"Mozilla now makes most of its almost $600 million in annual revenue from promoting Chrome as the default search engine on its home page."
Proofreading FTW.

Twitter is losing daily active users. CEO Linda Yaccarino confirmed it.
I wouldn't be surprised if she'd just pulled that 225M out of her ass to not look completely clueless, as it's right in the middle of the ballpark 200-250M she mumbled about earlier.

Mullvad will shut down its privacy-focused search proxy, Leta, on November 27, 2025
Shame it never gained proper momentum, but I admit I only used it sporadically myself. Hopefully, Mullvad Browser isn't going anytime soon. Again, it's not my main browser but I do turn to it, and more often than I did to Leta.

What’s your long-term experience?
Excellent. After uninstalling it never comes back.

Recommended me a good private email provider
I've been using mailbox.org for a couple of years now (a full switch from gmail to make sure I hadn't left anything over took me about a year), and I'm very happy with the service, can wholeheartedly recommend.

Ifixit gives fairphone 5 a 10/10 on repairability and maintanence
OK specs overall but too big for me and no headphone jack, I wouldn't get one.

Choice of Compact Android Smartphone - 2024 edition
Is there an unofficial Graphene OS ROM for S23? Because if there isn't and you want to try it, the Pixel remains your only choice. Have you had a look at Zenfone (8/9/10)? When my S9 comes to its EOL, one of those will most likely be my choice. (I won't lie, I prefer to have the 3.5mm jack on my phone!)

This. You'd be surprised how much good stuff you can find on those and similar services. Once I learned about them, I practically stopped torrenting.

Which search engine should I use?
I don’t want to use Brave Search for a number of reasons.
Mind sharing? I'm curious because I switched to DDG several days ago, after a good while of using Brave. My reasons were:
Some people here mentioned Kagi and I liked it a lot when I was beta-testing it, but I will only start paying for using it when they introduce full support for Boolean operators, which most likely means never.

Linux Ubuntu Dual-booting horror
What was your starting point? Having Windows on the machine already and installing Ubuntu on top of it? (that would be commonly regarded as the 'correct' order) If not, and you can afford to scrap everything, that's what I'd go for. If yes, and it's Ubuntu that's messing up your dual boot, I'd see if Windows can be restored after removing Ubuntu, and then try a different distro (I'd go with Mint Cinnamon, it normally provides smooth install experience).

Let's talk repairability/build quality this week.
Waterproofing requirement means that glue is mandatory even with the presence of a gasket
Huh?

I've been happily dualbooting Win10/Mint for years on the very machine I'm writing from. Zero issues with boots, GRUB, no need for flatpaks, both systems work fine, both configs heavily customized.

I just distro hopped after using a distro almost a year. Is it normal?
It's normal. As is to stick to one distro for ever. It's great to have options, no?
