Is it (still) worth trying to switch my family and friends from WhatsApp to Signal? (Read all of it, please.) in c/signal@lemmy.ml

Be the change you wanna see in the world. Start by ditching WhatsApp yourself, or at least aggressively reducing your usage of it in favor of Signal. Let your friends and family know that you’re only reachable on Signal now and see what happens. You don’t have to ask them to switch; just to use Signal if they wanna contact you.

I didn’t know about Orion or Kagi search, thanks.

3rd party browsers on iOS (lemmy.ml)
 

Given that all iOS browsers have to use Webkit for rendering, are there any privacy benefits in using say Firefox or Brave on iOS over stock Safari?

Credit card round-ups to buy stocks? in c/personalfinance@lemmy.ml
[–] ayon@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Why would you wanna do that? I personally don’t shop at stores based on whether I believe their stock would do well in the future.

Nothing beats a good old spreadsheet.

Lemmy.ml has now blocked threads.net / Meta in c/meta@lemmy.ml

That’s the way to go

Twitter isn't showing tweets unless you're logged in in c/technology@lemmy.ml

That’s good news. It probably means that they’re losing users like crazy and have to resort to shady practices like this one in order to force signups.
