Hosting data yourself wouldn’t be required, but it would become an option.

You’d have the option of leaving your identity on your home server, or a separate domain/website, or host your data and identity but use another instance to federate.

Though, designing UX for this will be an interesting challenge.

Sorry for the late reply, that shadow is present in most launchers as a default option to create contrast between the wallpaper and status icons.

Things like Nova Launcher and Lawnchair have options to disable it.

Awesome to see that Sony development is still kicking <3

I’d love to slap LineageOS on a modern sony

Loved their devices back then, especially because they offer an extended range of updates specifically for developing on-top of AOSP, even including (Major) Kernel Updates

That on a modern device? Count me in

is this everywhere on the device?

I’ve had success with this before for unlocking :)

The “NO AI” clause is conditional, though.

As mentioned in their FAQ, they will reverse that rule when it is “viable in terms of data privacy and ethicality”

unless the rampant ethical and data privacy issues around datasets are resolved via regulation.

Whilst they aren’t VC-Backed, their servers already had to do nearly 10 upgrades, their “AI Detection” is backed by another, third-party AI, and it’s not transparent what said service is.

And to top it off, it’s a closed ecosystem. You upload your art there, and either Cara dies one day and your following is gone, or they change their policies, leadership or anything else, at which point everyone will have to move again

it’s yet another case where the Fediverse and other Federated networks address the core issue that lead to this disaster - content ownership - better than systems like these do. I’m not hopeful for Cara.

Maybe you’re interested in the latest testing versions of Lawnchair?

They’re completely rebased it on modern versions of the Stock Android launcher, and they do support the Google feed on the left, the searchbar, things like PixelSearch and more, as well as customizing the experience to your liking

it is not on-par in features with old versions of Lawnchair 2 yet, but for being a complete remake from scratch I find it quite remarkable

There are ways to do indefinite edits using message relationships

The edit message would simply refer to the message to be edited and contain the new content, or a delta/diff of the content. This would not need to be shown to the user in the UI

The reason it’s this fucked up is probably more because it’s yet another Google-Specific extension on top of RCS if I had to make a guess.

NPUs existed before recall and have other uses apart from that.

The Google-Way of doing things

Yet another W for Signal where you can edit indefinitely, and can look at the edit history. No context lost, no risk of modifying things after the fact

Just FYI, SearX is dead. Long live SearXNG

FYI: xManager itself is Open-Source, Spotify obviously isn’t.

no I don’t believe a damn word of what apple’s gonna say on this, I just wanted to get the message out there that generally file deletion works by allowing data to be overwritten, so if the images are local this could very well just be that either it’s showing data that hasn’t been overwritten yet or it accidentally brought things out of the “recently deleted” depending on how long ago it was deleted.

no when I say “overwritten” I mean that the area is set as deleted in the filesystem and the next time something writes to that area the data that was there before is disregarded.

yeah cuz for normal, day-to-day use that’s exponentially slower the more you’re deleting

You can do that when you wipe something.

I mean, to be completely fair, that’s how data storage works.

We cannot really just make data disappear, so we let it get overwritten instead

Note that tons of instances have increased the limit FAR beyond 500 chars. Mine has 2000.

You can actually put alt-text in images, ![alt-text](URL)
