Yeah I was of the same mindset for a good while and generally rocked with Nova since forever.

But when that Branch shit came about I dabbled with Neo/KISS/Niagara/Kvaesitso Launchers (which Neo is still the default on my backup locker phone) and others but when I got this Poco F6 I found the system Launcher works fine…🤔

Apart from this stupid thing which I think is more a “Xiaomi/HyperOS thing”, and not the Poco Launcher per se

Something I have noticed thou over these years is I really don’t spend too much time looking, or interacting with my Launcher so kinda don’t care 🙈

You should probably try to not use a boilerplate Privacy Policy and forget to insert your Gmail firstly?

Any particular reason you can’t share magnet files right here on Lemmy instead?

Yeah me too, photos and videos I’ve recorded are the only things I’m bothered about. Backing up off-site all my arrrrr booty is redundant since I’ve shared it to a 2.1 ratio already and hopefully can download it again from people with larger storage than my family member has.

It’s how I handle backing up those photos / videos thou. I bought them a 512GB card and shoved that in a GLi AP they have down there which I sync my DCIM folder to (app was removed from Play Store since it didn’t need updating but Googles stupid policies meant it went RIP…), and I also backup that to the old Synology NAS I handed down to them. I suppose I could use Syncthing but I like that old app since the adage if it’s not broke don’t fix it applies.

Along with them having Tailscale on a Pi4 (on a UPS and is their/my backup TVHeadend server) and their little N100 media box I don’t even bother them with my meager photo collection and works good.

Excuse my French.

But fuck Adobe, and welcome GenP peeps 😁

Oh. Can you elaborate please?

Go on then, I’ll bite.

What’s this instance community offer other than a different name?

I bought two AXT1800’s for down at a family members house (main router + other on a Powerline in AP mode) and they have no complaints.

While I can’t speak for having to reboot them often since a few months ago I told them to schedule a reboot through the night, weekly, and I find them one of the cleanest router interfaces especially on mobile.

The timezone is different to your browser is my main qualm with them which I can’t seem to solve :/

You’re gonna be on an aeroplane for a month?

e: tongue in cheek and all aren’t SD cards are a thing these days? You’ve got the obvious network solutions but if you’re off the grid?

Why bother?

Pray tell, how do you “pirate” a SSO service as you alluded to above?

No one asked for alternatives. We’re more interested in how you’re gonna “pirate” these things. Cheers!

Exactly, you tell me since I’m just giving you examples of US hosted services as you asked for.

Personally you could self host all three, but it would be a fairly expensive endeavour and you’d be operating on a brand new platform with no users.

GitHub? Internet Archive? Wikipedia?

They’re probably skint and need a loan.

Problem is, they created it? Oops

tldr: people using Windows can get duped into running what is basically a Powershell / Shortcut to pwn themselves

I cock blocked them with Qbit even though I don’t use Windows

Aye!

I think one of the most concerning things for me thou recently is Google Play just chucking off dev’s apps from the Store because they don’t update them at a rate of knots / some arbitrary thing that hasn’t been disclosed to devs or left in a puddle of legalese in the TOS :/

I think your concerns about lack of updates is something while it worries some, I find it nice when updates are released only when it’s stable.

If you check the devs history they reviewed a pull on KISS launcher itself back in Nov

https://github.com/Neamar/KISS/pull/2345#issuecomment-2496214318

and I like slow burner builds and especially when the devs make the app for themselves to use like this one ;)

At least I plan to set it up on my server to try it out - as soon as I’m having some time to breath…

The install script is wonderbar and I installed it here at work, from my phone 🙈

I know I know, I really shouldn’t go curl’ing > random bash scripts from the internet but it is some damn fine script if you read through it

I look forward to playing with it when I get home, and thanks for the heads up!

Like I said over on Matrix, this is the bit that would bother me

I think the one thing to take into account is if !android did grow to silly levels (I joined r/Android when it was at ~1000 users) when you have 2 million users you do need a degree of a separation

Help vampires while I like to try and help, there’s too many of you 🙈

Similar to this bollocks we have in the UK, stopping Internet users accessing content leads to one or two things.

Geo proxies to bypass it, or some poor soul downloading malware hosted to fill that gap. Stupid stupid stupid.

I usually limit it to 80% during the summer, but because I work outside and through the night too my battery can reach very low temperature levels which absolutely hammers my battery life so I let it charge to 100% / or just to warm it up via a small powerbank on my FLT sometimes during the winter months.

As for longevity? I usually go through a phone every year or two so I don’t see the wear of of what others are saying in here using their phone for over two years (that’s my max), but I feel the 20/80% guideline is a fair one to go by since the reported 100% isn’t fully accurate anyway.

it’s written in plain language

Could you cite the parts which are irking you specifically please?

Taking someone’s word for it isn’t really kosher in terms of privacy for some people, but I do reckon they’d like to hear your thoughts.
