Forest is a simple step counter that shows you the steps you did today, with a little extra info.

Doable is a tasks/reminders app. It’s not the most feature rich, and notifications are only in beta, but I love the design and it does what I need well.

Data Monitor shows you how much data you’ve used in your current plan, and you can see which apps use the most data (or wifi).

Quillpad for notes.

LibreOffice Viewer lets you open word documents and the like.

Squawker lets you open Twitter links more privately, and even follow users to see all of their posts, but requires you log in with an account.

Breezy Weather is a really nice weather app.

Tbf there’s a link to imdb on the first image

Yeah I usually like the Google boxes in search results, but this is so excessive. Everything after and including the polls is just completely unnecessary

Sideloading is quite bad. If you’re in the EU, I know you can use AltStore PAL, which costs money (~€1.50 a year), but all you’ll be getting is emulators, virtual machines, clipboard managers, and torrent clients.

There is another method for sideloading that works anywhere and lets you download modified apps, but it is very limited, tedious, and probably insecure. I’ve done it, it’s not worth it. Better to stay on android or use a browser with adblock or something.

I don’t think iOS has any specific limits to do with NSFW stuff, I’ve never heard of anything anyways.

Pirating games is probably not going to be worth it either since you have to sideload apps with the second method.

Other types of piracy are probably fine. If you have AltStore PAL you can get a torrent client and an emulator.

Microsoft was claiming that the data would be inaccessible to hackers (which is not true).

Signal claimed the exact opposite: that once it’s on your computer, messages can be seen by malicious programs on your computer.

Signal was caught having less than ideal security. Microsoft was caught lying.

You can only do that for your own messages though. I’m guessing the messages from the prostitutes would be more than enough for the wife to notice.

Also I think the window is longer than 3 hours. Maybe a day?

Signal also has a similar problem. If you choose the “delete for me” option, it only deletes it on one device and leaves it on the others, last time I checked.

He would have to set up disappearing messages aswell.

I didn’t know that was a controversial opinion? Do you think that Apple are as bad as Google or Meta in terms of privacy?

Apple does have privacy violations, but the things I’ve seen them get caught doing are minor compared to the things that many other companies do openly.

The main point of the article you’ve linked is that Apple put the equivalent of a “Do not track” option in a browser, and it did exactly the same of a “Do not track” option in a browser (nothing). Does that mean that any browser with a DNT request option is bad for privacy?

Adding an option that is somewhat misleading isn’t ideal, but it’s incomparable to something like Cambridge analytica incident, or the tracking that Google put basically everywhere on the Internet.

By the way, I am in no way defending Apple. I’m just saying that everything that Apple does, companies like Google and Meta also do, just ten times over.

I believe an iPhone is way better than a Pixel for privacy, even if both are far from ideal. I’d love to be proven wrong, tho.

Moshidon is really good for android. I especially like that you can have custom timelines for basically anything

Doesn’t necessarily have to be the same. Afaik the signal protocol is for sending messages, not for transferring backups of chats.

Whatsapp actually lets you back up all your chats, unencrypted, to Google Drive or iCloud. Definitely not the same as Signal.

It’s probably more expensive and inconvenient.

Also it might only take one report for an active mod team to ban a server. How long can that take? An hour? Less? If they’re on servers that real people use, bots have to be banned one by one, so the spam can last a lot longer and reach more people.

It will work for a while until the guest account expires, but then you’ll need to log in with a Twitter account.

(I think)

I’m on 3.7.3

It got updated so you can log in with Twitter accounts instead of only using guest accounts. It still works as far as I can tell

If anyone needs to use Twitter but doesn’t want to use the official app/website, Squawker (F-Droid) (GitHub) still works, but you need to log in with an account now.

you can’t move that account somewhere else.

That means you can migrate between servers and keep all your friends and followers, something that’s currently not possible in the Fediverse.

It absolutely is possible to move accounts between instances on the fediverse. I’ve done it multiple times.

It does have some quirks tho. Posts aren’t migrated to your new account. (Some fedi software lets you migrate posts, but from what I hear it’s kinda jank).

It’s not seamless, but the option is there, and you won’t lose any friends or followers (unless they’re defederated or something)

Bluesky accounts seem like they’ll be more portable than fediverse accounts but I don’t know much about it

It’s a crawler that ports things from one platform to another without consent from the user. If either of them are unethical and should be blocked, then both should be blocked.

I understand blocking this bridge, but if admins do that, they should block other bridges too, like bird.makeup

Threads isn’t federated yet. It’ll be a while before fediverse accounts can be seen on threads

When will the results be posted? I want to see the desserts :)
