i want to get started as someone who is disabled with $0 money whatsoever. and all the guides i see say to use iphone or webcams, no android

i have an android phone (brand new S26) and a webcam, a used Logitech C920 HD Pro. would either of these be okay for tracking?

it's important to note that i am largely stuck in my bed due to my disability, so i will be using one or the other (i can set up the webcam to zoom from a distance or use a cord to be up close) as well, and will be using free tools until if/when i can ever get a proper avatar

i cannot afford to get any equipment ahead of time as i do not make any money and can no longer work

thank you ❤️

title explanatory. i get the feeling 1.1.1.1 is not going to be as good as a "full" VPN a la proton or tor, but i don't actually fully know, either.

as for porkbun, i found it because i noticed it had some of the best overall prices and very good security at least for logins. but i'm curious what you guys think of it. i really don't like godaddy for obvious reasons, and i'm very unfamiliar in general with most domain registrars.

thanks so much as always!

not just viewing incognito/private windows in the same window, but having completely separate instances within the same window. like, in one tab, being logged into youtube (just as an example) on one account, and then in another tab being logged into a different account entirely.

has any browser made this possible yet?

there was an extension i used to use called sessionbox that made this possible, but that was a long time ago. so i wonder how things are now with so much more browser variety.

tagging this as helium even though titanium is now technically it's own thing (and also doesn't have a desktop browser atm?)

i want to transfer over my settings for my extentions, cookies (for search engine), and stuff. beyond that i tend to use my pw manager and clear out most of my data, so very little actually stays in titanium. i just want the stuff that does, superficial though it may be lol.

any way to do this without tossing my devices up against my PC and digging?

wanted to ask if it's possible to set up a (cloud...?) or shared(?) folder that can be accessed by both PC and cloud.

i am trying to organize all of my downloaded artwork files (among many other things) and i want them to be accessible from both my PC and mobile devices, editable (as in i can save to this folder from either device and files will show up for both), and ideally does not require an internet connection/cloud service subscription/etc. (bluetooth is fine.)

is this possible?

hi, posting on behalf of my caregiver who came to me really panicked because she was warned by someone else that she may not actually have coverage for driving clients around in her own vehicle

she has progressive, and she said that she was told by her brother-in-law that she isn't covered due to progressive—and over insurances—all considering what she's doing a "business expense". which, okay.

but the problem is that IHSS is notoriously stingy about covering anything outside of the allotted hours themselves, and she does not think there is any kind of insurance for caregivers using their own vehicles to get clients to/from appointments. as a result she is now scared out of her mind for all of her clients (myself included) if they ever get in her car, even if she is a very safe driver, because she cannot afford to pay for more insurance, and she does not have faith that IHSS will cover this kind of thing (even though they really fucking should.)

i wanted to ask if anyone else has run into this issue and to please give information/advice/etc; we're in southern california. thank you!!!

hi, i just wanted to know if this was possible!

i have a firstlast@proton.me email. i frequently have people trying to send emails to first.last@proton.me, when i do not use that/give that out to people/have never registered that.

i would assume this is technically possible by just registering that as one of the emails you can get as part of premium, however this gets a little silly after a bit when you consider how many you need to register vs only having 10 for mail plus (the lower tier):

• firstlast@proton.me
• first.last@proton.me
• firstlast@protonmail.com
• first.last@protonmail.com
• firstlast@protonmail.ch
• first.last@protonmail.ch
• firstlast@pm.me
• first.last@pm.me

so i wanted to check first if there's any options otherwise. i don't know if there's any truly affordable options for me to even try to get a domain (i am fairly poor and can't seem to find anyone willing to use my referral code lol), and even if i did, i'd have to move all of my emails over to do so. 🥲

and so i just wanted to ask and make sure before i do anything if this is indeed my only option outside of fishing for a domain in combination with the pain tiers. thank you!

i hear a lot of people say they won't stick with vivaldi despite otherwise liking/loving it due to dealbreaking bugs. i've personally never had much in the way of bugs with vivaldi, so i'm honestly very curious to hear what these actually are (and if they're popping up due to folks using vivaldi in different ways than i do, on different OSes, etc).

the only persistent bugs i continue to struggle with are:

- "Vivaldi is managed by your organization. View policies." i've tried figuring out what could be causing this, with absolutely no luck. i am on a personal computer, my account is the administrator account, and the only policy i see is google's extension policy. 🤷‍♂️ it doesn't seem to actually impact how i use the browser itself, so it's more annoying than anything, and i just wish i could make it go away. (the issue of it not letting me change my settings at the time turned out to be something else.)

- i can no longer use web panels to log into my web game, granblue fantasy, by hooking into a third party service (mobage, or mbga.jp). essentially how this works is that i go to log into gbf, and it prompts you to choose which service you use to log in with (which is the only choice you have due to archaic contracts). as i used mobage, i click mobage. it will then open a new tab in my main window, and as i am already logged in there, will confirm i am logged in. what it's supposed to do is the have a little tiny popup with my mobage username showing i'm logging in to gbf on the web panel, which it does do, but it just refreshes and never actually logs in. so i have gone back to playing the game exclusively on my phone until either gbf or vivaldi fixes the issue, but since this started with vivaldi's big 8.0 update, i'm fairly confident in saying it's vivaldi.

both of these started with vivaldi, in fact. that being said, neither are breaking my experience enough to make me want to stop using the browser; just things to report and hope they can be fixed.

i use windows 11 and vivaldi 8.1.4087.46. what bugs have you encountered, doing what and when, and was this a deal-breaker for you?

...including or defaulting to simply discussing privacy or adblocking alone.

why? because that's why so many of us are already here. most of us already know about the pros & cons between brave vs firefox, gecko vs chromium, etc.

so, instead, assuming we as users are shopping around already knowing that most if not all suggestions here will be mindful of the fact that anything that isn't chrome/edge will be a massive step up in privacy, with improvements from there based on what you choose between the many offerings...

what does your browser offer that makes it stand out against the rest, aside from just privacy & adblocking capabilities alone?

question brought to you by me wanting to see more conversations about the other aspects of browsers too, not just privacy/adblocking 24/7—we're all already here for that, we're already focused on that by getting away from chrome, why don't we talk just a bit more about other features too?

for me, i love vivaldi, even if i am very upset that they are being forced to move to mv3. it's so feature-rich and customizable, i can't imagine going to anywhere else. i even tried zen, but i just couldn't enjoy it the same way.

as i said yesterday, i got this game as a gift; i've been playing it since! i've been going through ever since, and i'm on main mission 10 (just started). i am aware that you need to do all of mable's missions (or, at least get enough points...?) to get the shiny charm, and that you have to do all of the side quests to get the "true ending"—i want to get both.

is there a certain point where i should really start buckling down and tackling these? i have been making solid progress on mable's missions just by playing, however the side quests are definitely more... well, side quests. are any of them missable if they get left until post-game? do they need to be done before the end of the main missions?

(also, as a side note, anyone know what the break points are for more customization unlocking aside from the salon stuff being behind specific side missions? 🤔 aka clothing lol)

again, no spoilers please!

thanks! ❤️ i'm having a blast!

i just got this game as a surprise gift, and so far i have very few complaints. (mostly just wish the handholding didn't last as long as it did.)

however the biggest issue i've had is that: when you're just trying to run without sprinting, the run will constantly stutter back into a walk unless i wiggle the joystick. and i'm using newer joycons, so i don't see how it could be something related to drifting...

anyone else dealt with this or found solutions for it?
