I actually learned of this when the Material You Home Assistant addon updated yesterday. Kudos to the dev for being extremely on the ball.

This is a good point, I actually made that mistake once! It required their app to setup.

I’m all for making tons of accounts to use Google Drive/Mega/Dropbox/etc to distribute files, even if they have crappy privacy practices, you don’t need to share any real information with them anyway

A valid phone number is needed for Google accounts

Amcrest seems to be the cheapest and I have good experience with them and Frigate

Not sure how Kagi will help with my supermarket loyalty card but thanks anyway

Good piece. I have been largely impressed with Firefox’s “AI” features. They appear to be just normal useful features they are calling “AI” for marketing.

Tried and couldn’t! Was hoping someone here could highlight something I missed but seems no.

I understand that running services costs money, and I’ve heard nothing but good things about Kagi. Can anyone here convince me it’s worth the price?

Oh that’s great to know!

I have no issue with using AI to find otherwise undiscovered security bugs. But attempting to fixing them with AI I’m not in favor of.

Also, the one feature I’ve come across (long press a link for a preview) is actually pretty useful sometimes. I’m actually impressed they discovered a use for generative AI that isn’t annoying and stupid.

Me personally I don’t have a Pixel but I looked into Graphene and I’m told banking apps don’t work and also tap to pay.

Linux works on pretty much every PC ever and every app can be installed. It would be nice to have that for phones!

End-to-end encrypted messaging protects against eavesdroppers in transit.

But if the ENDS are both compromised… I wish there were more/better custom ROMS out there. Hopefully Linux Phone gets some love.

Oh man, I suspected that was artificial! 😡

I’m wondering if you have the “cookie notices” and “annoyances” filters disabled? They are not checked by default. It’s under settings > filter lists. FWIW the page loaded cleanly for me.
