Not sure if this is the right community, but I didn't see a general one. What search engine do you use? Besides Google increasingly spying on its users, the quality of its search results seems to have gotten significantly worse over the last decade. What search engine(s) do you use?
DuckDuckGo as a default with Google as fallback depending on what I'm looking for. For lemmy the default search of my instance works well enough so haven't tried external engines.
I use GrapheneOS ony phone and a Mac with the security options as optimized as possible. For most of my emailing etc, I use Tuta and Proton. There are instances however, where having a Google account is beneficial (some apps for example won't download from Aurora store in anonymous mode)....
Last time I opened a new Google account ~2019 I noticed if you did it from some countries it didn't ask for a phone number (even on a vpn). I remember Greece and Romania being two of them. It's been a while since then but it's worth a try. But you also had to receive an email within a few a hours otherwise it asked for a verification. This was all through trial and error so take it with a grain of salt of course.
I've been using VMware Player (free version) for a while now and it's been working fine. Recently I switched to Wayland and VMware's grab input behavior broke. The guest gets most keys correctly but Alt and Super are intercepted by the host. Clicking on the vm also gives me a remote desktop popup on the host prompting to allow...
If you don't need many features it's easier to quickly set up and create a vm than VirtualBox. Well until now anyway. I haven't tried the other alternatives mentioned here, they might be better in that aspect too.
Because it's something you use a lot for small things throughout the day. When you need to quickly answer a message or look at a map you shouldn't need to stop and place down everything you're holding.
On Samsung devices there is an accessibility setting that gives a smaller one-hand screen when swiping down from the bottom bar. But that just feels like a waste of space when you could just have a smaller screen.
This is probably very subjective. I'd say I use my phone one-handed about 7/10 times and I'd do it more if I could. Actually I do most things one-handed when possible but I have small hands so phones are becoming an issue. There isn't a specific reason, it's just more convenient.
Not the person you asked but I have a couple of sims by different providers that I swap between phones/sim routers when I need to make calls or use data from that carrier. Popping the sim into an old device and configuring whatever I need is super convenient.
Article seems pretty flawed. Relevance is a vague metric, and the author relies pretty heavily on data related to government site visitation, which seems subject to bias toward certain types of users....
I’ve also had problems with Firefox on mobile. For some reason it’s just very heavy on my phone, slower than chromium and has frozen android twice. I go back to it every now and then to see if it’s changed but until then there are many browsers that support ad blockers. Kiwi works great for me

Every time I search for a USB key, I end up finding the ones flashed with OS ISOs! I don't have a normal key anymore lol ( sh.itjust.works )
