May I ask how would the "Kids Online safety bill" differentiate between an underage user and adult? I'm not from the US so that's why I don't know

Wow, that sounds horrific. Glad that this was a temporary thing.

The standard version of Linux mint is with Cinnamon. Desktop environments are basically how your desktop looks. Cinnamon looks similar to Windows, and Mint is newbie friendly, so you will have no problem moving.

Do you guys have any android keyboard recommendations? Using Gboard rn, would choose to not use MS keyboard. Bonus points for multiple language support.

A lot of us understand that if you type anything in a computer it is assumed to be on the public record either easily found or through a few hoops to get it.

The problem is that nowadays your medical documentation, banking and other sensitive data is all transferred through a computer. And it should be protected and private.

And prevent trackers, the official app uses.

Don't they take search results from bing?

Edit: Correct me if I'm wrong

I was using DuckDuckGo for some time, but heard that there are better alternatives. I'm confused, because DDG is used by default in TOR browser, and other privacy respecting browsers (ex. Librewolf). Can you guys recommend any other search engine, and tell me why u recommend it?

Or, is DDG enough?

Try ReVanced it doesn't have the shorts button, and you can remove shorts from your home feed.

If you are buying a smartphone why not buy the most secure one?

[-] AlbyEvent@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

If you don't want to change anything major in your phone or go into the technical stuff, iPhone is better, but the best phone privacy-wise is a Pixel with custom (privacy oriented) ROM installed, since Pixels have the best security features among Android.

Servers cost money to upkeep. So owners of big instances could start posting, ads, pin them and ban other users posting ads or delete their posts. This is obviously almost the worst case scenario. I feel that it wouldn't happen in the near future, as Lemmy grows to become a larger platform. I haven't seen this type of ads on Reddit so is there something stopping this?

Google assistant is like Siri, Alexa, Bixby or Cortana. A AI assistant, Google includes it in almost every smartphone in some way, that they have control of.

The biggest problem is that average people are used to the tech big companies provide, and lazy so that they won't move to overall better alternatives. This means the companies don't care about consequences of their actions, because there is NONE. Looking at it from the company's perspective, why not make more money from people that won't leave the site anyways?
