I would love to use this on my iCloud mailbox. It seems odd to use the Gmail API instead of IMAP. Hopefully that becomes supported in the future because the project seems great.

It's dissipating the same amount of heat as the same CPU with fans. The difference here is the heat is inside it instead of blown out into the air.

I've seen people 3D printing this exact thing on Instagram for months.

There's a strong overlap of these people also doing stupid stuff like flying near and on the final approach courses of instrument approaches.

Good on you for altering the page. I very much hope to see the desktop client become open source soon, as I would very much like to use it. Best of luck with the project.

You gave this exact same answer to me in your Discord a year ago. If nothing sketchy is going on why not just open source the thing?

At a minimum you should remove the banner at the bottom of the page claiming it's open source.

One must ask themselves why a REST testing tool has venture capital and needs to be closed source (despite their website proudly claiming "Open source"). I'll pass on installing this onto my computer.

Students waste a tremendous amount of time learning these things which could be better spent elsewhere.

What if what humanity needs to realize is that language learning is a waste of time, unless you are studying the history of language. There's no reason we shouldn't have only one planetary language, besides the whims of governments and nationalists.

I dream of a advanced designed language that incorporates the best features of existing written and verbal systems. Now that's a goal worth spending time on.

Some other interesting things I've noticed is counters are often wrong, sometimes even with insane values such as -1. Replies missing from retweet views, missing search results, people have reported that replies sometimes don't work or never appear.

So as someone that potentially would ask you that, here's my thinking. Rust programs are (in my experience) always fast, less buggy (I'm sure you'll immediately scoff at that, but compared to the number of runtime errors I get in JS programs vs Rust I think it's significant), and they don't require massive dependency chains like Python and JS programs.

You could probably solve the things I just talked about with Go or some other new compiled language but the community has settled on Rust and Rust has great features right now that are working, so my thinking when I see something written in Rust is usually relief.

I've had this idea of starting back at basics and relearning math from the beginning since I never "really" learned it besides memorizing and skirting my way through it in school.

Do you know a good path or book that's suitable for that?

Question for people that read deep into these things. What is the best CPU for the linker stage of compiling? I would assume these high performing single core "gaming" CPUs would do well, but I must admit I care a lot about power efficiency as well. I have a 3900x and love that CPU for nearly everything but waiting on optimized builds.

This is probably a forbidden subject but is it possible to download raw mp4/whatevers with this somehow?

My issue with Mastodon is deployment. Why do they have all these silly little services doing different tasks? Inevitably someone's going to rewrite it all in Rust and it's going to handle 100x (without even being optimized/load balanced) whatever it's doing right now and it will be as simple as turning on Postgres and launching a binary.

From there people can choose to run external services to further handle load, but right now just to launch a small instance, needing all the crap that comes along with the node.js world sucks.

Just to share my experience: I had a game server that accepted donations through Paypal. We had nearly $4000 in the account when suddenly it was frozen for "suspicious activity". We never got the money back and Paypal support ghosted us.

A burner phone is really only useful one time. Each time it's turned on and used more and more statistical indicators are emitted.

- The location the device was turned on, used, turned off.

- The devices contacted by the burner phone

The kind of graph databases the government uses can round down the number of people that could be using any burner phone to a reasonable guess after just the first power on and contact (call/text). This is possible with only metadata. If you have the persons voice and message content it's even easier. As the phone stays on and contacts multiple numbers the graph database increasingly narrows down the possible user. I would guess within 3 calls/texts (not considering location data, or god-forbid other smartphone data) you would have 99%+ certainty who the user was if those interactions follow any previously known pattern.

You can't hide.

I don't have anything to add other than to say Paypal stole $1800 from me this way.

Yes

If you don't like Newpipe you can use Youtube Vanced which is basically a pwned version of the native Youtube app. I've had some stutters with Newpipe but overall I like it.

Osmand really isn't bad, sure it's a little bit slower to render but we're talking maybe 500-1000ms on a Pixel 3a.

Regarding F-Droid you're right it is quite buggy, but thankfully once you've got the apps you want you don't really need to use it except to update.

Signal is specifically designed to work without Google Play Services, so expect a 1:1 experience when using it with these privacy conscious distros.

I'm confident Whatsapp will work, but I have not tried. Push notifications will not work without Google Play Services.

I'm surprised to hear you say that. I've played the most demanding Android games on the Pixel 3a with no issues. I've never experienced anything but a butter smooth UI on Graphine or Lineage to be honest. The battery life has been all day for me even when using GBA emulators for multiple hours a day.

I agree the default camera app of Graphine isn't great, but it's picture quality better than the iPhone I came from (iPhone SE gen1)

GraphineOS constantly spoofs the device's MAC so that argument is not valid (I also don't know how a website based email client is getting your MAC). It's also extremely easy to spoof the device's name. The way they are getting that is simply your browser's User Agent, or if it's an app, your phones root properties. There may be some other identifying properties about the device they can collect though, I agree with you on that.

Also, I agree with your argument about phones being tracking devices. Anything with a radio that connects to cell towers is going to be logged and tracked in perfect detail.

If your phone is locked you will most likely not get the notifications, it just depends on the app. I do agree it can waste battery.

It's important to remember this is only a concern on non-free apps. The FOSS apps have very low power background services that check for notifications without the app running.

Some will, however I have heard some of these apps have janky hooks into Android's trust system which will break them on non-google distros.

Personally I wouldn't suggest having banking apps on a phone.

You can always use the web browser if you absolutely must access those accounts.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Does it support extensions? I can't go anywhere without uBlock Origin :D

Yes they will work, however to get notifications when the apps are closed you would need to have to some form of Google Play Services. I suggest MicroG if you are intending to do this since it seems to be the least invasive.

In my personal case though, I would still not use MicroG, and would just leave the app open until I am done using it. This is easier on Android because apps are not suspended in the same manner iOS apps are.

I use GraphineOS and LineageOS without Google Play Services. They are great and are suitable replacements for Apple and Google.

- Osmand(FOSS) for maps (supports being fully offline!)

- Signal and Discord for messaging (Discord is sandboxed)

- Newpipe(FOSS) for Youtube

- F-droid(FOSS) for my FOSS appstore

- APKmirror for the few non-free apps I need

- Libretorrent(FOSS) and VLC(FOSS) for watching movies

- Firefox(FOSS) and Vanadium(FOSS) for browser

- K9 Mail(FOSS) for email

- Infinity(FOSS) for Reddit

- Secur(FOSS) for 2FA

- Taskkeeper(FOSS) for reminders

Almost everything you need is in the F-droid FOSS app repository. It all works, and it works well. You can buy a used Pixel 3a for around $80 on Ebay and have a better experience in every category than iOS, hardware and software.

The only limitation is push notifications, which isn't a problem because FOSS apps like Signal bundle their own notification system that does not use Google Play Services. Discord however, does not get push notifications (which I wouldn't want anyway)

I don't agree regarding your flip phone comment, that's silly. I don't use any form of Google Play Services (No OpenGapps or MicroG even) and my phone works completely fine.
