Swiping seems to work fine on Heliboard (I guess because it uses the same proprietary library as gboard)

Doronko Wanko is a short free game with a funny name about being a dog and making a mess

Guess those potions were to strong for him

Security is the priority, but that does usually give you a good amount of privacy too.

One example I remember where there was a clash was developing their sandboxed Google Play Services rather than supporting MicroG. I think their reasoning was that sandboxing the Google code makes it much more secure, and even though MicroG is more private from Google it’s still a mystery blob with full access to your device and therefore less secure.

Defed Investigator seems pretty useful

I like them, and apparently at least 10 other people do too!

Could also have gone with “they see me rolling, they hating”

That’s cool. I’ve always been a big fan of widgets, hopefully this encourages more devs to make them.

I’ve not played many since they went 3D, do all the NPCs still look like they were designed with the Mii Maker?

To play devil’s advocate, would you be happy if you spent a long time writing a novel and as soon as you published it a company copied all the text and started printing cheap copies, or just releasing free ebooks of it? As far as I’m aware that’s what IP law is “supposed” to protect against.

Good to know!

Well the last security update was nearly two years ago, so unless you’ve found a good custom ROM then that might be sooner than you think ;)

A hypothetical way to dox someone would be using the extra data available. Maybe they don’t comment much about their particular interests, but they upvote stuff in location-specific communities, downvote people expressing a particular ideology, and anything else that would allow a (ridiculously dedicated) bad actor to work our a lot of personal info about them. Unlikely, but theoretically possible.

Also apparently Lemmy votes are marked as private but any software can choose to just ignore that request, which seems pretty open to abuse.

Copying my own reply from a similar thread last month, the problem is that most users don’t know they’re public:

I think the issue is that many Lemmy users will think more carefully about what they comment than what they up/downvote, as a comment appears connected to your username but a vote doesn’t. You might decide against commenting on something you disagree with because you don’t want to get in a fight, instead just downvoting it, but if people then know if was you who downvoted can still pick the fight.

Basically the issue is you’re revealing a lot more information than you might initially have realised if you’d have known votes were public all along. Maybe a disgruntled person uses that to dox you, or maybe a corpo feeds all that information into their fancy computer system to work out who you might be, who knows.

This article seems to be giving a lot of praise while saying ‘it’s slightly better but still bad’

The quick check is to search for a game on Proton DB and see how well it runs (usually pretty well!)

In Britain we have “reception” (when you’re aged 4-5) which is the first year of primary school, and I assumed equivalent to your kindergarten. I don’t recall there being much formal education in the same way as there is for the rest of school, but it was definitely more structured than preschool/nursery/playgroup that you’d go to beforehand.

Isn’t magical manipulation of life force textbook necromancy? Evocation I’ve got no idea though.

Conjuration is anything planar, right? So I’m guessing the logic is conjuring healing magic from the positive energy plane.

Exactly, this feels like one of those things you see in politics where someone claims that because one group is slightly bad then they’re just as bad as the incredibly bad obviously evil alternative. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good, and don’t get the doomers drag you down to their level!
