@jonah@lemmy.one you’re alive! Welcome back, this server needs 4 months worth of maintenance!

They’ve updated their ‘policy’, still with no accrual explanation that I can see:

The admin team updated the communities that they will allow archive links to be used.

No idea what the deleted comment you replied to said, but I’m a big fan of bringing the word “dork” back!

Articons seems to still have it

I need all the protection I can get now Big Subreddit are after me!

Technically yes, but if you’re already paying for the thing you actually wanted then it’s essentially a free trial on top of that

It’s a free trial. I don’t know why everyone’s so shocked, they’re essentially giving you one or two free books in the hope that you’ll be hooked and want to pay for more!

Google will be shuddering

Well it is spooky season

Come on man, let that shit die with Reddit!

You can still use them with GadgetBridge if Rebble ever goes away too!

the first good wearable computer ever made

That’s an opinion and a half! People might consider it collectable but they’re not exactly rare.

Use Microsoft Teams for a while and you’ll appreciate how good you had it with Slack!

Ah, I missed the part where you said “Linux”, sorry!

Ah, I missed the part in the OP where it said “Linux”, whoops

Cromite is a fork of the seemingly-abandoned Bromite, which used to be the only browser recommended by GrapheneOS (other than their own Vanadium). It’s relatively new though so I don’t think that much has been written about it for comparison.

TIL there are multiple open street map apps (obvious that there would be now I think about it!)

Clearly I have nothing to add, but thanks for asking the question, I’ll be saving the post and trying out all the answers!

Assuming this is on an android phone with the normal Google Play Services on it then you should expect that Google can theoretically read anything that appears on it. It’s probably not that sinister though, I don’t imagine anything is being sent away and logged (though it theoretically could be!), there’s probably just some process which reads every incoming notification and if it thinks it sounds like a task then it offers you the prompt. Is this some setting you haven’t disabled in Google Assistant?

Mental.

As the other commenter said it’s about the hardware really. I tested it out on a really old device first to make sure it actually worked - it did but at a glacially slow pace. The new box is pretty snappy though!

Set your private DNS to something like dns.adguard.com, it’s a game changer!
