I've tried quite a few after leaving Nova a few years ago and have settled on Lawnchair. It seems to be the most stable and is under active development.

I'm staying sceptical about these rumours for now until something more substantial comes to light, as currently it is just the Telegram CEO throwing shade at Signal, and the Signal CEO throwing shade back at Telegram

I do run ProtonVPN on all of my devices, daily drive Linux on my PC and laptop, and have GrapheneOS as my ROM. So device privacy is not really the issue. This is more about not wanting to have accounts with the likes of Meta who have time and time again shown that they are completely against user privacy, but I feel it is more and more difficult to live without as most people don't know/don't care about personal privacy.

I have been pro privacy and anti data harvesting for many years now, however it is becoming increasingly more difficult staying off some platforms. Mostly Meta.

Over the years I have convinced most of my friends and family to use Signal instead of WhatsApp. However, there are still chat groups that I am missing from, and trying to keep up to date with local events seems next to impossible without Facebook or Instagram.

Additionally, I am finding it more and more tiring to have the awkward "No I don't have WhatsApp. No I don't have Facebook either. Or Instagram, sorry. Do you want to try an app that you've never heard of to stay in contact with me?" every time I meet someone new.

I saddens me that it feels like the multi-billion dollar data harvesting companies are winning, but I no longer know if this is a hill that I'm willing to die on.

What are your thoughts on what we have to give up in our lives just to stay in control of our personal information?

I'd recommend checking out Gadgetbridge. It is an open source app, with no network permission requirements, that replaces the OEM app for a large number of watches. I'm running an Amazfit GTS 4 with it and it has been almost flawless.

In the UK the max for contactless payments is £100 and contactless is now the norm, so a shielded wallet would be highly recommended.

The front fell off! That's not very typical.

You need to install the Assist Pipeline.

It is fairly straight forward if you can use the add-on manager, but is a little different in docker and there is very little official documentation. If you are using docker just let me know and I'll share my setup.

There is the possibility that he could overtake both Alonso and Sainz for 4th in the drivers championship before the end of the season as well!

Its been a tough few years as a McLaren fan but finally back at the top. So glad to have Piastri on board. Really hope Lando stays with the team.

This looks like a great tool, thank you. One question, does it only allow manual transfers or could it be set up to sync a folder between two devices?

I currently have an Adobe CC subscription that I would really like to end, so am looking for some advice or recommendations. I have been searching around but am struggling to find alternatives due to some fairly strict requirements.

What I am looking for is a Lightroom style app for Linux and Android that would sync to the cloud, or ideally sync to my personal cloud storage. I'm happy to pay a one off lifetime payment but would prefer to donate to a FOSS project if possible.

I have started to play around with Darktable and do know that you can use remote storage but the syncing seems a little clunky.

Any suggestions at all will be very much appreciated.

I tried almost all of the Reddit apps over the years but ended up with BR as I found it was the most polished. Thank you to the devs who put so much effort in, sorry to see it go.

But if I comment then I'll break my 9 year record of being a lurker on social media!
