Between this and that Wired article, this feels rather coordinated against SimpleX…

+1 from me as well. I almost never have issues with Bitwarden. And when I do its usually in apps that don’t allow autofill in a normalish way. So I’m not sure thays really Google’s or Bitwarden’s fault, but the app developers…

Yeah, if you don’t mind it possibly taking a week to download something… Really like the idea, but in practice it’s very slow for something like that, unless you got a lot of seeders for something maybe.

Yeah I permanently switched to Linux in 2019 and even since then things have come a loooong way, let alone from the early 2010’s when I began experimenting with Linux. It’s sorta would to look back and see just how far things have come in 5 years.

By far the best app for Mastodon/Mastodon-like instances on Android!

Good bot!

Actually, I think there is some value there. It makes it so the fans have to step up and say “we want this game to be preserved and open sourced.” Which sorta serves as a bellwether for whether others would be willing to step up and keep it going once it is. If the fans hadn’t stepped up like that, it would have been a bit telling that there may not have been much support for it once it was OSS.

This is why we need 3, 4, or even 5 monitors at a time.

Yeah, but I’ve found that experience to be… Less than desirable. So I just manually cross-posted it here.

10/10 worth reading! He offers DRM-free versions of the ebook from his website too. SO there’s no lockin and you can read them wherever. :)

Forever young…

Omg, how have I not heard about FUTO before now? It’s so good, I can actually have proper voice input now! Gboard works fine for 95% of stuff with its internet connection cut (I use CalyxOS, so I have it disabled in the firewall), but voice input (despite it supposedly all being local processing) still needed an internet connection to function. No more!!!

This is something a lot of people aren’t gonna like hearing, but this is correct. CalyxOS (my choice as well), GrapheneOS, DivestOS, even LineageOS that you harden on your own, are gonna be more private and secure than the current class of Linux phones.

That’s not to say this will always be the case, I imagine that eventually a proper Linux-based mobile OS could be more private and secure. But for the near (and even foreseeable) future, a de-Googled, privacy and security centered Android ROM is going to be the much better choice.

Yeah, Micay tried to dox me on Reddit at one point, and sought to have me banned from multiple privacy and De-Googling subreddits too. He likes to use a lot of sock puppet accounts to attack people in packs. He actually succeeded in getting me briefly suspended from r/degoogle, because the mods there seem to have a “close” relationship with him, even giving the GOS devs a special tag to use, but only them. My crime? I brought up using a feature in CalyxOS that was also available in GOS too. The truly original and unforgivable sin it seems… Micay worked his hardest to ruin Nick Merrill’s CalyxOS, and reputation too, but to little avail outside of the GOS cult, which already had their views set. You could never mention CalyxOS there without being attacked by them. Hell, even LineageOS wasn’t spared. I’m surprised DivestOS wasn’t attacked, except they bend the knee and tell people to use GOS when they can.

While I’d love to try out those features of GOS sometimes, I won’t use it so long as the inmates run the asylum there. I’ll be sticking with CalyxOS, and if that stops being an option then I’ll just switch fully to LineageOS and harden it myself. I guess /e/OS / Murina is another option too.

You can switch it to have a more Android look and feel in the appearance settings. The iOS look of Voyager mirrors what Apollo looked like, quite closely actually. The android appearance has a more unique look and feel of its own.

Yeah, Voyager really is the best interface overall. The PWA is so good, that it’s hard to even realize it’s not a native app. By far the smoothest PWA I’ve ever used.

I really wanted Eternity to work out, being that I loved (and still love thanks to Revanced patching) Infinity for Reddit. But it does seem like Eternity was too much to try and convert over.

WebOS really was so hard ahead of its time. A card based interface, gesture-based navigation, unified and always online email and account systems. There were many things WebOS did that we take for granted now, yet they did it no less than 5 years before Android or iOS. Really it was just the Palm Pre’s hardware (I had a Palm Pre Plus) that held it back. Some aspects of it were already a bit dated, even in 2010.

It’s nice being able to love in people’s heads rent-free.

Damn, I didn’t know that!

Huh, that’s the first time I’ve heard of this. I like IPFS, but I do wish it was just a bit… Smoother to use?
