For me the biggest selling point of e-ink is for reading late at night. Since it's not backlit it's better for sleep, I think? Easier on the eyes, anyways.

If RCS is end to end encrypted, and doesn't use messaging fees, then every reason they decided to drop sms is no longer valid, except for needing to spend more time developing it.

I doubt they'll add it even if they did have the option, but it's not ridiculous that they could.

There's probably a way to do it in browser with ublock origin or another extension.

On android, ReVanced.

No; the background colors are the same but it has an edge

iOS button showing it has an edge between the text and the buttons

For F-Droid in specific, you'll need an F-Droid client. I use Droid-ify (GitHub) (F-Droid) (IzzyOnDroid), but you can use whichever you prefer. F-Droid is a good source for open source apps.

If you're sideloading from different sources, Obtanium (GitHub) (IzzyOnDroid) is useful to download apps, and keep them updated. You can even kinda use it as an F-Droid client.

Google is pretty lax on what it allows on Google play, so unless you're trying to avoid using Google services or you want to install apps that aren't on the play store, you don't need to do it.

If you want adbocking and extra features in some apps (especially YouTube), check out ReVanced.

Google isn't lying - there are risks to sideloading if you don't know what you're doing. Make sure what you're downloading is coming from legitimate sources you trust. For example, if you look up ReVanced, some unofficial websites show up which may have malware. Triple check everything is coming from an official source.

No, I don't think so. Iirc it's because of google locking it down

I have fennec f - droid and can't find how to download them easily. What fork are you using?

I'm 99% sure that signal isn't peer to peer. Afaik all messages go through signal's servers, but they're end to end encrypted so the server can't see message contents, or who the messages are coming from.

The only thing that's peer to peer are calls, but you can turn on 'Always relay calls' from settings to relay them through Signal's servers.

Lemmy's subscriber user count is usually wrong.

You only see the true number if the community is on your instance

Check the community from the original instance to see the actual number of subscribers

If you're searching for instances, you should use https://lemmyverse.net/communities since it lets you quickly compare subscribers, shows you more results and also is just better overall

Interesting. On my client (Eternity) both the picture from Reddit and the picture from gify.nou.cz load. On the Lemmy website only the Reddit image loads.

Yeah, just upload pictures in the post body. Like you do in comments you can do it in the post text as well.

Image: Sign that says "Go Away! No Mushroom Hunting. Mine! They are ALL mine!

Lemmy has a way of doing it automatically, but if you want to do it manually the formatting is

I can't find any way to change the comments sort, and they seem to be sorted kinda randomly. Is there any way to change it?
