case in point: people still use twitter.
And WhatsApp over Signal/Molly.
Sounds to me like you need an upgrade. I tried Jerboa, but it felt like it always lagged behind or was buggy for some reason. Then I switched to Voyager, which gets constant updates. Also, it's a PWA, so I don't need an app and it can thus be used on mobile, tablet, desktop, etc. Not to mention the theming is one of the best, in my opinion.
The ending period? Not for me on Voyager.

Features
GPT-4o integrated in Kagi Assistant
We've benchmarked OpenAI's new flagship model GPT-4o, released yesterday, and its performance on our internal independent tests (PyLLMs and reasoning on Chess puzzles) is impressive. As a result, GPT-4o has now been used across various features in Assistant:
-
Default model for Research Expert mode and Code assistant
-
Used for interpreting and working with uploaded files, including images
-
Available through Chat Assistant
Note: Kagi Assistant is available as open beta for Ultimate plan members
Recipe extraction/summarizer
Kagi Universal Summarizer now automatically identifies when you are summarizing a recipe and conveniently displays both the ingredients and the cooking steps #3937 @leopoldarrestrom
You can use Kagi Summarizer as a standalone Web app, through Kagi Search Extension in your browser or directly in search results.\ !
Additional notes for Family / Team account members
When setting up a Family or Team account, you now have the ability to add names for each member. This feature is particularly useful for managing team members who use email aliases #2695 @Alligator\ !

Even their server codes are publicly available
Last I checked, their provided server code lags behind their production server, so you rarely get to see the current version. However, that's kinda the point of E2EE, is you don't have to trust the server.
Most browsers I run into, you can search from the address bar. You can also disable or point to a different search engine, if you want. So you could skip going to the site. That aside...most browsers would accept google.com and not need the full https://www
I say most anecdotally as I haven't tested them all.
I don't know, sounds reasonable chief.
They want to talk to everyone so they're blocking someone/anyone? That does not sound logical. If that instance defederates, all that person has to do is just not use them as their home instance. They're saying they want to talk to everyone, but they're going out of their way to not do so (by blocking an instance, for whatever reason). Makes no sense to me.
Is Eternity still in development? I don't think there has been a release for 6+ months.
With most PC things (RAM, disk space, CPU, etc etc), too much is better than too little, provided you have the resources.
Out of curiosity, can you link where Proton said they don't have the user's recovery email, that the users themselves attached to their Proton account?
I have left, I just view Reddit...
So you haven't left Reddit. Like saying you left Google but still Google search without logging in.
Yes, you need an Internet connection at some point. This can be a cafe, a library, an office, your house, friend's house, etc. As for controlled by the government, well, that depends on your country.
Worst case, if possible, you can move countries. I understand that might not be feasible, but my point is, you can move countries to escape the government and Internet restrictions. But the government locks your account/bank? Moving countries doesn't fix that, and you're locked out of any money you had there.
But even if I have a server, I'll have to have my own separate Internet if I really want to be able to pay unrestrictedly.
Separate Internet? I mean, yes, you do need Internet. Not sure what you mean by "separate." And you don't need a server (node), though they are handy for privacy. You could choose one that is reputable.
Otherwise the government would just shut down my internet connection, right?
If they knew where it/your Internet was. All you really need is your phone or PC. You could use a cafe or library or cell tower or etc.
Nobody is doing that now, with regular money, either.
I think it's more for ACH between banks as well as some banks have limits. Also, a government literally stepped in to actively block people's accounts. Just because you can swipe your card and buy a soda, doesn't mean there aren't restrictions or people being blocked.
Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said Thursday financial institutions have moved quickly to freeze the accounts of people linked to the demonstrations in Ottawa, leaving an unknown number of protesters in financial limbo

when humans were asked to solve distorted text CAPTCHAs, they were able to solve them in 9 to 15 seconds...and were only able to get the answer correctly 50-84% of the time....bots taking the same texts were able to answer the same tests in less than a second, and they were able to do it more accurately — 99.8% accurately, specifically.

five simultaneous logins...you and five of your friends...get the price down to $1 a month.
You (1) + 5 friends = 6, which is more than 5. So where does the extra dollar go and who doesn't get to login?
This is not terribly new, and requires more investigation. One of the bugs appears to be due to Mullvad, other is potentially an Android bug.
Why isn't Rumble an option?
For most people who refuse to use it, it's probably because they view it as more a haven for extremism and hate speech, as it seems to have made its niche by allowing those who were banned elsewhere (not always a bad thing...depends on offense).
Most of Rumble’s prominent accounts are run by individuals, not organizations, and about a quarter have been banned or demonetized on other social media sites. The Center’s study examined 200 prominent accounts on Rumble, selected from those with the most followers. As of June 2022, about eight-in-ten accounts (78%) were individuals while 21% were organizations. About a fifth of these prominent Rumble accounts (22%) have been banned or demonetized on other platforms.
Guns, abortion and LGBTQ issues were among the subjects that prominent Rumble accounts focused on in June 2022. A review of posts from these 200 prominent Rumble accounts found that about half posted about guns and gun rights (49%) or abortion (48%), 44% posted about LGBTQ issues, and 42% posted about the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. These posts came amid widespread discussion of major events and issues that were regularly covered in the news at the time.

plus their name is the same as a style of dildo 🤣
Are you against D&D for the same reason?
then must do what you need to do in order to be productive
You clearly have not worked at most larger companies which have Acceptable Use Policies (AUP) which typically involves not modifying the PC and OS with threat of termination when (not if) discovered.
I think I'm going to skip this generation for Tablet 2, whenever that is. I'm hoping for the addition of Desktop Mode and hardware memory tagging support / MTE to make the tablet easier to replace/act as a desktop and be even more secure.

This announcement is from the Lawnchair Discord:
Lawnchair 14 has arrived!
After about 2 years, we're delighted to announce that Lawnchair 14 has finally arrived!
Based on Launcher3 from Android 14, this release works with QuickSwitch from Android 10 to Android 14! You won't need to use an older version to integrate with the system.
Some major highlights: • Search your phone, the web, and more with our new Global Search — no root needed!¹ • View flight info, see surrounding traffic, and keep an eye on your data usage with Smartspacer — all integrated within Lawnchair.² • Want to further control your icons? Fret not, We now support custom icon packs for themed icons, alongside some new icon options.³ • Themers rejoice — you can now hide the Dock for a cleaner home screen. You can also change even more colors, fonts, and padding. • Are you tired of Lawnchair crashing because of widgets? We've fixed that issue; you won’t need to do some hacky workaround to add them.⁴
Alongside that, we have a new partnership with Startpage — searching with Startpage (via the dock search bar or App Drawer search) helps support Lawnchair’s development.
We still have more things to share! See the announcement on our website for more information.
¹ Experimental feature, requires opt in Lawnchair Settings. ² Requires Smartspacer and respective plugins. ³ Requires a supported icon pack . ⁴ May still persist depending on the device.
Appliances giant Haier reportedly issued a takedown notice to a software developer for creating Home Assistant integration plugins for the company's home appliances and releasing them on GitHub.
cross-posted from: https://poptalk.scrubbles.tech/post/567593
> Haier hits Home Assistant plugin dev with takedown notice > > I'm not really big on "let's make a movement", but this independent dev has been hit with a cease-and-desist from making a FOSS Home Assistant addon for their Haier air conditioners. > > Haier claims that they are losing out on millions of dollars due to this plugin which... lets you control their air conditions from home assistant. They haven't bothered to explain how that's possibly worth millions of dollars - they're just claiming it. > > So of course they hit the Streisand button and are demanding that he takes it down. He of course is complying... in a couple of days. Maybe you see where this is going. > > It would be an absolute shame if any of you just happened to create a fork, or clone the code, or mirror it in your own instance. An absolute shame. > > Just so everyone here knows which repositories NOT to clone or fork, here are the two links: > > - https://github.com/Andre0512/hon > - https://github.com/Andre0512/pyhOn > > and please, don't repost this anywhere, or share it in other communities, or anything like that. It's a shame that so many people already know and are making clones. I'm just letting you know so you don't do anything like telling others who may make their own copies. > > (sidenote: Haier owns GE Appliance, so for our American folks it may affect you folks too)
Please add Voyager to the Accrescent App Store, "a private and secure Android app store built with modern features in mind. It aims to provide a developer-friendly platform and pleasant user experience while enforcing modern security and privacy practices and offering robust validity guarantees for installed apps."
This app store, while small, is supposed to be more secure than alternatives. And yes it is small, but it also won't grow if devs don't add to it.
Their publishing guide and requirements can be found here: https://accrescent.app/docs/guide/publish/requirements.html
New Donation/IAP has missing background. Looks like it should have a background, but doesn't, so some words are on top of each other. This is on light mode, whereas dark mode doesn't have this issue.

Miscellaneous
- Further stability improvements.
Pretty much the title. That way Block isn't so lonely in its own long click menu. Also, they're both two sides of the same coin, so makes sense to have them together.
