Sincere warning to all #Android users: Do NOT format your SD card as internal storage! Always choose “use as portable storage” when being asked by the system!

My #Fairphone 3 offers only 64 GB for app installations, and I was running out of space, so I had no choice but to extend the internal storage by formatting the #MicroSD card such that apps could be installed on it too: https://support.google.com/android/answer/12153449

However, several major issues made the phone basically unusable:

#TIL Intl.NumberFormat with compact notation doesn't work for thousands in German language.

E.g.: 10000 → 10.000 instead of "10 Tsd.". But, 10000000 → "10 Mio."

I guess "Tsd." doesn't really compact it much unlike English's "10K" 🤷‍♂️

Relevant research: https://github.com/dart-lang/i18n/issues/156#issuecomment-1513218006

@cheeaun As a German native speaker, I don't think I've ever seen the abbreviation “Tsd.” being used anywhere 🤔🤷 “Mio.” for million and “Mrd.” for milliard (= billion) are very common though.

Sorry, I'm not convinced. 😬

The Unity logo is also a three-dimensional cube similar to the DPD one.
The logo of crates.io once again is a three-dimensional box shape.

Standardmäßig ist Firefox leider nicht besonders datenschutzfreundlich. Wer nicht die Einstellungen durchsuchen möchte und sich nicht bei jeder neuen Version Sorgen über neue Funktionen von Mozilla machen will, kann auf Alternativen zurückgreifen. Zum Beispiel für den Desktop und für Android. Beide Varianten entfernen unter anderem die Telemetrie-Funktionen.

Who has to recognize Palestine as a state for you personally to recognize Palestine as a state?

#EvanPoll #poll

pixelcode,
@pixelcode@social.tchncs.de avatar

@evan I find the question quite weird because we're all just citizens, and as such we can't “recognise” a state – we can only demand our governments to do so. If your question was whether we think that it is a state, my answer would be no, as it lacks a proper government and sovereignty.

Taiwan, on the other hand, de-facto is IMO a state, as it has a functioning government and considerable sovereignty. The fact that it isn't recognised by the int'l community doesn't influence my view.

@shalien @tfunken There must be no “neutrality” (approval) when it comes to the destruction of democracy, the deportation of non-Aryans, reeducation camps for political opponents or a ban on public-service broadcasting. What do you think will happen when we apply net neutrality to those whose first action in power would be to abolish net neutrality?

I thought we had long since left behind us the stage of “tolerance for intolerance”...

The were a dark time when people considered the Earth to be flat, when the church suppressed enlightenment and when science stagnated as a result of conflict with religious beliefs.

If that sounds similar to your own views of history, then you should probably urgently watch this video by on which corrects several misconceptions and points out downright disinformation: https://nebula.tv/videos/thepresentpast-why-the-medieval-flat-earth-myth-wont-die/

Some of my posts have been deleted by the moderators of musicians.today because they “contain misinformation about the Israel-Hamas war.“ My „misinformation“ was to write, that there is no black and white and that it is wrong to blame only and that the is a organisation that is openly promoting a genocide on .
When I asked the moderators, what‘s wrong about my posts, they answered, they don‘‘t want to get into details.

Making message deniability more plausible.

Cryptographic repudiation provides, at least technically, a plausible deniability to senders' whose confidentiality was betrayed by the recipients.

I wrote before what we added to improve deniability: https://www.reddit.com/r/SimpleXChat/comments/1al1emd/improving_repudiation_deniability_in_simplex/

So, we're considering to add two features:

  • ability to create received messages on your device from any contact (effectively, to fake them).
  • ability to send signed messages that cannot be faked.

What do you think about it:

pixelcode,
@pixelcode@social.tchncs.de avatar

@simplex I'm very much in favour of being able to sign messages so that their authenticity can be checked, because that allows users to agree upon firm pledges and commitments.

On the other hand, the cryptographic possibility that an unsigned message has been faked is integral to deniability, which is important to have in cases where the sender doesn't trust the recipient, but in practical terms, you should not actively encourage users to fake conversations, simply for reasons of social custom.

@Tutanota I registered a free account after reading a @heiseonline article that outlined Tuta's E2EE. After a while, I decided to buy a domain for my inbox, and because back then, Tuta offered the cheapest custom-domain plan among all E2EE services known to me, I chose to upgrade.

When the price was tripled, I seriously considered switching to a provider with interoperable E2EE (e.g. Mailbox.org, same price), but extended my plan until 2026 thanks to the one-time discount for prior customers.

@MagicLike Does he actually think that having to remove the battery with chemicals because it's glued into the frame is “almost as repairable” as literally just Fairphone-style popping it out by hand? 🤡

When will people finally understand that

  • Fairphone isn't just “another phone” but another way of producing phones
  • Fairphones aren't overpriced — many other phones are underpriced
  • as-thin-as-possible isn't compatible with top sustainability etc. etc. 🙄

I have really no understanding for 's decision not to let us use the app on secondary mobile devices, like it's possible with WhatsApp on tablets. The fact that the independent client has already implemented that feature shows that it's not a technical issue but a design decision. Just try out @mollyim, it's awesome! 😎

@danie10 The SIM card doesn't really have much to do with that, because when you install Molly on your Android tablet, you can choose to link it to your existing Signal installation by scanning a QR code with your phone, just like you would when linking your desktop computer. In that scenario, Molly basically pretends to be a desktop computer despite looking and behaving like the original Signal version.
