    I used Thunder for a long time, but I have been giving Arctic a try lately and like it. I will likely give Mlem another shot after the next update. Voyager is another great one, but I have not used it for a while.

    Overall, there are a lot of great Lemmy apps and I love that most of them did not get abandoned after the initial wave from the Reddit exodus died down. I think we have more high-quality Lemmy apps than there were for Reddit.


  • Go for a prepaid provider and give out as little personal information as necessary. Avoid the major carriers directly because they need a social security number.

    That said, mobile phones are inherently not private. No matter what provider you choose, they will be able to track your location using tower triangulation. Even if you give a fake address, it would be pretty easy to identify you if you always have your phone on at home.





  • I remember reading this article a couple months ago. Here is a quote:

    This operating system is supposedly built around ads; we know how that sounds, but advertising is also prevalent in other TV software platforms including webOS and Fire TV OS. The Trade Desk emphasises a user experience that delivers “better cross-platform content discovery, personalization, subscription management, and potentially fewer (more relevant) ads,” so we hope that the importance of ads doesn’t detract from the user experience.

    If this is actually true, there is no reason to consider Sonos. Especially at the super premium price of $200-$400. That makes the Apple TV look cheap.
