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?

If anything, installing GrapheneOS on a Pixel probably reduces the risk of something happening to your phone, that’s kind of the point with having an Android distribution that maximizes security and privacy.

And because the installer is so simple that you just connect your phone, open a browser and hit three buttons, it’s really unlikely that you’ll accidentally brick your phone trying to install it.

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

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.

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

Indeed, rooting usually beats the purpose.

Not because it inherently makes you less private, but because having bad security makes it hard to be private, and opening up a way in android to allow apps to do what they want (selective root access) usually requires punching a lot of holes.

Even with AVBRoot, which allows you to setup Magisk or KernelSU with full Verified Boot support, you’re still leaving open the possibility that something abuses the fact you’re rooted against you.

But just so you know, if you insist, you can skip the step of locking your pixel’s bootloader and install Magisk, but do not expect any support from that point onwards.

I run Ryujinx already, more accurate anyways :)

At this point its not just “vote with your wallets” because they have like a 8B+ global turnover

Me not giving them 60 bucks does nothing, even the entire Fediverse not giving them 60 bucks would do nothing.

Though, them thwarting game preservation efforts on the basis of shitty DRM? Thats what I’d like to see fought.

The title is a bit misleading, the badge says affiliated, not made

have they paid 2.4 million? Last time someone with supposedly that much funding got fucked over by Nintendo they have been sent to jail, and once they came out had to basically pay rent to nintendo for the rest of time.

The reason we didn’t hear anything of that, if I had to guess, is probably an NDA.

We really need someone with budget to take Nintendo to court over this.

Sadly, I don’t think that will happen.

discord and messenger are pretty bad when it comes to privacy, neither even bother end-to-end-encrypting calls.

Signal really is the best choice, but due to the phone number registration requirement, unless you’re fine with the one-time purchase of some prepaid SIMs or something, that might get a bit annoying.

SimpleX is decent enough with calls for now (when they work), but connection times can be abysmal

This is where I would jump to Matrix / Element, but Element is currently in the middle of re-making their mobile Apps, including the entire calling feature 🥴

Probably the only downside with this is the fact that it can take quite some time for the call to actually connect

I mean, in the context of anonymity that is very good due to it’s design, but maybe not perfect for this usecase

My copy of Breezy Weather has Precipation Notifications 🤔

Generally, the best you can do is search.

SearXNG was useful once more, and I expected Sony devices to support VoLTE anyways as they’ve been doing that for years.

you can fit hail to do that, as apps are unaccessible without going through Hail, and Hail has an option to lock it behind pattern/fingerprint 🤔

The System’s VPN imementation is broken. All of them are broken.

The code itself is just text, an IDE just gives you fancy integration.

archive.is has mirror domains, like https://archive.ph/blyOI you’re welcome

Also, the source here: https://www.androidpolice.com/mozilla-firefox-android-tablet-tab-bar-nightly/

They’ve started basing the version number in Lawnchair off of the Stock Android Launcher versions they are basing on.

You cannot put Firefox’ search widget down there. That is the point they’re making
