The article seems legit, but its link to Cruncyroll is broken.

Looking SO MUCH forward to some new... OK.

Is Google going to make Android a nightmare? in c/technology@beehaw.org

This is an interesting take. Could you share some resources or links to follow this line of reasoning more in detail? Especially resources that are somewhat "noob-friendly". Cheers.

The discussion I stumbled upon, about this SSH app for Android, is really worrying. Will Google really manage to make it impossible to root your phone?

But there's more to this, it's more complicated. In the Big Picture, Google has every incentive to make these changes — they lead to more security, and they're aligned with Google's corporate goals as well.

  • When talking to users, Google will emphasize control over hackers.
  • When talking to stockholders, Google will emphasize control over users.

Edit: I disagree with "they lead to more security". That's not "security", let's not turn words upside-down.

I said 'fuck you" to Slack for similar reasons. Going to same the same to Discord now.

True science! Astrophysics is one of the few fields left in which they publish by listing the authors in alphabetical order. No "seniority" and similar bullshit that's politics and not science...

Yeah, they're like works of art - no need to keep adding strokes!

Thank you for the heads-up. I've installed it and for now it's working OK. To be honest I don't mind that's unmaintained, if it works (I still use a 10-year old timer app that is just perfect for me, never found the like again).

About that, see comment by @Anafabula@discuss.tchncs.de in this thread. Apparently only the GPlay version is unmaintained.

Yeah there's a mystery about completely different availability policies by the developer in GPlay and in FDroid...

Agree about the security. I use Element/Matrix. I don’t use SMS regularly, but some people message me with that in emergency situations, for instance if they don’t have wifi or mobile data. It’s also still used to get temporary authentication codes.

Absolutely, don't take my post too literally as I'm not very acquainted with the Fediverse yet :)

Does anyone know of an open-source alternative to Google's "Messages" app, which takes care of SMS/text messages on my phone?

I was looking for open-source alternatives on PlayStore and F-Droid but can't really find anything – most apps seem to target some extra purpose than simply handling SMSs.

(Edit: I'd like to stay away from the "Simple Mobile Tools" line because I don't know if it's open source, and I don't like the way they promoted some apps – forcing users to update to pro and similar.)

Cheers!

It seems this community is being targeted by ad bots. I see all of them come from a @szmer.info instance (or?). Maybe it should be banned?

Are there foundations similar to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, but with more international focus? (www.eff.org)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/1819391

I'm a member of the EFF, and its activities are great, but understandably have slightly more focus on USA-related matters. I say "but" just because I don't live in the USA.

Are there similar foundations that operate and focus/prioritize more on an international level? I don't manage to find any, but probably I'm doing the wrong kind of search.

How to set default for "Override keyboard shortcuts"? (lemmy.sdf.org)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by pglpm@lemmy.sdf.org to c/firefox@lemmy.ml

Today I noticed that in the Page Info --> Permissions tab (which you access through padlock --> Connection secure --> More information beside a page's URL) there is an Override keyboard shortcuts permission setting, with default set to "Allow". Interesting, because some sites use shortcuts that I'd rather avoid.

I checked the Settings, but I see no entry to set the default to "Block". Is there some entry in about:config for this?

Cheers!
