It's not thaaaat bad c'mon guys! I mean I'm sometimes forced to setup/debug something on my family/relative's windows PC and all I take is a pill to keep my nausea under control that's it.

They have it planned if you go through the ReadMe in the repo, some work needs to be done before that.

One of the devs has already forked it and plans to maintain the project.

I donated to them directly once and then again opted for the PlayStore versions to buy these apps. Sadly, I will have to move to the FDroid version now because the PlayStore one, the ones I paid for, can get infected with adware any day now.

For Contacts and Clock, use YOU apps. I don't think anything can replace the Gallery, I'll continue using the current version for as long as there's a new community-maintained fork. It's quite stable really, doesn't really need changing this very moment.

What's becoming mainstream these days:

Sender uses ChatGPT/Copilot/Bard to turn content summary into a big professional Email.

Receiver uses ChatGPT/Copilot/Bard to break down the big professional email into summary.

Time is saved but what a wastage of electricity (LLMs need GPU computation for faster output)!

My experience: I got a Nothing Phone 2 recently and decided to degoogle it. Using ADB commands, I removed every google app from my phone, from the Dialer all the way up to the PlayStore, apart from just 2: Play Services and Maps. Both work fine without a Google account. I did take away all permissions of Play Services and it still works fine. Without this app, you will stop getting notifications from most of your apps so it is necessary.

Open source alternatives that I turned towards:

  1. Google Dialer -> Simple Dialer
  2. Google Contacts -> Simple Contacts
  3. Google Photos -> Simple Gallery Pro
  4. Google Play Store -> Aurora Store and Droid-ify
  5. Google Messenger -> QKSMS
  6. Google Calendar -> Proton Calendar
  7. Google Drive -> Proton Drive
  8. Google Chrome -> Mozilla Firefox
  9. Youtube -> Youtube ReVanced (Not FOSS, I use a throwaway account here with Vanced Microg)
  10. Google Translate -> Translate YOU
  11. Google Files -> Material Files
  12. Google Docs/Slides/Sheet -> Collabora Office
  13. GMail -> Proton Mail
  14. GBoard -> OpenBoard fork with glide typing

Everything works fine :)

  1. Education regarding advertising ID and its deletion presented during setup (consent).

  2. Addition of internet permission on per-app basis. Just like notifications now, every new downloaded app must get your permission to use the internet, else work in offline mode.

  3. Give permission to only selected media to apps rather than everything. This is such a security risk, one bad app and it can steal whatnot.

And build an entire gaming console around it (Steam Deck)!

How do I unhide posts? (programming.dev)

Maybe I'm missing something basic but I've been using Voyager with the Mark posts as read on scroll and Show hide posts button. While browsing the Voyager community, I scrolled till 19d mark and pressed hide posts. No matter what I do know, I'm unable to bring back those old posts. Shouldn't it show everything by default and only on pressing the button hide read posts?

Major one for me is their software. No matter the cost, I don't think an Operating System should be crafted in a way that sneakily consumes user data and delivers ads to the user by default. Not on the lockscreen, not in the notification tray, not in the system apps like the file browser. Also, transmitting requests in incognito mode to their servers by default, can you really trust them?

This was taken around half a decade ago when I visited Norway. Beautiful city and people! The Tyholt Tower is a 124m tall communications tower (probably the tallest building in all of Norway) that houses a restaurant and an observation deck. It revolves and completes one full revolution in an hour so you can enjoy a good meal and capture in all of Trondheim!

Notice a small islet on the top right. That's Munkholmen, an islet that has in the past served as a place of execution, a monastery, a fortress, a prison, and also a World War II anti-aircraft gun station!

Had visited India this summer. The heat was unbearable in places like Delhi but got better as we moved to the hills up north.

Smart Watches.

  1. I don't want to take care of charging for yet another device. Plus, analog watches are beautiful!

  2. Already trying to limit my screen time, no reason to check notifications the instant they pop.

  3. Don't want to be conscious of my heart rate and sleep schedule all the time. Also have some privacy concerns about real time data associated with me making its way into big tech's servers.

Try wefwef.app once, it's a web app for Lemmy but has Apollo like UI. Among all the apps and web apps, I'm finding it the best.
