I haven’t used; but I’ve also heard of sprays with a bitter taste to make cat’s not want to chew on things.

The really high tech nonces have starting using TLS

I’m aware those referenced in the article are almost certainly not doing this, but for clarity’s sake SimpleX can be self hosted.

Genuinely probably because he got to be a billionaire in an insanely lucky deal, I feel like that’s the only way you can stay (relatively) down to Earth with that much cash.

Fedora. Specifically I’ve been using Silverblue recently, very stable system for me.

Thats a weird way to say the industry’s been releasing shitty games.

Using Fedora Sway Atomic has been the most consistent Linux experience I’ve had.

Never noticed, but that is actually insane. I would prefer it to match my phone’s current theme, surely they’ll add that eventually.

As far as I can tell, I can rotate the feed screens to landscape AND rotates if I turn my phone (Pixel 6) 𝛑.

Might’ve changed in the last week or something, check if you need an update!

Best way I know of is to share them to Grayjay, and then add it to Grayjay one by one. I don’t think there’s a way of exporting them quicker than that.

This is what I use (with zsh):

yt-audio() {
	   yt-dlp --no-playlist -f 'ba' -x --audio-format mp3 $1
}
yt-audio-playlist() {
	   yt-dlp -f 'ba' -x --audio-format mp3 $1
}

It takes the best quality available and downloads it to mp3.

If you mean disable it entirely, I don’t get that warning at alli

I do exactly this for downloading music, I aliased my preferred options to ‘yt-audio’

And the hardware is great IMO. Pixel 6 was my first Pixel after only buying iPhones, and I swear the thing survives so much abuse. (Although I heard the 6 in particular had many issues, I love mine)

Seems to me (and that doesn’t mean much) to be the most secure / well updated option. GrapheneOS on a Pixel runs GREAT for me, I honestly expected a buggy experience from a custom ROM.

Also, my grandmother could install it (this was especially enticing, I was worried about having to flash an OS, didn’t want to brick a phone).

You get a lot of flexibility when it comes to installing Google Play Services. What I do is install any app that needs gplay services to a separate user profile with them installed.

I honestly don’t have any cons, I’m completely satisfied with it, I can’t see myself switching back to an iOS device or trying stock Android.

I can think of two cons, although they don’t bother me (not sure if this applies to every ROM available):

You miss out on some features / apps that come with stock android, such as AI features.

AOSP apps are installed out of the box, but aren’t wonderful for day-to-day use IMO. I recommend Fossify and You Apps

Pixel with GrapheneOS for me.

+1, displaying in a Emacs buffer solves any issues I could have. If you’re already ‘in’ Emacs, this will be more frictionless than shell scripts around man

My bad, v tired when I replied. That is an interesting feature the only similar solution I can think of is using something like Fossify Dialer (a fork of the now ad-ridden and proprietary Simple Dialer) and use T9 dialing. That could achieve a similar speed / memorization as a gesture.

You could definitely get good enough at T9 to at least call people without looking at the screen.

Just tried it and really enjoyed, but the contact sources just don’t seem to work? Two options, one from sms and one from com.android.contacts, and neither are correct (missing / duplicate contacts). Confused as to why the dialer can’t just pull from my contacts like every other dialer, or I’d probably switch!

I use fossify dialer, not familiar with Drupe, but works well for me.
