These projects are fun to hear abt because I always go “damn I wish I heard about that six years ago” only to find out it is emerging from 8 years of developmental purgatory. So in a way I got to skip the wait

Spamblocker on Fdroid’s pretty good, works with contacts/contact groups and stuff

No different kind of tech fetish (moving from public exhibitionism to being privately sealed in a latex suit)

You can get very fancy new alarm clocks that don’t need internet, skill issue. I’m convinced consumer grade IoT tech is some kind of irrational boomer exhibitionism thing

Nothing could be worse than an Electron client. Honestly for me it’s XMPP > Delta Chat > Matrix > SSignal/Telegram/etc. Matrix integrations (apps) don’t even work on any client and they moved the bloated server improvements into a walled garden

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I heard that Matrix client is lagging behind the others in terms of cryptography?

To be honest, Yandex’s proprietary services are irreplacable and significantly better than Google. Many more languages too.

Epic thx

Cool well if they did lmk if this is a fake controversy

I would agree if they weren’t FUNDING Nazis. That’s coming out of the cost of your laptop buddy

Wow I had no idea this drama even existed??? Uhhh anyways use RSSHub it’s incredibly powerful. You feel like the Silver Surfer.

😿 Well I wasn’t too hasty with my expectations

Very ambitious, hope something comes of it. The focus on enhancing (?) compatibility between Lineage and the device isn’t what I expected.

XMPP, but also Delta Chat! The Webxdc apps for Delta work in XMPP client Cheogram despite there being no cross-compatibility between the networks. It can access ordinary email servers so long as they were not set up maliciously (Apple, M$, Gmail, etc). It can do a couple things XMPP cannot, but it’s not suitable for anyone outside close friends and family. I basically only use it for email, automation, and other personal matters. XMPP is for general use and can replace Discord. The Movim project looks very cool they have a community here also join their XMPP chat. Cheogram services can connect to the regular phone network.

Ask in the Sharkey Discord (sorry that’s the only place they are) if any better forks have arisen than Sharkey yet. They’ll be frank

Which fork?

Hardware is too locked down. Open source chip platforms are only starting to be developed now after decades of computing. It’s all been running off the same architectures from monopolists. Linux phone devs like PostmarketOS work in such a tiny box that AOSP guys get much further. That is what I have gathered learning about it past few years anyways.

I had never read their forum threads on Fairphone and eOS until the other day. Makes me glad I ruled them out for other reasons.

Nice, I’m gonna try that. I use SingleFile.

Fairphone looks really bad after reading some of the GrapheneOS forum threads covering them. Calyx is still on hiatus over the security patch thing
