  • Its original idea is actually interesting. Influencers always share perfectly composed scenes of their life, so it seems like they are always traveling, always doing something interesting. This app asks you at random times to please share what you are actually doing at that moment, it sends a notification when you should share, it has a window of some minutes to take a photo. You never know when the next bereal notification will show up. You can be sure, if someone always shares something interesting from their life constantly is not just faking it, it's actually real.

    I never used it, but some of my friends do, so this is based on their explanations.

  • You should assume that whatever you upload to the internet without encryption is public. Bereal was always advertised as a tool for sharing your life with others, so this isn't unexpected for me. The only misleading part is that if you share with friends only, it's not just your friends, but also the service provider, so you should assume that it may leak. I never used bereal so I'm not familiar with its features, some of my friends use it and I just heard about it from them. From their description it didn't sound as an app where you should expect privacy.

    Is Lemmy a privacy nightmare? No, because you know that everything is public here, admins can even see your DMs.

    Do not share private data on the public internet

  • There are different communities for answers like that, for general techsupport. Maybe OP asked it in a wrong place, but if it's already here, and does not sound blatantly oftopic it should be answered in the spirit of the community.

    And the answer was also wrong, OP asked how to save as inverted, not how to open inverted.

  • People are different, different people like different things, and they care about different features of a device.

    I never had any apple device, but I help a lot other people with iphones and macs, and I have to tell you they are just devices. I'm familiar with their features, but I don't care, this whole thing is only about you. If you want an iphone buy one. If you don't want one, just move on, life is too short for getting mad about unnecessary thing like this.

  • Wouldn't it be better to replace the full rom at this point? You trust other parts but not the dialer?

    What I'm trying to say, if you think your built in dialer is a spyware, it's very likely other components of the rom could be spyware as well, and you don't gain too much by replacing only this component.

  • How can you be sure someone is not storing CSAM on your server, if it's encrypted?

    It sounds like storj from a decade ago, but you got at least some monopoly money for your storage there. I don't follow what they are doing nowadays but it started similarly

  • Have you checked nocode platforms/databases? It's basically a cross section of a super powerful excel and a database manager. You can set up the way you want, link records from different tables, add images, files to "rows", like excel on steroids. You don't have to understand SQL at all, that's why it's called "no code".

    I use nocodb. Tried baserow before, but I didn't like that a lot of basic features are not available in the foss version, in nocodb only some bells and whistles are behind a paywall and not available in the self hosted version

    They are also called airtable clones, as airtable was the first well known platform like these.

    Some other similars exist: https://alternativeto.net/software/airtable/?platform=self-hosted&feature=database-management

  • They announced joining Formula E in 2020, and the future of the hypercar category was not fully clear at that time, LMDh was announced also in 2020, I guess their Formula E deal was already settled before. In the late 2010s WEC didn't look very interesting. Porsche left it in 2017, the only factory team was Toyota in LMP1

  • The pin runs some android based software as the website mentions adb. You can build your own interposer, and they are selling the current official one on Etsy, in a 3d printed case. It doesn't sound like something made in a factory. I guess it uses some off the shelf usb to jtag chip or similar.

    The interposer files are in this repo: https://github.com/MaxMaeder/OpenPin

    From the bom it seems it's just a micro usb to pogo pin converter, no chip mentioned, so the pin has an usb port, but pogo pin form...

  • This is not a well written arricle. They mixes up material design with corporate memphis, which is not necessarily related, they can exist independently.

    Their actual problem with google's ux appears only in this paragraph:

    The problem? Google’s actual UI & UX design is terrible. Whether mass-market or enterprise, web or mobile, its interfaces are chaotic and confusing. Every time I use Google Drive or the G Suite admin console, I feel lost. Neither experience nor intuition helps—I feel like an old man seeing a computer for the first time. I used Android for years (stock Android on a Nexus device), yet even after all that time, I struggled to distinguish buttons from plain text.

    No examples, no reasoning, no good counter examples how it should be done, nothing. I'm not super familiar with google's web ux as I only use search and youtube ocasionally. They write here about android, but no android screenshots in the article. So is this about web ux only? Or anything google? The author couldn't even figure out what is their problem, this article sounds like "old man yells at cloud"
