I don’t know what it was like when my sister was young, but I also got occular migraines as a kid, and it’d be like a static spot in my vision where things just disappear behind it. Once that static appeared, I only had 10-20 mins or so before an awful headache would set off, and I ended up needing meds for it. They went away after 13 though.

Just made my first map contribution yesterday after I went to a business that wasn’t marked on the map and it’s lit a fire in me to mark more. Too bad I don’t go to new places often…

Huh? I translate Japanese with DeepL all the time (sometimes I need assistance on my Textbook work 😅) and the individual words will be voiced at least (not the whole sentence though). They definitely have good Japanese translation.

Unless Google approves them for SafetyNet and all their other stuff related to payment requirements (which they’re forcing apps to slowly meet those demands), GrapheneOS won’t be able to shit about it as they’re seen as a security risk (not running stock). This will always be an issue since Google isn’t gonna want to approve them anyway. So unfortunately you have to make the choice to give up Google wallet, but that’ll do wonders for your privacy!

I never understood it either. Like vanilla FF with some tweaks made it just as good (if not better) than Brave out of the box. We have Librewolf and Arkenfox too. Mull existed for Android, now we have Fennec and IronFox. I get that about:config can suck sometimes (I’m in a fight with it every month on IronFox 😅), but like follow a guide or two and you’ll have Brave without the crypto and blatantly allowing “whitelisted” sites to stalk you.

It’s just unnecessary at this point…

Yeah, I got fucked by Authy too and did it the hard way last year.

The RCS forum post was very tedious and I came back a few months later cause RCS broke, but it’s been good for almost a year now so I think I got it. Some extra details to note are your carrier, deregistring old phones, verifying app permissions, and just waiting a week or so.

I totally understand your frustration though, as I went through it 😅

One of my banking apps worked, but 3 others didn’t.

Same issue, I just did web browser instead

My 2FA app didn’t work.

I suggest just exporting and using a different 2FA app, especially an open source one like Aegis

I stopped receiving important texts as they were previously RCS and that refused to validate no matter what

RCS on GrapheneOS is very finicky and requires using AppOps to enable READ_DEVICE_IDENTIFIERS, and you have to let carrier services and google messages have more permissions to work. You also might have to deregister your previous phone to use the number (i.e. my old iPhone still had my number in the settings, had to remove it). There’s a very long GrapheneOS thread about it, but the link should be the solution.

You’ve never had a gremlin cat cause I’ve definitely had cats try to run off with random shit in their mouth

I don’t even watch South Park and I almost convinced myself this was a faked tweet using a South Park script and simply slapped these two on top.

He never said paying for open source projects is impossible, obviously we have the ability pay. It’s the expecting EVERYONE to drop money on every FOSS project that’s infeasible. That shit ads up.

It’s the same issue that PeerTube has, people making free content with no ads, but they aren’t guaranteed payment. I’m not about to pay $5 per month on Patreon for every creator that I like, cause that’s just not sustainable.

As a weeabo, fine, make fun of us. But I’m tired of people crusading furries and I’m not even one of them.

Boy do I have a guy for you!

Anyway, hated the first fight against this bastard

Ugh, yeah. It’s making me have a love-hate relationship with it. “Haha humpback helps seal not die 😊” vs “Ah. Creepos being fat-phobic 🫤”

Tech savvy enough. I do my damnedest to find a YT tutorial or forum post before I throw the towel in and make a help request somewhere. Like I literally will go hours before I finally concede and realize I can’t do something myself, and I act like my honor is forever lost whenever I go to Fedora forums in defeat. There are many out there who won’t even do that at the bare minimum, so you’re doing great. We’re doing great.

Do I run over this liberal, or should I go around?

Huh, maybe it is me using Lawnchair. I am using up-to-date GrapheneOS on a Pixel 8a and have noticed that my navigator buttons will just have a stroke at random times throughout the day, and it is annoying. I use lawnchair so I can apply icon packs. Haven’t tested the base launcher yet.

Okay, this image would be better if it actually showed whatever article it came from, so we could verify the print and date. These could all be books printed in 2016 for all we know. But like I totally believe it.

Edit: I have the grammar of a 3rd grader

If you’re on Android you won’t need a family plan, just get ReVanced and patch YT Music so it’s ad-free and plays in the background.

Actually, I’m kinda sad that my laptop doesn’t get close to maxing my RAM cause I specifically bought another stick to make it 16GB. This was back when I was using Windows but now I’m bloat-free on Fedoora. I need to get into gaming on my laptop instead now lol.

If you’re a little less afraid of stuff breaking, use IronFox, it’s been configured for privacy and security. If you don’t want websites to break as much use Fennec.
