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.

Forest is a simple step counter that shows you the steps you did today, with a little extra info.

Doable is a tasks/reminders app. It's not the most feature rich, and notifications are only in beta, but I love the design and it does what I need well.

Data Monitor shows you how much data you've used in your current plan, and you can see which apps use the most data (or wifi).

Quillpad for notes.

LibreOffice Viewer lets you open word documents and the like.

Squawker lets you open Twitter links more privately, and even follow users to see all of their posts, but requires you log in with an account.

Breezy Weather is a really nice weather app.

Tbf there's a link to imdb on the first image

Yeah I usually like the Google boxes in search results, but this is so excessive. Everything after and including the polls is just completely unnecessary

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?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (3 children)

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.

I didn't know that was a controversial opinion? Do you think that Apple are as bad as Google or Meta in terms of privacy?

Apple does have privacy violations, but the things I've seen them get caught doing are minor compared to the things that many other companies do openly.

The main point of the article you've linked is that Apple put the equivalent of a "Do not track" option in a browser, and it did exactly the same of a "Do not track" option in a browser (nothing). Does that mean that any browser with a DNT request option is bad for privacy?

Adding an option that is somewhat misleading isn't ideal, but it's incomparable to something like Cambridge analytica incident, or the tracking that Google put basically everywhere on the Internet.

By the way, I am in no way defending Apple. I'm just saying that everything that Apple does, companies like Google and Meta also do, just ten times over.

I believe an iPhone is way better than a Pixel for privacy, even if both are far from ideal. I'd love to be proven wrong, tho.

Moshidon is really good for android. I especially like that you can have custom timelines for basically anything

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

If you mean live tracking like live location sharing then signal doesn't have that.

There's a location sharing feature in signal, but it just sends a Google maps link to a (non changing) location

This is a small 3D platformer in Celeste mountain, made by the Celeste team to celebrate Celeste's 6th anniversary!

It's on Windows, Linux, and Mac coming soon.

I'm excited to play it! What do you think of this?

Video: Geometry Dash official level 'Dash' from 8% to 21%. // The 1x speed portal at 10%, after the second spider section is skipped by letting go of the dash orb early. // The level continues at 3x speed. The music goes out of sync. In the section where you have to hit yellow blocks, a red block is hit but the player still survives because of the high speed. // The 2x speed portal at 15%, on the first swing portal, is skipped with a precise jump on the last platform. // The swing section is done at 3x speed, and the video continues until the slow speed portal where the gameplay rotates. // The gameplay is in practice mode and spliced.

The video loads pretty badly on some clients so here's a link!

 

The sale is on until the 28th of November. If you were thinking of buying Celeste, now is the time.

@Dolan: @RobTop do you still think you can make it in time?

RobTop: Unsure tbh. Server switch and bugfixing took much longer than expected. Still trying but there is a risk will have to push into November. Really dont want to but at the same time releasing something broken would be worse. We will see

I'm not surprised tbh

Thank you to Reddit u/Thunder9191133 for this post where I originally found how to do this glitch.

It's possible to glitch into grannie's house in Epilogue by skipping the cutscene at the same time that Madeline starts to walk into the house. Here's the most consistent way I found to do it:

  1. Go to Epilogue, and climb up the step to the left of Madeline.
  2. After she climbed up, hold left and almost immediately pause.

If Madeline walks into the house, you paused too late. Restart chapter and try again.

If you pause the game and see 'Retry', you paused too early. Retry and try again.

  1. If you pause the game and see 'Skip Cutscene', you did it! Now you can skip the cutscene, and you'll be in the house (but the cutscene will still be playing).
  2. Pause again, and press Retry.

That's it. Have fun in grannie's house!

Video showing the glitch

For some reason you can't grab or walljump on the walls of her house. There's not much to do in there, but it's interesting that it's possible.

Feel free to try it yourself! It will probably take a few tries, but it's not too difficult.

 

I just played this mod with a friend a few days ago, and it's pretty fun!

It's a multiplayer level where one person plays as Madeline who can dash, and the other plays as Theo who has a grappling hook ability. You help each other through screens, for example by moving blocks or pressing buttons.

It's online, so there's a bit of delay, but it works better than I expected! The different abilities for Madeline and Theo make the gameplay a lot more interesting than if it was just 2 Madelines. I recommend checking it out, even if just to see what it's like.

Also, here's some other multiplayer mods if you didn't see them before.

CelesteNet

Head 2 Head (Racing)

Madhunt (Hide and seek tag)

 

The beta for groups will release later this week, which won't be federated initially. Federation will be added afterwards.

Looks like it will have some interesting features like videos, polls, and events, as well as moderator tools like limiting what a user can do.

A menu in Pixelfed titled 'Limit Interactions' which shows that a moderator can prevent specific users from posting, commenting, or liking posts and comments.
