I recently heard the idea to donate monthly to one project of your choosing so the developers could rely on a steady income. I think that's a great way of doing it.
Would anyone post a quick guide on how to run WhatsApp l using atl?
There is some documentation on https://gitlab.com/android_translation_layer/android_translation_layer/-/blob/master/README.md and I am rather sure it's the right project, but some sort of installer would be nice. I think installing all those dependencies by hand is not a good solution in the long run. Wasn't there supposed to be a flatpack container to be downloaded somewhere?
Podcasts are a leftover from the non centralized and non-monetized internet of the past. Because is that most Podcasts are still available as rss feeds, so you should only ever get adds if they are spoken by the Podcasts hosts. Ate you taking about those? Only something like sponsorblock would help against those. I use antennapod (fdroid) on android to listen to Podcasts. Sine hosts always start their podcast with an add, but you can autoskip the first minute of a certain podcast with antennapod every time. It has a setting for that. Antenna pod itself is foss software without adds.
Here is a thorough analysis of /os's security and privacy.
Tldnr: it's alright but but grapheme, divestos or calyxos should be preferred if those are available on your device.
Problematic seems the unique device id /e os generates and sends on every update and also security updates for the integrated webview browser have been severely out of date in the past.
Fun fact: as my philosophy prof never failed to point out platonic friendship in the original Greek sense did not exclude sexual relations and related to a relationship between mentor and student, which meant they were homosexual in nature.

Fun fact: jeder Browser hat seit ca. 2009 eine alles ablehnen flag, die jeder Nutzer einfach setzen kann. Nur keine kommerzielle Webseite hält sich daran. Es handelt sich bei cookie bannern einfach um malicious compliance seitens der Webseitenbetreiber. User ärgern sich über maximal nervende Banner auf jeder Webseite und regen sich evtl. sogar über die EU-Richtlinie auf, dabei ist die Grundidee gut und richtig, nur die Umsetzung ist bösartig gegen den Nutzer ausgerichtet. Do not track means so not track - no means no.
We managed to kill off a third of the entire bug population during the last 25 years or so.
I think it's best to only buy routers supporting openwrt in the first place and switch firmware to openwrt asap. Openwrt or Opnsense or anything open source and well maintained will guarantee security updates years and years beyond the original manufactures firmware.
This is actually a rather new feature in the firefox browser unrelated to searx.
I don't know if this is common knowledge, but if you hit 3 on your keyboard after starting a youtube video, it takes you straight to one third of the video played. So the Wadsworth Constant is already integrated into Youtube and has been for years.
If you just want to talk, mumble would be a very lightweight alternative.
Do linkwarden instances federate, so that it can act as a decentralised way-back-machine?
