Honestly can’t believe Google was so explicit in calling RCS an “open standard” and then turning around and doing this

When I tried that the button takes a photo and asks me where to save the JPG. But then when I select a folder it errs saying the image doesn’t exist.

I guess I’ll stick with the stock camera app

To be clear, here’s a screenshot. I’m on a Pixel 5 running Android 11. I checked the default apps page in settings but there’s not an option for photos unfortunately.

RE: Open Camera

Not seeing an option to remap the photos button (bottom right) from opening Google Photos

Looks like it’s Google, Facebook, or GitHub.

Just to clarify, Ente supports iOS and Android, and has a web portal for desktop access. I also see on their README: “For adding or managing your secrets, please use our mobile app.” So the web portal only seems to provide read-only access. That’s very different than a native desktop app like Authy used to support.

IMO, if you’re going to expose your 2FA to the internet, you might as well go all-in on an internet-based solution. If you’re in the market for that, there’s plenty of options. A lot of the password managers support 2FA now (Bitwarden, Proton Pass, 1Password). If you don’t want your passwords and 2FA stored in the same place, you could use one manager to keep passwords and another for 2FA.

If you want more privacy-oriented options…

• KeePass or KeePassXC with a syncing service like Syncthing or Nextcloud
• Keeweb (no updates in 2 years, looking for a new maintainer)

Huh, that’s not a very long support window. Looks like Google’s support ended in Oct 2023

Thanks for sharing your experience! I’ve been thinking about doing this too on a similar device. Although I watched this video recently which made me start looking at alternatives. I believe the lead developer stepped down though.

Pretty sure he did that on the WAN Show

Out of curiosity, what kind of tweaks?

I thought it was explicitly anti-news and politics?

Google Tasks isn’t remotely close to being a powerful project management tool on par with Todoist or some of the other apps out there. Even Apple’s Reminders app can do more. It’s much closer in spirit to a paper to-do list — just a bunch of things written down that you need to get done.

A lot of libraries have free printing now. It’s great

If you liked/tried Reply All I highly recommend Underunderstood (plus Overunderstood if you join their Patreon, it’s a big catalog). That being said it’s more tech in culture than heavy/deep tech (they’re journalists, not developers/hackers)

I don’t think Darknet Diaries falls into this boat either…? The host may be libertarian or something but it’s not really relevant to the content since it’s mostly narrative-driven interviews or stories
