noodlejetski,

whoa, I installed Android Studio, did all that, waited a bunch and it… worked? just like that? is that what you computer people do with computers at work? do I apply for a six figure job now?

noodlejetski,

yes, that’s why there’s “neo” in the latter’s name.

noodlejetski, (edited )

yes, then it got rejected, and now another iteration is about to be voted on on June 20, 2024 digitalcourage.social/…/112637908478562409

noodlejetski,

nope, they’ll vote on it again in the few weeks. if it passes, e2ee messengers will be required to scan images on device before sending them. you will be able to not agree to that, but then you won’t be able to send or receive media and links, only text.

noodlejetski,

good luck getting everyone you know to communicate with you with “software from GitHub or F-Droid or something”. I’m having a hard time making people try out Signal, which is freely available on the major app stores (and which, by the way, has declared that they’ll leave the EU market if one device scanning will be enforced on them).

noodlejetski,

okay, but that’s not relevant to what I’m talking about here.

Is it worth waiting for WhatsApp interoperability anymore ? Is it ever coming ?

I really need to get in contact with some people on WA and have some groups to join and have been waiting for interoperability to get going so I don’t have to use zuck’s app . But the said date march has long passed and I can’t find shit on it or why it didn’t happen anywhere . I have yesterday downloaded the apk from...

noodlejetski,

other than basic text chat, what else does WA offer these days?

group chats, reactions, sending files, voice messages, voice and video calls

noodlejetski, (edited )

if the software is good and works to your benefit, why not use it?

sometimes people just don’t feel comfortable using work of someone who opposes their rights. even just using the product gives the creator more exposure, recognition, possible funding in the future if it gets big enough, and so on. so, if the creator is openly transphobic, for example, trans folks won’t want to use the product, and doubly so when the community around the product is toxic, too. they’re voting with their feet.

noodlejetski,

Gadgetbridge is apparently going to support some of their devices in upcoming versions gadgetbridge.org/gadgets/wearables/garmin/

noodlejetski,

yeah, and the UI is absolutely atrocious.

noodlejetski,

…and explode them in the next 60

noodlejetski,

probably because they currently don’t get stuffed a bucketload of crackly juice* in 60 seconds

*I don’t, in fact, know how electricity really works

noodlejetski,

so it’s rebranded Windows with some stuff ripped out, maintained by an unknown entity?

noodlejetski,

Consent-O-Matic addons.mozilla.org/en-US/…/consent-o-matic/

noodlejetski,

FYI, for stuff like this you can just use Catima

noodlejetski,

I tried it and really wanted to like it, but the Android client’s UI is just unusable for me. as much as I prefer going FOSS whenever I can, I tried Obsidian and stuck with it. it’s electron on desktop and definitely not native UI on mobile, but feels much more polished.

noodlejetski,

“bug fixes and performance improvements”

noodlejetski,

in every changelog of every software, ever

noodlejetski,

yes, it copies everything, including history, bookmarks, installed addons and UI modifications.

duckduckgo.com/?q=Asahi+Linux+&ia=web

noodlejetski,

libremdb in your browser

noodlejetski,

LibRedirect can redirect Google Maps links to OpenStreetMaps, too, among other functions.

noodlejetski,

don’t worry, they’re already using The Onion

noodlejetski,

not even for the articles?

noodlejetski,

thus particular company is apparently also being accused of being involved in an NFT scam before they rebranded to Rabbit.

noodlejetski,

wow :(

noodlejetski,

thank you for paying pup tax upfront

noodlejetski,

yeah, I’m not a fan of theirs, but in this one case I’ll take a fairly informative video that covers the basics, regardless of the motivation. they’ve got a huge reach so many people will be made aware of alternatives to Google, which is nice. they cover some choices there that I’m not a fan of, but I still like that the topic is making its way to mainstream more.

noodlejetski,

that AI-generated file really wasn’t necessary

noodlejetski,

it’s closed source.

noodlejetski, (edited )

Does someone has an explanation?

companies that have the most money and resources to improve image processing don’t want to disclose their findings in order to keep their advantage over the competition.

noodlejetski,

wait until midnight!

noodlejetski,

it shows “Dec 16, 1” when I open the link, but the first time I saw someone post it, the date on the screenshot said “May 16, 2024 - 08:30 CEST”: social.treehouse.systems/…/112452636130622939

noodlejetski,

SteamOS is based on Arch, which you do not want to use and maintain as a beginner. what matter is the desktop environment, which in SteamOS’ case is KDE Plasma, a great choice in my completely unbiased opinion.

noodlejetski,

misogynistic jerks gonna be misogynistic jerks too, it appears.

noodlejetski,

yes, it’s when an immature jerk on the internet thinks it’s okay to insult a woman because she had the absolute nerve to earn money in a way his puritan mindset doesn’t approve of.

noodlejetski,

it’s not private, and could technically read and collect messages sent via e2ee services, FYI.

noodlejetski,

it can only store cards that use barcodes/QR codes, not NFC ones.

noodlejetski,

not really.

noodlejetski,

no no no not that kind of babies

noodlejetski,

feel free to make a writeup!

noodlejetski,

it used to be on F-droid (not sure if on the default repo or Izzy’s), but it appears it’s been removed.

noodlejetski,

AND 1-on-1 chats only, no e2ee for group chats available at all.
