It would probably be nice if Signal notified you when new devices were added in a somewhat annoying way. I think showing an alert on the app that says "New device added X days/hours ago" that doesn't go away for 3 days a

I'm not sure how Signal would even begin to protect against this. If someone has your keys, there's really not much that can be done to save you. This seems like saying you 'broke' bitcoin because you could steal funds o

An open source(ish) fitness tracker would be great. I like the idea of being able to write apps for my Apple Watch to add custom features (I.e. automatic rest timers when weightlifting) but don't want a smartwatch or soemthing with tha

I wouldn't be surprised if whatever they reverse engineered from the binary had similar behavior

Agreed. I think Apple wins easily though. If they can break it once a month for a day or two, I think that makes it inconvenient for beeper mini users. Maybe not though, who knows

I'm guessing the binary they use from Apple (IMDAppleServices) to generate part of the registration information probably adds metadata to the "validation blob" that gets sent to apple when registering beeper mini as an iMessa

Yes... youtube gave the videos a community guideline strike and removed them. You can watch the videos in this thread: https://x.com/futo_tech/status/1719468941582442871?s=46

Almost all other videos about Grayjay have been removed from YouTube too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J990zSpg6JI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hijdzxIHMEI

The unlisted video has no audio I believe. Just a screen recording of him opening the two apps

He was unable to upload videos due to the strikes. Google allows you to expire strikes if you take a short online training on the community guidelines. He recently completed that and was able to start uploading again.

One of the videos they striked him on was an unlisted video with 5 views comparing the speed of Grayjay vs NewPipe.... YouTube is really digging for stuff

I like it in principal, but I think it's hard to keep up with spam in a manner like this.

Yeah, Polycentric lets server operators choose to censor individual posts or entire users. Your client can query anything that's censored from one server by querying it from another where the content was published. It's fairly eas

We'll look into it. Thanks for checking it out

Yeah, I also think having the option to censor communities in specific is a good way to do it. So you could just choose not to host /c/hatefulcommunity. I'd imagine blocklists and community reputation systems would be created

I've thought about trying to do something like this as a side project. For lemmy in specific, I think having a "lemmy directory" that redirects urls to their correct server would be nice. (I.e lemmydir.com/c/homelab

Yeah, Apple's passkeys is trying to do this too. Their UX is good but it's still pretty immature

Yeah, I agree it all feels very disconnected. I think this problem extends to the communities on federated platforms too. Taking a look at the Reddit like federated alternative (lemmy), there's multiple instances of the same 'subr
