Is CalyxVPN reputable? in c/privacyguides@lemmy.one

[–] Star@sopuli.xyz 3 points 5 months ago

I already use proton on PC, I needed one for mobile as well hence Calyx caught my eye.

(ProtonVPN's free plan is limited to one device at a time, that's why)

Is CalyxVPN reputable? (sopuli.xyz)

I came across CalyxVPN while browsing through F-droid, it seems to be offered by the same people who make CalyxOS. I couldn't find much discourse about it online, is it reputable enough to use?

My use case would be to hide whatever I do online from my ISP (I'm not torrenting, just browsing).

And yes, I know free VPNs are untrustworthy in most cases but this seems to come from a somewhat privacy respecting background so I was curious.

I use Ecosia, it plants trees with the profits from its ad revenue! Results are sourced from Bing and Google.

I found this support forum post but the solution provided doesn't work.

Edit (thanks to @moreeni@lemm.ee for the Stack Exchange link):

Solution - Go to Settings -> Home -> Enable Shortcuts -> Go to a new tab -> Google will be pinned by default, hover over the Google icon -> Click on the 3 dots menu -> Unpin

I used an original iPod in 2024, and it was pretty fun in c/technology

[–] Star@sopuli.xyz 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (3 children)

I'm sorry if I sound naive but what's wrong with using a mobile?

I thought people use traditional music players like iPod and Tangara only because of their retro feel, is there something else to it?

Just FYI, in India the president (head of the state) is more or less a ceremonial figure. It's the prime minister (head of the government) that you're probably talking about.

A good, privacy respecting and FOSS PDF viewer for Android? (sopuli.xyz)

submitted 9 months ago by Star@sopuli.xyz to c/privacy@lemmy.ml

8 comments fedilink

Currently, I'm just using the default 'Drive PDF Viewer' on my Android devices, would love to switch to something FOSS and non-google. Any good recommendations?

If it's available on F-Droid, that would be preferable.

Can I follow Mastodon accounts from my Lemmy account? (sopuli.xyz)

We can follow lemmy accounts from Mastodon but I was wondering if we can do it the other way round?

I tried searching the username of some Masodon accounts into the search bar on Lemmy and nothing came up but when I search up the username of any Lemmy account, they do show up.

So, I'm guessing it's not yet possible?
