Yeah, part of why I want to get one soon is to have a semi recent phone before they can’t do graphene properly anymore

When I can afford $250 I’ll keep it in mind. 🙂

I don’t think anyone has been unreceptive here man. I’ve been been completely cool with what all you’ve said so far and even thanked you for it and haven’t countered anything. Your day going ok?

? Who is Felix? Is that pewdipie?

Did this go to the same place?

The cost of buying a pixel is the only thing stopping me. I don’t have enough to replace my aging phone with much of anything, let alone a pixel.

Not the person you’re replying to, but honestly I don’t pay attention to pop culture shit, so I’d ask honestly too, and thanks for providing the explanation, I assumed he had moved on since I heard little of his antics anymore but it’s good to see info. Don’t assume people know things like that. Just assume they don’t and get to be one of todays lucky 10,000. 🙂

In case you aren’t familiar with the lucky 10k, see here.

Man I want to move to Graphene so bad. I want all the google ripped out of my phone.

PhDs are hard, don’t get discouraged if you get told to rewrite tons of things. My Dad had to rewrite many parts to his dissertation, the arbitrary nature of the rewrites was the hardest part to deal with for him. Hopefully you have better advisors!

Good Luck Luka!

I feel like I’m a minority in this group in that I really don’t like self hosting but I do it anyways because it gives me the things I want from a content/privacy/control/ownership perspective.

Indeed we do. Big fan of your work btw.

I’ve had them side by side in preparation for this day.

I bet! That’s a lot of technical info to sort through, understand and create.

Congrats!!

Well that fuckin sucks dick.

So just like when you send a file you fwd a link, someone tfering files to you must provide the link. They expire in a maximum of 24 hours though so do be aware of that.

Wormhole.app, can’t recall if they have a limit atm

Is Threema still a good option? Anyone know? I know it’s not a fediverse instance just a secure messaging platform. On that note though, can any federated platform really be used as secure messaging? Or is it too open?

I can’t even get an account created because the website isn’t functional. Downloaded the app but it’s not doing me any good.

While that is preferable to the previous one, it’s still only showing 3 posts with tons of wasted space. This is putting an infosparse UI over an infodense application/platform and when you do that you lose functionality and make using the platform more tedious and time consuming. In a way it’s nice but it loses too much function to be appealing in this application. I could see that being an acceptable UI for another platform but not a link aggregator where the whole reason for existing is to gather a lot of information together.

I see this issue through so many newer UIs. Sure it looks nice in a way. But it looses all functionality. We have an info dense application, pairing that with a infosparse UI just causes frustration and excessive scrolling and clicking. Info density matters.
