Irregularly Updated Community Feedback: PipedLinkBot Gone Rampant Edition
pin
Previously: [Submission Statement Edition](https://lemmy.world/post/3297922) Haven't done these in a while, so let's get started. 1. Since we haven't really heard any feedback one way or the other, *rule 8 is now official*. To be fair, we've had a lot less microblog posts than I expected (only one Twitter/X post in the last month even after I waited longer than the initial 1-2 weeks expected, and that was a crosspost.) - Again, the rules are always a work in progress, feel free to give your two cents here whenever you like. 2. As you guys know, PipedLinkBot went completely insane 2 days ago and looks like it's temporarily shut down. So, I'd like to use this opportunity to explain why I banned the bot pretty much immediately after our community reopened. (And gloat a bit, of course) - Even though I do agree with the principle of using open source, privacy focused frontend instead of using Youtube directly, I have a real problem with using a bot to respond every time somebody posts a Youtube link. It feels like spam, and it doesn't feel like it serves any utility besides pushing an agenda (even though many people here would agree with it). Most people have seen it around here enough to use pipedvideo if they wanted it to use it already. - I think it's always been a rage inducing part of the reddit experience that you see you received a response to your comment, but only have it been a bot smugly correcting your grammar or tell you all your letters are in order or something useless like that. So, for this place, I would like to make sure that everyone you talk to here is a real person as much as possible, because people inspire people to be greater, but bots don't.

They're conflating us with companies selling closed source products using portions of our code. Both French state media and corporate media are publishing many stories attacking the GrapheneOS project based on false and unsubstantiated claims from French law enforcement. They've made a clear threat to seize our servers and arrest our developers if we do not cooperate by adding backdoors. Due to this, we're leaving France and leaving French service providers including OVH. We need substantial help from the community to push back against this across platforms. People malicious towards us are also using it as an opportunity to spread libel/harassment content targeting our team, raid our chat rooms and much more. /e/ and iodéOS are both based in France, and are both actively attacking GrapheneOS. /e/ receives substantial government funding. Both are extremely non-private and secure which is why France is targeting us while those get government funding. We need a lot more help than usual and we're sending our the first ever notification to everyone on the sewer because this is a particularly bad situation. If people help us, it will enable us to focus more on development again including releasing experimental Pixel l0 releases very soon.

I've written this blog post about moving from rooted Samsung to a Pixel running GrapheneOS. It's a list of every root tool that I used, with a note on whether I'll miss it. I wrote it as a checklist for myself initially, and decided to add links and more comments and publish it. Turns out I don't really need root, which truly surprised me. Do you have any apps or tools that hold you back from leaving root?

Need help using Odin/Thor CLI (Samsung firmware flash)
Guides seem to reference only the UI version meant for Windows. I only have Linux machines right now and while I probably could spin up a temporary VM I'm guessing that will have its own headaches. I got all the way to the point of choosing my IMG files but chickened out because, again, no real guides on selecting individual IMG files since the old method would use an entire TAR file. Any help would be appreciated. For a little more context I'm trying to convert my phone to a "carrier free" firmware so I get updates from Samsung instead.

Samsung Clipboard History
I have made a work profile using Shelter. I was copy-pasting some stuff in my personal profile while the work profile was disabled. Later, I discovered everything I had copied was showing up in Samsung Keyboard’s clipboard history (in the work profile). Personal profile’s Samsung Keyboard was uninstalled via ADB (among some other packages like Google Play Services), implying a different package is doing this. How can I find the culprit? (I’d love to just install LineageOS on it but there isn’t a built for the device yet. I just don’t use it for sensitive stuff.) I might have a lead: whatever it is probably has the READ_CLIPBOARD_IN_BACKGROUND permission, but I wasn't able to find it. Is there an adb command to list all packages with a specific permission, perhaps?

My phone’s on it’s last legs. what do you recommend as a replacement?
i have a oneplus 9 (LE2113, if that matters) and the battery is starting to give. i'll try to have it replaced when it goes fully unusable but i'd like to already have a replacement in mind so i don't risk going without a phone for too long. any recommendations? my current phone has never been slow, so i don't really care for a more powerful hardware. i would like one from a brand with as little software bullshit as possible though (i've seen the horrors of redmi software and want to stay as far away from That as possible). and in case anyone is wondering, i'm not brave enough to try rooting my main phone lol. any help would be greatly appreciated edit: i don't know if i worded myself poorly but by 'rooting' i also mean installing a third party os. i would like a phone that is not awful out of the box if such a thing exists.

**After extensive testing, [it's finally here: the new SHIFTphone 8.1 with iodéOS is now available](https://novacustom.com/privacy-friendly-phone/) at NovaCustom! It's a privacy-friendly phone that's not only user-friendly and secure, but also sustainable and fully modular. This smartphone stands for privacy, security, freedom of choice, and repairability: values that perfectly align with NovaCustom's mission.** * https://novacustom.com/privacy-friendly-phone/ ## Why NovaCustom and SHIFTphone are the perfect match At NovaCustom, we believe that users should have control over their own hardware and software. The SHIFTphone is perfect for this in terms of hardware: it has a modular design and is easy to repair. In terms of software, the original product is less than ideal: it comes with Google software as standard. NovaCustom replaces that software with iodéOS by default. This is an operating system without Google services (only [microG](https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/wiki), but it can also work without it!). This gives you a privacy-friendly phone with maximum control over your data. ## Fully modular and customizable | [![Modular Smartphone](https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnovacustom.com%2Fstorage%2F%2FShiftphone-8-modular-design-1024x662.png)](https://novacustom.com/privacy-friendly-phone/) | |:--:| | NovaCustom [launches the SHIFTphone 8.1](https://novacustom.com/privacy-friendly-phone/) | Whether you want to replace a screen, insert a new battery, or simply tinker with your smartphone yourself, the SHIFTphone makes it possible. No glue, no frustration, just pure freedom. NovaCustom has been supporting this principle for years with configurable laptops, and now we are bringing that same idea to smartphones.

How Forward Text messages (SMS) in 2025 ??
Hi, I would like to forward automatically [Text messages](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sms). A couples of years before, I was doing it easily with some [FLOSS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free/libre_and_open-source_software) apps But none of those apps (I keep the apk ;) ) works anymore on "recent" AOSP[^1] phone 🤨 ( Thanks to g**gle, to not take care of retro-compatibility ).. So, I lost time to dig for new apps (FLOSS and not) - https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.pierreduchemin.smsforward/ The GUI is launching, but nothing happen.... not even an error message. - https://apkpure.com/sms-forwarder/com.frzinapps.smsforward in addition do not be FLOSS it weight 70MB XD !!! , no thank you. I'm willing to write a "Shell" script to run under Android, to just do that (I've never developed for Android, so if you have any advice I'm all ears ) or any other solution like - Linux phone ROM ( without systemd ) - or maybe a simcard dongle, to allow my Linux computer to receive/send text ? [^1]: a ROM that use [AOSP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_Open_Source_Project) is generally [gapps](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Workspace) free 😍

Looking for a Mi 10t Lite 5g replacement that’s not a Pixel please
Hi all :) I need to replace my Xiaomi Mi 10t Lite 5g, so my wife has agreed to buy me a replacement for Christmas. I'm clueless when it comes to phone chipsets though, so I need some help. I posted a similar request last year for my wife, and we're in pretty much the same boat now, so I've quoted the relevant part of that post below. The main differences are, she went for a Motorola Moto G85, but I can't stand the wraparound screen, and if possible, I'd like to get a phone with usb 3 that can potentially act as a desktop replacement and connect to AR glasses, but the last part isn't important. >The main things she needs are, decent battery life, an SD card, NFC, and more than 64GB of internal storage. If the OS can be changed in the future to get security updates, that would be a bonus. Given the direction that they seem to be going, with collecting data and locking down the bootloader, I'd prefer to move away from Xiaomi if possible. >The catch is though, we're on a small budget. Thanks to Christmas, we've only got around £200 to £250 to spend. If there's a significant upgrade, we can go to about £300, but that's a stretch. I did look at the Poco M6 Pro, the Samsung A55, and the Tecno Spark 20 Pro, which seems to be ridiculously cheap, but don't know if they're still considered decent. Thanks :) EDIT: Sorry, I forgot this bit. Pixels are no good for me because of the lack of SD card support. I'm regularly in places with no internet connection, so keep my media on my SD card.

This is in the native phone app. I'm in the US. Definitely didn't have this feature before. It announces when you start recording. I know it's been a thing with some other phones and in other countries, but hey it's cool to have it on my Pixel 8.

I've been unable to access the PlayStore all day. It tells me I'm not signed in even though my profile picture is visible in the top right corner. When I tap "Try again" nothing happens. When I tap on my profile picture and then select "Google Account" it tells me I'm not connected to the internet (see screenshot). But I am, using my browser for example works just fine. The only other app I've noticed having problems is Weather, which is unable to refresh and also tells me there's no internet connection. Any idea what's going on here?

This could also potentially mean that Steam itself comes to Android (at least in the EU) to allow cross-buy and cross-progression.

If you’ve immersed yourself in to the world of Pokémon you’ll be excited to find out that you can add another level to your obsession thanks to the debut of the Pokémon Sleep app on the Play Store. Ostensibly aiming to help you get a better sleep routine, the Pokémon Sleep app will track your sleeping habits via your smartphone and use Pokémon to show how you slept and let your research them to achieve a ‘Sleep Style Dex’. All you need to do is to download the Pokémon Sleep app to your smartphone (or buy a Pokémon Go Plus+ companion device) and place said device next to your pillow (not under) so it can track your sleep. The Pokémon Sleep app has the following features: See Your Sleep Score and Sleep Type: You can get a sense of what your sleep was like by checking your sleep score, which is based on how long you slept. And how about your sleep type? You may be deemed to be “dozing,” “snoozing,” or “slumbering” type for the night, based on how much you moved in your sleep. Check Out Your Sleep Trends: You can look back in detail on how regular your sleep has been on a week-by-week basis. You may discover new insights into your sleep as you check your past trends, such as what time you tend to hit the hay on different days of the week. Let Soothing Sounds Support Your Sleep: With features like Pokémon-inspired music to relax you into sleep, plus smart alarms that wake you when you’re in a shallow stage of sleep, Pokémon Sleep may help you to rest your very best. Review Audio Recorded When You Sleep: Various noises detected during your sleep tracking will be automatically recorded. You can play these recordings back and hear your snores and sleep talk or environmental noises, such as from traffic or wind. What A Day Looks Like in Pokémon Sleep: When Night Falls…: It’s time to track your sleep! All you need to do is place your smart device by your pillow, then call it a night. A New Day Dawns: By the time you wake, Pokémon will have gathered in Pokémon Sleep based on your sleep type and how long you slept. Carry out research on these Pokémon’s sleep styles to complete your Sleep Style Dex! And the Rest of the Day…: Raise Snorlax big and strong! Snorlax will grow larger by receiving Berries from the Pokémon you befriend. The more you raise Snorlax, the greater your odds will be of encountering Pokémon with rare sleep styles!

My OnePlus 8 pro finally crapped out, need new phone suggestions
Hey y'all, my OnePlus 8 pro is donezo, ling story short it got major damage that I just didn't even see happen but it was on its way out regardless. Now the reason I got a OnePlus is because when I first got them, they were the pinnacle of "moddable phones" any root or rom you could think of it was basically built to be rooted. Now though from what I hear the company has decided to go in a different direction, real shame. So now that I'm back in the market for a new phone ow as wondering if y'all had any suggestions.

I was using aurora store for awhile and today I got a notification tell me to update this app. I have no idea what it do exactly, but I always try to degoogle my phone as much as possible. It would help a lot if someone can give an answer. Thank in advance.
