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’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.)

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

My bank actually reccommends Firefox alongside Chrome and Safari.

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

You can have it if you want to, I don’t really need it

Really? You’re missing out.

They’re not called fever dreams for nothing.

I didn’t know that, this is super cool!

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?

I was going to say Siege, but they removed the ability to play as a team of exclusively shield recruits, I’ve heard.

Signals’ note to self chat is really convenient, ngl. A linear chat history is obviously not the most organized way of writing notes, but for some small save-for-later type infos here and there, I like it a lot.

Next smartphone I buy, which one do you recommend?

Things that make me angry about my current smartphone Samsung Galaxy S21Ultra on a Verizon plan is the mandatory software updates in which they install WITHOUT MY PERMISSION stupid apps like Netflix and addictive gambling games and stacking block games and Candy crush. God knows what else they install without my permission. I...

Now for the important question though:

Do they allow the user to uninstall those apps like any other app?

Microsoft

Will their new project at least not be racist and xenophobic this time?

Older MacOS versions had stuff like the chess game preinstalled for no reason, though I don’t know how current versions look like.

I also don’t know how easy it is to remove preinstalled apps nowadays. Back in the day, you could disable System Integrity Protection, remove whatever you want, and re-enable Protection afterwards.

But please tell your contacts that you’re using bridges, if you haven’t already.

You are effectively giving away encryption keys to a third party, since those messages need to be decrypted and re-encrypted mid-transit.
Everyone who is part of the chats you use bridges with deserves to know about that fact, at least.

I hope we’ll get to use LibRedirect, it does exactly that, but for a dozen or so services

The good part about it is being more sustainable by using the same PCs for three decades.

Imagine banks, hospitals and so on regularly replacing their machines. That would be an ungodly amount of electronics

There is very little reason any app should keep its permissions if you never actually use it, is there?

Especially when most people use apps that phone home every last piece of data they give them access to.

The basic Brets are pretty good, unless I’m confusing them with another brand

Two things are important here:

  1. The faster something on screen moves, the higher your framerate needs to be for a certain level of motion blur.

A 2D point and click adventure at 30fps could have comparable motion blur to a competitive shooter at 180, for example

  1. Framerate is inversly proportial to frametimes, which is what makes it harder to notice a difference the higher you go.

From 30 to 60? That’s an improvement of 16.67ms. 60 to 120 makes 8.33ms, 120 to 240 only improves by 4.17ms, and so on

Ah, something I want to add:
That’s only explaining the visual aspect, but frametimes are also directly tied to latency.

Some people might notice the visual difference less than the latency benefit. That’s the one topic where opinions on frame generation seem to clash the most, since the interpolated frames provide smoother motion on screen, but don’t change the latency.

miss_brainfart,
@miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml avatar

Let’s put it this way:

Everyone has different standards in terms of motion blur they can bear, and you need a certain framerate to achieve that standard at any given speed of motion on screen.

I don’t host anything myself, a local Piped instance on the Desktop and Newpipe on Android serve me splendidly

I can only monetarily support so many tech habits!

I really feel you on that one though
