I’m curious, If I delete my account periodically, are the profile and activity like comments/votes still out there in other instances? are votes deducted? I’m not sure if this is the right question but does deleting accounts federate?

9·10 months agoIf this also affects other bacteria and germs, wouldn’t that mean people would not build up immunity to anything around them. It’s reasonable for places like airports, hotels, and public spaces and subways but not “everywhere”
1·10 months agoGmail (usually with +domain@gmail.com) is where my newsletters and unimportant emails go. I think I switched when they discontinued Inbox.
It’s almost like when companies try to build a wall, some people will try to break in, even for the sake of it, maybe the thrill of it, even if it worked for a minute.
Whatever their intentions, I’m glad they did. Apple got to strengthen their infrastructure (somewhat, users are still using it with access to a Mac), and it brought messaging interoperability conversation to congress.
People seem to forget Apple founders were doing this shit too. They build a blue box and sold it too.
I just want to turn off Stories.

This is great news. usernames next, lets goooo
They are going to announce Youtube Music Messenger app in the next I/O, aren’t they? to add to their ever growing list of messenger portfolio.
Best way to use an Android is to stay as far away as you can from Google products or at least minimize it.
Protonmail, Organic Maps/Magic Earth, Signal, Firefox, Spotify, Newpipe, AntennaPod and so on.
dudes a redditor. getting enraged is a default setting.
finding solutions? nope, post more rage… that’ll fix it
what about this? https://kbin.social/m/android@lemdro.id/t/467656/To-improve-security-Google-s-making-it-slightly-harder-to-contribute#entry-comment-2442599
Google is not making Android for users, but itself as its advertising platform. Ever wonder why custom ROMs and even other manufacturers have a permission to block internet access for specific apps in their Android forks but Google does not? hmm… Alright
Google isn’t looking out for anyone but itself. These kind of restrictions and excuses are exactly what Apple calls “security”.
Just off the top of my head, Android allows multiple browser engines to work on it, allowing firefox to use extensions. Android can torrent, while you can’t on stock iOS without hacks. Firefox with extensions on Android is god send if you’re a power user.
For someone who claims to be a power user, it’s really showing… And don’t forget open source ecosystem is much much much bigger on Android.
Before that, it was hangouts and regular people didn’t know about it.
This is their biggest problem, They themselves fragment their user base. We were on hangouts, you could even get your google voice calls on it, we didnt’ switch to allo or duo, till they announced they were retiring hangouts. And now all three are gone.
We stay away from Google now.
how were they ahead of Samsung and other manufacturers exactly? genuinely curious.
Google owns it, as in Google gets the last say in what goes into mainline AOSP code. The code is open source but they decide what next Android release is going to be. You can submit a PR, they decide if it gets merged or not.
If anyone wants to make independent modifications over it, they can fork it, because the license permits it. Now the fork is not owned by Google. But Google owns the main android repository.
- Adds stories (most annoying feature on a messaging app)
- Can’t disable it
our biggest update yet
Meh
There’s no moving at all. it’s just a bridge to use multiple messaging services in a single app. Everyone else you talk to stays on which ever app they want.
You have to trust the service with your data though. Some services won’t be E2EE anymore. But their bridges are opensource so, you can self host them if you want
Not a smart watch, but a Mi Band fitness tracker.
Pros:
- works well enough
- Private
- data visualizations are great
- Advanced sleep tracking
- Lots of customization features
Cons:
- needs 3rd party app to sync weather
- Doesn’t exit cleanly
- Calendar sync has never worked for me (even though I gave it necessary permissions )
I think i’m going to stick with my 6a until they move to their own processor (that’s not exynos)
