I’ve been pretty happy with Kagi and they have a decent privacy policy: https://kagi.com/privacy

Depending on the size of the screen and the sitting distance, sometimes 1080p is more than enough.

I hit up all the tea places I could walk to last time I was in Seattle but unfortunately Ballard was a bit too far from where I was, I’ll have to keep them in mind!

Seconded, breezy weather is amazing. I’ve installed it from source with obtainium.

IIRC didn’t it start out as XBMC, a media center you put onto the original Xbox?

I’m also interested in this project. Looks like there has been some recent activity: https://www.opensourceecology.org/2024-product-release-of-seed-eco-home-4/

You should contact them about getting involved! I did see they had jobs a while back for a project.

When companies start to focus too much on growth usually they start to lose sight of their values and greed begins to take over. That said I just checked their ad policy and while they do physical ads, it’s still a pretty reasonable policy.

They still won’t be showing up on random YouTubers videos like Nord

I checked their policy, the physical ads are new

I believe they prefer Libera pay over the other options last I had checked

One of the things I liked about Mullvad was that they didn’t advertise. Has this changed recently or did they always do outdoor ads?

You can buy music without DRM on Bandcamp, and on Bandcamp Friday a larger share goes directly to the creator. It’s a great way to support your favorite artists.

As someone who is a current user and unaware of superior options but is curious, what would you recommend?

I tried out this OS last year and really loved it, until I went on a road trip and couldn’t use Android Auto. This is huge and will make GrapheneOS an extremely attractive option to privacy minded people.

Try it, you won’t regret it! I find myself not even reaching for Google anymore.

Check out the Ninja Creamie for something almost exactly like the Pacojet but much more affordable.
