I don’t see evidence of them skipping back two pages past the point in history that redirects which is what prompted my comment.

You can right click (long press on mobile) to skip back to the page that took you there

Try Element X if you have a mobile. It’s rebuilt on the new sdk and offers a new architecture that has messages come in way faster than on Element (original)

I’ve had to use that horrible software in university. I asked for accommodations because I use Linux and they issued me a university laptop for exams.

I would schedule it at the school testing center and take it there just to avoid it.

Easy solution. Update the web-scraper they use to include an LLM. Then its for “training”

You can absolutely get by by, and have a great experience with GNOME + the app store.

Its a reason its default on so many distros.

OK fine but you better let me watch YouTube on my infotainment then since it’s just as distracting

Mine shows 702mb of user data after about 6 months of call history. However I don’t find this very unreasonable for the feature set provided.

The app continues to function offline so I could imagine a cache of the information gets generated once the application is launched and permissions granted.

First off, it appears to source contact information, this appears to be standardized because access is backed by the Contacts permission scope. I imagine it caches this information, because it also builds an index of your contacts in order to drive the t9 dialer search.

The phone also offers integration for voicemail and visual voicemail transcriptions. These would either need to be stored in the app, or associated with the data if it rests outside of the apps directory.

Finally there is the call history. It looks like Android has a standard location for this because it has its own permisson scope.

This means, in order to maintain functionality when offline, the app would have to store associations to contacts, the call history, voice transcription text, and voicemail audio.

The look up of this information could be slow to do each time a tab is opened so it likely stores these associations in a local database for quicker access. That local database would need to be stored in the apps directory contributing to its size.

So they forked, gave mono away and asked that everyone use their fork?

It seems like they’re hoping to gain a significant chunk of the mono community directly into .net.

That could be good or bad I suppose.

I never understood what throwing money at the problem will do.

You can only run so many campaign ads.

Ironically, companies made revenue using megaupload in the past.

I recall getting first party .exes from megaupload prior to the huge Google Cloud push.

Me either.

When I think of techbros I think venture capital, no ethics, and will sell out anyone if the price is right.

We really need a product like that for film actually.

They really do make the dems seem to be the better choice with everything they say.

Go after ISPs. We really need transparency on where they directed government grant money.

Agreed. I always loved the idea of the HTC Mini +.

Put the sim in your laptop, that’s the connectivity hub. The mini phone piggybacks the LTE connection so you don’t have to pull out your laptop for simple calls, texts, navigation or music actions.

Really the only thing holding me back from switching to GrapheneOS is that some of my apps fail CTS.

If a proper pathway is defined for custom ROMs I’d switch in a heartbeat.

Hoping this initiative leads to a reasonable outcome.

They’re asking for more proxies now.

Time to run some proxies for these oppressed people.

AFAIK the Electoral College can ignore their constituents.

However this should look very bad on the specific members ignoring their constituents.

Bad enough to prompt them to not be reelected.
