Macabre. Why do you need two silent letters?

Props for MacWorld’s editors for digging out the OG Blue Pixel for this device shot†

A fitting name for a beautiful outcome.

I wish them bountiful data transfers without Telco trashiness.

I’ve done it; results are…flaky at best, YMMV

I can’t tell if it’s just my cable or my Pixels being… Pixels, but transferring from one to the other had frequent dropouts, elevated temps, high drainage, and sometimes disabled USB transfer until you plugged and unplugged again.

Might not be an issue on flagships or other OEMs but idk

ActivityPub is more of a social network protocol rather than a messaging protocol. It assumes most data sent through it will get public by default and has very little encryption set up for it, let along E2EE. Now Matrix is a better use case for an open protocol like that and also offers bridges between other chat networks (I wouldn’t be surprised if Beeper has Matrix under the hood).

You can even file an issue (or upvote similar ones) here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui

Yeah, the dust is still settling (in the middle of a rebrand/namespace migration). I like it as it feels like Mastodon++ and it last links with Lemmy/Kbin.

Ahahaha, the first approach was hilarious I will give you that. But I’m proud to see your new branding — I really think this could build some traction. Hopefully you will be able to work on a Linux client in the future.

Best of luck!

That’s genius honestly. The void should win this year

They would need jet turbine-loud hearing aids with how tone deaf they are

Oh cool, another ASUS PC company spinoff, add it to the pile

Yeah the whole Samsung moon shots (possibly r/Android’s biggest moment as a subreddit) really kinda laid out, paired with the anxiety around AI, that our phone cameras…are not really capturing what we see anymore, or what was even there anymore. There’s levels to it of course, but it is unsettling that we’re going to be in this space of not even trusting any image for a long, long time.

A revocation of intellectual property will most likely require similar forces to the revocation of private capital — societally huge shifts in income distribution, production, infrastructure, and scale. I think those changes are worth making, but doing so would be very, very hard.
I am amenable to making current law much more reasonable, such as requiring a maintenance to keep IP relevant, cutting IP protection down to lifetime of author (not the company), making government funded IP freely or cheaply available to the public, putting abandonware into the commons after 10 years, fully legalizing emulators, etc.

I am no longer apathetic but livid

Fuck u/spez.

That’s a bold strategy Cotton, let’s see how it works out for them.

I’ve had it fail with most SAF locations I tried after Android 11, especially pCloud. After the database locks and KDX leaves the RAM, it often cannot find the database it literally just saved, and will often just generate a merge conflict to the location it attempted to save. As a result, after you unlock once, it can no longer unlock the database and you have to bring up DocumentsUI again.

KeepassDX is the modern one I’m referring to. Because of the whole Android 11 SAF/scoped storage issue, syncing to databases and clouds that use DocumentsUI (the special folders you see when your Files manager window opens) fails all the time. I’ve repeatedly lost data due to KDX not properly saving or syncing, causing file conflicts and the passwords I literally just saved to vanish the next time I unlock the database.

The developer’s response is that it’s everyone else’s fault that their apps’ SAF implementation is bad, not KDX.

I absolutely cannot recommend using it.

I would be happier with KeePass if the Android situation wasn’t so bad. The most reliable app still uses UI elements from goddamn Froyo and the more sleek, modern, auto fill aware app can’t deal with cloud sync to save its life. I hate it here.

Are we really going for a revival of 00s skeuomorphism? 💀

Cool software.

Even as someone sympathetic to ‘privateers’ though…you gotta have more plausible deniability bro, workshop that name lmao
