Hosting data yourself wouldn’t be required, but it would become an option.

You’d have the option of leaving your identity on your home server, or a separate domain/website, or host your data and identity but use another instance to federate.

Though, designing UX for this will be an interesting challenge.

Sorry for the late reply, that shadow is present in most launchers as a default option to create contrast between the wallpaper and status icons.

Things like Nova Launcher and Lawnchair have options to disable it.

Awesome to see that Sony development is still kicking <3

I’d love to slap LineageOS on a modern sony

Loved their devices back then, especially because they offer an extended range of updates specifically for developing on-top of AOSP, even including (Major) Kernel Updates

That on a modern device? Count me in

is this everywhere on the device?

I’ve had success with this before for unlocking :)

Syncthing does have an Android app, but I’ve never looked into doing anything syncthing-related on iOS because I simply don’t have any iOS devices :/

Maybe you’re interested in the latest testing versions of Lawnchair?

They’re completely rebased it on modern versions of the Stock Android launcher, and they do support the Google feed on the left, the searchbar, things like PixelSearch and more, as well as customizing the experience to your liking

it is not on-par in features with old versions of Lawnchair 2 yet, but for being a complete remake from scratch I find it quite remarkable

There are ways to do indefinite edits using message relationships

The edit message would simply refer to the message to be edited and contain the new content, or a delta/diff of the content. This would not need to be shown to the user in the UI

The reason it’s this fucked up is probably more because it’s yet another Google-Specific extension on top of RCS if I had to make a guess.

I’ve resorted to just syncing my fault folder using Syncthing externally, surprisingly convenient

The Google-Way of doing things

Yet another W for Signal where you can edit indefinitely, and can look at the edit history. No context lost, no risk of modifying things after the fact

If you wanna go nuts on the data, probably Obsidian.md with the built-in Daily Note plugin and the Dataview plugin, which allows you to do all kinds of crazy operations on the data in your vault as if it was a database.

If you wanna go less nuts, obsidian still has tagging, linking notes, daily notes, and all kinds of other stuff built-in and is extensible by things like the Calendar plugin from the community.

And everything is stored as plain Markdown with the occasional hint of JSON (for some plugins) so you’re not locked into using Obsidian until the end of time. Your data is yours.

(I realise this sounds like an ad but I’ve just been using Obsidian for years now and I enjoy it)

Generally, if your admin set something like that up, they will have instructions in their privacy policy.

Codeberg, woo!

Note that tons of instances have increased the limit FAR beyond 500 chars. Mine has 2000.

You can actually put alt-text in images, ![alt-text](URL)

Indeed, rooting usually beats the purpose.

Not because it inherently makes you less private, but because having bad security makes it hard to be private, and opening up a way in android to allow apps to do what they want (selective root access) usually requires punching a lot of holes.

Even with AVBRoot, which allows you to setup Magisk or KernelSU with full Verified Boot support, you’re still leaving open the possibility that something abuses the fact you’re rooted against you.

But just so you know, if you insist, you can skip the step of locking your pixel’s bootloader and install Magisk, but do not expect any support from that point onwards.

My copy of Breezy Weather has Precipation Notifications 🤔

well, not if you want a UI that’s designed around threads like Lemmy or Kbin does 🤔
