You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
even that is questionable professionally
nextcloud comes to mind, but don’t know what alexa show is
the option is definitely there on
androidand desktop. but if iOS is still so simplistic to not have a common filesystem for the user and apps, I don’t know where could it put the export fileedit: I was misateken, it seems they have removed the function from the android app
alternatives are totally worthless for the only useful property of cryptocurrencies, which is private payments
3·5 days agothat role is usually not held by SDDM, though. I think that’s handled by plasma or kwin, but not exactly sure about that part
Is it possible to set a password for sudo on Android? I’ve never seen anyone talk about it.
on android you don’t use sudo, or if it is possible, it is not the usual way. usually there is an app that controls access, and when something wants to start a new program with the
sucommand (switch user), the app pops up a prompt about whether you want to allow it. this prompt can be implemented terribly insecurely or not (or rather the “backend” of it really).the most common root solution nowadays is Magisk. it only modifies the bootloader. it is open source. if you look up how it works, its like a sophisticated malware, but handing control to you
Sucks that I can’t control sensors with root. Sensors are my biggest fear on all phones.
you can’t for the modem. but for other apps, you can, if that’s worth anything. to me it does, because some sensors are not gated by a permission (gyroscope, compass, magnetometer, proximity sensor, light sensor)
what android version do you have? on newer ones there’s a developer setting to allow to have a “sensors off” quick settings tile
Well, shit.
if you don’t need the modem, you may be able to safely wipe the partition holding its firmware. but look it up if it is safe for your phone! it should be, but who knows. also, make a backup! not 1, but 3!! it holds identifiers like the IMEI, and if you lose that… you can’t really just think up a new one, or the carrier may ban you and another poor soul
what is the process of using these, generally? (I assume there are variations)
are there ATMs that work without a camera pointed at your face?
what do you mean by cellular hotspot? working as a CSS itself?
it is not at all detrimental to privacy. it may be to security. different things.
of course, until you install something that uses root and mines data. but there are plenty of tools working with root that don’t do that.
you most probably can’t switch off sensors even with root, effectively. that needs a hardware based switch that just cuts power to the sensor, and requires your physical action to turn it back on.
Intel ME on android is ARM TrustZone, I think, or at least probably that’s the closest, but take this with a grain of salt.
but I doubt that a highly complex OS is running beneath general Android as we know it
afaik the modem often relies on a linux based system

error: problem between keyboard and chair
but nowadays maybe it works better with screen
element keeps a lot of metadata unencrypted. but it is federated, you can choose the server that has access to it (deny federation for the room or set up federation ACLs if important to keep it there), and because of the former it’s harder to just shut down.

signal doesn’t, in theory they don’t even know the recipient of your messages (but there’s a twist in that part as I remember), but it is centralized around US servers. it is easier to shut down.
So then why would you even think to do something like this? Like…why?
well if you would bother to read what they have written… oh I see, then you couldn’t be so condescending
unless they use a computer from the 80’s, there’s no reason a large hosts file should slow down programs that bad.
yeah. this is a bug.
I think the transfer/roaming should be able to work fine without a mesh system too. I remember that OpenWRT has like 2 settings I think, that are not related to the mesh mode but can help device roaming, but by default disabled for compatibility reasons
3·16 days agowell because on android 14 nearly half of the apps ignore the rotation lock. thanks google!

if you still have the devices and you have some tech skills, maybe you could install openwrt on it. are you sure it’s model name is deca? I don’t see on the supported list
yeah, that’s nextcloud. but how do they input data? I guess its touch based, but is it a touch screen with on-screen keyboard (an android tablet with a web browser could replace that) or do they use a pen, or voice, or something else?
