Only real reason I use fennec over mull is mull by default has a fingerprinting setting that, while being better for privacy, locks the app to 60hz and my phone supports 120hz. If 60hz doesn’t bother you then I think mull is the better choice. But they’re really similar at the end of the day
Yeah I’m kind of puzzled by it too lol. I wish they had just kept their original solution of using Macs to run iMessage. Perhaps if they had gotten popular it still would have been blocked, but their whole strategy of being super open about it is odd. I suppose they thought they could fight it but evidently that wasn’t the case.
Overall though I agree with the post, the app is really nice, the new android version is super slick and if they can get all the other connections working locally like they want, it’ll be even better
Agreed summit is great. It’s my go to until sync gets some more updates
I mean, the EEOC is literally suing them. Not sure what part you don’t believe. If you don’t believe that stuff actually happened there, did you read to the end of the article? It’s not the first time they’ve been accused of this
I see what you’re saying. I do agree that people should have the opportunity to be educated to at least a baseline understanding of some things. If for nothing else but to avoid being scammed.
I mean ideally I would just like these companies to be held responsible for doing shady stuff behind the scenes, I don’t think having easy to understand UIs (and as a result, a bit obfuscated from what’s actually happening) and such have to be a bad thing. But maybe it’s too idealistic to want that and expect companies to actually be held accountable if the obfuscation is hiding bad stuff
This seems needlessly gatekeepy to me. Are you saying everyone using technology needs to learn exactly how it all works? People aren’t allowed to just use the tools provided to them? Like are cameras worse now that you can just point and shoot vs having to go through many steps for the photo to maybe turn out ok?
Oh sick!! I was already on the $10/month plan. This is great news!!!
I think it’s supposed to become just normal element when it gets feature parity with current element
The connections to the apps are all open source, as the other user said. And you can self host it too if you want to go that route
So much for waiting on the wait-list… But I’m excited!!!
I hope you can appreciate and understand that the decision was made, in part, because we had users asking for it. I recognize the shortcomings of a megathread. However it won’t be possible to make every user here happy. We’ve taken the actions that we thought were best based on the desires of some of our users.
We appreciate feedback, and are welcoming any suggestions on how this could be handled better
News about the companies that don’t involve him are still allowed outside the thread. The idea here is more to contain stuff about the man himself, as it gets spammy and repetitive after a while
Unfortunately tags are not currently a Lemmy feature, so this isn’t an option
Droidify is more like a really nice looking frontend alternative to F-Droid. But it also has other sources it pulls from like IzzyOnDroid and stuff like that. Obtanium can pull from F-Droid and IzzyOnDroid and such but you have to know what you’re looking for, there isn’t really any browsing aspect afaik. Obtanium can also pull directly from a GitHub page. (Droidify may also be able to do this by adding the repo to the sources but I haven’t tried)
Personally I use droidify for everything I can get on F-Droid and IzzyOnDroid and obtanium for the few things that just have a GitHub page
Oh nice I’ll check that out!
I use the droidify app. Which uses various f Droid and other repos to manage apps. Liftoff is available on the IzzyOnDroid repo https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.liftoffapp.liftoff
Droidify is available on F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.looker.droidify/
Woah, that sucks. More ruined links across the internet
Hahaha, it’s a play on my name and the Pokemon yeah. But I am also a red dwarf fan so perhaps it has 3 meanings!
