They can, however, be made worse. npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia Begrudgingly dealing with the Android Developer Verification bs. npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia I'm amazed that Google's stupid new nonsense "Android developer verification" program is so broken that they literally fail to auto-register one of my three apps that are *on Google Play*. I need to "prove ownership" over an app I published to Google play in February 2020 and that's still in my account... npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia @nprofile…7yuj Having OpenClaw installed without my consent is some of the nastiest malware I've seen in a while :( npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia Friendly reminder of why #Google is just plain evil: they've taking down #IzzyOnDroid (a third party Open Source Android "app store" like #FDroid) *twice* in the past 30 days over false positive malware scanning. npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia #Catima 2.41.5 is out! npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia #Catima 2.41.3 is out npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia One common reason people name to pick a big host like GitHub instead of Codeberg to host their projects on is the hope that the bigger platform will make it more likely to get more contributors. A nice thought, isn't it? npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia Hey fedi, npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia @nprofile…8jpa "In an interview with Joe Rogan" 🤮 npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia GitHub has deleted an issue I was working on *again*. npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia So, Valve, probably the biggest gaming company in the world, just announced 3 new pieces of hardware after the success of their last Linux-powered gaming handheld "Steam Deck". npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia #Catima 2.39.2's release on #GooglePlay has been delayed due to the regular incompetent review program blocking the update due to "lack of provided login credentials for testing". npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia @nprofile…jjje Omg, this was my #1 complaint about Weblate since forever! The only issue that truly bothered me and I had no workaround for! I cannot put into words how happy reading about that feature makes me! I need to go set this up as I like it for my projects soon ❤️ npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia #Catima 2.36.0 is out! npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia Hey #fedihelp, npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia I would like to urge my followers to strongly avoid #TRMNL. npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia @nprofile…jv2z That's terrifying but also... annoyingly stupid? The Netherlands released such an app without Play Integrity years ago called Yivi (formerly IRMA). npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia @nprofile…kt9v @nprofile…x2x0 I've had it for about a week now. I'm really enjoying my FP6. But I am the same kind of person who used the FP3 for 6 years (and the FP2 before that) despite everyone calling it an awful phone so... I'm not sure if I'm the best person to judge when a phone is "good". But I really enjoy it, it feels very nice, battery life seems good, huge upgrade from the FP3. It also looks beautiful imho npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia I finally finished Shadow Man Remastered from Nightdive Studios. npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia @nprofile…g8y8 I also found https://www.carsized.com/ recently. I disagree with their decision to display bigger size in green with a + (though I understand it from a "number go up" perspective), but I think it is still helpful to see just how stark the difference is between cars a few years ago and now and, for those that do want a car instead of (or on top of) public transport for whatever reason, to help compare size too before making a new purchase. npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia 🤣 npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia I just lost access to a substantial amount of issues on one of my #GitHub projects. npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia A month later and Home Assistant released "Speech To Phrase", which can connect to your Home Assistant to retrieve all your entities and train the model based on sentences generated with that. npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia I'm really glad to see this video, explaining clearly that Musk's nazi salute was real and consistent with his other behaviour in backing far-right extremism all over the world. npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia To those who do give a shit: I understand how easy it is to give up. I'm extremely tired of this stuff myself too. I've been telling people this is really happening for so long and always been told I'm overreacting, and even now people argue it's "not a nazi salute". npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia When I was in high school, I never understood how Hitler's rise to power worked. Like, surely people would stop this absurdly clearly public rise of hatred? npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia I've decided to jank #Catima 2.34.3 due to issues with Android 15 edge-to-edge support. npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia Catima 2.34.3 is out! npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia I've been using #HomeAssistantVoice, the voice assistant from #HomeAssistant for about a week now. tl;dr: I think it's kinda cool, but definitely nerd-only right now. npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia TIL #Catima is apparently mirrored onto #RuStore through #Aptoide, or so someone reported: https://github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Android/discussions/1812#discussioncomment-11740997 npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia Hey fedi, npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia #Catima 2.31.1 is out! npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia So I found out my IKEA Tradfri bridge is no longer supported for some of the newer IKEA smart home hardware. Kinda frustrating! npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia #Catima 2.31.0 is out! npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia I bought my first e-reader recently (Kobo Clara Colour) and it was quite a strong reminder of how the community is always what makes things great. npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia Can someone tell me if #Catima is a #GooglePay or #GoogleWallet replacement? I'm not sure anymore... npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia I voted today in the European election. npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia I started off playing it and thinking "Eh, it's okay, it's just basically 1 but a continuation of the story which is nice given I basically finished Hades 1's story" npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia It's so frustrating to see Microsoft copy inventions from the Linux world and act like they're new. Ads in the start menu? Come on, we had that in Ubuntu back in 2012 already, you're late to the party *again*. npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia I really don't understand Lite apps. npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia TIL: HDMI is actually quite a closed system and the HDMI Forum has successfully blocked AMD from supporting 120Hz @ 4K in their Open Source drivers because they disallow Open Source implementations of (that part of) the standard. npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia @npub1llz…08cq You know, a link to those guidelines here would've been really nice ;) npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia #Catima 2.25.3 is out! npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia @npub1yrl…8gpm Probably good for the author to be aware that you'd be okay with a lack of push notifications (alternatively, UnifiedPush could be used probably, but that is probably more work than simple removal) npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia @npub1yrl…8gpm Seems it won't be possible as-is, see https://github.com/Clon1998/mobileraker/issues/20. Don't know how required the proprietary stuff is though, might be removable or possible to turn into a build flavor. npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia So, Raise To Answer is dead. Google killed the APIs it needs to function so it cannot target a newer Android SDK. npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia I love accessibility. Make UI elements big and readable by a screen reader. Support translations and internationalization. npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia @npub1w0h…uwua As stated in the first screenshot: "Developers with existing Play Console accounts will also be required to provide this information soon." npub1nrldqqdp2l587z63rckfnnx8na8y9qdqfe8a6kfkyrx06vp89x0s25qrfk Sylvia Bad news
