having to do a firmware update on my soldering iron

You don't. It works perfectly fine OOTB. Can't speak for the Pinecil v2 with Bluetooth and the companion app but I have v1 and the software been stable and bug-free enough I've never even given a thought to updating the firmware on it

Me. $350 off and $100 worth of storage upgrades on a Pixel 9 pro was worth it for me. Phones now are expensive as fuck but getting a ~40% discount on a brand new product made it easier to accept.

Oneplus 7 Pro on release. Amazing phone, great value. Still holds up years later

Thanks for the info! Just struggling to find a suitable tempered glass protector now since the pixel 9s moved to the ultrasonic style fingerprint reader.

Pixel 9? If so, what screen protector did you go with?

Just got one and the screen protector I bought doesn't work with the new style fingerprint sensor, so looking for a known-working brand

Telegram's server side software is closed source, owned and ran by them exclusively so they really have no room to talk. WhatsApp doesn't even have OSS clients so they're even worse in that regard

It's because the original image macro that this is based on was about piracy, saying something along the lines of "I bring a certain 'just torrent it' vibe to the conversion that the riaa just doesn't like."

Their reuse of the macro is indirectly an answer or a continuation of it that can be seen as acknowledging the original message.

In addition to the ones listed:

• Matrix client (Element, Shildichat, Fluffy chat, etc.)

• XMPP client (Conversations, Monocles Chat, Blabber, etc.)

• SimpleX Chat

• Briar

None of them are tied to your phone number if that's what you mean by non voip.

Tried ElementX but ran into issues while getting it working with a selfhosted matrix server. After setting up dendrite (matrix server) and sliding-sync server (asynchronous message history syncing; which it requires) I still wasn't able to get past the initial sync screen. Are you hosting your own matrix server, did you use it with a public server, or have you not tried using it yet?

If you're ok with just file storage sftpgo has been solid for me for years now. Does sftp ftp and WebDAV (like nextcloud). Webui isn't as pretty but it's fast. Mobile apps will be various sync apps with sftp or WebDAV support. On Android folder sync pro is pretty good for keeping documents and pictures backed up

They did. Its called airmessage. Has been around for almost 3 years now
