“Old age” disks!

Hahaha. That’s hilarious.

Just like society labeling.

Yes I’m sure.

Not really searching for 'em though. :)

Oh!

So no need for a google account for using Private Spaces?

The app is in this curated list of great Android FOSS apps.

Here

Oh for fucks sake - Google!

Seriously??

Hypocrisy at its finest.

But then again, after the 2 seconds of rant, that was expected.

Android is getting more and more “private” while all data is tunneled to Google itself. They are just liquidating the competition.

Ouch!

Pierced my heart, that one.

Even Picard gets some metadata wrong on auto. Don’t trust it blindly.

Be careful and only do changes manually.

Key features:

• Schedule for nine social media platforms (Threads, Pinterest, Facebook, TikTok, Reddit, LinkedIn, Dribbble, YouTube, Instagram.)

• Fundamental analytics for almost all social media platforms.

• AI Features: Copilots, AI Auto-complete, Canva-like editor.

Sorry to budge in like this, but I don’t use any of these garbage social platforms, at all. Copilot is also strongly against my belief of the right to online privacy.

The reason why I started to selfhost and use opensource apps/OS, was to get away from all this nonsense.

Lemmy is the only platform I use, used to be on reddit, because the main purpose is to help or to get help/advise on issues. Like the old forums.

I’m a firm believer that social platforms are destroying generations with its toxic/competitive environments.

Rant over.

Shower me with downvotes if you believe I’m wrong.

Show me a new phone technology that gives me 2 weeks of battery life betweens charges and I will start caring about smartphones again.

Personally I use gonic with the Subsonic API, and Ultrasonic on Android.

Gonic is a super lightweight subsonic API server with a very basic static stats “dashboard”. As so, it’s great for lower end devices. Only problem is that it sometimes fails to pick up the album art is some cases, if that don’t disturb you, then it’s great.

Airsonic (abandonedware) is the best subsonic server in my option. It displays all album arts correctly and is folder based which works much better than Navidrome’s Id tag reader, which is a dumpster fire.

Airsonic is on the heavier side on ram usage, around 1GB. Can probably run just fine on 500mb. Probably around what Jellyfin uses.

Ultrasonic is a great android app. It is just not updated for quite some time now.

I’m also running Jellyfin and I’ll experiment with Finamp. Let’s see if it takes the number one spot from Ultrasonic :)

Edit: Ultrasonic’s strong point is also the caching of music for offline listening. Not sure if Finamp has the capability.

Edit2: Yes, it can cache music.

Found a Swede in this joint! Cheers.

You mean a nipple?

Yeah, this is a good recommendation.

Been using it for years for a phone with no Google account.

Criminals according to what standard ? In some countries, activism or sympathy with a cause is considered criminal behavior.

Exactly!

It is a slippery slope.

Even with services like Proton (big company in the privacy realm) etc, you can only fully trust yourself.

That’s why documents are always client side encrypted before I send my data, to any cloud platform.

Hahaha.

Who the fuck uses Samsung store anyway?

I never owned a Sammy phone in my life! The sheer double app bloatware is enough to scare me away.

Plain vanilla for me.

Cromite.

Snappier than anything else (With real dark mode, adblocker, anti fingerprint and great security).

Never could get used to Firefox on mobile how hard I try.

On Desktop, it’s Linux with Librewolf.

Try Cromite.

Good dark mode on webpages. Secure (chrome based) and privacy hardened with adblocker and anti- fingerprint.

No Google crap in it.

And thanks to their Signal connection graph, the government can easily tell what other people they communicate privately with.

So what? I’m sure your neighbor couple talk privately to each other most of the time and you know that happens. The important part is that the conversation is private.

Signal is not an anonymous messenger app. It never claimed to be. It’s for you to have a private conversation where your device holds the encryption keys.

Not like WhatsApp, where Meta has access to the keys of all conversations. Also 95 % of the worlds population is on WhatsApp, so why don’t you go and complain to them for lack of privacy and security?

If you want an “anonymous” chat client they are out there to use. Good luck getting more people onboard other than your savy friend.

Well, they partly took that “feature” away because people thought they were sending encrypted SMS messages which is not true. False sense of security.

They just took the secure high road and ditched SMS. It also made the app leaner with a smaller attack surface.

I think they did the right decision. Signal is the secure choice for the masses.

Having said that, I’m using Molly-Foss as it has less footprints, no Google messaging framework, leaner than Signal, with no crypto payment, and an encrypted database at rest.
