  • I use IronFox, because it’s supposed to be a privacy-focused browser. I also liked the Kiwi browser before they got bought out by Microsoft or whatever happened to them. If a site I trust isn’t working in IronFox, I’ll use either Firefox or Firefox Nightly as an alternative. I really enjoy Hermit as well, although often I’ll forget I even have that app. It’s very useful though.

    What worries me, is all the info from those conversations actually becoming public. I haven’t fed it personal info, but I bet a lot of people do. Not only stuff you might tell it, but information fed from people you know. Friends, family, acquaintances, even enemies could say some really personal or downright false things about you to it and it could one day add that to public ChatGPT. Sounds like some sort of Black Mirror episode, but I think it could happen. Wouldn’t be surprised if intelligence agencies already have access to this data. Maybe one day cyber criminals or even potential employers will have all this data too.








  • I use Boost the most, mainly because I used the reddit version for so long and liked that. I love being able to easily block keywords, users, communities, etc. which keeps my feed tidy. I also like that if I’ve read a post already, I don’t see it again in my feed. It feels easy to find communities, as well. I’m sure most of the popular apps are just as good, but this one suits me best. I sometimes also use Jerboa with another account, just so I’m not putting my eggs in one basket. I have tried Connect, too, which also seems really good.

    Sadly, my Boost for Reddit app finally stopped working yesterday. I think someone has posted a solution somewhere, but I’m tempted to just give up on reddit now.


  • I wish I could install a good custom rom on my samsung s23u, but as I understand it, it’s not possible yet. I’ll still do the best I can. I’ve taken out as much bloatware as I can with Canta, and have been installing more Europe-friendly apps. But if WWIII did happen to go ahead against America, pretty sure my phone could still be easily bricked. Hopefully it won’t come to that.
