smileyhead , 10 months ago to technology in Whatsapp is going to run terribly...

The thing is, in systems like WhatsApp we don’t decide what is the best for us, but WhatsApp.

Maybe integrating some features is better, maybe separation. Or maybe third way, separated things under one package (for example all-in-one packages like Nextcloud or Thunderbird).

If the app is libre software than ok.

Go to system settings and find this dialer app there. Check if the app have permission to be “displayed above other apps”, this should be not in overall permissions list but on app listing in settings itself.

Also check if it’s marked as default system dialer, if there is no battery optimalization enabled and if other permissions are in place.

Hope it helps.

For this money I would rather donate, pay for membership or create my own Mastodon instance.

Discoverability / visibility accross instances is an issue Is Bluesky somehow fixing this without centralized IDs?

Other things are just who is using the network. And what must be said, is that all those toxic people would migrate to a new popular standard too! The point is that we should have standard for social media years ago. The mindset that the app you are using must be somehow tied to who are you interacting with is something created by centralized platforms. I don’t care if people I hate are on the same network, I join a server that matches my values or create my own and everyone’s happy.

smileyhead , 10 months ago to android in To improve security, Google's making it (slightly) harder to contribute code to Android

Before anyone raises their pitchforks: Google already has to accept changes made to Android, like any project ever created. The change is only that there now has to be two people instead of one.

Yes, Android is moving in bad direction in user freedom perspective, but please don’t react hostile to every single news about Android, because then you show community caring about this stuff as being crazy.
