Most people dont care about driving. Its a tool to get you to a place.


And those should get an automatic. The person you're replying to was saying that people who actually enjoy the act of driving usually go for manuals because they're just so much more fun.


Iirc there is a captcha on sign up. Same as discord.


That 150ms is especially important if the tool is running in a loop in a bash command.


The gdpr agreement form on websites usually requires you to enable 3rd party scripts and cookies otherwise you get hit with endless popups about it. Someone should make a browser extension that automatically denies every gdpr popup.

This one aims to automatically close all such popups. It doesn't "deny" permissions, but that's what content blockers such as uMatrix are for.


Modern websites use the screen width to show you mobile vs desktop view. But before CSS had good support for responsive web design everyone had to create a separate website for mobile and put it on m.website


Been using Firefox on my desktop and its amazing. For some reason the mobile version is incredibly slow to load pages though.


Maybe a global general social network simply can't exist. Maybe the people who are not on the network are just as important as the people who are. Facebook is full of people we don't want seeing everything we post.

Reddit these days has gotten really bad these days, likely because there are just far too many people on it now.


Amp websites often don't even work for me because the site owners were unable to get it working in amp so they give you this half baked crap.


I haven't tested it but google shows a lighting bolt next to amp sites so maybe the custom amp websites dont get the bolt.


That should be easy to test, given that cloudflare hosts a top-level AMP cache. Just check if a cloudflare-cached website gets the bolt.


They do get the bolt.


I have been using only open source apps for the last year. For basic stuff like podcast streaming and IM the Foss stuff is better than the proprietary stuff. For complex things like maps and assistants its like taking a step 5 years back in the past.

OSM and is no where near as good as google maps at most things but its still perfectly usable.

The average person probably won't be happy with a purely foss phone right now but if its something you care about then it can be done fairly easily.


what podcast streamer do you use? looking for alternative.


"SoundWaves" on fdroid. I just searched podcast and downloaded the most recently updated app and it was pretty good.


thank you, appreciate the response. downloading now will try for a week and see if I like, currently use podcast addict free version.
