Aren't they like 10+ years late with this? So after all this time, Mozilla comes with a minimal ad-blocker that hardly blocks anything (easylist only, and worse [1] ), compared to all other ad-blockers that have been available on iOS for many years.

I don't understand, maybe i'm missing something...

[1] "Ad Blocker won’t block every ad. Ads served directly by the site you’re visiting and ads shown in search results will still appear."

I also had to read it twice, if i understand correctly:

If i understand correctly:

1. TV is offline

2. Plug HDMI or DisplayPort into laptop

3. Windows (Update) on laptop recommends to install LG display driver

4. The LG display driver then installs all the bloat

Ah, k. It's enabled by default in the Proton Pass App.

But not in the browser extension apparently, assuming you are correct.

So this has nothing to do with the Kagi AI assistant then... it's just the model that's perceived as "good". My point is, there are cheaper ways to get access to the model, without a Kagi subscription...

They do.

In the web browser extension it's a setting called "Pass offline mode", and it's enabled by default.

It does have a local cache. It's a setting by the way called "Pass offline mode - enabled."

And it's enabled by default.

which model?

> "is the day I stop buying apple hardware and just use linux laptops again."

I bought a Linux laptop 1 or 2 years ago (after many years of using Macbooks), and was very surprised how well Linux works nowadays.

As a matter of fact, in many areas Linux is even better than macOS. There's so many annoying bugs in macOS that interrupt your workflow on a daily basis. So, my Linux laptop is a lot more stable too.

Would definitely recommend giving Linux a try (Unless maybe if you have very little "tech" knowledge. I would not recommend it to everyone and their grandmother just yet, since they probably aren't aware of the consequences and howto migrate things.)

(for reference: EndeavourOS, KDE)

Unfortunately, Firefox on iOS still can't automatically clear cookies and cache for all websites except those specifically excluded. Which obviously is a big privacy issue in regards to being tracked.

Brave on iOS for example implemented this 2 years ago:

"Auto Shred lets you automatically delete data for specific sites [...] You can configure Auto Shred to happen when all tabs for a site are closed, or on browser restart. Auto Shredding on Site Tabs Closed means that whenever you close the last tab for a site, Brave will automatically Shred that site’s data."

Fyi, https://hcker.news/ has an "AI" filter... and RSS feeds too.

I also live in Europe, and can use my bank in a webbrowser.

I used their App previously, and can just switch back to using the website, after authenticating via both sms and e-mail.

I get the impression many of the commenters either don’t know what the AUR is, or have no idea how it works (the AUR guidelines are on top of the front page…)

The latter might be a problem caused by hosting it on the archlinux.org domain: it creates a *feeling* of trust, for the uninitiated.

People complaining about the menus and UI to not be intuitive made me chuckle...

I remember a long time ago, the thing that frustrated me most was that some options are not *visible* when you're in the "file manager" versus inside the "reader" (while reading a book) - and the other way around.

That's so confusing. Would be much better if these options would be *disabled* instead of being *invisible*...

> “ I literally endure calibre because that's how I feed koreader. Any alternatives?”

- Syncthing plugin for Koreader (for syncing your ebooks with a computer / phone / tablet)

- RSS feeds for newsfeeds

So if i understand correctly, there's no webpage to sign this initiative yet?

A better strategy would probably be to stick with the previous *major* release, but, do install its ("minor") security updates...

Yep, i do the same thing. The trick is to increase the barrier to entry.

For the same reason, i don't install ANY apps on my smartphone and tablet, like social apps and news apps. If you have to grab your laptop to check them, it takes way more effort.

And, if you really need to access something "urgently", you can always use the web browser (which is annoying) where i always use Private Mode (no easy logging in.)

Interesting. Curious, what features exactly?

Is it to download the Pebble mobile app?

Sure!

However, i also want the availability of my photos to be reliable, just like e-mail. It always has to work, wherever i am.

When i'm on the road, and there's some random issue due to power outage, database corruption, or whatever else, i don't want to have to wait until i get back home and make the time to fix things.

On the other hand, when i'm self hosting something like an RSS reader or Jellyfin to stream videos, it's less of an issue. That can wait a few days or weeks until i can fix it.

Thank you for the tip! Luckily there are some useful and thoughtful commenters on HN too, other than all the downvotes and negativity :-)

Apparently HN does not like "not self hosting" and/or "e2e encryption" ?

Meanwhile, i also found https://zeitkapsl.eu/

I don't want yet another self hosted service to manage (update, backups, possible hardware failures, energy costs, ups, etc.).

Unfortunately Immich is not end-to-end encrypted. If that would have be the case i'd use https://pixelunion.eu/

Seems like a great app though. So... i'm still pondering what to do :-)
