Ladybird is extremely amazing project. Andreas is a good person, with great community around him. The only thing I didn’t like is the new logo - it is very meta-ish. Looks very corporative, and doesn’t really resemble browser :(

with fairphone, I am afraid of inferior build quality. Reviews tell they got old hardware and stuff. But will prolly get fairphone once I get some extra money :D

I’ve been using GrapheneOS on Pixel 7 for about 5 months now, and haven’t seen any issues. With this, bootloader is also locked, so no issues there.

Can you please share some info about why office 365 is in a dangerous spot in Germany? Very based country btw, this might be the reason why they donated 1M to GNOME project, considering it public interest project.

Kagi is doing surprizingly nice job with the search results. I was an early adopter with beta program, and can happily tell that it has been several months since last time I did the “g!”. I’m in professional plan ($10 as of now). It is so good that I forget it’s existence. It is just there and working nicely!

Or GrayJay. They have the app on f-droid too. It aggregates almost every video sharing websites. YouTube, twitch, rumble, odysee etc.

It is just an ask from the community. The app is free, you can use all the features free forever.

That being said, it is always ethical and a good choice to pay for the services you use, get value from.

Unfortunately, there are the ame stuff about Firefox too. Mozilla Foundation is such a corrupt organization with extreme shady finances.

Foundation’s main income is royalties by google: 567M per year.

Donations: 7M (which almost goes to the CEO’s bonuses)

the CEO gets 700K salary and 4.6M bonuses. Lmao.

I’d suggest, using Firefox but not donating to them.

I never understand why people prefer Vivaldi over, let’s say, Chrome. I personally use FF with hardened security, but if I had no chance, I’d rather give my data to Google, not a browser company with an unknown business model and bloat.

Vivaldi is weird, I once talked with their CEO over on Mastodon (they are active there, which is a good sign, probably), it still felt shady, sadly.
