  • Ah right. Appreciate the info!

  • Oh right. When I first heard about Lemmy, I tried to join .ml because it was the first instance I was made aware of. I think it was being rate limited at the time due to that whole reddit exodus thing, and I wasn't able to get through, but. .world let me sign up so here I am.

    I'd like to think that members of a given instance have their own opinions. It's sad to hear about how territorial lemmy is.

  • I'm not familiar with the first subreddit, what was that about?

  • Appreciate the explanation. I've seen some remarks about the instance in passing, I've just never paid close enough attention to how communities have interacted with each other in the past.

  • That's on me. I come here for tech and cute stuff and it's easy for me to miss announcements pinned at the top 😓

  • Sorry I'm not sure if it was reverted; I was completely unaware of it even being proposed.

  • fucking hell the amount of effort that would take on popular communities is insane. Was totally unaware of this policy change.

  • What Valve would need to do to make a Steam Console a success

    Jump

  • Ironically I don't think kernel module AC was as big of an issue back then as it is now. It's sad to see games like Battlefield, GTAO and Apex pull the rug out from under.

    Yes these games are almost always bad, but they have huge audiences. If a traditional, stationary console can't play them, I worry about how broad their appeal would be against incumbents.

    I'm hoping valve can push back on this once more.

  • OLED is practically contingent on HDR colour space for optimal experience. You wouldn't want to limit yourself to SDR on that type of display.

  • Iirc, Acton donated to signal, they didn't go on to make it as an alternative. Signal existed long before he left, and even longer ago as open whisper systems' TextSexure, which was a means of SMS / MMS encryption.

  • That's fair. I quickly tested standard notes with it firewalled on my phone. it can be used offline and can be set up to require a passcode or biometric verification. Most significantly, the sync server can be self hosted, in case you do decide to pursue this avenue in the future.

    The client apps are available on all platforms, including linux distros, though the desktop apps use electron and feel somewhat sluggish (it uses React Native for android and iOS which feels almost equally bad).

    I've not attempted to use this completely offline but it seems to work acceptably. Bear in mind that the client apps can have subtle nags to subscribe to extended mode, which aren't present when self hosting.

    That said, the default user flow emphasises on the use of an account with an email address, and I'm not sure that's what you want. I'm wondering if KeePassDX could be used for secure note taking, not sure if keepass entries have some kind of character limit though.

  • I'm curious about the cross platform requirement given the offline one. I'm wondering if Standard Notes or something similar can be used in a purely offline mode.

    I'd hope that practically anything on Android today would suffice given the typical enforcement of either FBE/FDE. Do you specifically need an app that is password protected in addition to Android's device security, or is this more of an ask for desktop counterparts?
