whoa, I installed Android Studio, did all that, waited a bunch and it… worked? just like that? is that what you computer people do with computers at work? do I apply for a six figure job now?

it’s already in Arch’s stable repos.
Shame you can’t try.before you buy
or at least buy it outside Play Store.
yes, then it got rejected, and now another iteration is about to be voted on on June 20, 2024 https://digitalcourage.social/@echo_pbreyer/112637908478562409
not automatically, but it’s fairly uncomplicated. you click on the extension icon and then a reload button next to the service that you’re accessing, and it’ll try accessing the page through another instance.
there’s also LibRedirect, which covers many more services: https://libredirect.github.io/
okay, but that’s not relevant to what I’m talking about here.
good luck getting everyone you know to communicate with you with “software from GitHub or F-Droid or something”. I’m having a hard time making people try out Signal, which is freely available on the major app stores (and which, by the way, has declared that they’ll leave the EU market if one device scanning will be enforced on them).
nope, they’ll vote on it again in the few weeks. if it passes, e2ee messengers will be required to scan images on device before sending them. you will be able to not agree to that, but then you won’t be able to send or receive media and links, only text.
Mansplaining as a Service
other than basic text chat, what else does WA offer these days?
group chats, reactions, sending files, voice messages, voice and video calls
hey, it’s that guy from that thing!
I resent my experience being made worse by reading this
if the software is good and works to your benefit, why not use it?
sometimes people just don’t feel comfortable using work of someone who opposes their rights. even just using the product gives the creator more exposure, recognition, possible funding in the future if it gets big enough, and so on. so, if the creator is openly transphobic, for example, trans folks won’t want to use the product, and doubly so when the community around the product is toxic, too. they’re voting with their feet.
I wish Google hadn’t closed the loophole that let you replace the default share sheet. there used to be an app that would work as one and remove the tracking garbage upon pressing the Share button in any app.
Gadgetbridge is apparently going to support some of their devices in upcoming versions https://gadgetbridge.org/gadgets/wearables/garmin/
