I wonder what the overlap of Calckey users and Beehaw users is.

Does the Fairphone not support Android Auto with microg/opengapps/etc?

Fairphone drawbacks? (self.technology)
submitted 1 year ago by fluorine to c/technology
 

There’s been a lot of buzz here about the Fairphone here lately, especially with it coming to the US.

On paper, it seems rather nice. Ethically sourced, privacy friendly stock ROM.

But the skeptic in me does say, “there is no ethical consumption under capitalism.”

What are the drawbacks of Fairphone that seem to be shunned away, or less discussed both by the company and community at large? Why shouldn’t I just buy a Pixel 7a and put GrapheneOS on it instead?

Essentially just "Get Contents of URL" and sharing the result.

This terrifies the data hoarder part of me :(

A few of my absolute essentials:

  • Open URI - what it says on the tin. So very helpful for all those times when a YouTube link opens in the browser.
  • Quick Look - also what it says on the tin. Invaluable for previews- I also recently discovered it can be used as an ephemeral markup button! Helpful for filling out bingos and immediately texting the result.
  • Fetch Image - helpful when trying to share “images” (that are actually image links - Discord especially likes to be annoying about this) to other apps. Just fetches the image and lets me share the actual image instead.
  • Stitch - a really budget version of the Tailor app. Usual workflow goes like, take a bunch of screenshots, crop them so they perfectly align vertically, share to Stitch and copy the result to clipboard :)

I mostly use these shortcuts on iOS; on macOS, Preview does everything I need and more!

That probably explains it. Strange behavior.

 

I’ve started to see some posts from those instances showing up on the “all” page when sorting by new, so wanted to know if the admins refederated with those instances.

Even though the law-abiding part of me says that game source leaks are bad, I still feel quite a bit of giddy joy whenever I hear about one!

From the article:

A protein called USAG-1, synthesized by the gene, was found to limit the growth of teeth. In other words, blocking the action of that protein could allow more teeth to grow.

It would be a great community norm to encourage reading the article first, at least here on Beehaw <3

Wefwef is wonderful but being an iOS user I do sort of miss the native toolkit-built feeling of apps like Apollo. PWAs need more native functionality, native UI elements and essentially the ability to act as first class apps and bypass things like CORS.
