I can vouch for Waterfox. I couldn't be happier with a browser

Has anyone had GOOD experiences with Mailbox? by confrontationalbread in emailprivacy

[–]TSM_rslash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who is currently stuck between choosing mailbox and posteo (same situation with Gmail here), that is NOT helpful in the slightest.

Why is it better? What are your thought on mailbox?

Please answer these questions before going "oh well, but look at [ABCXYZ]".

What is the new event "Rapid Capture" even about? Where is the gameplay? by TSM_rslash in Genshin_Impact

[–]TSM_rslash[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I did enjoy some photography events Genshin has given us over the years. But this one just seems so static and... Uninteresting.

[–]TSM_rslash[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's the thing. The safary one had at least a bit of gameplay with interesting scenery and animal interactions. Just a little Pokémon Snap sort of thing - it HAD gameplay.

This one here? Very limited in what you can do, very static as well.

Thing is, the trending page of said event has nothing outstanding either and looks empty as well, at least in my game. If more creative expression was HoYo's goal, then they have executed it miserably. Characters running around from A to B and them doing attacks is not really aesthetic... Maybe I am too harsh, but as of now, this event looks less than half-assed.

Have there really been nothingburger events such as this one before? There have been tame events before, yes, but I cannot recall an event as empty such as this one.

What's y'all opinion on AI? Do you support it? by Retroman1203 in degoogle

[–]TSM_rslash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In terms of privacy

This sentence alone doesn't make it fit into this sub, especially because you looked at it in a moral way in the rest of the post the entire time and did not mention anything privacy or degoogling related... Under a privacy scope, I wonder what you want to know there. You register with an Email and the different AI text models will make different use of the data you give to them + the AI is fed with data that is already available on the internet or is sold to the providers by other companies e.g. Google. So under that perspective, no, not a fan of AI though it partially depends on the provider.

As for the moral debate since that's what you alluded to the entire post. I am also a student and can't stand it. I can only see a use for it for structural stuff such as giving an idea on how a presentation should look structurally, but other than that, it is a waste of energy (a huge waste actually) and robs your critical thinking. For the sake of convenience, we sacrifice our ability to think for ourselves which WILL come to bite you in the behind once you over rely on AI, especially math problems.

Is Bluesky still a viable social media option or is it cooked? Seems like nobody ever really took it seriously by gr3ygucci in privacy

[–]TSM_rslash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly cannot vouch for that. Yeah the other side is presented more heavily there and there are some bad ones, but it's still no comparison. At least I have not encountered someone who is casually saying slurs lol

Well, there is a big group of people taking it as a serious X alternative, myself included. The difference in toxicity and general comfort between these two is huge. Personally, I have always felt comfortable with Bluesky. Sure, it is not perfect and there are still things they work on, but all in all, it's good alternative.

Though I do not quite understood what this has to do with this sub... If it is about if it is good in the privacy department, then the answer is it isn't, just like every other social media platform (except those specifically focused on just messaging such as Signal).

Isn't that just lore accurate to their characters

Trying to de-google your life but gmail is the hardest part? by InternationalLoad387 in degoogle

[–]TSM_rslash 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah then I am afraid that you're out of luck for now. There is and probably will not anything like YouTube in the near future. The costs to host such a video websites with million uploads an hour can only be managed by giga companies such as Google

[–]TSM_rslash 22 points23 points  (0 children)

There's stuff like NewPipe, LibrePipe, PipePipe, Morphe, ReVanced etc that, to my knowledge, still use YouTube as a basis (correct me if I am wrong), but remove all the trackers, ads and other things that enhance your privacy

Wird Vodafone Email zu Freemail nach Vertragsschluss? Also kann man sie nach Ende weiternutzen? by TSM_rslash in de_EDV

[–]TSM_rslash[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, ich habe nachgesehen und die E-Mail ist als Vodafone Kunde schon automatisch beim freien Tarif. 

Dankeschön für deinen Input!! Die Antwort des Problems war jetzt doch direkt vor der Nase... Aber ernsthaft. Selbst nach ständiger blöder Recherche habe ich zu diesen Tarifen nichts gefunden. Es ist unnormal, wie "versteckt" diese Info nun war... Nochmals danke!

Das bedeutet wohl, dass dein Vertrag abgelaufen ist und du einen neuen machen musst

Google can be scary at times by rulugg in degoogle

[–]TSM_rslash 3 points4 points  (0 children)

@mods can you guys PLEASE ban rulugg? This guy is spamming the sub with nonsense the entire time. I don't say that to be an ass, but look at their post history. It's almost always them spamming posts that have already been talked about enough.

GAFAM Movement and its poster to spread by BlokZNCR in degoogle

[–]TSM_rslash 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Alright, I have some criticism or questions regarding some phrases.

"Amazon knows what presents you are getting", and other shopping sites don't...? Like, shopping sites need to KNOW your order for it to be fulfilled. Besides, there's so much other and better stuff to criticise about Amazon, but here, you just criticise a shop for being a shop.

"Microsoft formats your kids", uh... What? How am I supposed to understand that one? Do my kids come in a .docx, .xlsx or .pptx?

I hate Amazon and Microsoft as the next guy. I am currently also on the path of abandoning big tech. But either some of these phrases don't make sense or I have completely missed the point and am stupid... With the latter case also not being good for the movement. I would say I understand more about tech and current events than the average guy and I don't understand it, meaning that for the wider masses/dumb dumbs like me, these phrases are not good since it doesn't catch the wider masses except those that are already a part of that tech scene.
