AFAIK simplex is the closest we have to perfect privacy.

Why would a OS need an online account?

We truly live in the stupidest timeline.

They are closing the whole project.

Specifically they say that they are tired of pushing fixes and that they don’t find excitement in maintaining the project. With zero mentions at all to being scrapped or having any kind of AI related issue.

I don’t know if you knew the project before seeing this post. I did, I was considering between this and freshrss and chose freshrss specifically because I knew that the end of ttrss was close (this was like 2 years ago). There were a lot of signs that the development was ending and the project was on route to be abandoned.

First, source code is on github.

Second, RSS aggregators are self hostable, not a service provided by the dev. The dev would have not issues of a public instance of ttrss hosted by someone gets scrapped.

Third, RSS aggregators doesn’t really tend to be public facing. Due to their personal nature they don’t tend to be open. They are more account based.

Sorry, I really don’t see the case here.

It really doesn’t seem like that’s the case. It doesn’t even makes much sense. What do tou think was being AI scrapped? The source code?

You could want to have multiple clients in sync.

Also a web service could be fetching 24/7 and perform classification algorithms before serving to the client that will only connect a few times a day.

You go to the website and the images promoting the browser are using apple. The project is being developed only for macOS and linux. They decided to change the programming language to swift.

To many signs that the devs are appleheads and I get the feeling that the main target is apple, linux second and windows completely out of the box (states by devs themselves). Myself personally, not a fan on apple, I don’t have that kind of money to buy hardware and I don’t see any advantages on doing so.

Giving how apple adjacent the project is I have never had much faith in it being able to truly become an alternative to firefox.

Android Debug Bridge. It is a way to control the device via command line, mainly from an external computer. Among other things allows for app installation. It’s one of the main ways to test and debug apps while being developed.

I think they are looking to partner with a phone manufacturer to move graphene platform to other brand of phones.

Specially since it’s unlikely that google pixels will keep providing the spec info and openness that GOS need to work.

Maybe yes. Maybe not. I think from now they won’t push that far, among other things because even developing for android platform would become a burden. Not being able to even test some app concept without a verified signature…

Maybe eventually they’ll go that far. But as of now I do think is unlikely they’ll completely block the adb way.

Anyway many current users won’t go adb. And third party stores will take a massive hit. That’s google’s goal.

I think you could still adb install unverified apps into your phone.

That untill they’ll block that path too.

Also I suppose that you’ll need to adb every update. So apps that would want to go this way should self check updates instead of relying on an external store.

Presumably google is going to block app installation via a google service. If you do not have google services in your phone there’s nothing to block you.

I have just set up a normal computer with the specs I wanted, installed debian and docker/podman and I’m golden.

This is what I read.

My guess is some android shenanigans. They go to great lengths to track you.

People called me crazy when I said that the phone was listening through the microphone to track your conversations, until they actually admitted they were doing precisely that.

Android may be doing whatever to track you.

Did you notice that lately it’s happen more frequently?

These things happens to me too, and the frequency have measurably increase in this last year.

“Only the thing we are searching for will be searched for”

How do you know if a message has that content without scanning all messages to begin with?

The fuck? Do they think we are stupid?

I also have a WD black 2TB that must be near a decade now and it’s still going with zero issues. There were definitely doing something good.

Though truth be told, it’s a data drive, not the OS drive. So there’s less r/w going on.

A sad reality of political activism is the inability of many groups to follow proper opsec.
