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

I’m curious, If I delete my account periodically, are the profile and activity like comments/votes still out there in other instances? are votes deducted? I’m not sure if this is the right question but does deleting accounts federate?

If this also affects other bacteria and germs, wouldn’t that mean people would not build up immunity to anything around them. It’s reasonable for places like airports, hotels, and public spaces and subways but not “everywhere”

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.

like Apple and Google users?

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.

if you check the posters history, seems like a guy posting his own site everywhere, with AI images. so I’d just start blocking these.

The Catholic Church has left the chat room.

P.S. Not religious, fuck em’ all

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.

Best way to use an Android is to stay as far away as you can from Google products or at least minimize it.

Protonmail, Organic Maps/Magic Earth, Signal, Firefox, Spotify, Newpipe, AntennaPod and so on.
