As a Unihertz owner: stay sway from any of their products. Software support is non-existent. If you are lucky, you may get 1 update 1 month after release.

They are a niche brand, so custom ROMs simply don't properly work.

What I'll never understand is why they don't release their code and let the community make Unihertz the best brand ever, because hardware quality is incredible. But this hardware is useless with terrible software.

RISC-V will also come to you, don't worry.

KDE Plasma Hack masterrace

Does omebody know about a trusted tool for easy deletion of specific chunks of info from Facebook?

I would like to keep some stuff so no copycats can be made, but I'd like to delete things such as my "liked movies" and shit.

I use Android because I want to install the apps that I fucking want. The launcher is the place where I spend very little time. Stock Android launcher is generally fine for me.

I do use Signal. Everyone should have Signal for telephone contacts. But for the other stuff... I'd rather use a decentralized system.

Actually, I've tried DeltaChat, and it does seem to do everything right. It still needs some features, but it's advancing fast and it's already pretty usable, and device sync is amazing.

In terms of Matrix, yeah it's not the best experience right now, but I guess it can still be fixable. XMPP has just too much technical debt and fragmentation, it seems.

Aside from that, it makes sense that it took Signal a while to get the sync feature because Signal ONLY stores messages locally. XMPP stores them on the server. I would expect to be able to access that information from anywhere. What's the point of doing so anyway? Let me at least import the keys so I can unlock those messages. But it seems like you can't.

Then losing all your project's history, while also forcing you to stick to a single, unofficial (because there is no official) XMPP client for the rest of your life because there are no standardized multiplatform backups. I'm sorry but no.

You may call it a feature. I call it a huge fat bug.

That is very sad. I'll be migrating out of XMPP. It's intolerable that one cannot recover messages that are still there; or that even moving from one client to another implies you lose all of your history.

Yes, but also, your Taler wallet stores value too, I guess.

In any case, I wonder why Taler has not made it a point that they are (or could) be a payment system for the digital euro.

Could you expand?

It won't be great if non-libre payment systems are still the rule.

I have seen 0 articles relating GNU Taler with the digital Euro, and I am very worried this incredible project will end nowhere. Because the digital Euro is definitely coming and that would be the moment to put Taler to work.

There is a Lemmy version of the same community, I won't link to it just in case, but it's very easy to find.

It's not as active, but if you are going to reddit, make sure you come back and post some info to ours!

It's pretty fair to dunk on Brave because it's Chromium. I don't want the biggest ad company in the world having the monopoly on how we see the Internet, and Brave perpetuates that.

The day the browser comes back to the Mozilla foundation, you'll realise you don't fucking need Google.

We the community, are waiting for the moment we can invest on our (currently) only chance to truly fuck with Google.

You can skip that step. Not that it's okay, tho.

Also, seed to I2P trackers!! It's now possible with qBitTorrent.

What about finally doing something with RCS?? It's been stagnant for YEARS, no audio speed-up, no pinned messages, not possible to separate contacts to useless 2FA SMSs... What about the promised mini-apps? What about opening the API??

What about doing ANY ACTUAL WORK?
