- Comment on The Great Migration to Bluesky Gives Me Hope for the Future of the Internet 14 hours ago:
Now normal people have a microblogging platform where they aren’t constantly having fascist propaganda shoved down their throats.
- Comment on The Great Migration to Bluesky Gives Me Hope for the Future of the Internet 14 hours ago:
Community-based platforms aren’t receiving as much attention because while Reddit is getting worse and worse, it has not reached the level of enshittification Twitter is at. Most people are still going to keep using it. Twitter on the other hand is reaching the point where huge amount of people are leaving, making alternative microblog platforms very relevant.

They aren’t being ignored. Bluesky has real moderation, they are being banned.
- Comment on The Great Migration to Bluesky Gives Me Hope for the Future of the Internet 14 hours ago:
A lot of the big accounts I follow have been reporting a huge loss in followers on Twitter and an even larger influx of followers on Bluesky.

Even better, thanks!

Never thought to look for an extension for that. Thanks for mentioning it.
- Comment on iPhone 16 is here, but I’m hyped for just one reason: RCS on iOS 18 2 months ago:
That is only on rooted roms and ones using MicroG. GrapheneOS is generally not rooted and uses Google Play Services by sandboxing it. I am using RCS on my Pixel 7 running GrapheneOS.
- Comment on iPhone 16 is here, but I’m hyped for just one reason: RCS on iOS 18 2 months ago:
It does work on GrapheneOS, but you need to have Google Play Services installed.
- Comment on iPhone 16 is here, but I’m hyped for just one reason: RCS on iOS 18 2 months ago:
Every android that has Google Play services has RCS, they just need Google Messages to use it.
- Comment on Google Gemini might soon handle your WhatsApp calls, notifications, and more (APK teardown) 2 months ago:
On CalyxOS my double press opens the Google Camera. I think because I disabled the default camera app.
- Comment on Proton is transitioning towards a non-profit structure | Proton 2 months ago:
That’s some wild slippery slope fallacy. Privacy respecting AI was a highly requested feature, whether you wanted it or not.
How does them adding an AI mail assistant that is completely private lead to them eventually not being privacy respecting? These things have nothing to do with each other.
- Comment on Proton is transitioning towards a non-profit structure | Proton 2 months ago:
I’ve been using Protonmail as my primary address for a few years now. I’m yet to have a single spam email make it to my inbox. In comparison, I use my gmail less and I’ve had a few blatant crypto scams make it to my inbox.
- Comment on Proton is transitioning towards a non-profit structure | Proton 2 months ago:
Yep, the browser extensions also have an encrypted cache, although it is less consistent imo. I’ve had times where my server was down and the extension just completely logged out then couldn’t authenticate so I couldn’t access the cache.
- Comment on Mandalorian 2 months ago:
Its not the real quote, but also this episode is titled Frowning Friends, so you’re right that this scene has less smiling than most.
- Comment on Custom ROMs have had just about enough of being Android's second-class citizens 2 months ago:
I’m aware, I assumed being able to install sandboxed Google services would allow Google Wallet to work, unlike on CalyxOS, but I might be wrong.
- Comment on Custom ROMs have had just about enough of being Android's second-class citizens 2 months ago:
Oh interesting, I didn’t know that’s how GrapheneOS handles Google services. I’d love to have working NFC pay and RCS, so I’m going to have to take a look at it, thanks for sharing!
- Comment on Custom ROMs have had just about enough of being Android's second-class citizens 2 months ago:
Interesting. Do you have Google services installed? I use MicroG, which afaik has no RCS support.
- Comment on Custom ROMs have had just about enough of being Android's second-class citizens 2 months ago:
I love running a custom ROM, but I’m concerned RCS is going to become a deal break for me :(
I love that text messaging will finally not be complete shit between iOS and Android, but RCS is such a shitty locked down protocol.
- Comment on Proton mail launches LLM and crypto wallet 3 months ago:
This backend uses the Proton-API-Bridge, which is based on go-proton-api, a fork of the official repo.
According to that page there was an official API library, provided by Proton. They forked it and added features, it didn’t need to be reverse engineered.
- Comment on Proton mail launches LLM and crypto wallet 3 months ago:
They didn’t have to reverse engineer the drive API. Proton created an open source library to use their API, which was forked to integrate with Proton-API-Bridge, so that apps could easily use it.
- Comment on Frustrated by School Web Filters, One Teenager Created His Own. 3 months ago:
This is genuinely really cool. I worked IT at a school for a bit, and for anyone who doesn’t know, having a good web filter is extremely important for legal reasons. The people in charge of implementing it can get into a lot of trouble if it’s done improperly, hence why they always seem to block things so aggressively.
All of the current offering are complete garbage, with Lightspeed being the worst offender. An open source alternative could do a lot of good. I hope this kid is successful.
- Comment on Proton Now Has a Bitcoin Wallet 3 months ago:
It only supports Bitcoin? Really absurd choice. The demographic of people using Proton services, using cryptocurrency, and only holding Bitcoin has to be pretty damn small…
- Comment on Proton releases a self-custody bitcoin wallet | Proton Wallet is open source and has been audited by a third-party firm, the company said 3 months ago:
I really didn’t see anyone asking for this, hopefully it didn’t take too many resources to create. Even though I don’t understand it being made I’ll probably still switch to it, because Exodus feels like it’s getting more and more bloated and annoying to use.
- Comment on Proton releases a self-custody bitcoin wallet | Proton Wallet is open source and has been audited by a third-party firm, the company said 3 months ago:
Genuinely wondering, what features are you talking about? Proton has a page for voting for features, and I feel like I’m regularly seeing features I voted on get added.
Linux client is the biggest one I’m waiting for, but AFAIK they’ve said it’s planned, and I appreciate the support for Rclone in the meantime.

I don’t think doing this means they aren’t working on their other offerings. Both Drive and Pass have recieved very highly requested features in the past couple weeks.

I don’t think it will hurt them, because I think the majority of Proton users want exactly what you didn’t. There are lots of options for email using your domain, but I don’t know of any cloud suite providers that respect your privacy like Proton does.
Also, I am surprised that with the amount of different plans they offer none do what you wanted well. I thought they had a family plan for just mail without the other services, but they only have a business one and $7 per user is not a great price.
- Comment on Signal downplays encryption key flaw, fixes it after X drama 4 months ago:
Yeah they are, this problem is super overblown. Weirdly I’ve seen articles about this coming up for other apps too, like the ChatGPT app for MacOS storing conversation history in plain text on the device. Weird that this is suddenly a problem.
If someone wants better security, the can use full disk encryption and encrypt their home directory and unlock it on login.
- Comment on Signal under fire for storing encryption keys in plaintext on desktop app 4 months ago:
it is true that they do not integrate with widgets and theming, but that’s not exclusive to electron. GTK apps don’t follow system widgets, nor will they follow theming on non-gtk desktops. I do also prefer desktop apps not be written in electron for the performance reasons you mentioned.
- Comment on Signal under fire for storing encryption keys in plaintext on desktop app 4 months ago:
Electron is capable of having just as good integration with the system as native applications. It’s just that a lot of people are not optimizing these cross platform apps to have optimal integration with them. Electron has the safeStorage API that allows you to use kwallet or GNOME Keyring to securely store information. I believe both Discord and Spotify use this on Linux.
