Io sono su Coopvoce da quattro anni e mi trovo benissimo, la rete su cui si appoggia è quella Tim quindi per mia esperienza prende praticamente dappertutto (incluse certe aree abbastanza isolate dell'entroterra ligure e del basso Piemonte dove passo spesso e dove non tutte le altre reti prendono - soprattutto quella Vodafone). Non hanno mai cambiato le condizioni dell'offerta quindi io ho quella da 30GB a 6,90€/mese, che per un periodo era stata anche più bassa per i nuovi clienti. Purtroppo vedo che quella minima adesso è da 50GB a un euro in più.

In realtà sono in parte nella tua situazione perché controllo ogni tanto quali offerte ci sono, non perché mi trovi male - tutt'altro - ma per risparmiare qualcosa visto che in media uso 7-8GB al mese. Solo che piani tariffari che costino meno e che non siano veramente quelli con un giga solo è da tempo che non ne vedo (e di preferenza mia non voglio un operatore che si appoggi alla rete WindTre, visto che è quella che ho già a casa, per un minimo di sicurezza che se non ne funziona una almeno posso usare l'altra...).

Io uso Firefox con le impostazioni di Betterfox e alcune estensioni per me indispensabili, ed esclusivamente in modalità compatta. Li avrò provati un po' tutti ma alla fine, per quanto le decisioni di Mozilla mi lascino spesso perplesso, ritorno sempre su Firefox: non mi sembra di avere vantaggi da Brave che non avrei con la mia configurazione di Firefox, mentre Vivaldi mi piaceva e per un po' l'ho usato come browser principale ma in preparazione dell'impatto del Manifest V3 sui browser Chromium, ormai un anno fa sono ritornato a FF (con Gesturefy per sostituire la navigazione gestuale, che per me è la cosa migliore in assoluto di Vivaldi).

Su Android uso Mull, mentre quando avevo ancora iOS usavo Brave perché era l'unico con cui riuscivo abbastanza a bloccare le pubblicità.

I agree, also the holding back of packages just for the sake of waiting probably doesn't make it more stable, despite what the devs say; also having 300+ packages updated at the same time might make it worse for troubleshooting in case something goes wrong.

As someone who actually started with Manjaro back in 2020 before moving to EndeavourOS after 9 months, I would say that there is indeed a steeper learning curve as you don't get for example a GUI package manager (Pamac is awful and even as a newbie I used it for maybe three days before I started to use the CLI, but a Linux beginner might want one) and the fact it is a true rolling release means you need to do some more research and maintenance, so I wouldn't call Endeavour a distro for absolute beginners, unless one is determined to learn a lot about how a computer works... but again one shouldn't probably use a rolling release then; Manjaro just tricks you to believe it is easier, but it probably is only if you don't use the AUR.

Maybe Garuda is more beginner friendly than EndeavourOS while avoiding most of the problems Manjaro has? Although I've never used it as I don't see any advantage over Endeavour, and I'm not a fan of excessive out of the box theming and Chaotic AUR enabled as default...

Wow, I've never even used Sync but from the screenshot of the Reddit app on Google Play it's one of those UIs so good that make you want to use it. I'm currently fine with the Lemmy PWA but the more feature-complete Reddit apps that get "ported" to be used with Lemmy the better, especially to ease the transition for new users.

I was an iOS user for nearly a decade but I increasingly grew tired of the walled garden and lack of customization (i.e. not being possible for me to tailor the OS closer to my needs), especially the lack of third-party stores for FOSS apps. Not to mention the fact that the App Store model actively discourages developers of these apps, so it is an ideological question at the end of the day.

Congratulations! I'm about to try to get a professional assessment, although in the particular region of Italy where I live it's a long process for adults that involves getting appointments with two doctors before going to the "Regional Autism Centre". That has discouraged me for quite some time but this sort of limbo sometimes is hard to bear and now I just want to know it for certain...

I have an HP LaserJet P1005 from 15 years ago which mostly works fine with Hplip except that every once in a while it asks me to reinstall the proprietary plugin needed. I'm taking note of how other brands seem to work better but to be honest I print so little since I digitally sign everything that once I run out of toner it's far cheaper for me to have something printed in a shop than to replace it.

The only reason I reluctantly keep my account is because of a few niche communities I lurk and sometimes comment in. And I'll add that Reddit is usable thanks to the old interface + uBlock Origin and third-party apps on mobile (and we all know what's happening next); I'd call it "alright" just as a euphemism for "not (yet) as bad as Facebook or Instagram".

The decentralized and community-driven model that essentially guarantees Lemmy being free from big corporations creating the ad-centric hellscape of centralized social media. That, and the UI is much clearer and feels lighter, even compared to Old Reddit.

I had been lurking on a few Lemmy instances for years (more or less since mid-2020 when I started getting more interested in FOSS) and with the Reddit shitshow I finally decided it was time to join, so I was already quite familiar with the concept of instances and how the Fediverse works on principle.

I'm slowly exploring more to find interesting communities to interact with, and hopefully there'll be more incoming users from Reddit creating more niche spaces.
