Yeah, I agree with that. I would never use their browser or other products but their search fits the “at least it’s not google/MS”.

I even think what the CEO is saying is correct here, Google is doing it’s best kill competition.

User agent. Google wants you to use Chrome. You can spoof the user agent in Firefox to get the same results.

They still have the disclaimer on the app in the pay store. It was added after they were called out.

The fact that they hid it in the first place is disqualifying for a privacy focused product.

You’re talking abut the search bar at the top of the first home screen right? It’s always google but it can be removed.

That should be fixed for sure, it’s annoying. Personally I use firefox anyway so I change it to the firefox search widget which uses your firefox default.

I have a phone with stock android 13, which would be the same experience as a Pixel or other stock android phone.

Here’s the process for me:

1. Tap chrome
2. Tap vertical … menu
3. Tap settings
4. Tap search engine (it’s the top option under basic settings and visible without scrolling)
5. Tap DuckDuckGo (or bing or whatever)

Definitely not 30-50 steps on a phone setup by Google. Only real complaint is it can’t be changed from the search field itself.

Their own CEO admits they are required to allow Microsoft tracking in their “privacy” browser due to the contract for search. They use Bing for search, it’s not a myth.

For non-search tracker blocking (eg in our browser), we block most third-party trackers. Unfortunately our Microsoft search syndication agreement prevents us from doing more to Microsoft-owned properties. However, we have been continually pushing and expect to be doing more soon.

No, it’s not. memes is the community we are currently in. Subscribing to memes is not “moving”.

Especially as Lemmy has even worse moderator tools than reddit (without custom tools) and the devs don’t give a shit.

Yes, it is. That’s a different planned parenthood.

Planned Parenthood delivers vital reproductive health care, sex education, and information to millions of people worldwide. Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Inc. is a registered 501©(3) nonprofit under EIN 13-1644147. Donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowable under the law.

It’s a registered 501c3. Whatever anybody’s opinions, it’s a legal charity.

It’s certainly thankless but is it a job if you don’t get paid?

Yes, you can. There are several levels of fast travel and you can use it how you prefer.

Oddly enough, it’s misleading. Planets are covered with procedural generated POIs what he meant is that the environment of most planets is barren. I wish there were actually unexplored planets that weren’t covered in POIs too.

I totally agree, I wish there were actually some barren planets without POIs.

None of those are valid arguments, especially e-waste. It’s literally the opposite, fairphone is gaslighting.

Yeah, I mostly use bluetooth with my phone but not always. Sometimes it’s not possible and you just need to use an aux cable or wired headset.

A lot of phones are still limited to USB 2.0 speeds anyway and wireless won’t be all that much slower and could potentially be faster.

Not supporting microSD annoys me a lot too. Especially on some phones that still have a dual SIM slot but don’t support microSD on one of them. It’s not even space at that point.

It’s why I’m getting a Zenfone to replace my ~6 year old phone now instead of a Fairphone. It even has a far better IP rating than the fairphone despite the “horrible” water intrusion supposedly caused by 3.5mm jacks.

Fairphones lying BS about why they removed the port convinced me to never buy one of their phones, even if I didn’t care about it.

Ok, yeah I can see that reading it again. Probably my own biases causes me to ignore that part initially. Thanks for pointing it out.
