How many Mooches per Truss?

Good thing I never use mine to sign up for any ‘free’ services.

Trying various methods without adb/shizuku give:

Exception occurred while executing ‘night’:
java.lang.SecurityException: getNightModeCustomType requires MODIFY_DAY_NIGHT_MODE permission

cmd uimode gives the options but executing any options ends in error.

Anything beyond that is beyond me.

But, maybe this can help if you want to do the real programming stuff I can’t

Another thing I think might be needed is to add a line to reload termux.properties I created an alias because the command is so long. trs=termux-reload-settings

*edit: it was late and I was throwing ideas. I made a solution that actually works in another comment.

I’m thinking you could have separate color profiles with a script that to change the file using symbolic link?

(I don’t know what I’m doing, I’m a figure it out as I go type, but maybe it’ll work. Please help!)

You’d need something like shizuku (allows shell operation permission) or root to be able to read the system dark mode status.

Using shizuku you could call it by

rish -c 'cmd uimode night'

Which would show

Night mode: yes / no

If you did that you could us an if statement (I don’t really know how to write that out confidently at the moment)

And use that fuction to change the symbolic link to the color.properties file instead of the at a specific time I used below.

So you keep 2 (or more) color profiles in separate files and call those locations to link to based on time of day / uimode.

You could put the script in the .boot (to automatically start) or .shortcut (to start with the widget) Or maybe add the command to run the script in the termux bash_bashrc or profile file to have it execute on each session launch.

#!/bin/sh

at 1200 #noon

ln -sf [/path/to/new_file] ~/.termux/color.properties

at 1900 #7pm

ln -sf [/path/to/new_file] ~/.termux/color.properties

I use shizuku which allows for shell and hidden api access forother apps. That can be used to deny permission to other apps.

App-ops by the same Dev has a clipboard monitor that notifies every time an app tries to access.

It also allows per app denial

A dictionary I found from the future has this entry:

Google: the once not evil garage-based company that inspired hope in the dream that information wants to be free that decided to redeem its principals and innovative spirit to enrich a few cunts, invade the privacy of everyone, and enshitify the internet. Near its end it fed into the shareholder zeitgeist while completely ignoring the needs and wants of the users.

Wow! Amazing! My dreams have come true.

I will continue to never use chrome.

Also, if you have a VPN with/or DNS blocking capabilities, you can find the API endpoints here

Giving money to google is the barrier for me.

It does.

You can also install all the different versions/forks of FF for android for more separation. (Nightly, mull, tor, etc)

You could also use termux and set up something like tinyproxy to route specific sites to the various proxies.

Something like invizible has an outbound socks proxy setting so you could use that to send all traffic to your local http/socks proxy.

A lot of browsers have plugins like foxyproxy that will let you set global (per browser) or site/wildcard proxies.

3 Singbox

They can all be used together or separately as proxies or VPN.

1 and 2 allow for per app routing, blocking, firewall, etc. depending on mode(VPN or proxy)

3 allows to set up local or remote proxies, tunnels, etc.

Not sure what the real difference or benefit is here, but my phone app (google, but not pixel) already labels calls as “likely fraud” or “likely spam”.

You would have to answer the call for this to be useful, no?

It will always be 1993 for vr.

It will always be the future.

It will always suck.

Oh no!

Where am I going to play solitaire now???!!!

Nice. Thanks for the info.

If this is the one you’re referring to, they have a bunch of other no internet required, no ads, privacy friendly, foss apps.

Don’t use these.

That’s, uh, pretty fucking ironic.

“These unredacted documents prove that TikTok knows exactly what it’s doing to our kids – and the rot goes all the way to the top,” the group wrote on X.

Ironic.

These seem ok.:

So, I guess it does the trick.

Out of curiosity, have you tried setting your mobile browser to Desktop mode to view the page?

This and others by simple are exactly that.
