white screen during playback (has been an issue since 0.22) this fix works for me: freetube --enable-features=''

How does that work? The lab puts you in contact with people they know share your DNA?

his payrise is equivalent to something like 3000 US workers minimum wage annual salaries

if my math is correct (which it probably isn’t)

I loved xprivacy_lua

You could hide almost everything.
No app knew the other apps I used.
No app had clipboard access. when I needed to paste something I used Xposed Edge.
You could spoof a lot of info, GPS coordinates, IMEI … The list goes on.

support stopped. I should check if there’s a fork.

edit: AOSP permissions have improved and I now use almost exclusively FOSS apps, so I’m not worried, but I still miss the app.

I just received a Kagi invite from a friend.

It’s absolutely great

Let’s hope they don’t look too closely at how family plans are shared for now.
10€ + taxes a month is just too steep for me

This is what I’ve been missing the most since switching to Wayland.

I was testing again yesterday, on Fedora mainly.

lan-mouse is a bit clunky. It requires too many clicks to start on Gnome. bi-directional. Couldn’t get it to work on NixOS but I’m new to it.

Input leap can be finicky to install and set up too, depending on your system. For some reason on my setup it lags a lot, and from time to time I have to reconnect. They don’t give an easy access to builds, but you can find them. It requires to be connected with a GitHub account though.

I wish one of those search based launchers would implement a t9 keyboard for searching apps so I could replace Appdialer (which isn’t open source)

Crash on degoogled phones (dev is already aware)

FT-Sync (in beta) has just been released.
Also on the dev’s website (in French)

I think Linux only, and between desktop clients, no mention of Android.

Also manual install, but it’s not too hard.

I like how Kagi does it.
You can choose to have AI answer only when ending the search terms with a question mark

Even though the photo provided to HR was fake, the person who was interviewed for the job apparently looked enough like it to pass.

why not send an actual picture of his face?

For international flights, US citizens can opt out but foreign nationals have to participate in face scanning, [with some exceptions]

I had no idea we were already at that point.

always wanted to visit the US. I guess that won’t happen then.

I refuse to participate in this dystopia. But I’m a little worried this will make me a recluse

I bought a second hand Surface Pro 5 (2017), running Fedora gnome

I’ve started to write a review because I couldn’t really find one, and most of the comments are overly positive (as it often goes on Linux forums I’ve come to realize). It’s not done yet

But I can summarize it: as a tablet it’s not great but it mostly works. It’s certainly not for someone not ready to troubleshoot, and many problems have no, or no great solutions. Also gnome used with touch controls has a major bug (which, again, nobody ever mentions for some reason. It will be in my review)

As a 2 in 1 with little touch use it could be alright. The pen is quite good if you want to draw or write, even though there’s a small delay. The cover is okay, but you’d be better off with a quality laptop keyboard and big trackpad

I bought it mainly for reading, mostly European format comics (bandes dessinées). The resolution is great for that, and the size is good with a reader that removes white margins

Edit: to give you an idea I bought it for 190€ two months ago, with all accessories, good condition and good battery health (which does not mean battery life is good)
