iCloud+ seemed like a great value proposition for people migrating from Workspace, but there are quite a few hangups. Seems like Microsoft hits a good middle ground. Completely off topic, but why do people think having a sticky header indic

Playing devil's advocate, given the choice between trusting a random developer to keep their keys private or Google to keep their keys private, I'd probably side with Google. Yeah that doesn't help with coercion or governmen

Bingo. Exactly what I thought when I saw this. Of course these orgs have their own infra monitoring, but technically anybody can monitor them and then claim to do so.

No no, it's encrypted so you can just completely ignore the security of your web service. * Broken auth? Doesn't matter, encrypted. * IDOR? Encryption takes care of it! * Blind SQL or something from the 90s? EEENNNNCCCRRYYPPPTTI

Very clean, would be nice to have an easy "export" function if users want to host it themselves.

Agreed they are likely aware that there are sounds they can't stand, but they might not know why, and it can be difficult not knowing why.

Might it be misophonia? Might be if you have what seems like an extreme over-reaction to outsiders or haven't realized you may have Misophonia and can't figure out why you're feeling tension or "anxiety" for no appa

Potentially. Google also stills updates AOSP too, so you're not 100% reliant on LineageOS et al for these updates. There's nothing stopping you from grabbing those blobs out of Google's AOSP images and updating them, but ther

LineageOS backports security patches when possible, including kernel-related ones since they ship their own kernel. Firmware doesn't include kernels, generally speaking.

NewPipe with SponsorBlock [0] is an open source YouTube client for Android which I can highly recommend, and hopefully you already know about uBlock and uMatrix. 0. https://github.com/polymorphicshade/NewPipe

Interesting they went with this title, the initials are VLC backwards. Coincidence or what?

Does having the ability to compile and build it yourself allay any of those concerns? It means you no longer need to trust the infrastructure or machines being used to create the images, just the developer through their source code which, y

My $200 Monoprice MP Select Mini has been going for the past 5+ years with no maintenance (I know) and was an absolutely great purchase. Yeah it's not open source hardware, but attach a Pi to it with OctoPrint, and it's a great lo

You can still develop for Pebble, even though the entire thing is EoL. There are lots of Pebble enthusiasts and work is still being done on the platform through Rebble. There's also Bangle.js to keep an eye on.

I believe this also only works if your devices are on the same LAN at some point in time to sync locally.

I really hope HN never changes, so rare to see see something so true, yet insane to the average person at the same time. This OS on a phone is "close to daily driver" and yet phone calls don't work. I mean this not as a sligh

I'm still rocking a Pebble 2SE every day, with 2 more in storage for when this one dies. Keep an eye on Bangle.js 2 and PineTime for possible replacements.

I recently wrote my first Android (and iOS) app, and decided on React Native. I just wanted to make something quickly, cross platform, and easy to understand -- React Native fit the bill. No affiliation, but Expo made it very easy and FAST

I get that a lot of the Android-based projects don't pan out, but LineageOS has been going for quite a while now, CalyxOS is relatively new, and GrapheneOS (previously CopperheadOS) have successfully established themselves as the defac

If you admin a Google Apps account on your own domain, with family/friends on it, they have to suffer if you want to migrate away.

There are over 200 open pull requests in GitHub for the Signal Android app, ones dating back to 2015. Instead, stupid shit (stickers, crypto, etc) is being introduced, and actual discussions around fundamental changes to make Signal better

If you're going to quit, why spend 10 hours of your own life solving a legitimate business problem that won't benefit you in any seemingly measurable way?

So this is kind of a 'dark pattern' as it makes orders harder to cancel. I think it can be intentional sometimes.

PlexKodiConnect is excellent if you want to share a library with other Kodi clients, and not mess around with a shared database. I'm glad I switch over to it.

There are numerous open source builds of AOSP forks for the Nexus 5, including LineageOS. Yeah, you're not gonna get baseband / blob / firmware updates or security patches outside of platform, but the damn thing is 8 years ol

Probably the same reason they don't maintain a Flatpak, Snap, or any other package other than for Debian/Ubuntu for Signal-Desktop. Which according to the GitHub discussion, the answer is: ????

But, still, what exactly is it that requires face to face meetings? There are countless companies and organizations doing business across the entire world, having never met the other party "face to face".
