Duh fuq.

I wonder how many people would give their social that easily.

Have you heard of adblocking?

Honestly good on them for keeping the spirit alive for just about everyone who isn't a direct competitor of theirs.

Let them make some money to continue to fund it. They even invalidated all sponsorships because of the license change.

Unless you personally were willing to fund whatever they make on their integration, then this is an ok play in my book.

I've always wanted to meet that 1 out of the 10 who don't. Probably would be interesting to have a beer with.

Corporate executives love using the word pause to allow the possibility for a resume. It also makes it not a failure since it never finishes negatively: it is paused.

It's word gymnastics.

I still hope as part of the antitrust ruling, they rip chrome from Google and undo this crap.

I've had good luck with uBlock Lite.

(Yes I could swap browsers but nah).

And if self hosting bitwarden seems tough, look at vaultwarden instead. It's a one-container all in one bitwarden-compatible container.

There's another free video editor called shotcut. Give it a try, works great.

I know this may come off as a surprise: but I imagine that requiring JS in 2024 isn't a big deal to most people.

Now of course Lemmy skews more into that small crowd.

I don't blame any website for requiring JS for full functionality in 2024.

Thankfully we can federate bot posts to make that easier :P

This reminds me of when a coworker wrote a protocol around sending encrypted messages back and forth inside of gchat to control another PC.

The reason was that: our company firewall doesn't let stuff go in directly, but we have internet.

I thought that was a nutty tos violation.

Each system had a Google account and would login and listen for messages from the controller.

A Google search later: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/privacy-and-control-over-your-recall-experience-d404f672-7647-41e5-886c-a3c59680af15

All local. Nothing sent. You can choose to not believe it, but it's deceptive to imply they don't say it's local.

If you don't believe them it's one thing but they said what they said.

 

Hey folks,

Does anyone know of an app (FOSS or otherwise) that has a built-in REST-server to get current device info?

I'd like to be able to hit the API from within my local network to get info including:

  • Free space vs used space
  • Battery percentage

Why?

I have an old Android device that sits in the closet as a Syncthing node. It does some other random stuff too. I don't really want to have to get up and look at it to find out certain information. I already have a VNC server running on it. I even have a (sketchy) SSH server on it that I currently call df -h on to programmatically get free space info. The SSH server has some weirdness where it seems to stop working after some time, among other oddities. Also it can't get battery level afaict.

I imagine this is possible using ADB, but I don't really want to have to always leave the device in wireless ADB mode or manually put it in that mode each time; unless that is easier than I think.

Thanks!

Does anyone know of a way to archive all messages in Android/Google Messages maybe older than a certain timeframe?

I have 100s of old conversations spanning back several years. I finally decided it would be nice to archive (not delete) ones that aren't relevant at the moment. The only way I figured to do this is swipe each conversation one by one.

Is there a faster way to just do it all in one swoop?

Edit: I wrote a quick script to do it via manipulating the Google Messages webui: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/4646349 Worked for me!

 

.. its a website run by the US Government. Why does it have such large downtimes in this day and age?

Since everything is about beans right now, I figured we should get in on it.
