My 2 cents: I have a similar relation with smartphones as yours.
In my case, what I fear the most is some app getting my contact list and using it to send some kind of “XXX has joined YYY service” notification to all of them. Also, I didn’t like that Google had all the data they wanted, so I ended with 2 smartphones:
AFAIK I’ve only had one incident because I trusted Telegram too much. There is always non-zero risk, but this works for me.
If you use the address bar frequently, you may be interested in JS bookmarklets with params:
Kill Sticky to “Kill off the annoying floating things blocking the website you’re trying to see.”
Notes:
FYI: I keep using it, it kind-of-works for me if I open the tab in the background and let it load (< 1min) before focusing on it. It also works if I’m not logged in (e.g.: in incognito mode).
I’ve only used on the desktop, but there is Proxigram, an alternative frontend for IG.
How long would you say it took you before getting a fundamental understanding?
I would say years, as with any complex activity.
I’m still forgetting things I learned 3 or even 4 times like how to do a for each loop.
You can forget in 2 different ways:
You will forget-1 everything which you don’t use on a daily basis. That’s what internet is for. Forgetting in the 2-nd sense is much more rare and you should do something if that’s the case.
all of it feels too advanced and I get lost on how to begin
This is a bias most of us have, you overlook how easy is for you to do things that previously were impossible and focus on how hard are the things you still don’t know how to do. And computing is so complex right now that there always be “infinite” things you don’t know.
Try showing what you know to someone who doesn’t know how to code and you will get an idea of how much you have learnt :).
Anyway, I don’t really have good advice :/, just wanted to confirm that what you feel is expected. Good luck!
Not an answer, but a warning: I’ve tried a couple of them and they may break some sites and I found very difficult to debug (probably because how many addons I have). If you notice weird things, try disabling the addon.
I just installed the recommmended Consent-O-Matic and it does work in the only website I remember was broken with other addons. Looks promising, thanks!
My not-very-helpful 2 cents: this is how it worked on reddit and kind of what expected for lemmy. But there could be a setting to change the behavior.
CommaFeed RSS Reader
Non-expert answer (those who know more, please correct): only public content is (needs to be) federated. That’s (one of the reasons) why you cannot log in with the same account on different servers. Only the server you are registered in stores your private account data (AFAIK).
On the default frontend there is a button on the home page:
https://lemmy.ml/create_community
EDIT: Some instances have restricted community creation. It works on lemm.ee (if you are logged in): https://lemm.ee/create_community
Update: The native local translation is indeed compatible with Tranquility Reader add-on. They work with both combinations of:
EDIT-2: It works
EDIT: I was wrong, as pointed below, it’s a core feature: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/website-translation
If you mean the official addon Firefox Translations (AFAIK there is no real native translation on FF, but let me know if I’m wrong), I just did a quick test and it seems to work.
I prefer Tranquility Reader add-on (no need for a 3rd party service). Firefox’ native Reader Mod is not compatible with addons, like translation ones. Tranquility Reader is a bit more configurable too, but that’s just an extra.
Photoshop on WINE can be made to work, but it’s a terribly bad solution for many reasons.
May I ask the main reasons? This is probably the most important point regarding my migration to linux and I thought that Wine would be a proper solution for Photoshop.
Thanks!
