My Android TV has a non-default launcher with no ads, and I can sideload apps to get things like Youtube with sponsorblock baked in. Going to Apple's locked down system seems like a huge downgrade to me.

Google can shuttle network requests to any of their other apps (or play services, if that's running) via IPC, even with the network permission disabled in Gboard.

So if you're using Graphene for privacy from Google specifically, it's not safe to install things like Gboard even with the network permission disabled. Even if they don't use IPC in this way today, there's no telling what the Google-of-tomorrow will do.

Seems like you could use an escrow to defeat this and sell domain names safely and easily.

Yes, all this talk about the language used still leads us to the same frustrating outcome: customer pays for something, and at some unspecified point in the future that same thing is taken away from them. I don't care if 6 years earlier I clicked a button that said Pay vs Buy, I care that my purchase is being removed due to some backroom licensing issue.

What alternatives do people recommend that are secure and easy to use for nontechnical people with auto-backup?

vimium is my solution to the web.

There's raylib and sdl2 eggs available. Those are a great place to start.

The eggs are great. For instance I can be up and running building an SDL2 game or make a webserver quickly.

It has good emacs support with geiser-chicken.

Because it compiles down to C the FFI provides a lot of nice ergonomics beyond what I get with Chez Scheme.

Error messages are actually useful with a stacktrace. Can't overstate this.

It supports optional type definitions which reduces the number of tests I need.

The docs are adequate, though I frequently add "MIT scheme" to my search queries. I wasn't able to get chicken-doc setup in NixOS, and the docs website has gone down on me a bunch lately. I wish Chicken had complete documentation available including its eggs in an offline format, like a PDF.

Fastmail is an Australian company.

There's no reason Framework needed to be storing this much PII about me all this time including my address, IP addresses and phone number.

I just requested a full delete courtesy of GDPR and CCPA and encourage others to do the same.

Electric cars face a lot of depreciation, so you can get a really good deal on a used one. Plenty of supply, low cost, and cheap to keep running.
