  • In essence, if that where possible someone could build an api and donate his ID into it that answers all the authentication requests for everyone. There needs to be a way to ensure different users use different IDs, which necessitates a bunch of tracking.

    And that in the ideal case

  • 2 days ago I commented on an empty post, and as per usual reloaded right after (habbit from the reddit days with their unreliable servers). After reloading it also fetched 2 other comments, I think one about half and one 1 hours ago. I did notice the timing as suspicious, my comment was short so it would be unlikely for federation to happen right in that window but not the previous hour, right?

    Maybe the federation you are seeing is triggered by some kind of interaction?

  • There are tvs that wait a month before giving you a big manually dismissed popup about not being connected to the internet.

  • It's a user input device, that in an electric circuit can allow power to either pass through it or not.

  • Yeah. It uses google ad-mob, or if you purchase it needs the google play store app to verify that and deactivate ad-mob.
    A way to purchase it without going through gplay would fix this, and probably means it could be published on fdroid in a premium-only version at least. I've been meaning to ask @rmayayo@lemmy.world about the feasibility of that for a while now. It's bothered me for years now, but I simply couldn't find an alternative so far (neither back on reddit in the days).

  • With federation it's kinda like complaining archive.org doesn't have a good way to purge page snapshots in case you post something on your website you regret later. Or search engine caches. Or the local scammers replicating your page with curl for a phishing scam.

  • Boost does, under settings, general, uploaded images. Here is mine:

    I can delete them there (or forfeit the ability to do so)

  • Yes, the deletion would have to be federated, there is no way to guarantee anything at that point. But as I understand OP this is about acting quickly, on an upload that isn't even part of a post yet.

    If I doxx myself on any service, someone can take a screenshot, it could be archived. But If I delete it before anyone sees it, there is a good chance it will never get out, if the primary platform properly removes it.

  • In boost I have a list of all my uploaded pictures, where I can delete them.

  • You can use Simple Play Integrity Checker on IzzyOnDroid (fdroid repo) or the play store. It also checks safetynet.
    If gpaywallet works that would indicate 2/3 play integrity if your android is recent I think, so it might be unrelated to the api. 3/3 isn't enforceable yet afaik, too many legitimate devices can't pass it.

    Apps can still bring their own root checks, but magiskhide should allow you to pass those.
    Unless the app is quite nasty and checks for the mere presence of apps that don't do much without root or xposed, in which case there are also modules that allow you to limit what apps other apps can see being installed (really seeing installed apps should be a permission, but sadly it isn't on most roms yet)

  • Indeed. I have found an article which I hope I can simply keep bookmarked to make it a simple task following whatever the next method may be.

    But I have also found things calm down considerably over time, google seems to concentrate their resources on recent android versions. Once a15 or a16 are out for a bit, I probably won't even have to update the module anymore.

    All my older rooted phones have access to everything, even after years of not caring at all.

  • Been paying a bunch on my rooted custom a13 rom in the past 2 months. 1 single magisk module (Play Integrity Fix by chiteroman) was all it took, simpler than it has been in a long time. I have full safetynet or 2/3 play integrity reliably, which to my understanding is all google can reasonably enforce on modern devices and android versions for a while to come.

    So with sadness I must say I can't use google pay at all ... cause they killed it. But google wallet (formerly google pay, formerly android pay, formerly google wallet, formerly google checkout), works just fine

  • Thats definitely hugely relevant, yes.

  • How about phones sold preinstalled with a custom rom?

  • np glad to help good bot, keep fixing dat 4 me

  • It outright prevents any legislation mandating backdoors, on a level harder to change than even a constitution.

  • Just like any other user through a history containing high-enough-quality interactions.
    It is a flag set manually, so a malicious/undercover bot would not have it set. It's more odd than suspicious.

    I did look into your comments and saw no bot-like ones at all, which is why I asked. Is it like a stylistic decision or are you procrastinating actually developing the bot?

  • The easy to show part was the second sentence of my comment.

    This is really useful physics trivia, because the basic truth is easy to show from a simple law, but the detailed explanations go quite in-depth.

    With lenses, you trade bewteen angular accuracy and light density.

    For a challenge, try it with LEDs. Where do you find the source "temperature", you can get from focusing an LEDs light?
