  • I'm a habitual liar. close enough 🤷‍♂️

  • it probably won't hurt in most cases. BUT if your parents get murdered by someone with money, you're at least getting some kinda support.

  • aww not compatible with my device :(

  • Not sure, but link for those who (like me) may not know what GadgetBridge is - thanks for making me aware!:

    GadgetBridge description:

    A free and cloudless replacement for your gadget vendors' closed source Android applications.

    Links:

  • Oh, in case you're not aware, generally a feature list isn't specifically catered to one specific person.

  • Where can I find that? The generic name makes it hard to search for. Thanks!

  • Do you use it and if so, what kind of photos are you putting in there? If you don't mind sharing.

  • For me? Absolutely. I would like to be able to keep my (and my SO's) main photos app PG-13. Unfortunately, previously, if you lost your phone or it got destroyed all your private photos in the "Locked folder" would be gone forever, so it wasn't a viable option for anything you cared about. Now there's at least the option to keep intimate photos and not risk losing OR exposing them accidentally when passing your phone around to show non-intimate photos you've taken.

  • Super cool! Thanks for making me aware of this project.

  • finally. it was basically useless before this.

  • isn't that what ESR is for?

  • correct, if your employer offers anything good. even if they do offer anything, it means losing employment and being sick could get costly if not terminal.

  • wow! happy to hear that. May have to play around with it before I fully commit.

  • Ah okay. That's what I used to do when I had a car with a manual transmission, didn't know there was a name for it! Thanks!

  • what does that look like in practice?

  • For those who may not know, bcachefs (bcachefs.org) was written by the same developer as bcache (wikipedia.org) - TIL! I was always confused when reading headlines about bcachefs but never looked into why someone might give their filesystem such a conflicting name. Now it makes sense. I've used bcache briefly and it worked really well for my use case. Anyone using bcachefs that can speak to their own experience? How does it compare to btrfs?

  • People need to (re)discover adblockers and alternative apps.

    • Firefox+uBlock Origin takes care of nearly all ads on the web.
    • NewPipe Lets you watch YouTube without ads (and lets you download videos).
    • Pixelfed is like insta without the ads (or people, lets be honest, but you gotta be the change you want to see)
    • Mastodon is twitter without ads
    • Lemmy reddit without ads

    We have the tools and technology, its just a matter of people making the move, but that's hard because of the network effect.
