- Comment on I still don’t think companies serve you ads based on spying through your microphone 4 weeks ago:
Apps still need mic permissions to do so. Many Android ROMs include notices when the mic is being used, it would be very easy to tell if an app was actually doing this.
- Comment on Looking for advice for media server storage expansion 4 weeks ago:
I didn’t know that case could fit that many drives! I’m a fan of Fractal Designs cases, have used and recommended them for a few gaming PCs before. Thanks for the recommendation!
- Comment on Looking for advice for media server storage expansion 4 weeks ago:
I hadn’t really looked into SAS drives, but that sounds like a great option. $5/TB is awesome!
- Comment on Looking for advice for media server storage expansion 4 weeks ago:
I wasn’t aware of these! I’ll need to check when I have a chance, but I’m fairly sure there’s an open slot, thanks!
- Comment on Looking for advice for media server storage expansion 4 weeks ago:
That’s a great suggestion, thank you! I looked at a few cases with more drive space but didn’t see any this inexpensive.

- Comment on What's Mastodon precious? 2 months ago:
Bluesky is such a huge improvement over twitter and so many people are just ignoring that. Yes, the app is centralized, but you can still host your own data if you choose. Plus, the customizable feeds, algorithms, and moderation lists are all great.
- Comment on The Great Migration to Bluesky Gives Me Hope for the Future of the Internet 2 months 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 2 months 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.
- Comment on The Great Migration to Bluesky Gives Me Hope for the Future of the Internet 2 months ago:
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 2 months 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 4 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 4 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 4 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) 5 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 5 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 5 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.

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.

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 5 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 5 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 5 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 5 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 6 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 6 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. 6 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 6 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…
