They don’t have to be, as far as I understand it. I’ve installed a few websites as apps on my phone (because their app had trackers in it) and they can work really well. Examples are Bluesky and Flipboard.

An example where I agree with you is LinkedIn - installed as a web app due to trackers - but they know this, and the whole point of their app is to get you with Facebook and Microsoft trackers, so they make the web app experience miserable on purpose.

But (and correct me if I’m wrong) a PWA made by a non-surveillance capitalist could be just as good as a native app.

Valid. Except on some browsers e.g. Vivaldi you can put sites on a list that retain their cookies even when you clear the rest.

Why not a PWA?

It says “Payments are made after exchanging existing money into electronic money with the help of an Exchange service, that is, a payment service provider for Taler.”

Do they say anywhere who that payment service provider is? And are there options for who to use?

What is the relationship of fiat currency to tokens? is it €1:1 token?

We just put some of these privacy alternatives on a map: https://www.rebeltechalliance.org/stopusingbigtech.html (scroll down)

What’s missing is anything truly FOSS with no fixed country of origin, but it’s still fun to see how some of the main players spread out.

Enjoy!

Is there not a service like Bandcamp, but for movies and TV?

I want to pay for stuff, so the creators are rewarded, and then I own a copy.

Is Emby totally self hosted (like Jellyfin)? Or do they host your stuff (like Plex)?

If there was a Bandcamp for film and TV, then I would buy stuff there. DRM free.

But until then…

Oops - I thought I had put a link on it 🤦 Fixed now!

Oh… I thought it meant that those cookie banners were ‘false consent’ and therefore render the data collected to be illegal?

Please provide more info - I would like to learn more about this subject!

That is a great find. Thank you!

Oh wow, you’re right!

I wonder how they set that up? DDG has thousands of bangs but not one for Lemmy - probably because it is not at one single URL?

It would be cool if there was an operator that would force the search into Lemmy content. Are they called bangs? Like starting with !r

Totally. And that “legitimate interest” nonsense takes ages to click through 🤦

Damn, I hadn’t even thought about the environment impact! Is there any research quantifying that?

I do support them already 😊

But you’re right about this government - they just got exposed for being corrupt with big tech https://archive.is/DlUeE

Thank you! The Vivaldi team are great 😁

Great idea! Two things

• E2EE is a default in privacy by design so consider CryptPad for docs instead
• change the name. Inline Style is terrible (sorry but to a native English speaker it sounds lame). How about just Inline?

I thought that I would need Yunohost to take care of all the web hosting stuff in the back ground…? Are you saying to just push files into the VPS barebones, or into Yunohosts website app shell? (Sorry I’m new to VPS stuff).

And how would you push the files from Codeberg? what is the method?
