I think that comment has two readings:

1. The commenter potentially missed the point of the post a bit and saying good parenting helps because it means they get diagnosed sooner
2. The commenter is saying that the abusive behaviours listed in the post count as “good parenting”

I can see why the second might get reported.

I tried PCAPdroid recently and that seemed good

Sounds like you were engaging in whataboutism and that was the problem

The actual article says that the new thing is that it allows consumers to revoke access to information after the fact.

My day to day experience is good. I have worries about the long term issues but it was one of the only ones that had a headphone jack and microSD. I’m not sure I would have sprung for it otherwise.

The OS could be better as I do get some occasional freezes but nothing particularly bad and that could be the launcher I’m using. Also the software support is shit: they’ve never announced how long it’ll get updates for - previous phones were only 2 years of security updates - and when the updates come they don’t have a changelog (in fact, their website doesn’t even have the latest updates listed but I believe a very minimal changelog turns up when they eventually update the site). Also, there are various things people want fixed or features they want ported (I think there’s some camera options from the 5V that never got made available on the 1V despite using the same sensor), though I only know about these because I’ve had to look at reddit to see what’s changed in an update.

In terms of the security updates, I’m basically counting on LineageOS support turning up at some point.

This all sounds very negative but the camera, screen, battery life, and speakers are all excellent. The OS is fairly close to stock android, which makes it less annoying than Samsung. I’m just annoyed that a device that seems built to last, is hamstrung by the software updates.

I have an Xperia 1V and have a “4G Calling” toggle. I suspect VoLTE is now assumed as 2 & 3G services are getting turned off all over.

Personally I don’t mind initial registration, so long as they don’t continue to get data, so I’m not sure. There is some development for Garmin connectivity that I’m hoping comes to fruition.

I did like the old amazfit bip and that could be used without registration using the Notify for Amazfit & Zepp app, from what I can remember. I never used it with Gadgetbridge though, and it didn’t last for very long before dying (cheap build quality). It isn’t much of a fitness tracker either.

Ah sorry, I missed a bit in your post - it’s correction during typing only. Upping this setting could help but I suspect you want something else

Heliboard isn’t perfect but is an openboard fork that has spell check, is getting active development, and is on F-droid. There’s even a correction sensitivity setting. It’s the first time I’ve been able to move away from Swiftkey.

Look into Gadgetbridge, as that allows the bypass of proprietary apps for some trackers

I’ve used a larger version for cold brew in the past and it worked well. It was a bit annoying to clean out but cold brew batches arent every morning so it was fine.

My preference is now an aeropress with a fabric filter. I use this above a metal filter with the Prismo attachment (metal to stop the fabric clogging the valve). The fabric circle is small enough to be easy to clean, freeze and thaw. I usually only rinse it (much easier with a small flat disk) before chucking it in the freezer but I use Cafitza to clean it every few months to remove any built up oils (just gotta give it a few soaks in boiling water afterwards to ensure its not holding on to the cleaning agent!).

I loved Lego Island but will never forgive Lego Island 2 for the bad disk that would crash after 3/4 of the game. I never got to finish it.

Rock Raiders & Lego Loco were great (if a little inadvisable in terms of the Lego Loco letters).

This comment from A7pr8 seems to suggest it is possible to modify the apk via Lucky Patcher, which hopefully would then work on a non-rooted phone:

You can’t just send the app from your rooted device. When you mod the app on a rooted device only .odex file will be patched not the .apk file.

You need to rebuild .apk to be able to share it and the the other device should also has luckypatcher for it to work.

Simply when you patch an app use the option create modified .apk or rebuild it from “rebuild & install” in the bottom bar.

The right dinosaur has chaotic dreams that make no sense but is hiding it to seem normal. It took me a bit to realise what the lower left bit was, which did confuse me.

Yeah, I absolutely want this option on all keyboards too. I just moved to openboard and it’s the thing I miss most by far.

I’ve ranted about this to several people too. Intelligence is hard to define and trying to define it has a horrible history linked to eugenics. That said, I feel like a minimum definition is that it has the capacity to understand the meaning and/or impact of what it is saying and/or doing, which current “AI” is so far from doing.

I think it’s all speculation so far, but I’ve heard the company is an analytics one, so it’s likely to try to sell user data

Simple File Manager (and the other associated apps) got bought by a company, so this is a fork by a long-time maintainer that keeps it FOSS

I’m curious about this too, but more for for sharing long, self-made playlists. A single song is not too bad to send or find on YouTube but a playlist is difficult

The title here said E2EE is made impossible, I was simply saying that is untrue. Clarity matters. It says in the article they removed the bit about banning encryption or requiring back doors to it before it passed.

The rest sucks, as I acknowledged, and they want to make it easier to scan devices that would include messages that have been decrypted upon arrival. There’s already spyware they does exactly that. However, that doesn’t make it so that E2EE is impossible.
