@Deykun @opensource is also the same. Kbin desperately needs a way to stop new accounts from posting threads.

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.

ya, firefox really needed a customizable fork. I like my tabs on the sidebar and all the extensions didn't make the experience feel native.

Hopefully this project brings more people to Firefox.

According to the article, the content stays, just cannot add more notes or notebooks. I followed the link to Evernote FAQ, and it says:

In keeping with Evernote’s 3 Laws of Data Protection, and to ensure that all users retain full ownership of their data, any Free user who currently has more than fifty notes and one notebook will still be able to view, edit, export, share, and delete existing notes and notebooks.

just heard of notesnook. are you using the self-hosted version or their free plan? is it self-hostable?

I absolutely love them. 🤤

Google having a giant hole in their system while they try to automate everything, while telling everyone else not to.

I just want to turn off Stories.

The Catholic Church has left the chat room.

P.S. Not religious, fuck em' all

is Telegram FOSS on fdroid restrictive?

I just use it for checking the microblog these days. nothing else really happening.

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

With the anti-trust trial going on, I think this may be an attempt to get some hype to drown out some of the bad allegations. Like last week they were called out for changing search queries. I hope they follow through but i'm not sure.

• 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

Long Live Mozilla Firefox!

I'd like one too if you have a spare

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.

dudes a redditor. getting enraged is a default setting.

finding solutions? nope, post more rage… that'll fix it

what about this? https://kbin.social/m/android@lemdro.id/t/467656/To-improve-security-Google-s-making-it-slightly-harder-to-contribute#entry-comment-2442599

Google is not making Android for users, but itself as its advertising platform. Ever wonder why custom ROMs and even other manufacturers have a permission to block internet access for specific apps in their Android forks but Google does not? hmm… Alright

Google isn't looking out for anyone but itself. These kind of restrictions and excuses are exactly what Apple calls "security".

is there any online instance yet to check?

yea. of all the shit the company pulls, how is this even newsworthy.

must be a slow news day.

"And in other news, water is wet"

Just off the top of my head, Android allows multiple browser engines to work on it, allowing firefox to use extensions. Android can torrent, while you can't on stock iOS without hacks. Firefox with extensions on Android is god send if you're a power user.

For someone who claims to be a power user, it's really showing… And don't forget open source ecosystem is much much much bigger on Android.

Before that, it was hangouts and regular people didn’t know about it.

This is their biggest problem, They themselves fragment their user base. We were on hangouts, you could even get your google voice calls on it, we didnt' switch to allo or duo, till they announced they were retiring hangouts. And now all three are gone.

We stay away from Google now.

it's free until oracle decides to shut it down without warnings. Then everything goes poof

what's with that? without mentioning why they suck, that's just the ol' "trust me, bro"

Tech Journalist? More like Big Tech mouthpiece.

He continued on to say he will only be found on Threads, Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram

how were they ahead of Samsung and other manufacturers exactly? genuinely curious.

Doesn't KDE Connect do the same and more?
