Foot is the fastest and I use it as default. Second is Kitty because it uses GPU acceleration.

I agree that F-Droid is great!

What I usually do is to buy the pro version on Google Play and install it later on F-Droid.

On the other hand I don’t see anything wrong for non tech people to install FOSS apps from the Play Store. The apps are still FOSS

Startet using Linux in 1999. Then I did a lot of distro hopping:

  • Redhat
  • Suse Linux
  • Gentoo
  • Sabayon Linux
  • Debian
  • Kdenlive
  • Arch
  • Ubuntu Studio
  • Fedora
  • Fedora Silverblue
  • since 2017 NixOS

NixOS feels very contemporary and will stay a while. It is very advanced and usable in many diverse environments. In the past I did learn a lot installing and maintaining Debian and Arch – which has a great community.

Ich wünschte, die grüne Jugend hätte was zu sagen.

Im Ernst: Die Schlagzeile ist mir zu reißerisch und unterstützt das Bilden von Vorurteilen.

According to Mozilla setting both to the value 1 is the better idea. The fallback then won’t be “Accept all”.

I always wondered why Google took this choice. With the help of this article I understand now.

RSS ist still not dead but many commercial websites and platforms are not interested in this because it is harder to monetize.

Although the advantages are obvious. An RSS feed is much more accessible in many ways. It is most times better readable, sortable, offline savable and more efficient to get. What is even better for the environment because a with scripts and external content overloaded web page has a much higher carbon fingerprint.

Google Reader died and so ATOM/RSS will because the lack of commercial success.
