lemann,

I like this, but would really prefer if Google works with the GSMA to get these implemented into the actual RCS specs, rather than using specially crafted proprietary RCS messages to add features to RCS (like they have done for E2EE)

lemann,

@Rentlar pretty much explained the issue.

Would suggest asking these questions in the dedicated community for selfhosters, who’d be able to point you to specific tools and things you can use to populate your instance with new data from across lemmy !selfhosted

Edit: fix community link

lemann,

A lot of jQuery’s features are now available in native JS - would also suggest just using native JS anyway because jQuery won’t throw any errors into the console if a selector matches no elements etc.

The only additional library I’ve needed recently for (personal work) is Axios for requests - easier than working with the Fetch API in some cases

lemann,

For me it’s the ability to set up a shared instance with the base request URL, and set headers for things like the user’s token, allowing all requests made with that shared Axios instance to be sent to the right path with the token without needing to define them for each individual request.

To be honest though something similar can be done with spread syntax in the Fetch API’s options parameter

lemann,

Of course its Admiral AAB 😭

Does safari have a reader mode you can use to bypass it? I use a FF extension that allows me to disable all scripts on a page when I come across junk like this.

Alternatively just chuck the link into Wayback or archive.is

lemann,

it’s got telemetry on by default.

Very, very hard pass. Might even blow out my suspension doing so

lemann,

The design reminds me a lot of a Tern GSD. I’d be scared to leave this in public though because of the price 🤯

lemann,

Wow 😂

Personally I prefer the consumer-friendly RTR ebikes be restricted OOTB. Having people fly past you on the sidewalk riding 45km/h, without a ding of the bell or any warning, is not nice 😭

People who DIY an unrestricted setup usually tend to go fast on the road, probably because they know what power they’ve got between their legs lol

lemann,

What a compact thing, also charges to full in just 3 hours from a normal outlet 🤯

lemann,

It’s not natively supported by the base RCS standard, in the section at the end of the paper in the section titled “Third Party RCS Clients” Google explains that they’ve built the e2ee their Messages app themselves, (on top of standard RCS).

A developer has to use Google’s implementation specifically in order to send and recieve e2ee messages to Google’s Messages app (and Samsung Messages who also implemented this recently)

Although the e2ee implementation is using the Signal protocol under the hood, it’s for message content only - this is what is transmitted in cleartext (taken from the paper)

  • Phone numbers of senders and recipients
  • Timestamps of the messages
  • IP addresses or other connection information
  • Sender and recipient’s mobile carriers
  • SIP, MSRP, or CPIM headers, such as User-Agent strings which may contain device manufacturers and models
  • Whether the message has an attachment
  • The URL on content server where the attachment is stored
  • Approximated size of messages, or exact size of attachments

Without using this implementation of the Signal protocol on top of RCS, the message will deliver to the contact’s phone, but shows up as unencrypted garbled text

That is a very useful resource though, never knew there was a paper available on the implementation. Saving 😁

Does Google still hold contact data after deleting from Google Contacts? (libranet.de)

I am in the process of moving out some contacts from Google Contacts, specifically those that I do not have a Gmail address. It's a way for me to give these people a tiny bit more privacy, as I'm doing a cleanup of my contact list. My concern is that Google will still keep their data even after I delete it from my end. Is it so?...

lemann,

Not directly an answer to your question, but this is a really nice gesture. I’d appreciate it a ton personally

lemann,

pretty questionable for a YouTuber to put a plug for their sponsor as the frontmost text when many of us use sponsorblock to actively avoid seeing such content

Extremely common 🤷‍♂️… also, whether we use sponsorblock or not is completely irrelevant to the contents of a video description IMO.

Probably better for you to avoid youtube creators who rely on sponsors’ income to completely avoid any form of advertising. Even the sponsorblock timestamps don’t block off-hand sponsor mentions within a video

lemann,

You are seeing Lemmy’s auto generated description, which is pulled directly from YouTube.

Not the text content of OP’s post.

lemann,

Pile on more layers of clothing. If things are really bad then I just bail to public transit

lemann,

This is what I use. Also supports exporting/importing data to and from Gnome Authenticator so you have 2FA on your computer too 👍

lemann,

I use FreeOTP+ and it requires biometrics to open

lemann,

They’re adopting the RCS protocol, that’s what people should want

Standard RCS is not e2ee, only google’s implementation on top of it is. I feel most here would prefer an e2ee messaging protocol over something else that can be observed by third parties

Samsung is the only other company that integrated Google’s e2ee implementation into their stock messages app fairly recently, it’s supported standard RCS for a good number of years now

lemann,

Then use ANY other messaging service. Preferably Signal,

🤩

but if that doesn’t work… Facebook, Whatsapp, literally anything.

So Facebook, or Facebook? That might work for most people, but when there’s an open protocol right there, I’d rather steer clear of their products and services

Edit: add quotes

lemann,

48k subs and only 3 mods is quite the ratio difference, think they’re probably sleeping too depending on their timezone

(The other mod accounts look like alts and bots)

lemann,

At the moment we’re kind of like sitting ducks until something happens again IMO. I recall reading something on the Techlore forums about someone helping out with the server maintenance for lemmy.one, so maybe that’s been happening in the background?

An update from him would be nice at least though.

If I was to jump to another instance it would probably be dbzer0 or programming.dev

lemann,

Yes please. Very frustrating encountering businesses and groups that only have a presence on facebook, no dedicated website or anything 😒

lemann,

Element has added so much to Matrix that the barrier for even making an MVP app is a bit intimidating IMO

lemann,

OP’s username is quite fitting here lol.

I would’ve done the same 🤷‍♂️ people probably just want to get from A to B quickly and cheaply. A car in a city like Paris is neither of those

As a bonus though, at least there’s more people getting some exercise compared to practically none on the scooter

lemann,

BTRFS has encryption now? Yay!! I have been wrapping it inside a LUKS partition for years at this point…

lemann,

I’m sorry to say this but, your way of picking software is wrong. You should always look for the open source software first, then use proprietary software.

I agree here, this is what I generally do nowadays. The exception for me is only software that I’ve been using for years, such as Plex and Niagara - finding an open source alternative for a proprietary solution is the easy part, the hard part is actually making it fit into your workflow.

This is why I’ve settled on just jumping ship to an open source option when the existing proprietary option is no longer fit for purpose (hackable, “transparent” etc) because of the time sink.

Niagara to Kvaesitso was really easy though, thanks to that developer and contributors absolutely knocking it out the park with the amazing search and UX.

But using Plex when Jellyfin exists is just wrong. I personally have a jellyfin instance, and there’s nothing jellyfin can’t do when compared to Plex.

Jellyfin is great, particularly for us and tech enthusiasts. For non-techies though, the first hurdle of different clients for mobile/desktop/insert-platform-here is a very tough sell (each with a slightly different UX, rearranged settings etc) and is even trickier when there are no apps available for games consoles and some smart TVs. I share my Plex server with my partner and parents, so moving to something else seems like more trouble than its worth at the moment.

Regardless I do have my eye on Jellyfin (and particularly the music apps like Finamp, since that is my personal primary use case for Plex) - for TV libraries and Movies the gap is closing fast, I believe the only major thing that is missing is the “Skip intro/outro” on some of the clients, but for music sadly the gap is only widening. It’s very much a watch-this-space type thing though as the community catches up, but I feel the sonic analysis in Plexamp and the many features built on top of that are going to take a lot of volunteer time to replicate

Encouraging proprietary software makes them stronger and erodes our rights. Like using chrome instead of Firefox is voting for a future where remote device attestation and forced DRM is a normal thing. Do you want the corps to eradicate your free will?

I agree.

With remote attestation sadly we are already there on Android: most apps require GMS even when they don’t need it, and some paranoid non-banking apps unnecessarily call Google’s attestation API, and subsequently block some actions if your device doesn’t pass.

I personally run a rooted device for full control over app backups, my device’s BMS, and various other stuff - where possible I pretty much use open source& source-available apps, as well as browser shortcuts and PWAs, where I have the freedom to perform any desired action without being restricted by any attestation. My partner has a very keen interest in the freedom offered and is actually very annoyed at the state of things on modern Android - but sadly the attestation issues and Samsung Knox in particular are big showstoppers (I use an FP3, so no “security void” hardware fuses here)
