#App developers, is there an easy way to securely share sensitive data (eg. login credentials) locally between two #apps on the same device? And if not, what about non-sensitive data (like how the #SimpleApps or whatever they're called now share themes)? 🔏

Basically it's a family of apps with a common login and we're trying to avoid the user having to log in separately on each one. We're using #Capacitor, if that matters ⚙️

(If all this was on #Mobian it'd be so simple 😑)

#PSA for #India #IncomeTax filing:

If the e-filing portal insists that you "Please correct the error below" without indicating any error, it might be to do with your address. Especially if there's something about a failed address regex in the console.

Going to the profile settings and updating it fixed it for me.

(And yes, they changed the rules, so you might have to file a different form than what you were filing earlier)

#BoostsAppreciated especially if you know Indian peeps

Does need a more public-friendly term? People wouldn't understand email either, if you told them "please contact me through SMTP"

Yes we have , but that's not very self-explanatory. Maybe we need a more descriptive term like: e-chat?

Not to be confused with the Ethiopian Oppressed People's Revolutionary Struggle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echat

(Or actually, why not 😉)

@tennoseremel fair enough if we're talking app level, but you can't just download and install "the Jabber app". What we're trying to sell is the entire concept of federation, etc., which I think might be easier if we say "they're compatible with e-chat. Like y'know, with e-mail but for chat?"

(Not saying it's a silver bullet or anything of course but it might be worth a try?)

it feels a bit silly to come up with a whole Label System when i currently have a total of two (2) small cartons of production stuff. but seems better to start doing it earlier than i need than later than i need

@jacqueline if I found it fun, I would totally come up with a whole Label System even if I had just two (2) cartons to manage 🏷️

@strypey that is such a cool list! Good to know there are so many search engines out there, whatever their strengths and weaknesses 💪

@Seirdy

@badrihippo@fosstodon.org avatar

@strypey "When talking to search engine founders, I found that the biggest obstacle to growing an index is getting blocked by sites. Cloudflare is one of the worst offenders. Too many sites block perfectly well-behaved crawlers, only allowing major players like Googlebot, BingBot, and TwitterBot; this cements the current duopoly over English search and is harmful to the health of the Web as a whole."

is annoying! It sometimes blocks me too 🙄

Of late, has been blocking all requests off the bat and I've decided to treat that as a feature 🦇

I use :) But I have an ebook reader running with display. But that's not my mobile phone.

Edit:

And the only reason it's Android, is because there is no good hardware on the market running else OS.

@farooqkz I'm using too! But wondering whether to get an device for the few things like need apps like cab booking and payments (so unlike you it will be partially a phone). Of course if I can get those apps onto KaiOS that would be even better...

I noticed today that when most people get to from a table, they push back the chair & walk away, leaving the chair right there. It makes for messy rooms & many stubbed toes.

A simple act of consideration would be to put things back. Like shutting doors that you open.

badrihippo,
@badrihippo@fosstodon.org avatar

@ideasmithy I got into the habit of leaving doors in the same state (open or shut) as I found them after reading the story in Adventures on Willow Farm where a visitor from the city forgets to close the gate and the horses(?) all run away 🐴

Damn, I think oulipo.social is down. My assumption is that it is just transitory. I don't usually post so much on my Oulipo account but I wish for its continuation as quirky constant of mastodon.

Hello everyone!

I use Xubuntu and try to go the way as much as possible :duckduckgo: :gimp: :firefox: :xubuntu: :fdroid: :nextcloud:

I've been using Diaspora and the Friendica for a while—now decided to give Mastodon a go!

Also trying to get my friends to join the (though that's a slow process 😕).

@farooqkz good point! That post was long ago when I didn't fully understand the nuances between and , and I guess also crept in somewhere 😅

I should write a new intro, actually 🖋️

is my default for the moment (not open source I know) but I incidentally stumbled upon @Seirdy's search engines post just yesterday, so I'm exploring those too!
