This day was always going to come, I’ve got them as well. Maybe it’s time to look at something like PinePods, since it was only the cross device syncing keeping me using pocket casts.

For Germany, a country known for its strict privacy laws, to become the second country, after only China, to ban adblockers seems wild to me.

MuPDF Viewer and MJ PDF both do this

In Israel, do you need to use a vpn to torrent?

Couldn’t you potentially have the same thing you describe for tor happening with i2p?

You can definitely use a third party keyboard on iphone. They only force you to use their keyboard when entering passwords, which I can undestand their argument for.

Historically, Android has been “built and optimized to run with a 4 KB page size.”

In most CPUs, dedicated hardware called memory management units (MMUs) translate addresses from what a program is using to a physical location in memory. This translation is done on a page-size basis. Every time a program needs more memory, the operating system needs to get involved and fill out a “page table” entry, assigning that piece of memory to a process. When the page size is 4 times larger, there is 4 times less bookkeeping. So, the system can spend more time making sure your videos look great, games play well, and applications run smoothly, and less time filling out low-level operating system paperwork.

As device OEMs add more RAM “to optimize performance,” they will adopt these larger page sizes. Android 15 added system support — by refactoring the OS to be page-size agnostic — for this “increased page size, ensuring your app can run on these evolving devices and benefit from the associated performance gains.” This is supported and available to test on the Pixel 8 and Pixel 9 series. This results in performance improvements like:

• Faster app launches: See improvements ranging from 3% to 30% for various apps.

• Improved battery usage: Experience an average gain of 4.5%.

• Quicker camera starts: Launch the camera 4.5% to 6.6% faster.

• Speedier system boot-ups: Boot Android devices approximately 8% faster.

If it has to be a DE then I’d go with XFCE, otherwise I’d probably go with openbox.

Something I always forget about when I return a hire car.

The Teenagers - Reality Check

TL;DR

An upcoming Google Messages update will remove the convenient SIM selector from the compose section.

The setting is moving to the conversation details section, adding an extra step to the process of swapping SIMs for texting individual contacts.

Not tried it in years, but there was an app called fildo which I think you could give it a playlist url. It was buggy af though.

Yeah I did, and that’s a shame they now have ads. They definitely didn’t used to, been a while since I listened to one of their episodes tbf.

• The Cryptid Factor
• The Modern Mann (very few ads)
• Darknet Diaries (very few ads)

F1 related:

• Superlicense
• The Midfield F1 podcast
• For Formula 1’s Sake
• Box of Neutrals

So it’s basically something that will make life easier for the devs and therefore increase the rate of development?

Probably because you don’t want your IP address to be associated with some of stuff on there.
