@oneguynick speaking of which when is #myspace going to join #fediverse

@PixelDroid @PascalCGN I've used the app for months and overall its pretty useful and nice.

Though, when I often find a post I REALLY like I checkout peoples profiles and then will star or bookmark my favorite content & follow.

I often loose my place in the feed and have to start from the top -- so I find using Brave and turning the website into a "App" a little better as I can simply [ open profiles in a new tab ]. Favorite & Close when done and resume my crawl through the feed.

So I guess if I had #feedback for #pixelfed and #pixeldroid it would be -- I need to more easily be able to "Seek" or jump around in the feed -- or at least not loose my spot.

If I could Jump/Seek to a specific date or optionally break it up into [ Pages ] of say 50 - 100 posts that would make it easier to get back to where I was and also reduce bandwidth and data usage for me and the server.

I would also like to subscribe to #hashtags (which i can do on the webapp iirc) and have timelines where my content is curated according to my subscriptions. It would be cool to be able to name my Timelines -- maybe "Work", " Sports" and nest hashtag subscriptions like #skating, #workout under one and #coding under another so I don't need to have separate accounts to have different feeds.

@M0streng0 @Tay0@fosstodon.org To a degree. If you don't have GApps sideloaded then its a significant enough difference. However I did read that each device now has a Unique Advertising ID -- its worth looking into if this is removed.

At this time there really is no practicle answer for people wanting freedom & independence on smartphone, even the modem is on the same board as the CPU which is a threat vector. All smartphone modems in the world are made by 2 companies.

@FediTips hopefully this gets funnier as 2021 gets farther away but the shell shock of this is too real.

@RL_Dane @array @sotolf @theavidhorizon@fosstodon.org what's your terminal?

@CryptoBot If you don't have access to the #opensource code your "property rights" are immaginary

@lunearity Android can't really be fully degoogled, especially if you are doing it on Google Pixel hardware. You really don't want the modem soldered on to the same board as the CPU either if you care about such things which is 99% of devices out there.

The only way to win is to not play. Move back to pocket computers & dumb phones. Get a m.2 modem or LTE or something that can ACTUALLY run mainline linux without a million mystery binary blobs and disconnectable m.2 Bluetooth/WiFi/Modem

@grueproof Thunderbird version 100+ is really good and has gotten a lot of attention these last 2+ years.

Some people may also like MailSpring as it's more of a layman's tool https://getmailspring.com

For webmail roundcube is in pretty good shape

@neglesaks@mstdn.io I always say no to smartphone questions -- no I don't even like phones yet alone want to spend any time on one.

One thing that I think we've lost over the last 20 years is "audio cues" #linux #foss #kde #gnome #opensource -- the desktop used to give a lot more audio feedback as to the events & status of events.

Empty the recycle bin? It had s simple audio cue play

Copy a folder? You have a audio cue to communicate success.

New email? Cue AOL charming & cringy "You've got mail.wav"

OS Startup? You feel like you are getting excited to get something done withe Windows XP - 7 and early 2000s Ubuntu startup sounds.

I think this principle could be taken so much farther -- perform a #rsync Why not have a audio cue for both Success.ogg and Failure.ogg -- or what about #polkit password verification, you are multi tasking on the phone or doing something in your office -- having a cue to redirect your attention to that you need to enter a password would be helpful.

Same thing goes for #pacman #yay and #paru in #archlinux

There are times you are compiling a program and it needs extra privileges to install but you don't notice it -- it would make a huge difference if we had a hook system and could Enable/Disable audio cues & notifications -- that would be a huge improvement.

I could really see this also bringing a lot of value in #linuxphone space, with #ubuntutouch #postmarketos #sxmo and others.

Its really hard to know what your missing when its been so long since you had it.

Plug in a USB Flash Drive? Audio Cue

Connect / Disconnect your phone to your computer? Audio Cue

Remote SSH Connection logs into your machine? Notification & Audio Cue.

With the right sound packs there is so much room for improvement -- #steamdeck #steamos v3 does a good job with this too giving subtle cues as you navigate the UX, startup, shutdown, etc...
