For anyone who doesn’t have a device that natively supports this feature, there’s an app on F-Droid called “Privacy Indicators” that provides this for camera and mic access. It uses the built-in Accessibility services to provide this, and needs a couple of other special permissions

You can change the color of the indicator, mine’s red for more visibility.

I installed it from GitHub however, since the F-Droid build was really outdated: https://github.com/NitishGadangi/Privacy-Indicator-App

I did this with all my PS1 games a while back, ran into a ton of unreadable ones. Managed to read some scratched ones by trying out four different drives, but some sadly fell victim to disk rot ☹️

o7 thanks for the memories I guess!

I love this 😂

Those are fake mirrors completely missing aniwave’s core features: account watchlists, auto skip intro/outro, auto next, watch together, and the comments don’t even work.

Wouldn’t surprise me if they’re missing the majority of Aniwave’s library too

Edit: The search is horrifically basic too. No filters at all, seriously? The clones don’t even try to compete 🤦‍♂️

Pirate websites like this usually rely on the shadier ad networks baked into these kinds of video streaming sites to make their money.

There’s no financial incentive to use BitTorrent based streaming, and if they did I feel the torrents would die rapidly just due to the amount of leechers with barely any seeders to offset the ratio disparity (Unless some kind of webseed was available ?)

I recently picked up an iPhone as a secondary device, pretty much immediately disabled iCloud and installed Mobius (Syncthing) so the photos get sync’ed over to my fairphone’s SD card.

Now i’m second guessing whether it’s actually disabled, or if I’m going to get an iCloud full warning in a couple of months…

I use Open Camera on my device, there are some very rare instances where it shows an obscure error saying it can’t find a gallery app. Most of the time though it opens Fossify Gallery just fine

I’m rooted and Google Photos was removed from my device before a single photo was taken, so never seen or heard even a peep from it

.NET runs natively on Linux

Only .NET Core sadly

When I moved my personal laptop to Linux I needed WINE to run some source-available .NET apps that were written targeting the Windows-only .NET Framework

NJB! NJB!

banning the import of all gas-powered passenger vehicles

They definitely put their money where their mouth is, unlike a lot of other places around the world that are all bark but no bite where phasing out combustion engines is concerned.

From the article…

It also effectively slashed the customs tax on imported cars: The tax on gas vehicles was up to 200% before they were banned, while the import tax for fully assembled EVs is just 15%, according to the country’s finance ministry.

Wow, they weren’t playing around… 200% tax on gas vehicles? In addition to fuel shortages mentioned in the article too

The lower rates are also spurring more local EV manufacturing. Hundreds of the vehicles were assembled by Ethiopia-based Belayneh Kindie Group using parts imported from China

Ethiopia is leaning hard into EVs in part because importing fuel is expensive, and 96% of the country’s electricity comes from clean hydropower – a dual win for the country’s finances and the environment.

Seems pretty sustainable, and glad to hear that they’re able to do some of the manufacturing locally, somewhat ensuring there’s local knowledge on building and maintaining these computers on wheels.

Hope the transition goes smoothly for them, looks like they know what they’re doing 👌

I think OC has a case of the Kruger peak…

ATX power supplies are literally some of the safest power supplies to exist, and a GFCI breaker would prevent this scenario from even happening IMO lol

melodic bass synth plays

And not to mention the custom control panel applets hanging around out there from who-knows-what vendors.

AMD FirePro and Catalyst users are going to probably stay on an older version of the OS, considering most of those users are going to be educational institutions, engineering workshops, makerspaces/hackerspaces etc.

Can’t think of any other vendor products that integrated quite as much into the legacy control panel area

introduce a “years of service”… Isn’t that going to be the next toxic metric people are going to brag with?

looks at Steam account

I feel personally attacked 😂

London, Ontario (Canada)

Extremely disappointing outcome. IMO the driver should have faced the full force of the law, especially considering how this incident resulted in a loss of life and such severe trauma and injury to the poor kids involved.

A 5 year driving prohibition is just a slap on the wrist, for literal manslaughter - involuntary or not

Plain AOSP doesn’t include a dialer/phone app, camera app, or clock app anymore AFAIK, so for me i’d consider base to be AOSP+GApps

Hope it sees many more years to come!

I was interested in a steel but they’re hard to come across where I am - most likely going to go with a Bangle.js instead for the always-on screen, long battery life and programmability

Platforms like Floatplane, Nebula, Patreon etc make it so easy to support creators outside of YouTube, while also giving creators a larger share of income compared to Adsense.

There’s YouTube Premium… but I don’t think I’m alone in not wanting to give Google a single cent of my hard earned cash

Looking forward to this. I don’t run a custom ROM myself but I am rooted, primarily to revoke permissions from Google apps and to back up my OS and app data as I desire.

However I’d much prefer to be able to run something like GrapheneOS on a Pixel if it meant I could run apps that are picky about Safetynet/Play Integrity, such as banking apps and the like

A while back I made a Lolin32-based weather station that lasts for around 60 days on a single disposable vape battery.

It wakes up every 15 mins, and while it’s connecting to WiFi it retrieves the AM2302 sensor readings. As soon as they’re transmitted it goes back to sleep.

I wish there was a more power efficient alternative though, like whatever is being used in those BLE LYWSD03MMC sensors that last for around 3-6 months on a cr2032 whilst also having a display built in
