Thanks I personally really needed this today actually! Well written and good points. Today is that kind day I need to take a step back and in a week or two ill have sorted out thoughts and have a more refreshed approach. Thanks.

From what I’ve heard the best option for deleting your data from brokers is: https://easyoptouts.com/

This is just run by two honest dudes and is considerably cheaper than the other services. The reason I like this one (though not used as I don’t live in the US, is because these guys are quite transparent about the process.) I’ve heard numerous podcasts where these guys come into the show and talk about their work. As an example they were on the Firewalls don’t stop dragon podcast. I would at least have a look at this service and compare with the rest.

Best of luck 🍀

If you’re in the position to take certificates then that’s a another way of learning a lot. At least it has worked for me. I’ve over the last half year taken RHCSA and RHCE from RedHat - though paid by work. Theses in specific are expensive, but I’m sure there are other ones that are cheaper. This would also allow you to ‘show off’ your skills in an official way should you need to, for applying for certain jobs etc…

I at least find this way to be helpful as you have to motivate yourself to learn and pass an exam to get the certificate. It might not be for everyone though.

Asus really making a name for themselves lately, not in a good way… Love that people like GamersNexus call them out for this lackluster, need more people like this.

Suit yourself.

Much smaller target audience I believe. Also SmartTube exists.

The other most used frontends are Newpipe(and it’s forks) aswell as Revanced.

What do you mean it doesnt work for longer periods of time? Been flawless for me ever since I started using it.

Does it have the new UI update that came with Thunderbird recently? Didn’t see any screenshots of the UI on their website.

All good, look forward to seeing what you have made 😊

Yeah if you know who’s behind Futo (Louis Rossman) you will know he fights very hard for better privacy across the board among other things that are better for us consumers.

Edit: Futo being the company behind this app and other privacy respective apps.

Spill the beans!

Kagi user here. This search engine is miles in front of all the other ones I’ve tried. Even has a toggle for searching for stuff within the fediverse!

Mind sharing what kinda theme you rocking?

For those of us living under a rock, what’s Gumroad?

Yeah the winter depression is no joke. Really gotta wake up early early to get the feeling of a ‘full day’ 😅

Highly highly recommend Ente Auth!
