never been diagnosed.

agnizing over tasks happens often, and at the same time I'm not actually bringing any pleasure to myself by avoiding it.

ah yes, writing a letter. just like the millions of people that UHC ~~murdered~~ wrote letters to.

UHC and many other health insurance companies in the US will and do let people die in order to keep profits. Brian Thompson was complicit in this process. His murder is fully justified.

I don't want a future where murder and violence is the only way to bring issues to light, but when governments, regulations, and other protections fail us, people get desperate. They are left with no other choice.

this, except it's just an upsetting reminder that the task I'm putting off is not even that hard, yet I'm still not doing it.

this is honestly the conclusion I'm getting to after trying out Lawnchair and Kvaesito, like others in this thread have recommended

this is what I do currently (GrapheneOS Network Permission), but I'm just curious if there are any other alternatives out there. it's slightly easier to have trust the software I use from the get-go, not hinder it so it can be trusted, if that makes sense

I'm mostly fine with any launcher, as long as you can put apps in folders in the app launcher, as well as hiding some apps altogether. Lawnchair looks interesting and I'll check it out

 

I've always used custom launchers on Android. The stock launchers like One UI Home and Launcher3 just don't cut it for me.

Despite that, I'm hard pressed to find any open-source launcher that meets my expectations like Smart Launcher does.

Any suggestions?

I agree that it looks dry in this photo, and that might have something to so with my camera + the lighting. The dosa pictured in reality is not very thin and crispy and is thick enough to make sure none of that sauce goes to waste.

Likewise, I know a lot of people that would for sure appreciate some chutney on the side, and I love making roti with this instead of dosa as well.

I personally don't have it that way, but you have my word that none of the sauce goes to waste :)

Google cannot see any message content of Signal notifications through FCM. It's more like a "heads up" to the Signal app, telling it "hey, there are new messsges. wake up and check what they are.". The Signal app then checks for messages and does all the decrypting and whatnot itself.

While it's possible that the timing of FCM telling the app to check for notifications could be used to correlate activity, that's an edge case that if you are concerned about can be easily avoided by just using the background WebSocket or a fork of Signal like Molly that allows you to use a third-party UnifiedPush provider to check for messages in the background, instead of FCM.

I think the main difference is that the Play Store version can use FCM (Google Play Services) for notifications, while the APK Signal distributes only receives notifications over a background WebSocket connection.

GrapheneOS on Pixel 9 Pro XL. it's a very refreshing experience having nearly no preinstalled apps, and having to install anything you want yourself, not the other way around. I don't need Play Services/FCM notifications either, I use Molly to talk with people, a fork of Signal that allows for UnifiedPush support, which I self host ntfy for.

I want to set up location sharing for my family/friends, but

  • without having a closed source app having access to my location/sensors all the time
  • be able to choose when I want to share

Any recommendations?

Edit for those who find this later: I ended up choosing Traccar suggested by @mbirth@lemmy.ml, but big thanks to everyone who brought some ideas to the table! I'll leave my configs here.

My Docker Compose file

My traccar.xml

 

Haven't seen much of this around, but I've spun my own instance up and suffice to say it fits my needs.
