I've had exactly two issues that have actually affected me.

1: The screen sharing didn't show up in Zoom, when watching a lecture.

2: When looking for an apartment to rent, the integrated map on the site didn't show. Which was very unpractical as I couldn't see the location of the flat I was looking at.

Haven't had any other problems, so I wouldn't call this a slew of problems either. Both problems were solved by enabling WebGL and refreshing.

Yeah that's the other solution I was thinking of.

WebGL is a strong fingerprinting vector, and as it is not needed for 95% of the webpages I use, I'd rather keep it off. And since the last 5% is a bit annoying at times, I wanted to hear if there are good solutions out there.

Straight to the point: Is there some way to add a button or shortcut to quickly enable/disable WebGL without having to find it in settings every time?

The only issues I'm having using FF are all related to having WebGL disabled, so I find myself reactivating it relatively often. I wish there was some kind of quick way to enable it for this session only, or for this tab only. If you have any ideas, please let me know.

It's a joke about how the safety system on the car works. From another comment in this thread:

Based on what it didn't cut through, his finger should have been safe but apparently Tesla designed the thing to keep increasing the pressure if it detects resistance each time until it can close, which is absolutely baffling. I don't know of any other safety feature that turns down the safety the more it activates. The fact that it reacts to the exact same conditions differently each time should, in itself, be deeply concerning for any safety feature.

I'm currently writing a report in using Overleaf. As I'm getting the premium version for free through my Uni, I've had no problems so far. Now I'm working in a place with unstable internet and using Overleaf has become very annoying.

Are there some good FOSS alternatives out there, preferably where I can just upload my Project.zip and continue working offline? I have no need to collaborate with anyone or anything like that.

Currently I'm looking at LyX, but I'd be happy to hear about your experiences with that or other programs.

  • Proton
  • Bitwarden
  • VPN
  • Spotify

All I need as a student. I have a few open source projects that I aim to support monthly, as soon as I get my first paycheck after I'm finished with my degree, might count those as subscriptions then.

I can't say I disagree, I've long abandoned it on my PC.

But Brave has superb AdBlocking capabilities compared to every other browser for iPhone, so I'm still using it on my phone.

1: Register a new Proton account

2: Set up email forwarding from Gmail to Proton

3: Add a filter that labels all Mail incoming to Gmail with a Gmail label.

4: Whenever you feel like it, go to some of your Gmail labeled mail and change the registered mail to Proton etc.

I'd still recommend buying your own domain though, it took me less than 15 mins switching completely from Skiff to Proton, and I didn't have to reregister anything. Only when you have a costum domain you're truly serviceprovider-independent.

I tried to make a bridge to my telegram and Whatsapp account, but I didn't get it to work. Do you have any guide to follow?

[-] Clandestine@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 months ago

Well, looks like it'll be Proton for me too then, thank you.
