IMO this and Material File Manager are currently the best for android
however, i think they all need improvement. such as:
i thought Firefox translator didn't have and East/Southeast Asian languages besides Vietnamese (because of Roman characters) so far
hahaha yeah vox is so antique with everything they cover
not sure exactly what features you need but there are
if command line is OK, ffmpeg is the most versatile and customizable and tons of support docs and question forums (superuser, stackoverflow, askubuntu) for every conceivable niche one-off operation
apparently Uk govt has never played watch dogs legion, nor seen Equilibrium (C Bale movie), nor Minority Report, nor Richard III, nor read Brave New World, nor the billion other movies, novels, games, poems, songs, Banksy art, social videos, cave paintings, etc that specifically warned UK not to (re)become the villain (over and over again)
it's like the 2nd most popular culture topic.... after "love" or something
but noooo, just had to be edgelordsandladies.gov.uk

those ceos and rich ppl who as kids get away with saying "the dog ate my homework"
they're probably so used to that, the "underperformance" was probably part of the original plan. cuz they're so accustomed to the shareholder hype cycle, they just plan cyclical hiring and layoffs in the same meeting.
they're economic cannibals
hang 'em by their toes!
Re: Blocking/Disabling DMs, I see the feature is "complete". Can I use this yet? If so, please give instructions.
Requirements Is this a feature request? For questions or discussions use https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_support Did you check to see if this issue already exists? Is this only a feature request? Do not p...
This could also help minimize effect of "Nicole the fediverse chick".
Agree.
I also think a federated wiki is a great idea.
I think the way to do that is: instead of having separate realities/universes linked together by search and federation, try to unite those universes into a shared multiverse, to the greatest possible.
In other words
of course, there may be attempts to obfuscate relatedness, astroturfing, brigading, whatnot. I wonder if its possible to visualize voting results for each duplicated/linked article along with the originating instance. I think this would function as a pseudo version of 'community fact-checking'. Maybe a better name would be 'reality-checking' or 'sanity-checking' or whatever.
what the hell.... are they afraid of crowdsourced luigism? are they full magat now?

awesome, i hope it works out

i haven't tried these yet but i think they might do the same with enough setup

I've heard that the later is used by journalists and osint investigators to gather & organize info automatically.
anyone have firsthand experience with either?
the rss app?
they would need to pair it with a search engine that offers custom rss feeds
so boring...

TVer ('teever' or 'teebaa'), free streaming Japan dramas, anime, comedy/variety (ad-supported)
site for watching Japanese tv programs.
it aggregates streams offered by separate tv stations. some episodes are simulcast online with the tv broadcast. most are recorded.
the site is ad supported, i think. haven't watched without ad blocker. but being Japan, it is behind in technology so they have no ad block circumvention or anti-adblock features so far.
be aware: may need vpn to appear as Japan user.
SITE IS ALL IN JAPANESE
シャキシャキ vs シャカシャカ
a friend recently asked me if the onomatopoeia for smacking/chomping fresh crispy veggies would also apply to the shaking of French fries (pommes frites) in a bag of powdered seasoning.
we were both frustrated at my answer...
fyi: for those still learning kana, the title is "shakishaki vs shakashaka"
Multilingual people all must have experienced YouTube's f**kery with auto translation. Still no workaround?
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/40428037
even using FreeTube, i have to change audio track and subtitle settings almost non-stop...
it's slightly less annoying to see wrong/unnecessary subtitles. but it's pretty confusing/tiring when the algorithm interprets sound effects or music (instrumental even) as Hindi or Uzbek or something and i have to turn off subs even if there is no talking.
audio on the other hand 🤬👿👹
even if I watch a video not in either of my 2 fluent languages, i don't ever want to hear any dubbed/ai-gen audio track.
any idea if this is in YouTube's issue tracker?
regardless, in the absence of fix from YouTube side, any clue if this can be improved on the client side?
PS - any responses telling me to just watch peertube instead will be downvoted and user will be blocked. fyi i don't reject watching peertube but my chosen antidote for the corporate streaming disease is 🏴☠️

Graphene OS Devs or users, Play Integrity updates -> Aurora DOA? or just need a few more workarounds/alternatives?
To what extent will these changes, and potential future changes along the same trajectory, affect the use of un-substitutable apps on Graphene OS?
The transition to the new verdicts will reduce the device signals that need to be collected and evaluated on Google servers by ~90% and our testing indicates verdict latency can improve by up to ~80%.
the huge ratio of reduction suggests to me that the attestation is being offloaded from Google servers to on-device AI, but maybe i assume wrong. my instinct tells me Google would always make this impossible for 3rd party OS to implement anyway.
Hypothetically, If implementing that AI in Graphene could allow most attestation-requiring apps to install and run normally, is that something the Graphene devs would do? i know it would have to be secure and private, so assuming there was a way...

India Tax Agency will gain access to citizen email, social accounts
Synopsis
Starting April 1, 2026, the income tax department will have the authority to access social media, emails, and other digital spaces to curb tax evasion. This has been granted to them under the new income tax bill. This will also include search and seizure powers over your assets and documents, which have raised major privacy concerns. Experts warn of challenges to fundamental privacy rights without judicial oversight and procedural safeguards.
Gboard safe to use with network permission revoked?
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/38292767
for English i use heliboard. but i type in other languages also, and there are no practical choices in foss keyboards for those specific languages which also have the mainstream IME/key layout for my language (not qwerty).
fcitx provides some hope for the future but for now, it also doesn't have the IME/key layout for my language (only has qwerty). hopefully it can also have handwriting in the future somehow (if only via user-installed model/blob similar to heliboard glide typing).
anyway, I'm on Graphene OS. so i wondered if revoking network permission and setting gboard permanently to incognito (is permanent possible?) would suffice to cut off data collection?

is there anything like an app/script for .tar files that automates configure-make-makeinstall into a single step for the end user? (after onetime manual config)
In my understanding, the options need to be customized for each machine, as well as the fact that making packages for tons of distros can be a lot of work for solo or small team devs, and that's why some software is provided as .tar only.
but it seems like the install process on the user side could be automated to a single command or drag-drop, as long as the script would throw informative alerts for any errors and the user is prepared to take over manually.
does something like this exist in a standalone form that's not bundled like snaps or flatpaks?
if not, is there a broadly-applicable reason (security, damaging OS, etc) that makes it a terrible idea? or simply that no one has gotten to it?
correction: Briar chat desktop client "expired". No update timeline yet. (was: Briar chat desktop client "expired". Still an active project?)
Sorry if this is not an acceptable topic. I will move/delete it if needed.
Just wondering if anyone knows the status of Briar desktop. I was using it to communicate between my devices when internet (WAN) is down, but the desktop client, both windows and linux, displayed an expiration warning for the past few months. I was trying to be patient and wait for a new version, or at least a "renewed" version, but the expiration date has passed and I've had to move to a different messenger.
I read an issue on the git page mentioning the reason for incorporating an expiration date. But I could not find mention on the internet of a timeline or even whether or not the desktop app would be continuing after expiration.
