  Hi thanks for the suggestion, do you mean they have a free trial or is there also a free tier that doesn’t expire?

  A software’s website and docs are very telling, aren’t they? It’s like a cultural thing from the creators, some open source software will always be more business oriented, others are more helpful towards homelab /self-hosting users.

  Thanks good to know

  Many car “keys” are wireless tokens nowadays (tbf I’m not sure of the security compared to traditional keys, I only heard some brands like Kias were very easy to steal in the last few years).

  Mostly we want a million buttons with tactile feedback, I’m with OP! I would also like an EV “econobox”: a sensible shitty boxy lightweight car with a small LiFePo4 battery that charges fast. Spend 100$ more dollars on the charger and cooling goddammit, or make THAT upgradable!

  Or at least setup a redirect rule to one that you do check

  Many ways to install it officially nowadays (see their website) but most do it via docker. A very easy albeit unoffical way is via flatpak.

  Also site is slightly broken on Webview sans javascript (Privacy Browser): the little 8-bit white clouds (that move with JS on) partially cover every paragraph

  There’s also “Open in Whatsapp” which has been around for 5 years, I’ve used it for all this time actually, I stopped giving Whatsapp access to my contacts around the time I was degoogling, plus I keep it installed in the work profile (Shelter), where I purposefully don’t sync my personal addressbook. So this type of apps is very handy for a couple different scenarios:

  • you need to contact someone you have no interest in saving the contact of forever (plumber, guy on craigslist, etc)
  • you want to contact a person you haven’t talked to in a long while (otherwise you could just search their name within whatsapp) of which you have the number somewhere else

  All in all you save time mostly, and potentially give a little less to Meta.
