  • Would be a bit more like "i consider myself a Christian, not because i follow the mainstream conception of Christianity but because i read what Jesus himself said and agree with it."

  • At least some of these tools change their "user agent" to be whatever google's crawler is.

    When you browse in, say, Firefox, one of the headers that firefox sends to the website is "I am using Firefox" which might affect how the website should display to you or let the admin knkw they need firefox compatibility (or be used to fingerprint you...).

    You can just lie on that, though. Some privacy tools will change it to Chrome, since that's the most common.

    Or, you say "i am the google web crawler", which they let past the paywall so it can be added to google.

  • The culture war is v stupid, yes. But "use signal" is the same as "dont text your friend with a different app at all" with signal dropping sms. They are in a different position that google and apple, so not saying i blame them for dropping, but i did stop using it once it become "another app" instead of how i text.

  • Does this app not do voicemail? I just got a voicemail and had to reset the standard google phone app as default to listen, then switch back to this one as default.

    I imagine im missing something obvious here that i couls just search the web for, but i downloaded this app because of you all in the first place, so it is your collective responsibility to set it up for me as well.

  • I got this today as well, heading on over to namecheap where i have another domain already (have not confirmed how good the DDNS is, tho).

  • I had this same question since seeing the post about the Fossify phone app. For phone, calendar, contacts, things like those, i dont see what value the official google apps have (other than syncing to your account, but i can manage that myself). For Messages from Google, tho, there is something they provide in the RCS, if only because they block others from implementing.

    So, using Fossify Message, for example, sacrifices something of some actual value here...

  • Every time I touch the mouse i get a little more elbow pain. Tendens or whatever. The keyboard (an ergonomic one, at least) is more ergonomic.

  • I think they call these "chords"
