i see that years or decades of frustration in the face of “i have nothing to hide” comes off as insanity to you :/

the pejorative “armchair expert” wouldn’t apply here as the fieldwork is essentially chair based.

:)

“arguments” alone don’t suffice.

a demonstration of how easy it is to use proton drive (to share videos and millions of photos she’s going to dump on relatives who are barely interested in seeing another baby photo) and protonMail would be more convincing.

Privacy interfaces have evolved to be attractive to lambda users.

when it comes to your wife uploading your daughters photographs to google servers, she can’t decide alone: you share the authority (but would this argument matter in a marriage? No?

would having a protonMail matter if the photographs are attachments and recipients have gmail? No.

good luck. Not an easy task

android devices with google services

There are currently two aspects to this cross-device integration: hotspot and calls. The idea is that, as long as your two phones are logged into the same Google account, they are part of the same group and can share an instant hotspot or a video call when they’re near each other — no setup or passwords required. And unlike Apple’s or Samsung’s solutions, you don’t need to have devices from one specific brand; this should work across all Android phones, regardless of brand (though we know the instant hotspot won’t work with Samsung devices, sadly).

the Fairphone 5 has sold for €699 and up since it launched last summer, making it kind of pricey for a device with mid-range specs.Now the company has dropped the price to €629 and introduced a new €549 model for customers willing to sacrifice a little memory and storage.

both phones have a microSD card reader. So you’re paying €150 more for just 2 more gb of RAM?

i would consider 4 years to be

• too long amount of time for a job you don’t like (it took you 4 years to realize that you don’t like it?)
• too short for a job you are committed to (you give up only after 4 years?)

After almost 4 years, I find myself lacking the energy and enthusiasm I once had

once i had? energy and enthusiasm he had only 3 years ago?! When i started reading the article i was expecting 15 years, 20, 30+

me, personally?

why would it matter how long i would (or did) stay?

After almost 4 years

he didn’t last much

This is helpful because, when you lower the volume of your music, low and high frequencies start to dip more than mid frequencies.

You don’t need to know what’s in the ISO 226 document to understand the implications of its equal-loudness contours. What it proves is that when you’re listening to audio at low volume levels, frequencies in the midrange sound much louder than low or high frequencies.

i’m guessing that this ignores the compression used and also how the sound is reproduced. If you listen to music through your phone, there are so many variables at place i can’t see how this would matter.

most speakers, head/ear-phones people use don’t reproduce a decent sound anyway but they probably are more than enough for streaming or MP3

is this some kind of a gimmick for those awful phone speakers?

• enable hotspot on the first device
• connect the second device to this hotspot
• open localSend on both
• send and receive

i have an always on vpn, so i have to disable rules and conditions for localSend.

hotspot works fine.

one connects to other’s hotspot and both can send/receive files. Helps when you’re out in the middle of nowhere

localsend makes it easy.

i used it for android to android, android to mac, mac to ipad, &c

i as a fool can confirm that it’s “fool proof”

i thought about this post after reading the description but noticeably i forgot the “ios” part :/

this one does ☞ trackbook

OwnTracks allows you to keep track of your own location. You can build your private location diary or share it with your family and friends. OwnTracks is open-source and uses open protocols for communication so you can be sure your data stays secure and private.

ios + android ☞ https://owntracks.org

Cons: No bundled charger (in Europe).

The OnePlus Nord 4 comes in a fairly standard retail box with the usual user manuals and a USB-A to USB-C cable for charging and data transfer.

is that really a “con”?

how many usb cables do we need? When you get one with each tool you get, you end up with dozens of cables you never use

with uBlock muting all 3rd party it scrolls fine here

lawnchair because of its customizability. icons i want (or made) where i want them to be.

i disable all widgets and feeds anyway so the simpler it’s, the better it is for me. A launcher should become invisible. It should be forgotten behind muscle memory.

arcticons minimal icons also help.

i had to factoryReset and installed lawnchair from fdroid and then i tried the Lawnchair.14.0.0.Beta on their official site too. On these versions, like you wrote, it’s not possible.

only lawnchair-2-0-2589 from Aurora store (on google play store) has that option 🤷
