True science! Astrophysics is one of the few fields left in which they publish by listing the authors in alphabetical order. No “seniority” and similar bullshit that’s politics and not science…
Thank you for finding this gem!
Yeah, they’re like works of art - no need to keep adding strokes!
Cheers, I’ll check that too.
Thank you for the heads-up. I’ve installed it and for now it’s working OK. To be honest I don’t mind that’s unmaintained, if it works (I still use a 10-year old timer app that is just perfect for me, never found the like again).
About that, see comment by @Anafabula@discuss.tchncs.de in this thread. Apparently only the GPlay version is unmaintained.
Had not heard of Silence, Cheers!
Yeah there’s a mystery about completely different availability policies by the developer in GPlay and in FDroid…
Agree about the security. I use Element/Matrix. I don’t use SMS regularly, but some people message me with that in emergency situations, for instance if they don’t have wifi or mobile data. It’s also still used to get temporary authentication codes.
Ha that’s a fun mystery!!
I don’t know who’s the creator. Here’s the app – you can also see the complaints from some users:

Cheers, got it from F-Droid (another step in de-googling :)

I’m all for supporting developers. Usually I test an app for a month, and if it works well, I make a regular donation (else I uninstall it).
However, while trying out the free version of “Simple Gallery” from Simple Mobile Tools, they sent an update that suddenly made it only last for 14 days, then you had to upgrade to premium. I simply don’t like this kind of behaviour, that’s why I don’t use their products.
@youngerpants@lemmy.world @0_0@lemmy.world @InterSynth@lemmy.dbzer0.com @poudlardo@jlai.lu – thank you for QKSMS, it sounds good. Strange because it doesn’t appear with an “SMS” search on F-Droid – but now I got the link :)
Note: I read some users recently complaining about it missing some SMS; let’s see if that’s still a problem.
The shadows are wrong too. The people at the front seem to have a strong light source from their left (but not all angles are correct); the ones at the back, from ahead of them.
As Netflix and producers of toilet paper know well, people in the end are happy to pay for things they like or need. But Google and its like have discovered that instead of selling stuff to me, it’s much more profitable to sell me to others.
No thanks.
Indeed, that was my thought!
Thank you, I didn’t know about EDRi, which EFF refers to!
This is an interesting take. Could you share some resources or links to follow this line of reasoning more in detail? Especially resources that are somewhat “noob-friendly”. Cheers.
