Man sues Apple for accidentally exposing his infidelity
  • You can only do that for your own messages though. I'm guessing the messages from the prostitutes would be more than enough for the wife to notice.

    Also I think the window is longer than 3 hours. Maybe a day?

  • Man sues Apple for accidentally exposing his infidelity
  • Signal also has a similar problem. If you choose the "delete for me" option, it only deletes it on one device and leaves it on the others, last time I checked.

    He would have to set up disappearing messages aswell.

  • Why does everyone hate Microsoft for adding LLMs into Windows and spying on users, but not Apple?
  • I didn't know that was a controversial opinion? Do you think that Apple are as bad as Google or Meta in terms of privacy?

    Apple does have privacy violations, but the things I've seen them get caught doing are minor compared to the things that many other companies do openly.

    The main point of the article you've linked is that Apple put the equivalent of a "Do not track" option in a browser, and it did exactly the same of a "Do not track" option in a browser (nothing). Does that mean that any browser with a DNT request option is bad for privacy?

    Adding an option that is somewhat misleading isn't ideal, but it's incomparable to something like Cambridge analytica incident, or the tracking that Google put basically everywhere on the Internet.

    By the way, I am in no way defending Apple. I'm just saying that everything that Apple does, companies like Google and Meta also do, just ten times over.

    I believe an iPhone is way better than a Pixel for privacy, even if both are far from ideal. I'd love to be proven wrong, tho.

  • Over 1 million new users and over 600 new servers added in one month across the fediverse.
  • Moshidon is really good for android. I especially like that you can have custom timelines for basically anything

  • Live Tracking
  • If you mean live tracking like live location sharing then signal doesn't have that.

    There's a location sharing feature in signal, but it just sends a Google maps link to a (non changing) location

    Is there a Mastodon android app that has the option to open mastodon instances in the app
  • Yeah, you have to share the link and then tap on moshidon tho, it isn't automatic

  • how doable would a demo here be (i'm trying to speedrun but idk if that would be a very reasonable strat)
  • I think it's better to just go over. What I've seen is to do an ultra from the purple blocks, before entering the room dash up right, then dash right to get over the dust bunnies.

  • Signal and Threema want nothing to do with WhatsApp
  • Doesn't necessarily have to be the same. Afaik the signal protocol is for sending messages, not for transferring backups of chats.

    Whatsapp actually lets you back up all your chats, unencrypted, to Google Drive or iCloud. Definitely not the same as Signal.

  • Cyberbullying Gone Global: Fediverse Spam and Operation Beleaguer
  • It's probably more expensive and inconvenient.

    Also it might only take one report for an active mod team to ban a server. How long can that take? An hour? Less? If they're on servers that real people use, bots have to be banned one by one, so the spam can last a lot longer and reach more people.

  • Twitter front-end Nitter dies as Musk wins war against third-party services
  • It will work for a while until the guest account expires, but then you'll need to log in with a Twitter account.

    (I think)

  • IT'S HAPPENING??? (Usernames??) Signal 7.0.0 has been commited for Android
  • Usernames will (hopefully?) change that tho!

  • Twitter front-end Nitter dies as Musk wins war against third-party services
  • It got updated so you can log in with Twitter accounts instead of only using guest accounts. It still works as far as I can tell

  • Twitter front-end Nitter dies as Musk wins war against third-party services
  • If anyone needs to use Twitter but doesn't want to use the official app/website, Squawker (F-Droid) (GitHub) still works, but you need to log in with an account now.

  • Bluesky and Mastodon users are having a fight that could shape the next generation of social media
  • you can't move that account somewhere else.

    That means you can migrate between servers and keep all your friends and followers, something that's currently not possible in the Fediverse.

    It absolutely is possible to move accounts between instances on the fediverse. I've done it multiple times.

    It does have some quirks tho. Posts aren't migrated to your new account. (Some fedi software lets you migrate posts, but from what I hear it's kinda jank).

    It's not seamless, but the option is there, and you won't lose any friends or followers (unless they're defederated or something)

    Bluesky accounts seem like they'll be more portable than fediverse accounts but I don't know much about it

  • Tear Down Walls, and Build Bridges
  • It's a crawler that ports things from one platform to another without consent from the user. If either of them are unethical and should be blocked, then both should be blocked.

  • Tear Down Walls, and Build Bridges
  • I understand blocking this bridge, but if admins do that, they should block other bridges too, like bird.makeup

  • Elon Musk Bought Twitter to Settle His Jet-Tracking Beef, New Book Claims
  • Threads isn't federated yet. It'll be a while before fediverse accounts can be seen on threads

  • Signal changelog
  • That just sends a screenshot on a map and a Google maps link. What we want is realtime location sharing

    How to break into grannie's house!

    Thank you to Reddit u/Thunder9191133 for this post where I originally found how to do this glitch.

    It's possible to glitch into grannie's house in Epilogue by skipping the cutscene at the same time that Madeline starts to walk into the house. Here's the most consistent way I found to do it:

    1. Go to Epilogue, and climb up the step to the left of Madeline.
    2. After she climbed up, hold left and almost immediately pause.

    If Madeline walks into the house, you paused too late. Restart chapter and try again.

    If you pause the game and see 'Retry', you paused too early. Retry and try again.

    1. If you pause the game and see 'Skip Cutscene', you did it! Now you can skip the cutscene, and you'll be in the house (but the cutscene will still be playing).
    2. Pause again, and press Retry.

    That's it. Have fun in grannie's house!

    !Video showing the glitch

    For some reason you can't grab or walljump on the walls of her house. There's not much to do in there, but it's interesting that it's possible.

    Feel free to try it yourself! It will probably take a few tries, but it's not too difficult.

    A Friendly Climb - A Celeste Co-Op Level

    I just played this mod with a friend a few days ago, and it's pretty fun!

    It's a multiplayer level where one person plays as Madeline who can dash, and the other plays as Theo who has a grappling hook ability. You help each other through screens, for example by moving blocks or pressing buttons.

    It's online, so there's a bit of delay, but it works better than I expected! The different abilities for Madeline and Theo make the gameplay a lot more interesting than if it was just 2 Madelines. I recommend checking it out, even if just to see what it's like.

    Pixelfed is adding Groups, similar to communities, which will federate with Lemmy, Kbin, and Mastodon

    The beta for groups will release later this week, which won't be federated initially. Federation will be added afterwards.

    Looks like it will have some interesting features like videos, polls, and events, as well as moderator tools like limiting what a user can do.

    !A menu in Pixelfed titled 'Limit Interactions' which shows that a moderator can prevent specific users from posting, commenting, or liking posts and comments.

    [Guide, Updated] Open any Lemmy link in your Android app of choice

    Last updated 27 Aug

    Clicking Lemmy links usually brings you to the original instance of the link, which means you won't be able to interact (vote/comment). It also means it'll open in a browser instead of an app.

    Luckily, for some apps, there's a better way to open links. The method in this post will work on Eternity, Sync, Liftoff, Summit, and partially Jerboa.

    Eternity (Infinity)

    When you see a Lemmy link, share it with the Infinity app, then tap 'Handle Link'. That's it.

    To get links to open fully automatically, go to App Info > Open by default > Add link. (This won't work with all Lemmy links, only about 60 instances).

    Sync, Liftoff, Summit, & Jerboa

    1. Download the Lemmy Redirect app:

    IzzyOnDroid

    GitHub

    1. Go into the Lemmy Redirect app, and tap 'Main' next to the app you use.

    Now when you see a Lemmy link, share it and open it in Lemmy Redirect. It should open in the app you chose.

    More info

    • On Jerboa, links to communities will work, and posts from your own instance will work. Posts from other instances will not.
    • Sync, Summit, and Jerboa have an option in App Settings > Open by default, to open links fully automatically, but this will only work with some instances (~60 in Jerboa, 51 in Sync, 14 in Summit).
    • Eternity also works with Lemmy Redirect but the other method is easier.

    Opening Automatically

    Lemmy Redirect has the option to open all Lemmy links fully automatically by either:

    • Using Shizuku
    • Manually adding all 1,500 links (Not recommended)
    • Using LinkSheet (IzzyOnDroid) (GitHub)

    Other Apps

    For other apps, I couldn't find an easy way to do it, but there is a more annoying way to do it:

    1. Copy the Lemmy link.
    2. Go to your instance's search bar in a browser, and paste the link.

    The post should show up in a way you can interact with.

    1. If you really need to you can save the post and open it in an app.

    That's it. If you think anything in this post should be updated, let me know!
