Very interesting development, thanks for sharing.

I'm guessing this will turn out to be wrong, like the other times they apparently detected it. Would be very cool if true though.

Just try Kagi and you'll never look back.

What an idiotic take on the issue.

I wasn't aware of earth.fm, but it sounds great. Thanks :)

I'd never actually heard of Infomaniak before your post, but they do look good.

I'm glad to see the mods have permitted your post comparing secure email options. Though it makes me wonder why my post yesterday comparing VPNs was removed. Strange. Thanks OP for making this comparison, I'm sure it will help people. I recently went through this same process of comparing secure private email providers, and decided to go with Tuta. I liked Proton, but prefer Tuta's simple interface. Mailfence's Android app doesn't work in landscape on tablets, and their customer service wasn't great, and the others I tried lacked integrated calendars or Android apps.

I don't believe so. You have to use their own app.

This news is the last straw for me, I was already starting to largely de-Google and considering a Fairphone, but this is the final push I needed to fully de-Google and move to GrapheneOS. I don't like the idea of buying a Pixel (new or used), but if that's my only option it'll have to do. I was very pleased to read GrapheneOS are in active discussion with an Android phone OEM about improving the hardwear of their future phones to be compatible with GOS. This partnership likely won't bear fruit until 2027 or later, so I'll likely need a Pixel as my frst GOS phone.

Thanks those who have responded. I guess it remains the case that nobody has yet made a stong arugment against using SurfShark, so I'll likely stick with them (at least until someon convinces me otherwise). Their are few VPNs that do everything I need, only SurfShark, Proton, Mullvad and Windscribe. I've had issues with all but SurfShark, which is why I stick with them, but because I read so much hate for that service I wanted to someone to make a reasoned argument detailing why I shoudn't use them, before I move to an alternative (likely Proton). I tried asking in Lemmy's largest Privacy sub and my post was removed without comment and I received no response from the mods when I asked, so I'm glad the mod here is more reasonable.

 

I hope this question is OK to ask?

I've seen SurfShark get a lot of hate from privacy communities both on here an Reddit, and I'm wondering what makes it so bad in people's eyes. I'm asking as I currnet user of the service who is weighing up his options as my sub will be up soon.

Thanks.

MAM Is there a better tracker for ebooks and audiobooks? Also, it seems unfair to mark them down for being nice.

 

Has anyone else had this issue and is there a fix? Thanks.

 

This is literally my favourite chapter of any audiobook. If you love the outdoors, then I challenge you to find a more life affirming, heart warming call to spend a night under the stars.

 

I love listening to audiobooks about nature, the environment, climate, hiking etc. One of my favourites is 'Roger Deakin: A BBC Nature Collection', specifically 'Cigarette on the Waveney', 'The House' and 'The Garden', as they are narrated by Roger himself and the recordings capture the environment Roger is in not just his voice.

Are there other audiobooks recorded in this way that are worth listening to?

Thanks for your help.

 

This new project from some of the folks who worked on the first 3 Elder Scrolls games looks great. It looks certain to be backed as well as it's already at 99% on Kickstarter with a couple more weeks to go.

Is there a place on the Xbox or elsewhere where I can see the sync status of my saves, or better yet, is there a option for me to choose to sync certain saves?

I ask as my latest save game is never synced when I come to use Xbox Cloud Gaming, making it utterly fuckin' useless. I even tried leaving my Xbox on for 20 minutes after saving, in the hope that if left doing nothing it would sync my saves, but nope. If I only wanted to play random old saves it would be fine, but that's hardly the point of this service I imagine.

Is this service still in beta because is doesn't work well?

For reference my Xbox and the device I'm attempting to stream on are both connected to via Wi-Fi to my 515Mb down 75Mb up broadband connection.

 

My Surfshark sub is almost up and I'm looking for my best option.

I'm so glad this little community has popped up, as looking for reviews on Reddit and elsewhere online is next to impossible, since every review is simply an ad in disguise.

I need a VPN primarily for streaming, so need it to be fast, and obviously security and privacy are key concerns too.

I've narrowed down my choices to Mullvad, Proton or sticking with Surfshark. Surfshark has been ok, but I assumed there must be better out there.

What are everyone's thoughts on the best performing service at the moment?

Thanks.

 

I'm testing LibreWolf with a view to moving to it from Chrome, but I've noticed some websites don't work, for example: https://apps.sentinel-hub.com/eo-browser/

Does anyone know why this may be?

Thanks.

 

I see the Palit Jetstream RTX 4080 is the cheapest 4080, and I'm wondering if anyone has experience of it? Have they cut corners to make it this cheap, and is it still a solid card? Thanks.

 

The new games this week are:

Techtonica (New release on Steam, July 18) Viewfinder (New release on Steam, July 18) Xenonauts 2 (New release on Steam, July 18) Embr (Steam)

No further update about the upcoming MS Studio's titles was provided.

 

When I started using Lemmy I joined Lemmy.world and downloaded several Lemmy apps, to find one I liked. After a short while, the apps seemingly became incompatible with Lemmy.world and refuse to display the communities I'd joined, or show any content on the main page of the app if I selected Subscribed rather than Local or All. I also couldn't see posts I knew to be there in some communities. Due to these issues I tried Lemmy.ml and fortunately it doesn't suffer from these problems when using the apps. What's going on? Is Lemmy.world broken?

Sorry if this is a stupid question.
