The page says it captures game audio only by default. But you can switch it to all audio if UPI want to capture something like external voice chat.

I know GrapheneOS implenents Contact Scopes so you can choose which contacts an app can see.

Bridge doesn’t support the calendar yet from what I’ve heard.

You can get notifications in other profiles. However it’ll be a generic “Profile X has a notification”. Tapping it will swap profles, but not exactly seamless.

I’d say the main benefit Futo has over Heliboard is that it has native swype typing with its own model (and also own voice typing model).

Still a bit light on customisation (certainly compared to Heliboard), but a nice first release certainly.

Proton is not the same as a VM. It has direct access to your filesystem. It could delete your entire home directory if it wanted to.

Another vote for Immich. It’s a really nice experience on both the web and app.

Even if it doesn’t look as good, it’ll hopefully include some better APIs that extensions can utilise to improve their experience. E.g. hide the native tabs.

As I understand it (from my non-legal casual read of the new coverage). Having a monopoly isn’t illegal, abusing it is. For Google they found that google was secretly paying companies to not put their apps on other stores. That was what they got the judgement against them. They didn’t find anything like that for Apple.

Droid-ify can auto update apps in the background with root. I’m running it on GrapheneOS without root and it’s doing it just fine.

Yeah, no need for ID to vote here in Australia. Just rock up at any polling place and give your name and they’ll cross your name off.

Don’t even need ID to register to vote. Any other person on the electoral roll can vouch for your identity.

You technically could make cheese without murdering a cow but you won’t find any made that way. Cows only produce milk for their young. To make milk they need to be repeatedly impregnated over and over again. Lifespan of a cow can be 20 years, though they are usually killed after about 5 as their milk output drops. Half of the cows they give birth to will be male and almost all killed as they don’t produce milk. Some of the females may be killed too as you’ll end up with more cows than you have room for it you keep them all.

As for a human child, drinking human breast milk is considered vegan as long as it was given consensually. If you kidnap someone and tie them up in your basement then it wouldn’t be.

It certainly can be a bit involved. When I moved from Gmail address to my own personal domain I did it slowly over a few months.

I set my Gmail address to automatically forward to my new email address. Then I setup a quick filter which added a label on everything that had been forwarded. Once a week or so I would look at all the emails that had been forwarded and update them to my new email (or delete them if unwanted).

I wouldn’t be surprised if they made a torrent for it. They probably want a simple download button for the less technically inclined too.

I don’t think WebAuthn protects against cookie theft. WebAuthn better protects the login process. But if the result of the login process is still a session/auth cookie, that can be stolen like any other cookie.

I do the two profiles on mine as well. The Google profile isn’t allowed to run in the background so it’s only active when I’m using an app that really needs it. Down to just a single app now that needs it.

Software cracks leaving a calling card isn’t unheard of. Companies before have been caught out before with names of cracking groups showing up in their files.

Edit: found the article I was thinking of. Turns out it was Microsoft themselves!

It’s mostly a power efficiency thing. Before push notifications were the norm, most apps used a polling method. They had the application send a request every X seconds asking “anything new”. There wasn’t coordination between apps, so even every app checked once every 30s, it likely wouldn’t be on the same 30s. This caused the device to wake up a lot and never let it switch into low power mode.

A push notifications system like FCM or UnifiedPush means only a single application needs to run in the background. It maintains a persistent connection to the push notification service and waits for a message. When it receives one it wakes up the relevant app and passes it the details.

The issue lies with Google’s FCM (Firebase Cloud Messaging) system, so it’s not something GrapheneOS can really fix. As far as I know FCM doesn’t offer a way to encrypt notification content. Some apps like Signal work around this by instead of sending the message content, they send a little “wake up” notification. This tells Signal on your phone to wake up and it goes and retrieves the new message.

If you don’t install Google Play Services, you won’t be impacted. But you’ll also not get notifications for most applications. There is an alternative push notification system called UnifiedPush which allows you to choose any server to handle your notifications (and even self host it). But it does require both the service and the app to support it, so it’s not very wide spread yet.

Mine was having issues the other day too. Couldn’t see any apps when I opened it. Started working again when I checked it the next day.
