That sounds like it’s going to get real messy real fast

I’ve been using Thunder, which I find after tweaking the settings can be fairly close to Eternity (though not exactly the same, of course). It’s been working pretty well for me. Like Eternity, FOSS with no ads/tracking, which is important to me.

Not a near-term solution, but the Free Software Foundation just announced the LibrePhone project!

Piefed is a different piece of software from Lemmy, and an app supporting one will not necessarily support the other. They have different APIs.
Eternity is a Lemmy-specific app, and one that has been unmaintained for around a year, so I wouldn’t expect Piefed support anytime soon. I recently begrudgingly switched to a different app despite eternity being my favorite user experience, because it doesn’t support image proxying (which lemmy.zip uses) and will probably not be updated again.

This is exactly why giving ID scans to online sevices is a terrible idea, even ignoring the privacy aspect.

Sure am glad we have police robots in the sky to protect us from 19 year old kids stealing stuff from Walmart

I’d love them, but like others have said, not if made by Meta, and not if they rely on sending all my data to cloud services to function.

Not excelling either

Gozz is correct. You’re misunderstanding the nature of a digital signal. What the author did was convert a digital signal to an analog signal, store that analog signal on a bird, then record that analog signal. Whether it was redigitized after the fact is irrelevant. It is not a digital process end-to-end. This is the same as if I were to download a YouTube video, record that video on a VHS tape, then redigitize that video. Not only would the end result not be a bit for bit match, it wouldn’t be a match at all despite containing some of the same visual information, because it would be the product of a digital-analog-digital conversion.

Four.
