Is it a pixel 6a? There’s something wrong with their batteries so they updated them so they don’t get set on fire. They’re giving a free battery replacement, and I heard you might also be able to get cash out of it. https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/16340779

I don’t agree with most of these comments, except for the swipe down with two fingers. But it still looks like it’s early in development, and it’ll be a while until Android 16. I don’t think they’d make a two finger gesture the only way to access quick settings, especially from an accessibility standpoint. They’ll probably change it.

Current stock android quick settings suck. So much wasted space. Changing some settings is inconvenient. It looks quite bad, especially the brightness slider. And editing the tiles is currently extremely slow, difficult and janky.

This change improves the looks. The number of tiles per page is changed from 8 to 12/16. Toggling WiFi or Bluetooth on/off will now take only one tap instead of three. Editing tiles looks smooth and easy.

This isn’t change for the sake of change, this is a fix for one of Android’s weakest points.

Tbf there’s a link to imdb on the first image

Yeah I usually like the Google boxes in search results, but this is so excessive. Everything after and including the polls is just completely unnecessary

Sideloading is quite bad. If you’re in the EU, I know you can use AltStore PAL, which costs money (~€1.50 a year), but all you’ll be getting is emulators, virtual machines, clipboard managers, and torrent clients.

There is another method for sideloading that works anywhere and lets you download modified apps, but it is very limited, tedious, and probably insecure. I’ve done it, it’s not worth it. Better to stay on android or use a browser with adblock or something.

I don’t think iOS has any specific limits to do with NSFW stuff, I’ve never heard of anything anyways.

Pirating games is probably not going to be worth it either since you have to sideload apps with the second method.

Other types of piracy are probably fine. If you have AltStore PAL you can get a torrent client and an emulator.

You can only do that for your own messages though. I’m guessing the messages from the prostitutes would be more than enough for the wife to notice.

Also I think the window is longer than 3 hours. Maybe a day?

Signal also has a similar problem. If you choose the “delete for me” option, it only deletes it on one device and leaves it on the others, last time I checked.

He would have to set up disappearing messages aswell.

I didn’t know that was a controversial opinion? Do you think that Apple are as bad as Google or Meta in terms of privacy?

Apple does have privacy violations, but the things I’ve seen them get caught doing are minor compared to the things that many other companies do openly.

The main point of the article you’ve linked is that Apple put the equivalent of a “Do not track” option in a browser, and it did exactly the same of a “Do not track” option in a browser (nothing). Does that mean that any browser with a DNT request option is bad for privacy?

Adding an option that is somewhat misleading isn’t ideal, but it’s incomparable to something like Cambridge analytica incident, or the tracking that Google put basically everywhere on the Internet.

By the way, I am in no way defending Apple. I’m just saying that everything that Apple does, companies like Google and Meta also do, just ten times over.

I believe an iPhone is way better than a Pixel for privacy, even if both are far from ideal. I’d love to be proven wrong, tho.

Moshidon is really good for android. I especially like that you can have custom timelines for basically anything

If you mean live tracking like live location sharing then signal doesn’t have that.

There’s a location sharing feature in signal, but it just sends a Google maps link to a (non changing) location

I think it’s better to just go over. What I’ve seen is to do an ultra from the purple blocks, before entering the room dash up right, then dash right to get over the dust bunnies.

Doesn’t necessarily have to be the same. Afaik the signal protocol is for sending messages, not for transferring backups of chats.

Whatsapp actually lets you back up all your chats, unencrypted, to Google Drive or iCloud. Definitely not the same as Signal.

It’s probably more expensive and inconvenient.

Also it might only take one report for an active mod team to ban a server. How long can that take? An hour? Less? If they’re on servers that real people use, bots have to be banned one by one, so the spam can last a lot longer and reach more people.

It will work for a while until the guest account expires, but then you’ll need to log in with a Twitter account.

(I think)

Usernames will (hopefully?) change that tho!

I’m on 3.7.3

It got updated so you can log in with Twitter accounts instead of only using guest accounts. It still works as far as I can tell

If anyone needs to use Twitter but doesn’t want to use the official app/website, Squawker (F-Droid) (GitHub) still works, but you need to log in with an account now.
