Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro. Ive tried disabling battery optimisation, enabling autostart. Xiaomi phones are known to be aggressive with optimising, but every Chromium based browser is fine - Chrome, Vivaldi, Brave, and what im using now which is Privacy Browser. So I do think there's sonething about Firefox in particular

Yeah I tried that but no luck. I've seen suggesions it relates to RAM management but there's no settings available for that.

Yeah I certainly don't object to the cost, I'm happy to pay for good software. I guess I should try it to see what the benefit is, I can't tell from screenshots

Thanks for the tip! I might give that a go

Honestly, it's hard to say. I'm using it partly on principle as part of degoogling. I will say it's ahead of all the other alternatives I've tried (DDG, Qwant, Startpage, Mojeek etc).

You don't get Google suggestions and that's moslty a good thing IMO although I sometimes miss getting a currency conversion or dictionary item answered without having to visit a site. Generally the results are as good as Google but Wikipedia or something is more likely to be top rather than buried under some spammy results.

You can try 100 searches or something for free, give it a go

Yes, but none of that refutes the argument that we lack free will. The trillions of interactions leading up to an 'action' on our part can be random, determined, or some mixture - but they still 'cause' our next action, rather than our 'free will ' causing the action. If you believe in free will, you believe in a magical quality we possess which is somehow neither random (else it wouldnt be 'will') nor determined (else it wouldn't be 'free')

Oh man time for my little rant. Long time Firefox supporter and still use it on desktop, but I had to uninstall on Android. It reloads the tab every time I switch out and back to it. It just kills me. Especially since I pay for Kagi search, and it's nearly doubling my search count by reloadng all the damn time. So now I'm using Privacy Browser on Android, and it's great, bit I'd rather be on Firefox. There are threads asking for a fix from years ago and it's still a problem

I haven't tried Sync but I've tried Connect and Jerboa and I'm now on Liftoff. All have felt pretty smooth to me, Liftoff especially is about as smooth as I could imagine anything being. I've got no problem with people using Sync bit I don't get how they're having such a bad experience on other apps.

I have a raspberry pi 2, would this handle Nextcloud? Any recommendations for a hard drive to use with it please?

NetHack. With the ASCII graphics. And not because I'm hardcore, I'm actually really bad at it. And I hate the item identification mechanic. But there's something magical about this game. It feels alive, and the ASCII graphics give it a mystery that can't be matched by visual spectacles. Idk it's hard to explain, it's like a love hate relationship
