  • the big companies, technological or not, always do the same thing... they launch a good product, very cheap (or free). When they already have a big market, they start cutting back. In the case of food, they raise prices, cut products, slightly change the taste... In the case of technology, they raise prices, cut the product, eliminate features....

    That a company like Google, dedicated to data, has its own browser and pays to include it as standard in cell phones, it is clear that it is not going to stand still when an addon for its browser blocks part of its business...In this case, very few will switch browsers. That means changing habits. Already did with Google Photos.... . Tiene miles de millones de fotos y vídeos de menores, de fiestas, íntimas... Ofrece espacio gratuíto y después, le pagas por ello, porque tienes tu vida ahí.... Or with Google Maps. It's a great service, but it knows where you go, what for, your schedules... a brutal security problem...or with email.... it reads everything. Because otherwise it will add you to the calendar when you take a flight without having opened the confirmation email...

    I've never stopped using Firefox. Google pays it too, but it's the only one that's independent. And then there's Waterfox, Librewolf, PaleMoon... Run away from Google... there are alternatives.

    I have been using password gestoires for a long time. First LastPass, until I switched to GNU/linux and discovered Keepass and then KeepassXC.... For me they are indispensable. That's the one I used until about 1 year ago when I started having problems with the Firefox addon. It did not recognize the pages. I tried ProtonPass and I like it, but I don't like having them online, no matter how secure the site is. I've tried going back to KeepassXC, locally, but the file I export from ProtonPass won't load in KeepassXC. I feel stuck.

  • Unfortunately, reddit has been too long and entrenched in society to "remove" it from our browsers. It is very different from Twitter or another social network. Lemmy is a great project. I hope it works and establishes itself as a real alternative, but it still has a long way to go. Unfortunately, the Reddit/Lemmy format is resource intensive, and that's the problem with a service like this.

    It's my simple opinion. I support any fediverso project, but reddit, today I think it is irreplaceable.


  • I use KeepassXC for years, but lately I'm having problems connecting it. I use it only offline and the Firefox plugin doesn't work very well. It has many options, too many in my opinion. I don't like having my passwords in a company's cloud. The selfhosting is the solution, but i dont have to know

    I will also leave whatsapp. It's true that I hardly use it. In my case I use Telegram. Why to Signal? Telegram is much more widespread than Signal. I understand that Telegram is not 100% secure, but neither is Signal when you need a phone number. That is the first rule.
