I tell everyone who will listen about that video lol

You just saved me a click

I suspect they came up with a process for doing the conversions / redactions that worked for the documents they tested it with, and then applied the process to documents in a slightly different format and just didn’t notice. The Verge looked into it and couldn’t get a more specific answer than this:

With MIME, the “=” is used to signal either that a string of text should be broken for transmission and rejoined — a “soft line break” — or, when followed by two other characters, that it should be converted to a particular non-ASCII mark.

it doesn’t fully explain why the “=” sometimes replaces letters, like the “J” in “Jeffrey.” No one I spoke to could definitively answer this question, except to say that email is hard and converting it to PDF is harder, and the DoJ was converting a lot of documents in a hurry.

Expensive things tend to attract the worst kinds of people. The vibes are way better at free or cheap DJ sets

This sucks, but honestly I’m surprised this isn’t more common. How do most registrars deal with spam and abuse?

I often wish I could live without a soul like these ghouls. They seem so much happier

Luckily, in my personal experience, I rarely hear anyone mention Bluesky’s supposed decentralization features. So hopefully there aren’t too many people that are falling for it.

However, the fact that so many people are signing up for what amounts to Twitter 2.0 is troubling in its own right.

postmarketOS, Mobian, Ubuntu Touch, and Mobile NixOS all seem to have recent activity.

As for hardware, although the PinePhone Pro got lukewarm reviews, maybe they’ll iterate and get better or at least prove to other companies that there’s a demand for Linux phones.

I’m hopeful there’ll be at least one usable option within 5 years or so. And if not, I’ll be sticking with GrapheneOS.

The BOOX Palma 2 runs Android so you can easily install Readest and Syncthing on it. It’s a really nice size and has decent build quality in my opinion.

For my next phone, I’m planning on getting a used Pixel or possibly something from whatever OEM they’ve partnered with

Typing this out using HeliBoard now. So far so good, thanks!🔥

What model do you have? Does it support any open source firmware such as DD-WRT, OpenWrt, or FreshTomato?

GrapheneOS doesn’t support Motorola phones

Here’s what I’ve done:

• Delete your advertising ID in the system settings
• Disable the other ad-related settings
• Disable tracking in the keyboard app (long-press , to get to settings, then click “Privacy”) or switch to HeliBoard
• Avoid the Google Play store when possible
• Use F-Droid and Obtainium instead
• Install the DuckDuckGo browser and enable DuckDuckGo App Tracking Protection (I only use the DDG app for app tracking protection and email protection; I don’t browse the web with it)
• Install Firefox with uBlock Origin
• Set DuckDuckGo as your search engine in Firefox
• Make sure your next phone supports GrapheneOS and install that instead of normal Android
• Wait for real Linux phones to become viable and use that in a couple years

Stuff I haven’t done yet but probably will eventually:

• Replace the default home screen app (your home screen is an app, btw)
• Replace the Google keyboard app

I haven’t looked for good alternatives for these yet so if anyone has suggestions, I’m listening!

Great question! No, I can’t.

I wouldn’t be on Lemmy if I wasn’t

It stopped working for me too now 🤔

I can’t be bothered so I’m just gonna call him “the pedophile formerly known as Prince Andrew”

I can’t tell if they changed the headline, or if the HN poster used the wrong link, but this link has the right headline and doesn’t have a paywall:

There’s 29 companies in the “Analytics” category; they must know they have options!
