I think i’m going to stick with my 6a until they move to their own processor (that’s not exynos)

you could set up email accounts as forwarders to a single account. And on the email client add these accounts as aliases so you can reply with them. So you get a single unified view of emails as well as ability to reply with the one you want.

thanks! checking it out

Just the other day I was thinking if i could run a mini games server on a raspberry pi. All the flash games growing up in a local device would be pretty darn awesome for the kids. would this help accomplish that?

Gmail (usually with +domain@gmail.com) is where my newsletters and unimportant emails go. I think I switched when they discontinued Inbox.

This is why opensource developers get burnt out. If you don’t like it, fork it. Stop shoehorning what you want on other people’s project, especially for petty things like this.

that doesn’t stop them from uploading things in the background.

It’s almost like when companies try to build a wall, some people will try to break in, even for the sake of it, maybe the thrill of it, even if it worked for a minute.

Whatever their intentions, I’m glad they did. Apple got to strengthen their infrastructure (somewhat, users are still using it with access to a Mac), and it brought messaging interoperability conversation to congress.

People seem to forget Apple founders were doing this shit too. They build a blue box and sold it too.

I just want to turn off Stories.

is Telegram FOSS on fdroid restrictive?

It works fine for where I am but using a privacy friendly alternative is going to come with downsides, as it depends heavily on crowd sourced data.

Searching sucks big time for me too, as locations are not written in english here, you have to assume what the english transliteration might be. I just start with short close matches, and that usually works out after a little bit of digging. Google maps usually gives out most searched locations right away and often that’s you’re looking after.

We can only hope It will get better as more people start using it

• Significant battery life improvements

• Granular Internet Acess Control (Give users option to prohibit apps from connecting to data or Wi-Fi)

• Something native like KDE Connect or Your Phone from Microsoft

• Something like Samsung Dex

• Unlimited Paypal money generator

There are so many things Google could do.

This is great news. usernames next, lets goooo

They are going to announce Youtube Music Messenger app in the next I/O, aren’t they? to add to their ever growing list of messenger portfolio.

Doesn’t KDE Connect do the same and more?

Google owns it, as in Google gets the last say in what goes into mainline AOSP code. The code is open source but they decide what next Android release is going to be. You can submit a PR, they decide if it gets merged or not.

If anyone wants to make independent modifications over it, they can fork it, because the license permits it. Now the fork is not owned by Google. But Google owns the main android repository.

BSD overtake Linux or Windows in some areas

Any examples? besides the well known security, lower footprint and simplicity. genuinely curious.

it seems ridiculous to prosecute the particular crime of posession

what does this even mean? you mean with people hoarding CSAM shouldn’t be charged because they’re not distributing it?

Do people think there would be some dramatic explosion of CSAM?

Yes, this is not your local backwater town where you know there are a few visibly shitty & disgusting people and people tell their kids to stay away and everyone becomes safe. And if you think shit doesn’t explode on the internet, you might be living under a rock last 2 decades.

That’s stupid on a whole new level and your made up scenario doesn’t make it any better. No one is threatened for having been sent some questionable content. The person who sent those however might be and the tech today makes it incredibly easy to prove where anything came from since everyone is being tracked.

Seize all funds received for distributing it, throw anyone involved in producing it in prison and throw away the key,

How about we prevent such things from happening by discouraging it in the firat place? Sure, they won’t be down to 0, but your solution starting after the distribution has already started is highly disturbing.

• Adds stories (most annoying feature on a messaging app)
• Can’t disable it

our biggest update yet

Meh

There’s no moving at all. it’s just a bridge to use multiple messaging services in a single app. Everyone else you talk to stays on which ever app they want.

You have to trust the service with your data though. Some services won’t be E2EE anymore. But their bridges are opensource so, you can self host them if you want
