This is true, but depending on the phone model and processor type, there are still exploits that can bypass bfu state

Same. I was on Cachy for a few months but recently switched back to Fedora. I'm sleeping very peacefully.

I switched to NymVPN from Mullvad, and I honestly don't notice a difference in speeds or connectivity

I'm quite happy

I live in a third world country, and I get asked now and then if I'd ever move to the USA, and my answer is always

"No, if I'm going to move to a country it must be better than the one I am currently living in"

Yes for tech savvy people...

Have you seen the average person? They dont even know the difference between a hard drive and a SSD, how are you going to get them to use arch?

What is in Area 51? (sh.itjust.works)
 

What are the most likely theories for what is inside Area 51. No crazy conspiracy theories, actual grounded theories that are probable or likely.

Should I glue my SIM card tray shut? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I know it's an odd question, but where I live phones get stolen often. My phone doesn't have the option for an eSim, which is a problem because 90% of the time when a thief steals a phone they take out the SIM card immediately, meaning I wouldn't be able to remotely lock or wipe my phone.

Should I consider glueing the SIM tray shut? Or are there alternative less permanent measures I can take to keep my device secure?

Question: 3rd Party App Request (sh.itjust.works)
 

As per title, I'd like to know if there are any third party apps worth it still?

I'd ideally like a web app that scrapes the shit out of Reddit causing more harm than good. Anything like that available? (Even if it's a website that scrapes I'll be happy)

Feature Request: Mark posts as read on scroll (sh.itjust.works)
 

Apollo had this feature where you scroll past a post and it automatically marks the post as read. This is huge because it allows you to easily doom scroll without seeing the same content twice :,)

So I'm curious with the whole Ledger seed backup controversy, are Ledger devices actually safe? Should I continue to use my Ledger? I don't have much so I'm not too concerned, but I'd like to still sleep peacefully at night regardless.

My App Icon submission (sh.itjust.works)
 

I don't have any software on my phone to round corners so please excuse the square.

The fediverse is a vast and beautiful place, just like our universe. I think our app icon should go deeper and represent more than just a simple spaceship or a mouse.

What action are we taking to protect against spam? (sh.itjust.works)
 

As the title says, lemm.ee is defederating instances that are allowing thousands of spam bots to be created on them. Will we be taking similar action? What is the game plan here?

What will happen to Brave browser after the manifest change? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I've read some things online about it all but I'm not a total IT boff. Is it really true that Brave browser won't be able to block ads once the changes are made next year?

Ps. I use Firefox with uBlock but my SO and most of my clients absolutely love Brave

Looking for MotorSports recordings (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hello world, I'm looking for motorsport reruns or recordings, specifically F1 and MotoGP. I'd like to watch the entire race but not live, maybe 2 or 3 days after.

Are there any resources like this?

Unhappy with Lemmy (sh.itjust.works)

I'm really not happy with Lemmy so far. Its a great community and a cool concept, but the amount of bugs I am experiencing is really starting to put me off.

The site constantly updates / glitches, when I try click on something it moves just before I click so I end up clicking on something else. If I open a post, as soon as I go back the entire home feed is different and my sorting preferences have been reset.

As someone coming from the refinement from Apollo this really is offputting and makes me want to use Lemmy even less.

The people here are great, the federation is cool and I like how decentralized it is, but I think I'm going to log off now and I don't expect to be back anytime soon.

Ps. A functioning app I can download directly from the app store would be great. I'm not interested in progressive web apps or testflight betas, I want something that just works and is well refined.

Edit: I understand its early days, I'm not faulting devs for not being able to keep up, all I am doing here is expressing my opinion. I'm also sad about losing Apollo so that definitely adds to my disappointment quite a bit if I'm being honest.
