Even if altruistic, your proposal to “ban it” is not consistent with free and open societies.

Also do you realize what we’re communicating on now can be considered social media. Should this be banned too?

“I don’t like xyz; ban it.” – that’s the same reasoning that ends up banning prolific books to “keep us safe.”

Nope not me. The masses just must be demanding it! 🙃

Does the update allow viewing tracks/routes for family member devices?

The workaround I’ve employed is simply logging into my wife’s account and her logging into mine to see detailed info, but if we had kids or more family members then it would be nice to get full tracks/routes and not only live location.

I set this up a week or two ago and have been quite pleased besides this hiccup. Thanks for all of your hard work!

(Also, for anyone curious I do like Colota on Android for the device tracking portion to accompany Dawarich.)

Does the new Dawarich mobile app show family member location now? Do you have plans for that? Visiting a web page on mobile isn’t ideal :)

Can someone post the full article in a comment? I tried workarounds to read the full article but nothing worked.

Fair enough. But I wasn’t picturing them simultaneously doing it.

Enshittification is a contagious disease that spreads slowly.

Why?

What about investments?

Loading prepaid debit cards at gas stations sounds like a rough life. I’d like to think that I’d have more conviction for privacy if it came to that, but everyone has their line I guess.

Ppl say this with such conviction but what about your bank website? What if it becomes industry standard and you have no other options? Just going to keep all your money in cash?

Really appreciate your feedback. I’ll try it! Never heard of it before.

Do you know if it works well with GrapheneOS?

I was using Traccar and that worked well until moving to GOS and then background updates wouldn’t work.

I tried owntrack and nextcloud but never got it to work.

Does it use http or MQTT?

I read this as “broken sphincter?” for some reason

I haven’t heard of Zen and just checked out the wiki on it.

There are so many browsers! It’s hard to decide. I’ve tried quite a few over the years. Been running Brave as primary for 3-4 years.

I appreciate the Reddit link. Yikes. I’ve noticed the enshittification of Brave but didn’t know all the bad stuff they’ve done.

I do like that Brave works well on all my devices and sync is reliable. I don’t like running different browsers on diff platforms.

Time to do some testing and research…

It’s so hard to find good things as it is. Adding in politics of devs adds yet another layer to it!

I recently started using FUTO keyboard and then learned someone they associate with is a bad dude.

It’s like, come on guys. I’m trying to degoogle, avoid enshittification, and be privacy and security aware… and then there’s this curveball that I have to factor in too.

I’m using waterfox as my dedicated porn browser and have found few faults. Maybe I’ll go that direction for my main browser.

I tried LibreWolf and had issues that I can’t remember now.

I read the article.

But also I’m out of the loop on why ppl hate Brave. Can someone clue me in?

Is there a better cross-platform browser? I like to use the same one across devices.

People love syncthing but I spent about 20-30 min on setup and found it confusing once I got beyond 2 devices. There are a couple comments in this thread between me and someone else about different setup options with syncthing.

I have been relatively happy with folder sync pro and nextcloud though. It’s worth noting that changes only instantly push when they’re made on Android first. If you edit/add/remove a file that’s in a synced folder from a computer, then folder sync pro on Android will simply use the sync interval that you set (I have mine at 15 min and have seen no battery hit, can set it down to 5 min). You can also just manually hit the sync button in FSP. But that was just one element that I was troubleshooting and thought sync was broken, but nope, that’s just how it works depending on what device did the edit/add/remove.

How do you set up syncthing with a host/client configuration?

I planned on setting it up with 5 devices but as soon as I got to 3 devices I started having issues and didn’t like the structure conceptually of “everything syncs to each other” vs having a “source of truth” with 2-way sync.

TBF my issues with syncthing were probably user error but still frustrated me enough that I bailed.
