8·2 years ago- The Session open group server sog.caliban.org has been permanently shut down due to the declining state and neglect of the open group ecosystem by its creators.
- The transition from the private cryptocurrency OXEN to the public ERC-20 token SENT is criticized for favoring the project’s creators over loyal community members, leading to potential financial losses for many.
- The author condemns the management of Session for their incompetence and dishonesty, predicting the project’s inevitable failure due to a lack of trust and proper execution.
8·2 years agoEnte it you’re looking for a paid service. (For me, photos are too important to self-host.) They’re end-to-end encrypted and both server and clients are open source.
+1 for LibreDNS! I don’t see it mentioned enough.
I ended up just disabling that notifications channel cuz I don’t care that much it it fails in the background.
Also note that you can pin the paste button to the suggestions bar by long-pressing it.
until its ready for F-Droid release
Just FYI, it is on IzzyOnDroid!
Wow, that’s a gamechanger! HeliBoard has so many neat little tricks like that, but sometimes they’re hard to find.
3·3 years agoThanks for this clarification! That is slightly more palatable.
Thank you!! I’m trying it out now and it’s definitely very promising. I love the swipe on backspace to select and delete. I do wish it had long press on backspace to delete a single word. That plus lowering the long press time makes it so easy to make corrections.
I hate how good SwiftKey’s autocorrect is. I’m definitely on the hunt for a good alternative in this thread.
Out of curiosity, can you give an example of this? I would think the “real identity” of people on Lemmy wouldn’t matter nearly as much as on a people-focused platform like Mastodon or Twitter/X. Plus, icons can be faked and there’s no concept of a verified identity, so the username is the best indicator of identity anyway.
Thunder! It is
- FOSS
- Cross-platform (Android/iOS and you can even build for desktop or web)
- Has some neat features that I haven’t seen in other clients, like a really customizable FAB, material you theming, multiple anonymous instances, ping time and version info for instances, supports 0.19 including new features like instance blocking, an advanced share that can create a microblog style image to share posts
- Very good accessibility
- and lots more.
Coming from Relay for Reddit, I feel very at home in Thunder!
19·3 years agoI’d like to think he was just trying to be respectful of the author, probably having worked quite a bit together. But he changed his mind pretty quickly when he saw the original author had totally checked out. Maybe that’s a generous reading though.
Looks like one of the maintainers/contributors has already set up a fork.
Keep in mind that VPSs will charge for bandwidth, which adds up quickly when you’re streaming.
One suggestion I haven’t seen mentioned is contacting your ISP. Sometimes you can get a dedicated IP, although you might have to pay for it.
Alternatively you might just break down and pay for Plex Pass. I know that goes against the Lemmy philosophy to the very core, but for all its issues, Plex is still way ahead of Jellyfin in terms of features, UI/UX, etc. Jellyfin will get there, and I’m ready to switch the day that Plex becomes unusable, but that hasn’t happened yet.
