My initial intent for the SteamDeck was using it on my couch or bed, as I have some serious back problems for my age, but since my girlfriend is getting into gaming, I have a sized down setup at my right, composed of;

  • A monitor
  • A 60% keyboard, and mouse
  • A dock for the SteamDeck

So she can dock it when she's at home and we can play with my main setup and her little settup together!

When she's not at home, I sometimes dock it on the living room TV and play with a Gullikit Controller (I mention it because it's quite awesome).

But honestly, the first day I got the dock, I connected two monitors to the SteamDeck and it was so great it made me switch to dualbooting on my main rig, and if/when the next SteamDeck comes out, I'll probably just sell my pc, or keep it as a home server.

I don't want Ladybird to be a Firefox killer, I don't even think Mozilla will care, I just want another competitor in the browser market, and I have faith it will at least be as good as firefox and we'll see from there

I can't wait for ladybird, firefox is going downhill because of the Mozilla Foundation

Welcome to the team!

Hello! I'm writting some guides myself, as I'd rather compile some content that I have verified and is not a copy paste from other places. Still, I'm working, slowly, but working.

You're welcome in here, we can talk on DMs

Hello there! Help is more than welcome, and since you have a good reputation on reddit I'll reach you on DMs

My comments from someone who doesn't know much about programming yet:

  • Make the "get in touch" button functional
  • The "Language" category could be named "Experience working with:" Or something more professional
  • Search for better logos for the programming languages you know, and make them smaller
  • Many elements have contrast issues, black text on very dark blue backgrounds, etc. That's very very important
  • Cursor doesn't change on top of links

Idea:

  • The landing page could contain some pictures of your best websites or more visually pleasing projects. And if this is a personal website "watchlist" and such are okay, but if it's meant to be a portfolio for companies... Keep it professional

Overall, it was still okay, but needs some polishing

I agree needing a phone number is a dealbreaker, the reasoning I've seen is:

  • It's a core dependency on Signal, and replacing it would require a major overhaul.
  • Serves as an Anti-spam feature
  • Helps with contact discovery among common users

My opinion?

  • 1st statement makes sense but maybe it's somewhat incorrect.
  • 2nd statement is true, Signal has had an increasingly amount of spam since they added "username accounts" linked to number, I can tell myself.
  • 3rd is true, I discovered two guys I knew used it and it was nice. When SMS on signal was still around, I suppose having a phone number also made more sense.

In general, signal has proved they store no data besides the phone number itself, and in court they have only been able to give phone numbers.

Now it's up to privacy oriented users like many here to think about ways of getting a burner phone number for his without their name on it.

But I still agree with your point, they could work on better or more private ways of using Signal.

Welcome to the community

I'm creating this place to achieve two things:

  • Bringing privacy to everyone's minds and making it as easy as possible.

I'm fed up with how complicated some privacy practices are, and I don't feel comfortable staying on Reddit. This community is my commitment to simplifying privacy and putting all the necessary resources at your disposal.

Why a New Community?

You might wonder, why not just join existing communities in the fediverse? I have two reasons.

  • First, I believe this instance is the best fit for my views, digital practices, and the values I want to promote.
  • Second, I want to purge unnecessary information and make everything as digestible as possible. So creating a new community from the ground up is the best choice in my opinion.

I have ADHD, and it’s been a challenge to keep up with having to go between countless websites, resources, etc.

The only way I’ve been able to overcome that with other topics, has been by creating highly curated resources for myself, and this time, I want to make that available for everyone with curated-step-by-step guides for privacy.

Community Growth Plans

For now, I’ll be driving the community myself, hoping to grow it into a niche but active space. I plan on posting 1-3 times a day (depending on my free time. Quality over quantity), and once a week, probably Fridays, I’ll share some cool resources or guides.

I want this place to maintain high quality from the start, so I’ll prioritize fewer posts with better sources. I'm also taking this as a chance to further teach myself about privacy, and everyone here is welcome to correct me, and encouraged to do so.

If you believe in this idea, I welcome you to Privacy, powered by dbzer0's instance. Thanks to db0 for making this place possible.
