What exactly does Google have left that people like? Gmail?
Nope, not GMail either, even GMail has ads now.

If anything, installing GrapheneOS on a Pixel probably reduces the risk of something happening to your phone, that’s kind of the point with having an Android distribution that maximizes security and privacy.
And because the installer is so simple that you just connect your phone, open a browser and hit three buttons, it’s really unlikely that you’ll accidentally brick your phone trying to install it.
yes but active usage doesnt mean it was not used?
If their criteria was “at least 1 person uses it at all, sometimes” then it would not have been removed 🤔
likely no maintenance effort at all.
The maintenance comes less from the code and more from making sure that every single menu added or changed in any way continues to behave correctly in three different sizes with themes and everything.
It’s hidden away behind a flag now because it hasn’t been actively used for years on end.
Not the other way around.
It is essentially just extra maintenance of a feature in Firefox that (statistically) not many people use
As such, it’s marked as “unsupported” to make clear that if any issues arise, Mozilla won’t help you with those issues.
I’ve had success with this before for unlocking :)
SimpleX is quite a promising project, uses Double Ratchet End-to-End-Encryption (from Signal), and has a very interesting protocol and model to provide quite strong metadata protection, especially in regards to whom you talk to and groups you’re in.
If your threat model requires exceptionally strong Metadata protection, SimpleX is probably going to be your go-to
Though, for a more lenient threat model, where still good, but less laser-focused metadata protection is enough, Signal will probably do just fine.
Personally I use Signal, but I also have a SimpleX Profile, an XMPP Account and Matrix. (preferred in that order)
The “NO AI” clause is conditional, though.
As mentioned in their FAQ, they will reverse that rule when it is “viable in terms of data privacy and ethicality”
unless the rampant ethical and data privacy issues around datasets are resolved via regulation.
Whilst they aren’t VC-Backed, their servers already had to do nearly 10 upgrades, their “AI Detection” is backed by another, third-party AI, and it’s not transparent what said service is.
And to top it off, it’s a closed ecosystem. You upload your art there, and either Cara dies one day and your following is gone, or they change their policies, leadership or anything else, at which point everyone will have to move again
it’s yet another case where the Fediverse and other Federated networks address the core issue that lead to this disaster - content ownership - better than systems like these do. I’m not hopeful for Cara.
Yes, they self-implemented that.
So unlike Heliboard, you don’t need to import Google’s Swypelibs.
Its great, same as their standalone Speech-To-Text Application.
Just FYI, Heliboard (continuation of OpenBoard) has all of the above. Just note that you’ll need to import Google’s Swype library once to use Swipe-To-Type.
There are ways to do indefinite edits using message relationships
The edit message would simply refer to the message to be edited and contain the new content, or a delta/diff of the content. This would not need to be shown to the user in the UI
The reason it’s this fucked up is probably more because it’s yet another Google-Specific extension on top of RCS if I had to make a guess.
NPUs existed before recall and have other uses apart from that.
The Google-Way of doing things
Yet another W for Signal where you can edit indefinitely, and can look at the edit history. No context lost, no risk of modifying things after the fact
Just FYI you posted into a Lemmy community, you didn’t ping Librewolf.
Whilst the community is official from what I know, you’ll probably not get answers directly from developers here, I’d check the FAQ
Interesting, so things like Fennec, Mull or IceRaven are ACTUALLY faster as it stands 🤔
It’s not a traditional matrix client mind you, and when I say “Matrix First” I mean architecturally.
Yes.
After their plan of starting with local iMessage and expanding later didn’t turn out well, they turned it around. Start with Matrix, add local bridges later.
The current application is based on the Beeper Mini codebase, is Matrix-First and will soon allow you to use local bridges to better preserve E2EE. As seen by some MSCs opened up by the beeper team, they are also looking into encrypted chat backups with these local bridges.
use Tor Browser.
If your concern is fingerprinting, that is undeniably the best there is out of the box.
If you want Tor Browser without having to use the Tor Network, Mullvad is basically just that; Tor Browser without the Network.
