Yeah, they need to fix that

Mull would be perfect except for the annoyingly slow refresh rate enabled by the fingerprint resistance. It needs to just report a low refresh rate while actually using a higher one.

Working in the caddyshack. I use that all the time which makes me think you're genX too. I think maybe the fediverse skews older because we've learned from our mistakes with prior social media.

You're probably right. I'd rather do it that way too.

[–] Delusion6903@discuss.online 2 points 9 months ago

It just might. But my problem might still be that I have my entire history and cookies are deleted as they age past 28 days so anything that I only rarely return to is lost. I might have to check into exceptions.

I went thru so many apps before I settled on this one that I rarely see mentioned

A few years ago I felt the same way. I installed the Should I Answer? app and even limited calls to people in my contacts to get it under control.

I'm on a Pixel too. I'm in the USA and, at some point, Google got their act together on screening calls here. Most spam is rejected outright and the remaining ones get screened by the phone itself. I haven't had spam call in a couple of years now! And I don't have to use Should I Answer? anymore.

Covermytracks makes never Brave look better than, say Librewolf, because Brave randomizes fingerprinting info while other browsers try to thwart fingerprinting by all looking the same.

[–] Delusion6903@discuss.online 2 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I'm using Librewolf. The problem is that when cookies are deleted some sites will want to text you to "authenticate" your browser again. Your name and password alone are not enough.

It gets old doing this repeatedly. And it pisses me off that they act like they are being so secure by doing this yet they use a text instead of an authenticator app.

[–] Delusion6903@discuss.online 1 points 9 months ago

I use Librewolf on my laptop for most browsing, but I keep Google Chrome open just for Gmail, calendar, and drive. I know what you mean about losing the damn cookies making you suddenly have to get a text to authenticate again and that sucks.

When I come across those sites I usually just pull them up in Chrome instead since I keep it open anyway. They are typically not tracking sites anyway and I'm using an adblocking DNS.

Does it handle the battery usage better? I had to remove Element because it was killing my battery.

My family is all on iMessage. I told them if they didn't install Signal I wouldn't reply to their texts.

At first, whenever they texted I would just reply with something that looked automated like "This user is no longer available via text message. Please install Signal if you wish to communicate."
