Revolut, McDonald's, and Authy have banned the use of GrapheneOS.

They constantly force you to update or the app won't work. I was already having issues with Revolut on GrapheneOS so I just closed my account and switched to Wise. The Revolut app was a bloated mess anyway.

This doesn't work though because they're not analysts. The brands they see broken the most are simply the top selling or top used brands by volume. I think the most repaired washing machine is Speed Queen or something - a commercial brand that based on a nieve read of the number is constantly breaking... except those things run constantly at laundromats, so are actually super reliable!

Questions about switching from iOS to GrapheneOS
Graphene likes to push the use of user profiles (just called "users" in the OS) but I find that to be a trash experience myself. Instead, you can enable work/personal profiles right within the single user account and keep sandboxed Google Play and the apps requiring it all within the work profile. You can restrict location and other permissions for Google and don't even need to log it in for it to work. You just need the Island or Insular app to enable profiles.
The Google camera app works perfectly for great photos with the pixel hardware and last I checked it doesn't even require network access or Goodie Play - except it won't embed GPS in photos without Google.
As you can probably guess, the amount of data Google gets will really depend on your setup! I like to use NextDNS to further filter connections. (Pihole might be better but it's more effort.)
Regarding seedvault, you can have it save to a webdav location, Nextcloud, or directly on the phone. If saving on the phone you could just have SyncThing or something similar auto sync the file to another device.

Tafkars: Reddit-API proxy for Lemmy (help wanted)
@derivator wow it would be amazing if Infinity and Apollo could just plug into Lemmy using this proxy. Right now Jerboa is alright, but I'd immediately switch to Infinity.

From Europe they're actually better than the other news sites you list here. Either way, I'm using ad-blocking, DNS filtering, and I do general browsing like this in a separate browser that wipes everything on exit sooo 🤷 saves you from worrying about this stuff or even thinking about it much.

I think Geometric weather is abandoned but Breezy Weather is a newer fork that's maintained. I recommend it!

I in fact DID click the links and change the filters on the tool to test the europe sites. Try it yourself next time.
And sorry but no, the Guardian, The Verge, and AP news, etc do not provide the same products. I simply choose to accept the reality we live in and deal with it.

Been using my handheld as my secondary pc when playing heavy games on my main pc, works great

Same! When the Steam Deck was first released I also needed a new mini PC but couldn't justify buying both because I'm only an occasional gamer. Sooo I made the Deck do double duty. It has been my desktop PC for a few years now, was also a Jellyfin sever for a while, and still has a dual boot for SteamOS to keep my gaming separate and clean. It just sits on a dock next to my monitor most of the time.

Agreed! Knowing what I was getting myself into was the only reason I even bought my MacBook. One thing not mentioned in that write-up is that if you increase your swap file size to offset the limited RAM it's surprisingly quick still, I assume due to a fast nvme drive. For my use case it's perfect. I'm even able to run some LLMs using Ollama that don't otherwise work with 8gb of memory.
For Windows machines I've found the Linux experience has vastly improved over the years. It seems that most mass-market hardware is functional right out of the box.

BentoPDF is a self hostable, privacy first PDF Toolkit
I just installed this via Docker Compose and it looks good! Very similar to PDF24 but open source and more polished.
Only a couple comments - first, bentopdf/bentopdf-simple is definitely the image you want since the other has marketing for companies.
And then a tiny nitpick, but why isn't "Full Width Mode" the default? It comes disabled which displays PDFs in narrow little boxes where you can't see the full page width at a readable size.
Anyway, thank you! Very useful and super easy to setup.

I think hibernate is a missing function - I've never tried it though. Here's a good write-up on the pros/cons and potential issue depending on your use case :

I Can Spot AI Writing Instantly — Here’s How You Can Too
Reply in thread
I would argue that your "enhanced" sentence is even MORE typical of AI. The first sounds like the style of a standard news article with a little corporate-speak, while the second is straight up head-of-marketing internal memo style.
Regardless, I agree that AI-detection can't really be automated or codified. But I don't think it matters. Bad writing is bad writing.

Exactly what I'm discovering learning Spanish, coming from English. The vocabulary is much smaller in Spanish (fewer headwords), which is great at first... Until you realize that there's so much subtle meaning buried in the structure instead of the vocabulary. Like "Una simple pregunta" = a simple question", but "Una pregunta simple" could mean more like "A straightforward question". Same three words. Or the word "carga" could be used related to a battery charge, truck load, fee, burden, etc 😵💫
