“I had to reinstall” in 3… 2… 1…
262·7 days agoAs one Google Play Store customer said: “No consent given, install could not be paused or stopped. I watched it install itself on my phone on January 22, 2025 (couldn’t pause or cancel it) AND it did all of that over mobile network (my settings are to never download or install anything unless I’m on Wi-Fi). Description tells you nothing. Permissions are for virtually EVERYTHING.”
…
However, some have reported that SafetyCore reinstalled itself during system updates or through Google Play Services, even after uninstalling the service. If this happens, you’ll need to uninstall SafetyCore again, which is annoying.
I’ve said that this is possible multiple times and people have straight up to me “you don’t understand how android security works - this is impossible”. Well, here we are…
Proton is not supporting MAGA.
Whatever you say, I guess. We didn’t read the same thing then.
How are you going to do that? I’m curious because I want to do the same and have email clients on multiple devices.
Sure, supporting MAGA is “way overblown”.
There’s nothing really wrong with substack. People just like to shit on anything that doesn’t pass whatever purity test they happen to use.
This is big problem in left-wing communities. They just can’t get along and demand purity in anything they do - except themselves. Left wingers will happily and harshly defend their use of whatever capitalist product they themselves use with a bunch of excuses that fan make your head spin. Apple users a great example thereof. They will disparage so many other products and companies but somehow Apple is their baby and immune to criticism.
123·8 days agoThe eternal problem of open source: people will happily pay for proprietary software and services, complain that open source isn’t ready. Then when it is, they will not donate a single cent to continue development but instead create passive aggressive posts and issues demanding features or shitting on the project.
It theoretically does but in practice, it doesn’t really. More information here. For some reason peertube decided to roll their own webtorrent alternative instead of build upon webtorrent 🤷
That explains why I never saw it 😐 I don’t understand why they would only add it in the web client. It’s just their website running in electron.

IPFS rant
I wanted IPFS to be successful 5 years ago. I wish it had been successful, but barely anything has changed. It’s a resource hog with a terrible UX. There’s nothing easy about it and the documentation is straight to “here’s our HTTP API”. Gee, thanks, what about the people who don’t want to immediately write an application?
Uh… Where do you get that it uses IPFS? I checked the seedit repo and it doesn’t seem to mention it in the dependencies nor readme.
This way, if the third party starts doing some bullshit like trying to lock me in, donating to a dickhead, or whatever else I disagree with, I can cancel my subscription, move to another third party, and keep all mails on my server.
I would like to be able to change providers and have the emails available on multiple devices.
IMAP allows multiple devices but leaves the emails on the server. POP pulls them from the server but that means they aren’t available to other devices anymore.
The solution (I think) is to pull using POP onto a shared server, then make the pulled emails available using IMAP.
Thank you for the original comment. Never read that opinion before. It must be difficult living with your intellect among us dumb mortals.
I’m forward thinking like that 😉
Does your POP mail client sync across android and Linux (3 devices BTW)? Do share it!
Their location is a pretty big problem given the direction the USA is going right now.
Bluesky can be taken over by a billionaire. The fediverse cannot. Bluesky is just another Musk waiting to happen.
Vivaldi? The closed source browser? How do you know it shares nothing?
