Yeah, if you don’t mind it possibly taking a week to download something… Really like the idea, but in practice it’s very slow for something like that, unless you got a lot of seeders for something maybe.

You can switch it to have a more Android look and feel in the appearance settings. The iOS look of Voyager mirrors what Apollo looked like, quite closely actually. The android appearance has a more unique look and feel of its own.

Yeah, Voyager really is the best interface overall. The PWA is so good, that it’s hard to even realize it’s not a native app. By far the smoothest PWA I’ve ever used.

I really wanted Eternity to work out, being that I loved (and still love thanks to Revanced patching) Infinity for Reddit. But it does seem like Eternity was too much to try and convert over.

Huh, that’s the first time I’ve heard of this. I like IPFS, but I do wish it was just a bit… Smoother to use?

That’s what I mean by a lack of a standard for markdown. There needs to be at least a core standards for stuff (like bolding and italics), that is universal across stuff. Then if a program wants to add onto it, that’s fine. But just the core parts being standardized would help a lot.

Markdown really should have more widespread support than it does. It’s just the right mix between plain text and an office document, I took my college notes with it in fact cause of how fast it was to format stuff. But as far as I know, there’s no default program on any of the (major) OS’s or Distros for viewing it.

Maybe it’s just due to a lack of standards for formatting or something, but regardless I do wish it was used and supported more.

Looks like it, it’s available as a zip in the releases along with the compiled app, but isn’t yet uploaded fully on GitHub.

8/10 map, ngl. Would play over Summit or Apocalypse any day.

I know some people won’t like this, but overall I think it is a cleaner look and also makes full use of the screen real estate available. Now it’s not like… 100% ideal from a usage standpoint, but I think it’s better than just having black bars are the top and bottom (or sides in landscape mode), as that just sorta defeats the point of an edge to edge display.

Voyager is absolutely fantastic, even as a PWA. Eternity is very competent too, especially if you are/were an Infinity for Reddit user.

Actual proper touch support, which includes a decent built-in keyboard (looking at you KDE…).

I love 2-in-1’s, but I do wish touch support would go all the way. It’s like… 70-80% there, with Gnome having a good keyboard and KDE having the better touch support overall. But it just needs to go the final stretch to make it a good experience.

I really don’t get why the Pixel lineup always gets this weird… hostility directed at it every release cycle. It’s like the Pixel line is always given an extra level of scrutiny, that makers like Samsung, OnePlus, or even Apple don’t get. There are reasons to give it scrutiny, especially on the software side, but some of the things thrown at the Pixel line (especially since the 6) just sometimes seems… petty. I’m not saying it’s without fault, I’m a Pixel 6 Pro owner after all and can definitely offer some criticisms. But a lot of the criticisms about the design of the models always seems like nitpicking, yet it becomes a big to do.

I just don’t get it, is it just the Google name that brings about higher expectations?

14/20, nicely done! I will say, I maybe would have wanted to see more AI results than just from Dall-e 3, though given I still missed 6 of the, that speaks very highly of Dall-e 3’s capabilities. But some midjourney and SDXL images would have made for a wider guessing selection too.

I mean, that’s the case for KDE too, so can’t really throw stones there.

Say what you want about Brave, but at least they are moving to their own indexing. Where as DuckDuckGo is just Bing…

Also I’d take that anti-Brave link with a grain of salt. I’ve got a hunch it’s somehow connected back to a Vivaldi dev. So I’d view it as highly untrustworthy.

Could be it’s a requirements for their payment processor, and details like that aren’t something you talk openly about freely.

Also, you will have sites that u lock will break beyond repair, so try is the correct word. I know this well from using Brave, which is even less than uBlock does, and even then some sites are still broken and requires the shields turned off. Just an unfortunate reality with today’s web.

Quite frankly no one should be using captchas at all. They are mostly pointless, and AI’s have reached the point of being able to solve them. It’s mostly just a gratis thing at this point… The illusion of trust and safety, probably for both users and providers.

Considering Purism is running a pump and dump scam with their phone, I wouldn’t grace them or their website with a single cent. There are worse things than a potential privacy issue…

It’s likely something out of their control. I imagine their payment processor either uses it, or requires the site to use it. Mostly to combat automated fraud.

You likely won’t find any site, that has online shopping, that doesn’t use some sort of way to gatekeep against this behavior, unless it’s crypto-based. And even then it likely still has something like that. Even if the site redirects to Paypal, you’re gonna face that.

Your approach simply isn’t realistic to the modern web. You can try uBlock, but blocking those connections likely will make the site ultimately not work for you.
