  • The only time it paid off for me was for VPN Unlimited and Plex and even then, I barely use the former and Plex is being enshittified.

  • That and the process of being audited for your app to gain access to Google Drive is apparently a nightmare on top of being super expensive.

    No wonder so many apps don't even bother adding the ability to sync files with like Joplin.

    I hope the EU eventually crack down on that bullshit.

  • People with non-rooted phones won’t get automatic updates via F-Droid which is a big hurdle.

    Not true if the app to update targets a high enough API version (I think API 34 or 35) and if you use F-Droid Basic.

    NOTE: The Basic version of F-Droid Client has a reduced feature set (e.g. no nearby share and no panic feature). It targets Android 13 and can do unattended updates without privileged extension or root.

  • Geico could save you 15% or more on car insurance. Keep honking to save 1% per second.

  • You have the NSFW flag set on this post, but the post itself contains no NSFW content.

    Most spammers think that will make their message evade detection :::spoiler spoiler It doesn't :::

  • Broadcom is where previously good softwares go to die.

    Proxmox, Nutanix, Canonical and Incus must be quite happy with the new customers.

  • That July 2024 outage must have hit their forecast pretty hard. Best wishes to those affected :(

  • TL;DR: The first test was a total disaster and my phone wasn't located until an hour after it was back next to me.

  • One more reason to not put all of your social media eggs in the same basket.

  • That's the point of digitally signing the app, to ensure its authenticity and integrity. TM and others wouldn't be able to resign the modified app with the Signal Foundation signature.

    EDIT: Yeah after thinking more about it it's not a trivial problem, as you need to assume that the endpoint is inherently untrusted.

  • At the moment you can't. The only realistic way I could see that happening is if the servers would check the app's digital signature and refuse the app from communicating with the official infrastructure if it didn't match.

  • The money donated to Fedecan is exclusively used to fund the non-profit organization, and the instances it directly manages (lemmy.ca, pixelfed.ca). There is no plan to transfer a portion of the donations to the Lemmy devs, as we prefer to keep the accounting as simple as possible and makes it obvious what you're financing.

  • And another great thing about Markdown: if the system doesn't "support" it, it's still totally readable. The formatting doesn't get in the way of readability.

  • Partially, just because there is the ability to bridge it (ex: https://fed.brid.gy/), but I expect them to pull the rug at some point.

  • In the cursor metatada you can specify where the click occurs. Personally I always assumed the click would happen at the tip of the arrow, not the shadow below.
