Well that takes the cake as being the weirdest gender euphoria I’ve experienced so far

They could just align the text bottom right, where there’s less gun poking into the area

Development of that has stopped, they are currently working on a new fork called Tubular, which has the additional option of being able to login with a YT account.

Newpipe itself is also currently deciding on whether to do a complete rewrite or not, so the coming months might be a bit slow in terms of new features.

Which is fair, but I’d still like to have the option to manually type in my area code, instead of having to turn on gps.

To be clear, I haven’t come across a weather app that doesn’t allow that, but I also wouldn’t be surpised if there are some out there.

With all that’s going on to systematically profile each and every person that ever went online, goes online, and will go online, that sounds 100% plausible and realistic to me.

I’d love it if Signal officially supported UnifiedPush, it seems to be the most promising direct alternative to FCM. They started talking about quantum-resistant encryption or whatever, but at the same time resorted to using a websocket.

Which is pretty much the least elegant way of doing it. Not something I’d expect from them, to be honest.

Then there’s Tuta Mail, they have a much better way of handling push notifications, but it’s still their own thing too, and instead of promoting something like UnifiedPush, they write blogposts dragging Protonmail for not having an alternative.

(Which I’m also annoyed by, but their posts about it seemed a bit pretentious, which I just hate to see.)

GrapheneOS seems to be the all out best, from what I can tell. It’s just that their strict requirements needed to achieve this level of privacy and especially security severly limit the selection of devices you can use, which is a bummer.

I’m using DivestOS on a OnePlus 5T, runs like a charm.

But Divest is in dire need of funding right now, and might not be able to continue development, so that’s something to keep in mind, sadly

Yeah, the default lineage cam today can’t do a whole lot either

I am actually using a degoogled phone, and the only thing I’m missing are push notifications, for one single app. Everything else I use works just fine for me, but as always, ymmv

And this is why I like Androids feature that automatically revokes permissions after a certain timeframe of not using an app

Does that mean we can make moon photos that are even further from reality now?

Federation had a hiccup there, I’m only seeing your reply now

Supersampling is definitely something interesting, but up to what point? On a sensor this small, even something like 48 sampled to 12 already suffers to a degree where I would stop calling it useful.

Don’t get me wrong here, I can see the use first hand on my own phone. My second lens for night mode does 20MP to 5, and while the image is brighter than the main lens, it’s just as grainy, and a much lower output resolution too.

Now granted, my phone is a few years old now, and modern devices surely have better sensors, but no amount of trickery will make up for those physical limitations.

If it were an actual zoom, at least. I was absolutely delighted when I first learned that some phones do in fact have lenses with a variable focal lenght.

Having that 2x zoom through actual optics instead of it being a cropped image is fantastic, gotta say. I really want my next phone to have that, so that zooming is actually useful.

pixel binning as a ‘solution’ to a problem which needn’t even exist in the first place.

Well, I fully agree with this article. There is one other good use of binning/supersampling though, and that is better chroma resolution relative to luma.

But even that won’t do much, with all the other shortcomings already present.

It is, and I hate it so much. Like, even a full frame sensor would need some proper ISO magic at 200MP

I really don’t get the use of super high resolutions on tiny sensors like that.

Sure, you can have a crazy zoom (aka crop) while still retaining good enough resolution, but at this point?
All the detriments that minuscule, high-res sensors bring about won’t just disappear.

I sure do

On that note, I wish Firefox had a setting to always load sites in reader mode, when available. Ideally with the ability to set exceptions, though.

You can have it if you want to, I don’t really need it
