Hi, I’m Miss Brainfart.

I’m afraid of sharks, with the exception being blåhaj. What could that possibly mean, huh.
(That’s not a hint, I genuinely have no idea)

Lemmings can also find me @miss_brainfart:catgirl.cloud on Matrix, if they desire to do so for e2ee reasons

I am actually using a degoogled phone, and the only thing I’m missing are push notifications, for one single app. Everything else I use works just fine for me, but as always, ymmv

Yeah, the default lineage cam today can’t do a whole lot either

I’m using DivestOS on a OnePlus 5T, runs like a charm.

But Divest is in dire need of funding right now, and might not be able to continue development, so that’s something to keep in mind, sadly

GrapheneOS seems to be the all out best, from what I can tell. It’s just that their strict requirements needed to achieve this level of privacy and especially security severly limit the selection of devices you can use, which is a bummer.

I’d love it if Signal officially supported UnifiedPush, it seems to be the most promising direct alternative to FCM. They started talking about quantum-resistant encryption or whatever, but at the same time resorted to using a websocket.

Which is pretty much the least elegant way of doing it. Not something I’d expect from them, to be honest.

Then there’s Tuta Mail, they have a much better way of handling push notifications, but it’s still their own thing too, and instead of promoting something like UnifiedPush, they write blogposts dragging Protonmail for not having an alternative.

(Which I’m also annoyed by, but their posts about it seemed a bit pretentious, which I just hate to see.)

Which is fair, but I’d still like to have the option to manually type in my area code, instead of having to turn on gps.

To be clear, I haven’t come across a weather app that doesn’t allow that, but I also wouldn’t be surpised if there are some out there.

Development of that has stopped, they are currently working on a new fork called Tubular, which has the additional option of being able to login with a YT account.

Newpipe itself is also currently deciding on whether to do a complete rewrite or not, so the coming months might be a bit slow in terms of new features.

And this is why I like Androids feature that automatically revokes permissions after a certain timeframe of not using an app

miss_brainfart,
@miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml avatar

The only reason it’s like that is because devices come preinstalled with Windows. I would love if we had the Linux option that makes the device cost less

Working should really happen on a separate network though, business has no business being conducted on a private one.

I haven’t seen it used much in a non-gendered way, so I guess that’s why it has a clear masculine ring in my head

I mean, if anyone, Captain Lezbian is the person who needs to have one

I remember seeing your original post.

Now, how about one step further:
How in heavens can you make Thunar show embedded thumbnails instead of auto-generated ones?

never really bothered with the spinoffs, as the model of Arch makes them useless and more problematic to deal with

I highly enjoy using EndeavourOS. But then again, I wouldn’t classify it as a spinoff, it’s pretty much vanilla Arch, but purple.

Now Manjaro on the other hand… Tried it and understood why so many people don’t like it within the first week.

Well damn, federation took its sweet time to show me your reply

40+ is where it gets really interesting, introducing the possibility of getting delirious with weirdly unsettling hallucinations.

Don’t fuel them by watching TV is all I’m gonna say.

My bank actually reccommends Firefox alongside Chrome and Safari.

Which is pretty much the only thing I can respect about them, sadly.

Say what you want, but a fever knocking you out and having you dream weird stuff is the best part about being sick

I only know Ohio as the state that will be invaded by femboys armed with Nerf guns, and a kiwi trans girl leading them

Kiwi as in from New Zealand

The simplemobiletools apps are being forked by one of their bigger co-developers, so I’ll just use that as soon as it’s available.

Until then, as long as you got the build from F-Droid, there shouldn’t be anything to worry about.

What users often do not realize is that almost all such notifications travel over Google and Apple’s servers.

So on the Android side, is an app safe from this if it doesn’t rely on Firebase Cloud Messaging?

miss_brainfart,
@miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml avatar

I don’t think I can really fault any Android developer for wanting to use Firebase and be done with it, because it’s just so simple to implement, and generally easy to work with.

But some things should be more important than comfort, shouldn’t they.
