Agreed the modern push against root access is a prime example of attempted enshitification lock-in. If you don't have root rights, you don't really own it. All other arguments are talking past this key point.

Between podman docker and general VM's there hasn't been a better time to be selfhosting. I tend to find any abstractions on top of this to be quite limiting and difficult to extricate yourself once something goes wrong.

Or if you are using an alternative os you can use a fake google photos app. It used to use your default gallery app, I see it as another anti-competitive choice on googles part

Ok this is not as bad as I feared, disable still works and that uninstalls any updates that app has gotten. It was always a bit surprising you could uninstall an app in a "read only" partition

Probably because everything seems to be an "app" these days. Even when it has no business being one.

Only if they are using hardware key attestation. From what I've read elsewhere it looks like it was never broken so maybe they never went that far before.

This is a really interesting signal tbh. While it sounds like it already works on GrapheneOS having a corporation come out and say they won't go out of their way to break it is quite unusual.

Even without koreader a kobo is refreshingly open to tinkering. Getting root and ssh access is just a matter of renaming a file on the disk. I got the colour after being on an old paperwhite for many years so thankfully it's a big step

Using Proton tricks hasn't been too difficult a task for me on Bazzite and my steam deck. But my modding experience hasn't been that extensive. Mostly tinkering with Deus ex and Starwars x-wing alliance

Except with modern tooling it's not a huge task anymore to run these services. Cost wise on the right hardware it is very cheap to run, add the privacy/personal control aspect it's no wonder so many people do it.

Yes any RSS reader works for this task. There are two types of channel RSS feeds https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=<CHANNEL_ID> And the older https://www.youtube.com/feeds/vide

Functionaly it's dubious if this will not cause further issues. Developer tools cause some security checks to fail. It's not yet known if the unknown apps setting will do the same

The browser would be far too slow for practical use. Local fist software, which ironically outlook is, would be the way to go.

Selfhosted apps are going to start using PWA's in an even bigger way if this goes ahead.

I know I'm writing a complaint to my country's regulator after this. This is just blatant anti-competitive behaviour.

Could have been due to using a free hosting provider for TT-RSS. I self-host it and have done so for almost a decade with very few issues. That said as always with software your mileage may vary. The Read you app looks promising, if a bit d

I still perfer the TT-RSS, now on github without Fox (The dev most people had issues with). The android app isn't maintained at the moment but it's still one of the best rss apps I have ever used

I had issues during COVID. The hand sanitizer and Hand Moisturizer seemed to be a brutal combom on my work MX mice. Everyone had the horrid goop issue as well, you're not mad.

I always find myself missing widgets with KISS. But then when I use a launcher like lawnchair with widgets I rarely end up actually using them. Wish there was something like widget drawer that was FOSS tbh

Not to mention this is a build server, its uptime isn't actually all that critical, assuming they then mirror the artifacts out from there. Not to mention it also simplifies the security of controlling signing keys significantly.

It certainly could be something else other than 5g but it's one of the first things that gets thrown around when battery drain is mentioned and the mobile internet was the main user of power on the phone.

I really wanted to like Graphene OS but I ended up bouncing off it due to a few major pain points that badly effected battery life. - Using the default 5g setting resulted in far worse battery life than stock, telling people to choose 4g is

Calendar and tasks uses CalDav and contacts are CardDav. Very similar to WebDAV but have their own idiosyncrasies. The biggest issue is the web interfaces, there are a ton of edge cases that has taken Nextcloud years to work through. Not to
