It’s the built-in browser for sync for Lemmy on android

That’s a pretty good idea actually

Nah desktop mothership, server star command and laptop UFO.

I feel like UFO would make more sense for laptop due to it being portable, but I get it is because the desktop is Alienware

Windows: Ad Ridden

macOS: Not Enough Freedom Apparently

Linux: Community Arguments

Every OS has issues.

That page is full of pop-ups.

Yeah I feel like that just defeats the purpose of it though, in that case just install Debian.

Yeah I am interested in Cosmic DE.

I liked the feel of Pop_OS!, the setup and configuration are great, but damned it was unappealing looks wise for me.

Mint is just green Ubuntu.

Yeah an extension is no more trustworthy than the source providing it, network level adblock which you can monitor completely is probably the correct route

Yeah however for mass adoption this is a terrible idea, there is already the extra step to choose an instance versus a regular social media that is just one link and one button.

I know for people like you and I choosing an instance isn’t that big of a deal, nor is an extra extension (though i try to use as few as possible) but for a regular user it might cause issues.

The issue with an extension ls is it requires an install, getting everyone to install one extension is a hard task.

“My reply probably isn’t helpful” - replies anyway… CONFIDENCE.

Just downloaded it, loads of features, free and doesn’t have a premium option.

I was using Pocket Casts which locks few features behind a paywall and pushes it. I don’t really like having things in the UI that are locked by a paywall, it’s fine if the app has more features and an option somewhere to pay for them but don’t clutter my general day to day use with advertising.

Does this mean you’d be able to send people text messages and call via matrix?

Honestly if I could do that I’d be happy to remove almost all other Comms methods from my devices.

What other services that are alternatives to this?

Is it possible to use this number with matrix? That’d be a perfect option for me, I don’t really want to sign up to another chat service.

Can she not use the cloud version? Surely her company provides an account for that, if not it definitely has a free version.

Not listened to Kerrang for a good many years. Well thought out post though! Lots of details.

What benefits/negatives does blue sky have in comparison to mastodon?
