On iOS, unlike Android, Firefox doesn't come with extensions. No ads are blocked. Even if I use Safari and Adguard extension, it doesn't block YouTube ads. Brave works like a charm in this regard. I've opted out of all telemetry stuff that I could find, and btw even Firefox opts into everything by default. Any other open source browser you can suggest that blocks ads including YouTube on iOS?

Thanks to EU, you'll be able to contact these people on WhatsApp without using WhatsApp.

What's becoming mainstream these days:

Sender uses ChatGPT/Copilot/Bard to turn content summary into a big professional Email.

Receiver uses ChatGPT/Copilot/Bard to break down the big professional email into summary.

Time is saved but what a wastage of electricity (LLMs need GPU computation for faster output)!

They need to noobify that prompt further, something like "Yes, break my system!". Even Linus wouldn't fall for that (I hope)!

Rival must be open source, otherwise we're doomed to be in this situation again. Go Godot!

Rookie numbers. Between Reddit, Twitter and Lemmy, I'm at 50+ right now.

Here's why I bought the Phone (2):

  1. Didn't want to buy a Chinese smartphone because of privacy issues, shitty UI, bloatware, ads, update policies and the lack of any brand value really. I know Google isn't any better but tackling a single devil is easier than two. OnePlus, RealMe, Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, Motorola are out.

  2. Pixel with GrapheneOS looks ideal but the G2 chip has some serious thermal efficiency issues leading to poorer battery life. I've seen my friend's phone stop video recording due to overheating lol. Heat aside, it isn't even powerful enough to beat the older 8+ Gen 1, let alone competing with Apple's A-series chips. Plus, no 120Hz or LTPO.

  3. Around this budget, you'll get Samsung's A73 not their flagship S-series. Apart from the plasticky back, a snapdragon 788 processor?! No 4k 60 fps recording? Ads and bloatware?! Sorry.

  4. Went with Nothing because it checked all the right boxes for me. Good software, good build, good hardware, good update support, some party tricks. Degoogled it the old fashioned way. It's something different and a head turner. They've really managed to create that brand value somehow in such a short time. I've had 3 people ask me to check my phone in just a week.
