Fascinating.

I am seeing that you are writing a matrix client UI basically which is nice but I am interested if its possible that you could write it in (agnostic?) UI way if if it makes sense, where I can swap out any other protocol instead of matrix too

I was just interested in something similar once and there are other protocols like session,simplex,signal etc. too which I feel like can definitely benefit from an unified UI perhaps

Personally I am always interested if any messaging app should just create a cli application/api and have someone else create the UI since I feel like the UI bugs and similar can definitely be fixed if its not in house.

I am curious of your opinion regarding it but the project looks cool!

Personally although I can enjoy telegram's UI, nothing beats cinny's UI ever.

Cinny has the best UI of any messaging app I have ever seen personally, there are only very few things I wish to change in that, which can be changed via userstyle and even recent modern element feels good to me personally but cinny is brilliant overall

So I am interested to hear what your thoughts are on cinny too (cinny.in)

I needed a simple chat UI for a diy "SMS gateway" (for an extra [nearly free] phone number used only to receive SMS - mainly for registrations and deliveries) and I ended up using Delta Chat that uses your email server under the hood. So I implemented all the logic based on emails... but it would be much better to have some nice looking UI with easy integration.

Staff helps! I had this thought today taking the train here in Japan, why I feel safe compared to other countries. Every station is staffed with a real person. Most trains have at least two people in them. One driver and a second staff announcing and checking doors. The staff is clearly visible and in uniform. I know Japans base safety level is higher than the rest of the world. But I think putting trained staff in uniform on display would improve the situation everywhere.

I don't live in Japan, but I don't remember being in a train where there wouldn't be at least two people from the staff in uniforms. Could you explain what you have in mind? Are there trains without drivers or without people checking tickets?

I bookmark a lot with raindrop. But I'm planning to migrate to (or create) some self-hosted solution because it's too much data about me. It takes a while for me to migrate as I really like raindrop's UI. I don't come back to most of the bookmarks tho.

One of the many reasons I love Mullvad (been using it for 4 years now) is their simple pricing—$5/month whether you subscribe monthly, yearly, or even 10 years out.

I wanted to give your product a try, but the gap between the 1-month and 2-year plans is so big that a single month feels like a rip-off, while I’m not ready to commit to 2 years either.

On payments: for a privacy-focused product, Monero isn’t just a luxury, it’s a must (at least for me). A VPN that doesn’t accept Monero forces users into surveillance finance, since card and bank payments are legally preserved forever by processors. That means even if the VPN “keeps no logs,” the payment trail still ties your real identity to the service.

I don't know what payment methods this VPN supports (it requires sign-in), but on Mullvad you also can send cash in an envelope.

I wanted better book recommendations - so I made AI slop generator... do we really need it.

It doesn't give any reasoning why it would be a good recommendation. Just basically random book from the same genre.

I would like to root, but I like my Google pay.

GrapheneOS != root. You don't have root when running GrapheneOS - it would be a security risk.

What is the current conventional UX with GrapheneOS?

Especially regarding:

- Usability of taxi apps like: Uber, Grab, Bolt

- Camera quality versus stock ROM

adikso · 8 months ago
Uber and Bolt apps works like normal. I don't know what is Grab. The default camera lacks post-processing tricks, but you can install Google Camera if you like (shouldn't be a privacy concern here with limited permissions).
