Google’s ‘Secret’ Update Scans All Your Photos (www.forbes.com)
 

Per one tech forum this week: “Google has quietly installed an app on all Android devices called ‘Android System SafetyCore’. It claims to be a ‘security’ application, but whilst running in the background, it collects call logs, contacts, location, your microphone, and much more making this application ‘spyware’ and a HUGE privacy concern. It is strongly advised to uninstall this program if you can. To do this, navigate to 'Settings’ > 'Apps’, then delete the application.”

Can we please, PLEASE for gods sake just all agree that arch is not and will never be a good beginner distro no matter how many times you fork it? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

On the contrary, I'd still argue it's a good distro for beginners, but not for newbies. people who are tech-sawy and not hesitant to learn new things.

I jumped straight into EndeavorOS when I switched to Linux, since arch was praised as the distro for developers, for reasons.

Sure, I had some issues to fight with, but it taught me about all the components (and their alternatives) that are involved in a distro.

So, once you have a problem and ask for help, the first questions are sorts of "what DE/WM do you use?... is it X11 or wayland? are you using alsa or pipewire?".

Windows refugees (like me) take so many things for granted, that I think this kind of approach really helps in understanding how things work under the hood. And the Arch-wiki is just a godsend for thst matter. And let's be real, you rarely look into Arch-wiki for distros other than Arch itself, since they mostly work OOTB.

Odin - a self-hosted FOSS streaming service. in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

It doesn't. It's nothing like any of these two. They provide local media content, Odin on the other hand streams media directly provided by the debrid service.

So, no downloading and hoarding involved.

Odin - a self-hosted FOSS streaming service. (lemm.ee)
 

Hey, I just published a self-hosted streaming service, it's called Odin. Odin comes in two parts, a server and an Android app. Both can be found on GitHub, with their install instructions.

Odin Server https://github.com/ad-on-is/odin-server

Odin TV App https://github.com/ad-on-is/odin-tv

Motivation:

I've used many of the readily available apps in the past, and they all came with their pros and cons. I was mostly annoyed by the fact, that most of them use their own server-backend, somewhere. So each time, the app stops working, I didn't know whether their server just crashed, or the developer abandoned the app and I had to look for something else. I also started becoming paranoid, whether someone was collecting my data and offering them to "the highest bidder". Oh, and I also disliked the UI of these apps.

That's why I started working on Odin. In fact, I've been using it for almost 4 years now, and did a LOT of iterations during these years. Now, I'm more than happy with the end result, and wanted to share it with the world.

The main features of Odin are:

  • Discovering movies and TV shows
  • A nice and beautiful UI
  • Customizable Trakt lists
  • Multi-User support

I hope you like it!

Oh, and feel free to submit any feature requests or issues on GitHub. If you want, you can star the repo, so I know there's actual interest in the project.

Just switched to Neovim and it's amazing (lemm.ee)
 

Honestly... everybody should try out neovim for at least a week. I mean like... fully commit to it.

It's just amazing how fast and light on resource usage it is, compared to vscode.

For reference: I just opened qmk_firmware which has a shit load of clang code and files. Guess what, neovim doesn't even break a sweat, while vscode almost burns my CPU.
