I don’t agree with most of these comments, except for the swipe down with two fingers. But it still looks like it’s early in development, and it’ll be a while until Android 16. I don’t think they’d make a two finger gesture the only way to access quick settings, especially from an accessibility standpoint. They’ll probably change it.

Current stock android quick settings suck. So much wasted space. Changing some settings is inconvenient. It looks quite bad, especially the brightness slider. And editing the tiles is currently extremely slow, difficult and janky.

This change improves the looks. The number of tiles per page is changed from 8 to 12/16. Toggling WiFi or Bluetooth on/off will now take only one tap instead of three. Editing tiles looks smooth and easy.

This isn’t change for the sake of change, this is a fix for one of Android’s weakest points.

Sideloading is quite bad. If you’re in the EU, I know you can use AltStore PAL, which costs money (~€1.50 a year), but all you’ll be getting is emulators, virtual machines, clipboard managers, and torrent clients.

There is another method for sideloading that works anywhere and lets you download modified apps, but it is very limited, tedious, and probably insecure. I’ve done it, it’s not worth it. Better to stay on android or use a browser with adblock or something.

I don’t think iOS has any specific limits to do with NSFW stuff, I’ve never heard of anything anyways.

Pirating games is probably not going to be worth it either since you have to sideload apps with the second method.

Other types of piracy are probably fine. If you have AltStore PAL you can get a torrent client and an emulator.

Microsoft was claiming that the data would be inaccessible to hackers (which is not true).

Signal claimed the exact opposite: that once it’s on your computer, messages can be seen by malicious programs on your computer.

Signal was caught having less than ideal security. Microsoft was caught lying.

You can only do that for your own messages though. I’m guessing the messages from the prostitutes would be more than enough for the wife to notice.

Also I think the window is longer than 3 hours. Maybe a day?

Signal also has a similar problem. If you choose the “delete for me” option, it only deletes it on one device and leaves it on the others, last time I checked.

He would have to set up disappearing messages aswell.

For me the biggest selling point of e-ink is for reading late at night. Since it’s not backlit it’s better for sleep, I think? Easier on the eyes, anyways.

If RCS is end to end encrypted, and doesn’t use messaging fees, then every reason they decided to drop sms is no longer valid, except for needing to spend more time developing it.

I doubt they’ll add it even if they did have the option, but it’s not ridiculous that they could.

I’m 99% sure that signal isn’t peer to peer. Afaik all messages go through signal’s servers, but they’re end to end encrypted so the server can’t see message contents, or who the messages are coming from.

The only thing that’s peer to peer are calls, but you can turn on ‘Always relay calls’ from settings to relay them through Signal’s servers.

If you go to the View Safety Number page of a chat, you’ll see that they’re changing the safety numbers. Here’s the explanation they gave.

I’m glad to see progress is being made! I wonder if after usernames are added people will use it to message people on the internet, like discord is used.

OP is a Mastodon user.

Mastodon doesn’t actually have communities built in, so if you want to post in a Lemmy community you have to @ the community. (That means that there’s a decent chance this post was an accident, since linking to a community and posting to a community is the same on mastodon)

I don’t have sync on and I can use magic eraser, portrait light, etc.

I never saw the option for photo unblur. Idk if that’s because I’m on a Pixel 6A, because it never recognized a photo as blurry, or because I have sync off.

I think that for posts to federate to another instance, there needs to be at least 1 subscriber from that instance.

If you’re willing to go through the pain of sideloading on iOS and you’re ok with giving a random app your Google account, uYou+ is pretty good.

I’m not able to install the app, anyone know why this could be happening?
