#AdoptDontShop and don’t support breeders/puppy mills.

No such thing as a “pure bred” dog anyways.

Plus, mutts have far fewer health problems. “Pure breeds” are largely inbred and products of incest.

Yeah, it’s only an aggregator that then points you to the original content. For legal reasons, I don’t think OpenSourcely would be able to host the original content natively.

I started a website called OpenSourcely to do exactly this.

It aggregates news, projects, and announcements related to open source.

I’m always on the lookout for new RSS feeds and outlets to add to it, so if anyone has any, feel free to send them my way.

Yep. Hence why we need to remake the internet.

That’s nice of you, but it appears that the ad-supported business model doesn’t work. It just results in enshittification and surveillance.

“We cannot have a society in which, if two people seem to communicate, the only way that it can happen is if it’s financed by a third person who wishes to manipulate them.”

This is why enshittification might be a good thing ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Canva.

Their feature set and functionality is great, but their vendor lock-in is really off-putting. Even just within their platform, it’s really difficult to move assets around within workspaces.

Let alone edit graphics that you made on Canva and edit them elsewhere, say Penpot, for example.

Selena - No Me Queda Más

Arctic Monkeys - 505

Eminem - Headlights

GnR - November Rain

Nope. I suppose in theory it could, but not necessarily—it’d be up to Apple/Google to make the color decisions regarding that.

The important thing here is that it’s not about the colors themselves, but about what the colors signify.

Apple chose blue to denote that the message you’re sending is to another Apple device. By default, this Apple-to-Apple message uses the iMessage protocol. If it uses iMessage, then that implies a certain security standard.

Apple also made the deliberate choice to denote non-iMessage texts with green. If it’s green, then it’s SMS/MMS, you lose iMessage encryption, and other features like reactions.

The colors are not gonna change by default—it’s up to them to coordinate what colors are used for what. Apple’s not gonna open up iMessage (at least not voluntarily, and we saw how far they’ll go with Beeper), so Google can’t do anything about that. Which is also why they’re pushing so hard to get Apple to adopt RCS.

If Apple does adopt RCS, maybe they’ll denote it with purple bubbles, who knows. Then you’d have iMessage as blue, RCS as purple, and SMS/MMS as green.

But again, this is all about what each color signifies in terms of privacy and security.

The thing is… The bubble colors do matter. But people aren’t caring about the colors for the right reasons.

The color matters because the color has to do with the security of that message.

Sending a message through the iMessage protocol is more secure than SMS/MMS.

People should care that their messages are secure and private (and they do care, they just don’t always realize it or know it yet). Unfortunately, the people behind the whole blue vs. green bubble culture war don’t seem to focus on this security aspect, which is actually what/why it matters.

As an Apple investor who would benefit from more iPhone sales, “Buy an iPhone” is not the right response/solution to this problem, despite what Tim Apple says.

Choose open source. Say no to walled gardens.

Use—and donate to—Signal.

Greetings from GrapheneOS, as a former iOS and stock Android user.

Any benefit over just downloading the APK directly without managing it through Obtanium? I ask cause I’m guessing that for Mull, since there are no releases on its GitLab repo, it’ll just have to be downloaded directly.

I use Obtanium too, but I can’t figure out how to install apps that are hosted on GitLab.

What do you have to change in Obtanium?

Here’s Mull, for example: https://gitlab.com/divested-mobile/mull-fenix

Daily:

• Signal
• GrapheneOS
• Bitwarden
• Firefox/Mull
• VPN
• Baserow

Not daily:

• Lemmy
• Mastodon
• Pixelfed
• Invidious
• Cryptomator
• Aegis
• Penpot
• Aurora
• LocalSend
• OSM
• Obtanium
• Voyager
• Open Video Editor
• OpenScan
• Cryptee
• Element

I may not be fully understanding your use case, but Baserow has forms and is API-first. It sounds like it would do it, if I’m understanding correctly.

It’s open source and has both hosted and self-hosted versions.

Disclaimer: I’m part of the Baserow team.

Literally no reason not to use metric, idc who or where you are

How did you pull Mull into Obtanium? When I paste the GitLab URL into Obtanium, it says that there’s no APK found.

Should be required reading IMO for anyone ever ~on Github :P~

Fixed.

Synology Photos. I’ve heard Immich is quite good too.

Sounds like crypt.ee would be a good fit.

It’d be helpful to learn more about your requirements. Does it need to be open source? Any must-have features? Native apps? Etc.
