Hey!
Hey! It's a Window Friday!

@[email protected] Unfortunately, I don't have time to port an entire OS to my Pixel 🙂
I'd love to use another OS on it, but I can't find anything (only very old Pixels are supported)
@[email protected] I'm more worried for (lack of) notifications for some apps, but I think I could try to manage it.
@[email protected] the problem is understanding if I can do all my daily stuff without them. Maybe I'll put the sim back on that and try.
For a long time, I have had GrapheneOS on my Google Pixel 7 - which I don't use anymore as my main phone, but it's almost always on. It has some apps, but mainly, a constant connection to my email. No
For a long time, I have had GrapheneOS on my Google Pixel 7 - which I don't use anymore as my main phone, but it's almost always on. It has some apps, but mainly, a constant connection to my email. No SIM card, connected via Wi-Fi.
I've always noticed a battery drain of about 4-5% overnight, sometimes even more, despite not having notifications and not using it.
Last night, I decided to remove Google Services. In 24 hours (and a few minutes of usage), it consumed 2% of the battery.
I'm trying to understand how much I need Google Services for my needs. The main messaging systems I currently use are bridged with Matrix, and on Element, I have notifications via ntfy (unified push).
In the coming days, I will try to see if it's possible for me to do without them.

November Sunset
November Sunset Cento, Italy

(There's a story behind this photo. I was walking alone, attempting to unwind after a particularly rough day. Behind me was the local cemetery (the road leading to it). I noticed this light and grabbed my Galaxy Nexus. Although the phone had a subpar camera, this time, with some minor color adjustments, it produced a surprisingly good result.)

@[email protected] A great place we've discovered a couple of years ago, but could try only today. And it's definitely approved!
@[email protected] it is. My wife got another kind of cake, but it was over before I could take my phone for the photo 😆
The final part of a proper Italian lunch. With love.

@[email protected] I've been delaying this for months. Now, it's time to send it, before it will be too late.
I think I'll disclose the contents of this e-mail, but only when everything well be over or sorted out.
Good morning, #Fediverse !
Good morning, #Fediverse ! At the moment, I'm writing two e-mails. One is fine, the other is the second worst e-mail I've been writing this year.

@[email protected] true. The smartphone hasn't done a great job here.
Still, I like to think that the lights are "noisy" while the darkness makes the sea "silent". That's why I was concentrating on this message.

@[email protected] it's happened a couple of times, in the last days. My boosts mean "hey, look here" but people, sometimes, think they're some sorts of endorsements.
So I preferred to point it out - just to be sure of not being misunderstood 🙂
@[email protected] @[email protected] Entire instances can be blocked using the command line, but they're using many (abandoned? loosely moderated?) instances.
We can also set the "drop posts from accounts created less than X seconds ago". We could set a 86400 seconds - but we could lose new users, posting their introductions.
For now, I've blocked those instances you pointed out
@angel When I openly agree with something, I reply saying "I agree" and explain why.
Yes, I'm definitely old 😆
@[email protected] Quoted boosts are coming on Mastodon, too: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2024/10/trunk-tidbits-september-2024/
Still, I don't know how they'll be considered by many as many Twitter users did a lot of mess with them, using them to harass people.
I totally agree with your point of view: I don't want to judge people by a post/boost. Still, I understand why people are so "on guard" as the Fediverse is full of bad people/trolls, too.
Luckily, the world is full of good people. But, sometimes, it's quite difficult to find them as they're much, much more silent than the bad ones.
Just to clarify: when I boost a post, it doesn’t necessarily mean I agree with it.
Just to clarify: when I boost a post, it doesn’t necessarily mean I agree with it. Often, I do it just to give visibility (and, consequently, to see the comments) on the topic being discussed - especially if it’s a post from a BSD Cafe user.

Majestically, I watch over my world from my window, and soon I will come down among you to remind everyone, with my pee splashes, that I am the true master.
