BwMessenger was launched in 2020 and Android Playstore shows 50k downloads. That doesn't seem like mass-adoption. I don't see anything replacing WhatsApp in Germany, unfortunately.

some right wing nut job is projecting what the republicans are currently right now trying to do (and have been trying to do since Trump lost) onto the democrats

It's bizarre. The donkey's hair even resembles Trump's.

Calendar app devs will love the migration project.

Germany after ww2.

Why doesn't the screenshot show the prompt but only its title? Unnecessarirly suspicious since it wouldn't even be hard to fake it.

Both are so stupid and I still chuckle every time I see those.

I'm sure that's not an outer wall and they added the blue glass to emulate daylight.

Java seems to be the culprit then.

Applicable and economic solutions are needed now though. The tech isn't there and yet the moron of a Minister tries to force it, no matter the cost.

Damn right he will! Wait, who again?

You're right, scratch that.

I've just never downloaded apks directly from Github and probably shouldn't recommend it for the reasons OP gave wrt keyboard apps.

I got confused by that issue about naming conflicts with the original OpenBoard. If you have installed that one, you need make your own debug build to run them in parallel.

Unfortunately, it's an abandoned project that hasn't gotten updates for 2 years.

There's an active fork but no release yet, you can only install by building it yourself: https://github.com/Helium314/HeliBoard

Also, most countries don't honor their politicians as god-kings. Maybe US hillbillies will (try to) build a pyramid when Trump finally dies.

Thanks. That's some advanced internet shit.

No, they can't since I don't have a Google mail address. Even if I had, they'd have a harder time building a social graph when I communicate with others outside of Gmail.

That's the superior approach and Firefox introduced it far earlier than Google addressed the problem.

Why OP is blindly arguing in that corp's favor and ignoring all the reasoning provided here, is beyond me. Shilling?

Because Firefox chose a superior approach and Google was late addressing 3rd party cookies in the first place. Why did Google not adopt Mozilla's superior approach of isolating 3rd party cookies per domain?

What a stupid thing to say.

Whatever your favorite (and probably shitty) proprietary or open source messaging service - not everybody uses it. But hey, everyone has email, so let's kill that.

BTW since you said encryption is important to you: your walled-garden messaging service has a much easier time profiling you and your friends than they would in a heterogenous environment like email. They don't need the content anyway, just metadata.

make sure you don’t do the XY problem.

Thanks for the link. That's funny because translating Y to X is basically the core task when developing client-specific solutions.

I had no idea how to properly set up the filesystem, so I mounted them to /mnt/f and /mnt/h. It caused me many hours of headache later.

Can you elaborate? What kind of headaches? How would you set it up now? While I've been using Linux quite a while I don't have multiple hard drives and am always interested in best practices.
