How about Lemmy.World?

Are these true Linux phones? Or are we talking Android loader/drivers then launching a Linux session? So far the only two devices i know to be true Linux phones are the Pinephone and the Librem.

I saw a couple days ago they are not even respecting subreddits that were actually private from the beginning. I saw the mod of a private breastfeeding group freaking out because they were going to make the whole thing public.

Turning off your history in Google is about as useful as using the incognito mode in Chrome. It just hides it from you, but you can be sure Google is keeping their own copy. Don't use Chrome, gmail, Google docs.... Use custom ungoogled roms (GrapheneOS, LineageOS). Switch to Linux, use privacy friendly dns, or even your own... The path to privacy is a long and arduous constant fight, full of inconveniences.

Aw crap we are going to need silly lemmy awards soon.

Wow...thanks. I had no idea this was ongoing. As someone living in Asia and seeing these issues from up close, these ring close to home. I'll be paying attention for any of these...moderations.

RISCV

This reminded me so much of this !

GrapheneOS on my Pixel 7.

What was that thing he said about a public town hall? Doesn't look all that public to me.

Nothing like this on KDE, right?

...what scandal?

Wow...I've been reading a bit about the drama involving this guy. It really seems to show that's the attitude that got him kicked out of TB in the first place. Yeah, I'm gonna steer clear of the "better" bird.

Wow, busy download... Downloading at 150KB/s, uploading at 15MB/s

While this helps... If you have any Google software, it tends to call home anyway by using hardcoded IPs into their apps. Samsung does likewise. The solution being, not only a DNS server, but also a serious firewall in the router. And, even better, a ROM you can trust, such as LineageOS.

Bitwarden.

How about Lemmy.world? Whichgroupss will they influence mostly?

You can adb disable them. Not the same as a full removal, if you wipe/reset the phone they come back, but for most purposes they're effectively gone. Do a backup first, if you remove one too many or the wrong one, and other apps might start crashing.

I always worry with Magic Earth... What's their business plan then? How are they making money?

Yup... Me too waiting on contacts.

One of them is Finamp. I think there might be more. The normal players (the official one and Findroid) also play music just fine FWIW.

I don't root my phone these days anymore. It makes a whole host of other issues with banking applications and the like, plus a nasty app might take advantage of the elevation as well. Either a full rom, or going the path of adb disabling system apps. Not pretty. Using GrapheneOS these days.

How does chrome serve you best? Just curious at this point.

Thanks. Your last sentence really makes sense. It's writing to a NAS, and sometimes the download speed is clearly higher then the NAS max write speed.

They also don't allow country/located results but then in English. Hell, English is one of the legally accepted languages of this country :(

I'm also using a brother with ink tanks. So far, very happy. I noticed it auto cleans the heads every other day around noon or so, without asking. So far really happy with its performance, although the Linux implementation for the scanner leaves to be desired, and the windows version is also hit or miss.

My question is, what happens when you try to interact with subscriptions that are located on the overloaded server? Those will still crap out, right?

Not at all. And if you don't grant it contacts permission, it will keep asking. Every. Damn. Time.

I'm glad the word is spreading, i also found out a few weeks ago through Lemmy. The only bug that drives me up the wall is when trying to delete backwards to fix a word. It eventually eats the space to the PREVIOUS word, joining them together and making an even bigger mess. It also looks like it never got an update after September :(

It's all fun and giggles until you try to use the cameras. Most recent models are not only incompatible, but unlikely to be compatible anytime soon. SP7 owner using KDE Neon for years.

Which now complains about server version outdated... In lemmy.world

It will probably go out of business declaring bankruptcy, to avoid paying any indemnification or fines for the use of emergency resources.

Hmmm random question... Any idea why I wouldn't be able to join lemmy.world/homeassistant? It's always stuck on "Pending". I tried posting...but also on pending (been like this for about 3 days now)

Theres some long convoluted explanation where cameras these days are not just a sensor, but a whole tiny ICC computer handing all the image processing, with little to no documentation. The effort required to make these work is very high, and i believe there's like a single guy working on these.

How's that working these days? From time to time I dust off mine, try it a bit, and see that while there's progress, it's way too unstable for a daily driver. PPP even more so than old PP. I'm using a Pixel 7 running Graphene these days...

That's the thing that drove me over the wall. The KEYBOARD, of all things. Requesting access to my contacts persistently.

Yeah it took them quite too long to notice that the US doesn't have any leadership (if it ever had it) regarding consumer protection in general. It took the EU really long, but it seems they're finally starting to move their legs.

I was shocked how damn simple the whole thing was. You just click a few times, and before you notice, the phone is rebooting and installing the full OS. Takes almost no time and it's all super automatized. That was the easiest "custom" OS I've ever installed.

OpenBoard has actually a working swipe-typing implementation that catches most of my typing incredibly well (and which is incredibly infuriating at the moment to correct when it doesn't... You'll get it when you use it). You need to use this other fork: Openboard
