Custom ROM Support Just Got a Lot Worse on Google Pixel Phones

Welcome to the RB family, Aegis 🥳

Aegis Authenticator is a free, secure and open source app to manage your 2-step verification tokens for your online services.

Thanks to the help of the Aegis team, the app is now finally RB – expect the green shield coming up in a few hours :awesome:

@hisold That was exactly the reasoning I approached the Aegis team with 🤣 And yes, I'm with you there. And we try that. It's just not exactly trivial for each app to get it RB, and also depends on the frameworks used. In general, apps written in Java/Kotlin are easy to RB (with some exceptions), Flutter is a little tricky, React can become a headache, and so on. We're doing our best – and we hope to reach 50% coverage soon™ (currently we're at 47.5%).

Northern lights may be visible in these 18 US states tonight and over the weekend
"The northern lights could put on a show tonight and through the weekend as ongoing geomagnetic storm conditions driven by turbulent space weather may push aurora farther south than usual."

Sabrina Carpenter's new album cover is causing a lot of outraged, prudish reactions. Worse, people are using feminism as their excuse.

But her campy sexpot act is good for women — and feminism is not helped by rejecting humor or lust.

How Big Tech Exploits Apps to Circumvent Privacy Laws

🇩🇪Den EU-finanzierten DNS-Dienst #DNS4EU kann ich nicht empfehlen, weil Zugriffe protokolliert werden - bei "schädlichen Inhalten" sogar mitsamt IP-Adresse. techradar.com/vpn/vpn-privacy-…

Es gibt gute nichtstaatliche Alternativen: privacy-handbuch.de/handbuch_9…

in reply to Patrick Breyer

🇬🇧I can't recommend the EU-funded DNS service #DNS4EU because access is logged. When you override warnings to access "harmful websites" they even log your IP address. techradar.com/vpn/vpn-privacy-…

There are government-free services that do not log: privacyguides.org/en/dns

Update: I understand now the IP address is kept for 24 hours to prevent the confirmation prompt from showing again.

lol, i too have this problem. somewhere down i believe that if i read the manual page in some different light, some understanding might dawn on me (NATed peer should matter?) but i have yet to make sense of it.

wgpka interval
Set the interval of persistent keepalive packets in seconds. The default, zero, disables these. They can be used to maintain connectivity to a peer otherwise blocked to unsolicited traffic by an intermediate firewall or NAT device.

Although I’m offering a FOUNDINGMEMBERS discount to those who join the PWO Community by June 30, you won’t hear me calling us “members.”

We’re not building a club.

We’re building a community of Co-Conspirators.

Let me explain why.

But first, let me say plainly:

FUCK ALLIES!

Yes, I said it. And here’s why I feel this so deeply—especially after years of navigating harm in spaces that claimed to be “inclusive.”

in reply to Kim Crayton ~ Her/She

The concept of “allyship” is flawed at its core. It reinforces a hierarchy that centers the privileged as saviors and the marginalized as passive recipients of that help. And far too often, this shows up as power imbalances that replicate the very oppression we’re trying to dismantle.

Here’s what I’ve witnessed again and again:
People who call themselves allies...

Show up for applause, not accountability.

Use discomfort as a reason to disengage.

Matt Ater joined hosts Eamon McErlean and Joe Devon for the Accessibility and Gen AI Podcast! They discuss Matt's journey into the field of assistive technology, his work with Vispero, and the importance of user experience in developing accessibility tools. Check out Episode 9: youtu.be/n6NGlE3qM3E?si=uxwNzO…

🌍 Accessibility matters for everyone.

Whether permanent or temporary, disability can affect us all at some point in our lives. That’s why accessibility isn’t a bonus feature: it’s a necessity.

At Jami, we’re committed to making private communication truly inclusive. From screen reader support to keyboard navigation, here’s where we stand and where we’re going: jami.net/how-accessible-is-jam…

in reply to The Matrix.org Foundation

Ultimately I think it will be a bad look for entire Matrix ecosystem for its biggest server to basically commercialize the offering similar to how other commercial products do it.

There is a difference in how matrix.org is structured, being a non-profit and for example how commercial solution such as Discord is structured, but creatures don't really care about such difference, the point will be that both will have some kind of "better" offering for paid users and that kinda sucks.

I'm sticking to my opinion which I've already expressed in the past that instead of pouring more and more money into maintaining a single huge Matrix server (and the costs will continue to rise, maintaining a huge platform for social interactions is only getting worse the more it scales) it would be simply more efficient to focus on better UX and ecosystem experience to distribute the userbase across many public servers.

This move in a way may make some creatures decide to change servers, but that will be at the cost of Matrix reputation and is not a specific goal with which those premium accounts are created.

Matrix continues to be a massive undertaking, and while I see the value in matrix.org server, I worry that the funds going into its maintenance could be better utilized by Matrix foundation by focusing in other areas that would favor further decentralization of the network.

in reply to The Matrix.org Foundation

it is absolutely ridiculous to be doing this instead of offloading to reputable community-run servers. matrix.org is *not* a good onboarding experience; in fact it is very slow as evidenced in last week's presentation of Aurora, is the source of a huge amount of abuse even proportional to its active users, and is terrible for privacy/security/anonymity given it sits behind #Cloudflare/#NSA's MITM and requires a google captcha to sign up (along with email)
