Wow, Linaro. that’s a name I haven’t heard in a while. They were the ones to optimize Android builds during the IceCreamSandwich days and just last day I was wondering if there were any third party optimization project still out there. All the best to them.

Apart from replicating the pixel experience on devices not sold by Google, it was a ROM that enabled people to upload unlimited images/video in any resolution to google photos cloud storage (as it could disguise itself as OG Google Pixel).
I don’t know if it worked well and how google didn’t stop it, but it was one of the highlight of this project.
Fork it, Learn to build it, Forget it.

Blame Firefox when a security exploit passes through
I’m hearing a few mentions about ReactOS recently. What do people mostly use it for? It seems it’s trying to be a Windows XP clone, can it run latest browsers, which do not support old Windows versions?
for a browser which constantly has security vulnerabilities and fixes, it’s still late. So I use the DivestOS F-Droid repo. It updates within the day of release.
Good features. If you make a fork, people would be interested in trying it out.
You can generally add “-” before a domainname for search engines to prevent content from that domain showing up.
So for reddit, you’d search “weather -reddit.com”. It should work. This is short and generally works but If it still shows up “weather -site:reddit.com”.
you can also add multiple domains like “-reddit.com -stackoverflowclone.com -seojacked.com”
You can also do this by default using custom search engine with a search string that already contains the domains you don’t want.
For ddg:
These articles are very easy to write and you can see how emotional people get. You don’t need proof and it always works.
Everytime there’s an article about what “China/Russia/India/North Korea/or Whatever Says”, social media goes:
haha, so fake!
fake news
imagine believing this
propaganda bs
where’s the proof?
we only believe in hard facts
no credibility
chinese/russian bots brigading lmao
astroturfing
And then whenever there is “US Says”
so true
I know someone who knows someone who was doing this
I had a gut feeling about this
The boogeyman is real
They’re stealing our tech
They’re coming for us
We have to renounce them
They’re destroying our economy
Enemy #1
They’re ruining our western values
US is numba 1
NO FUCKING PROOF REQUIRED!! Anyone questions?
why would they release the evidence, it’s classified
I mean fuck all authoritarian regimes, but it’s funny to see how social media (especially in US) reacts to these articles and riles them up. Also great for election season.
Standard hypocrisy from propaganda rotted brains at work

If you use on android apps from the playstore, most apps are built to relay their notifications through Google’s Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), so they don’t have to have a background notification listeners running 24/7. It also means less overhead from multiple notification listeners from every app having its own. So yes, if an app is built on top of google play services, it requires “google play services”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firebase_Cloud_Messaging
If an app says it doesn’t rely on google play services, it uses an alternative notification listener or websockets, which might not be as effective, because Google is inbuilt and won’t kill its own apps, the scale of its infrastructure, and its habit of listening on people’s activity.
Add in Androids habit of killing background services, and you don’t always get your notification when the app isn’t in the foreground.
Even Signal from Playstore uses Google Play Services for notifications.

Sounds plausible, but It would make a lot more people change, if it was a study and not just a “an immunologist explains”
That’s what I wanted to ask. Last time I heard about their federation, their team were claiming the tests are underway in a sandbox or something. I wonder how that’s going.
can users in other instances talk with people in bluesky?
yes, they did, but the actual pruning starts from december.
Check lowendtalk offers for some deals on VPS for self hosting. However be sure to check the sellers standing in the community from past offers. You’ll also need to beware of resource limits as sellers will be trying to oversell like crazy and you might end up on some crowded nodes. So make sure you understand what youre getting yourself into.
If the only thing you do on instagram is chat. maybe try Beeper? It’s a matrix client with an instagram bridge. You still have to trust beeper but you can host your own matrix server and use their brigdes.
Instagram still gets your chat data but it won’t be scooping up anything else.
they’re going with numbers along with usernames, kinda like discord to reduce spam. I hope they work.
Protonmail for privacy, gmail for whatever else, and anonaddy for aliases for different websites.
Mostly on Lemmy with Voyager, and sometimes check Reddit with Libreddit (until it lasts).
Best of both worlds.
