Why would banking be an issue? I get that its a target, but I really would expect a bank to take care of their TLS.

Is this post about Github seemingly detecting an incorrect licence? The project was relicenced in a later commit, so I dont think this behavior is entirely wrong.

I really don't think that the command line is a uniform interface. Every command has its own syntax, its own take on what its switches mean, its own take on regexes/globs and so on. Moving and editing files is something completely different: one is a simple command to move a file elsewhere, the other is a whole experience which replaces the command line with something that looks completely different and is controlled completely differently. What they do have in common is just the medium - the terminal.

Many developers of command line tools try to at least keep a similar design language as the rest of the world, but it is far from perfect. A lot of these interfaces are like they are for mostly historical reasons without proper planning of the user interface, so imho even something like Material Design is already closer to being the "same interface" in the GUI world than the various command line interfaces are.

we can’t simply reuse the command line

We absolutely can and some of us do. I often manage my files, todo list, etc. in Termux. Its not always the best thing to do, but I like that I can keep a consistent interface no matter what device I am using. Its still the same terminal, just on a smaller screen with a worse keyboard.

And the red color on a somewhat-dark gray background with compression artifacts really does not help.

What is the format of these videos? Im afraid you wont get much compression out of conventional file compressors, as video files are usually already compressed to the point where you would have to reencode them to get a smaller file.

Which streaming service? I last used yt-dlp with the --live-from-start option on Youtube, it worked fine there.

I mean, it might compress it (Im using Eternity on lemmy.world, no clue if images get compressed on federation or if my client chooses a lower quality).

That red color cant have much better contrast on a less compressed image tho.

Ive been using Yggdrasil to connect my devices. Unfortunately this doesnt autoconnect wifi, and doesnt have an IM app built for it. It does however allow you to use pretty much anything that uses a direct IPv6 connection, so its really useful to be able to ssh into my devices nearly whenever. Lately Ive been looking at Reticulum and the LXMF protocol built on top of it. I mostly just tried the Android Sideband app, but ran into battery usage issues.

What overlay? That looks like Windows 7 with the Aero theme disabled to me.

Honestly, no. Whenever I see late notifications its usually on a degoogled phone, so this was just my first guess. Good luck!

In that case, is Google Play Services allowed to run in the background / unrestricted / whatever? It is the means to delivering notifications for most apps.

What should it do instead? I think the only reasonable action would be not showing it if the licence file was changed.

There are more reasons, as LetsEncrypt might be more restrictive on what you can get (for example, you cant get a certificate for an IP address from them). But, as 99.99% of usecases do not require anything like that, go with letsencrypt until you know of a reason not to.

Do you use Google Play Services or is that a deGoogled Android 13?

Can confirm, very easy to setup clients. And since its not a VPN but a VLAN, you wont run into problems connecting between different clients.

This is pretty much open-source Hamachi.

I’d be happy with a smartphone equivalent where the differences are similar to command line tools having different syntax.

My point was that I think we have that already. The medium is a touch screen, and apps have over time adapted to that the same way they have to the terminal. Here we scroll by swiping up and down, move between tabs by swiping to the side, etc. All held together by system-wide gesture navigation. And yea, every app does stuff differently, and so does every terminal one.

This only furthers my point, that things could be even better using the same principles, without legacy baggage.

I feel like this is exactly what Google was attempting to do with Material Design: a good, consistent interface / design language. It really was a fairly fresh start using what we learned from the smartphone apps that came before, with the design done intentionally. What do you think they missed?

Another thing to keep in mind is that the terminal is built around text and files, while the GUI is not. You cant expect every problem to be cleanly / ergonomically solve-able inside an Android app, just like you cant expect a good Snapchat / Instagram client in your terminal. There are file manager apps, there are text editors, there are todo lists, but the terminal is just a better platform for some tasks while worse for others.

Well, the fact they emit objects doesn't really help that much with the user interface. This just means that the standard input and output of commands is (usually) more unified and parse-able. I really like the idea, and have seen multiple attempts at it including PowerShell, however none have reached the level of usability that the good old *NIX shells provide.

Id love to see an open source attempt at it

Here you go!

Well, was it locked?

I so want this to be true, but dont they produce radio waves?

mautrix/telegram is a bridge between Matrix and Telegram. It mostly lets users of Matrix contact their friends who use Telegram. It is not a fork of Telegram and has nothing to do with the Telegram interface. (Note: OP wanted to use the Telegram client with a non-Telegram server. If you know of a Matrix client which looks and feels like the Telegram client, thats what theyre after.)

Likely yes. See the termux-notification-remove command from the termux-api package. (You will need the Termux:API plugin.)

The modern online versions, Curve Fever and Curve Crash are still alive!

If your use-case is monitoring packets, why not go for an app made for that, such as Wireshark?

Cant they? Sure, they would have to make up new users instead of simply saying a number, but what is actually preventing that?

Which LLM is that?

How is this relevant?

I have a built-in "PDF Viewer" app in my GrapheneOS. (app.grapheneos.pdfviewer)

Run a ssh server on the phone and rsync stuff over.

I see why automatically giving them out (like in ACME) would be a bad idea, but other than that, why not? Even https://1.1.1.1 has a DigiCert cert.

How is that an exception? Sure, it is sandboxed, but I really do not consider that "degoogled".

Im not sure how difficult it is to setup a Tailscale client, honestly.

The Zerotier setup is just installing and joining a network by an id. The Windows version has a bit of a GUI, where you have to right-click on a status bar icon, click Join network, paste in the id and join. The Linux version of the client has a cli, which is imho even better, as you can just send them a whole command to copy into the terminal.

I admin a Zerotier network for a bunch of kids that wanna play Minecraft, and they havent had many problems setting up.

There is a bunch of information on self-hosting the whole system, but Ive honestly never tried any of that. It was just nice that this was "just the open-source LogMeIn Hamachi with a superior implementation of everything".

I am on GrapheneOS, based on Android 13, on a 64-bit only CPU. It is available. You might need to download it from F-Droid, I have no clue about whether the Play Store version is downloadable, as it isnt too actively maintained.

Yea, I know, I use it myself. My point is that it is no longer degoogled once you regoogle it.

T-UI. Probably not everyones cup of tea, but its hard to go back.
