131·8 hours agoKeePassXC ftw
with the lack of persistent text chat
i was under the impression their UX is just like discord and they use the matrix protocol underneath, seems like it’s not :( that’s a dealbreaker… thanks for sharing
if you tried TS6 may i ask how it was? it still seems to be in beta and i couldn’t find any easy setup guide or demo…
the clients still feel extremely buggy to use and has poor ux, there are too many frictions overall. surely it works for some people, but it feels not optimal for me. i even tried it with a quite techie friend once and they had extremely bad experience with it that they’re now skeptical of any alternative chat systems i ask them to try out with…
my solution is Zulip/XMPP/IRC/Jitsi, none of them can replace every functions of discord but they partially can and it seems like they’ll work for my use case.

i don’t know, sorry.

sadly, yes. the custom rom scene is really dead these days. there are some smaller roms like evolution x, paranoid android, blissos, derpfest (probably a few more) but i’m not sure if using them is a very good idea. honestly haven’t seen much useful feature from those since android 9 days… i just use lineageos btw, but usually an older version (<=android 11 so i can use gravitybox, which gives those customization features)

if you can bootloader unlock them, it is possible to install a treble GSI rom, since all android devices released with android 8 oreo and later features treble. try searching phh-treble, these roms are built to work on as many devices as possible and some features may not work properly.

sorry, i have no idea about this. maybe you can lock the phone down to the bare minimum by hiding/disabling all the apps except the essential stuff? lineageos stock is pretty much already that, just need to remove the web browser with adb pm uninstall i believe.

there used to be a userscript that bypasses it, but sadly it stopped working a few years ago. haven’t found a solution since…
2·2 days agowe need more details!
android tv might indeed be good. something like nvidia shield tv that is officially google certified for those drm bs…
afaik those torrent streaming stuff are based on leeching, i believe having a proper seedbox+jellyfin is a much better choice
it’s making the internet centralized and proprietary, i hate it. i do understand how it’s a very easy option for website operators struggling against malicious bots though.
afaik you can’t get high resolution or something. i think it can be partially mitigated by running google chrome instead of firefox or (open source) chromium but i never attempted these.
it’s user friendly, used by many normies, better than some alternatives (whatsapp, etc), advertised as private, etc. at least until recently they also mostly ignored governments’ request for data, so it kinda was private for criminals as well.
2·4 days agoyeah sure, but it should cover up the vast majority of stuff except new releases
yeah i do this quite often. tar gz the home folder and pushed it to the phone with rsync/termux
maybe tunak tunak tun

lmaoo yeah you’re right, wtf
lol no, these smart watches are powerful as older smartphones, their stock os is already android/linux based.
