Why are keyboards getting smaller?
Smaller keyboards:
- Encourage you to move your hands less. Part of this is allowing your mouse to be closer, especially if you’re right handed.
- Aesthetically look cleaner and less cluttered

Why western people seldom use "please"?
We say it out loud a lot. People seem to remember to be polite when not anonymous.

yup. if you're running untrusted apps on your phone, make sure to turn off background refresh AND notifications. apps can run arbitrary code when they receive a push message. usually its so they can provide a better notification for the user, but they can collect data and phone back to the mothership too.

What are good waterproof jackets? (budget ~100-200€)
Not direct advice. But I've switched from "technical" waterproof fabrics that use DWR chemicals, to waxed fabrics. I've found that after a year of use, the technical fabrics lose their ability to repel water, and I can't get them back no matter what I do. Waxed fabrics are heavier and don't breathe as well, but you can reapply wax to get them to repel water again.

[solved - I was looking for mDNS] Is there a kde-connect like VPN?
I don’t think you need a VPN here since you’re using an already secure protocol. Sounds like you’re mostly wanting a static IP address. You can configure the local router to hand out static IPs. Local DNS works too.

Helix for a better default config. But you’ve probably already set up vim the way you like it.

Women of Lemmy, how to pleasure someone that does not enjoy any clitoris stimulation?
Reply in thread
Women who don’t know their own bodies have a tough time orgasming. Get her a toy to use by herself, or convince her to start exploring her own body.

When will we ever get the option for a custom search engine? (Safari)
you could try Safari/Webkit based Orion, which also happens to be more privacy focused as well. https://kagi.com/orion/

Are hardware security keys worth it? If so, which to pick?
In my opinion the biggest problem with hardware keys is what happens when you lose them. You have to either provision the keys yourself, putting the secret on your computer. Or you have to buy backup keys and make sure to register both with all your services. You’ll end up using your phone or password manager as a “backup.” And then that backup becomes your primary 2FA.

It looks like Duck Duck Go is down at the moment. What is your second choice for privacy respecting search?
Reply in thread
They announced a few months ago that they would partner with Brave to surface Brave search results too. The CEO of Brave is known to be homophobic. People got mad, and Kagi’s response was that they are too small to be picky, and have to focus on search quality.

[ANSWERED] Back on Linux - It's Always DNS
People mentioned Quad9, Cloudflare, Mullvad, and NextDNS already. Controld.com is also available for free with different levels of blocking. They also support DoH and DoT.

DNS Services that Allow Subzones/Subdomains?
Cloudflare supports NS records, which is what you’re looking for. Except it probably only lets you create a zone for the top level domain, so you can only delegate to other providers. AWS Route53 will let you create subdomain zones, and will let you create NS records to set up delegation.

Tailchat - The next-generation noIM Application in your own workspace
I really wanted to like Matrix, but the clients applications are trash. This looks like it has a nice client app at least.
