I’ll take a look into it, thanks for the suggestion

then don’t.

it’s not something your being forced to do. it’s the lifting of an unnecessary restriction that in turn gives you more power on your device.

and this is why uBlock origin is the be all end all of extensions.

this is honestly the conclusion I’m getting to after trying out Lawnchair and Kvaesito, like others in this thread have recommended

this is what I do currently (GrapheneOS Network Permission), but I’m just curious if there are any other alternatives out there. it’s slightly easier to have trust the software I use from the get-go, not hinder it so it can be trusted, if that makes sense

I’m mostly fine with any launcher, as long as you can put apps in folders in the app launcher, as well as hiding some apps altogether. Lawnchair looks interesting and I’ll check it out

Google cannot see any message content of Signal notifications through FCM. It’s more like a “heads up” to the Signal app, telling it “hey, there are new messsges. wake up and check what they are.”. The Signal app then checks for messages and does all the decrypting and whatnot itself.

While it’s possible that the timing of FCM telling the app to check for notifications could be used to correlate activity, that’s an edge case that if you are concerned about can be easily avoided by just using the background WebSocket or a fork of Signal like Molly that allows you to use a third-party UnifiedPush provider to check for messages in the background, instead of FCM.

I think the main difference is that the Play Store version can use FCM (Google Play Services) for notifications, while the APK Signal distributes only receives notifications over a background WebSocket connection.

FINALLY! something to help LOWER those gas prices!

shred or alternatively you can zero out all the bytes in a drive with dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/<DRIVE>

it’s great but doesn’t cover email, that you have to do yourself/with a provider

I still find Tealdeer useful even now, it helps me get working with commands I know little about, more so than a manpage

I couldn’t stand not using a custom app for Reddit because it is just so bad. I’m a nerd too so that made moving here easier.

As for getting others to move here, not yet. 🥲

who let the magic mouse engineers loose

I mostly use Shizuku + Termux to run adb commands on device, but this looks easier and nicer

Vesktop.

Signal uses AWS.

NO. REALLY?

I didn’t know cobalt.tools was OSS. cool!

Mint is lovely! I started out with it years ago and still use it today.
