It’s also on Steam for a couple of bucks if you want a simple way to support the dev!

Install it from the Play Store and go!

Why would a AI voice company buy a read-it-later service???

whatever code did that was messing with the content indexer

Those guys were determined you’d get what was on the tin, no matter what

I’ve been using custom ROMs for a while now, but the reality is that they can only do so much to stop Android’s ever increasing restrictions.
And the aforementioned Integrity API also detects unlocked bootloaders, meaning this will gradually become more of a problem.

This is my currently dilemma.
Each year Android becomes more restrictive like iOS with none of the benefits, Rooting becomes harder as more apps tap into the Play Integrity API (and strong Integrity is on the way to kill most workarounds for it), iPhone got a little better but is still locked down as fuck, where the hell do I go to? 😒

What does Perplexity do different than other AI solutions?
Heard about it but haven’t tried yet

dawg i chatgpt’d the license […] we busy building rn can’t be bothered with legal

The absolute gall of these guys. Would be inspiring if it wasn’t maddening!

So all it takes to get that sweet, sweet VC mula is a Vscode + extension fork with some hipster branding on top? Really???

Aren’t these guys supposed to be tech geniuses or some shit?
Billions of dollars and they don’t have a single actually knowledgeable intern who could glance at this project and say “yeah, no, I could do this too?”
Or are they’re just ignoring them because AI is a glowing hot buzzword right now?

This is baffling. The entire tech sector praises VCs like they’re god’s gift to earth, meanwhile they’re out here backing stupid shit like this, how can anyone take these people seriously?

Holy shit! This is the first one of these things I’ve seen with SATA slots

This looks super neat but I don’t really like the idea of sending my shell history to a third party, nor can I host my own server right now.
Wish it was peer-to-peer like Syncthing

Spyware because of a feature you don’t even need to use? Geez.

ClownStrike

A fitting rename after such a pathetic and catastrophic failure, that’s for sure.

Ah, so search a couple of domains and sit on their page for a while making random mouse movements and scrolls then? Got it.

I like Simplewall.
By default, it blocks everything and shows you a popup whenever an app or service tries to make a connection, similar to LittleSnitch for MacOS if you’re familiar with that.
The first few minutes can be a bit annoying as you figure out just how many background services in Windows are trying to phone home, but after that, great peace of mind knowing nothing will talk to the internet without you knowing.
Definitely overkill for most users, but if you don’t mind the initial burden, highly recommend.

Seconding Simplewall, it really just works.

God, you know what I really wish I could do?
Run an Android VM on my phone. Imagine being able to do whatever you want with your device and still having a “stock” device for those pesky apps without having to actually have two phones.

It is seemingly possible, but the only app I’ve ever seen do it was “VMOS”: a proprietary app, impossible to trust.

Thanks for the recommendation, only thing keeping me on RealVNC Android was the better UI 🙏

Miniflux is a minimalist and opinionated feed reader

I’ve been using it for a month or two now, so far it’s one of the best RSS readers I’ve used. Highly recommend.

She scrum on my master until I… agile???
