I believe telegram manages that with severe upload and download speed limits, but Telegram has always been a bit shady, hasn’t it? Who knows how they financially support all that.

Tuxpaint is also a nice software to add to your list

Well, in my experience, calling it Twitter or any variation helps people stay in negation about the fact that Twitter is dead, and calling it x makes people more likely to open their eyes and delete their account, and losing users is what really hurts musk. I already helped all the people from my close friends circle to move out from that shit.

I always refer to it as X, to remember people that the twitter they knew is long dead

Whoa, they not only won’t implement it, but will work on not letting anyone else do it. They’re more shady than I thought.

Same here. In a more general way, I don’t understand why people can’t simply let things coexist in peace. Just because one doesn’t like or use something, doesn’t mean that others shouldn’t. I’m getting tired of that behavior in our society, to be honest.

So true. I’d complement the first point to include a general lack of documentation. Sometimes, we can’t even know some pinout schema without trial and error.

Glad to be helpful

SimpleQR can read qr codes from images, so you can take a screenshot and read it. The app is available on fdroid.

In this world of enshittification and organizations becoming more and more aggressive, it’s so nice and refreshing to see proton doing the opposite and moving to a better model :)

Can computers be properly recycled? I ask this as someone living in a place where everything ends up in a landfill

About spam, theres a recently added app on fdroid called spamblock. Have you tried it?

If it were anyone but MS, I would agree.

Anyone? What about google or meta?

I remember talos principle 2 not allowing to play on integrated gpus.

I have given it a try a few times, to see if it makes sense to search on tiktok. I tried things like “[generic topic I’d like to know more about]”, “history of [topic]”, “[topic] lecture/course”, “how to replace screen of [phone model]”, “how to fix [device model]”, “how to make [recipe]”, [product] review, [software] tutorial, and a few others, both in english and in my mother language, and in all cases, the results were poor, barely related to my search or nonexistent.

It makes me wonder if: 1- people don’t actually search on tiktok as much as people make it look like 2 - there’s some different way to write the search terms that I’m unaware of, or perhaps, the results would be different if I was logged in 3 - people are simply getting poor results and that’s it 4 - my search interests differ too much from what people search on tiktok

This is one thing I would love to actually see some data about, because I have never seen people not using search engines, no matter the age, but I see a lot of people on the internet claiming that younger people don’t use search engines anymore.

There’s one active brand still making e-ink phones, both single and doubled screen. It’s HiSense. The devices look pretty nice.

There’s a brand called HiSense doing exactly that. Look for the A6L model.

Almost all of our GUI software was designed with high refresh rate screens in mind, so it can be clunky to use e-ink ones. If we had GUis based on section changing, instead of scrolling, it wouldn’t be a problem. On pcs, using the page up and down keys can be a workaround, but on phones, it’s complicated.

Damn, I LOVE e-ink screens, I’d love to have almost all my devices using it, I love to read freely without getting eye strain from it. I’d even give away being able to watch videos in my phone for an e-ink screen.

But it seems like I will never be able to use it anywhere besides my cheap second hand ereader… the prices are always astronomically high :( even chinese e-ink tablets are too expensive for me.
