It supports exporting, yes. The thing is... I'm going to be on the road for some time and the only tech equipment I will have with me is my phone, so I would like to set it up on a device I can easily access

 

Hello, I'm looking for an app (or some other solution) to periodically backup my local calendars, possibly daily. No cloud sync needed, I just need a local file

My current setup is: remote calDav calendar server that is synced locally via DAVx5. I would like the local calendars that are synced locally by DAVx5 to be exported every day, with no manual interaction from me needed.

Is there any app that does it?

The spam message says:

Quickly spin up Copilot coding agent tasks from anywhere on your macOS or Windows machine with Raycast.

Isn't this a Raycast ad, rather than a Copilot ad? This is probably a string injected by Raycast itself

I too think link aggregators like Lemmy, Reddit and HackerNews are very popular in Germany, but I don't know why. The first time I noticed this was during the first two reddit r/place events, where users could compete to claim a pixel on a giant canvas to create pixel artworks. The German artworks were definitely the most prominent ones compared to countries of similar or larger size, by a loooong shot. Broader internet access and an high % of tech-literate population are surely a factor, but it definitely didn't look proportional

I don't think those comments are generated and posted automatically by a bot plugged to their github repo. I think they are generated by the author using an LLM and copy-pasted there - or if the account is plugged to some LLM, they are at least manually reviewed. The answer to the replied-to comment are posted from 10 minutes to some hours later. I don't think they lost their mind to the point of giving unvetted access to their reputable account to an AI that simply posts for them. That said, they could al least strip the obvious/uneasy parts that give very LLM vibes, specifically those quoted in the op

At my company we have been using AI very heavily to write code lately, and if that sentence was used to justify a 10k+ diff, whoever wrote it/vetted the change would have their access to the codebase revoked

That is the only thing I like about chat-based communities. It is nice to have a way to catch up, if I want to, from where I left. Cannot be done with modern links aggregators

One of my favorite facts is that while the first pyramids were being built, there were still Mammoth roaming some northern European regions (never checked whether this is true or not but I've heard it so many times that I want to believe it is true)

Pavel Durov on the recent killing of Charlie Kirk:

Charlie Kirk fought for open debate, and enemies of truth hated him for it. Free expression is under attack everywhere. Once free speech is lost, every other freedom soon follows. We must continue Charlie’s mission to defend it. [twitter]

While Charlie is irreplaceable, the world definitely needs more people who defend freedom of speech and engage in open debate. Charlie’s bravery, patience and eloquence will inspire generations. [twitter]

Charlie was always ready to defend his views in debate. His opponents couldn’t win fairly, so they killed him instead. I may not agree with everything he said, but I’d die for his right to say it - on his Telegram channel http://t.me/CharlieKirk [twitter]

On Telegram:

@charliekirk’s death is an assault on free speech. He fought for open debate, and enemies of truth hated him for it.

Free expression is under attack worldwide. Once free speech is lost, every other freedom soon follows. We must continue Charlie’s mission to defend it [telegram]

I have a box of Ena too but I do not remember where I bought it. As far as I remember the cards set is slightly different but yeah, basically the same game

That is their appeal :) Solo on the beach for some reason is more aesthetically pleasing than Uno

So Snoop Dogg recently launched his telegram channel and yesterday also published a song on his yt channel about Telegram and Telegram Gifts. Probably the first sponsorship Telegram paid for.

In his telegram channel Snoop Dogg also posted a TMZ article about this thing and the gifts sellout which accompanied the song's publication.

The youtube comments are the most boring hype farming attempt I've seen in a long time, it looks like a window to NFT twitter a few years ago

 

It looks like Telegram has recently switched to GPT4 for in-app translations:

In-app translations of single messages, which are free for all users, have been out of service for more than a week. Telegram was supposedly using Google's translation services, behind a client API proxy method that the apps were calling to request the translation of a message. Before that, when the feature was first introduced, the apps were directly calling a private/undocumented Google Translate http endpoint (weirdly hardcoded in the sourcecode)

Durov recently announced an upcoming deep Grok (lol) integration in the apps

This is just to keep track user-level AI integrations in the app

If chapters are available for the video, yt-dlp has a command line argument that will split the video into different files, one for each chapter. Quoting a reddit comment:

you need ffmpeg.
how to convert to mp3: wiki
split chapters: --split-chapters
example naming files after chapters: -o "chapter:%(section_number)s %(section_title)s.%(ext)s"
available chapter variables:

section_title (string): Title of the chapter
section_number (numeric): Number of the chapter within the file
section_start (numeric): Start time of the chapter in seconds
section_end (numeric): End time of the chapter in seconds

as i recall, i don't use this myself, it will also keep the original file, which naming depends on the regular -o (use in addition to the -o line with chapter:)

--split-chapters will also work with the timestamps mentioned in the description

 

Hello everyone,

I have a Pixel 5 running Android 14, and I've always had this issue with Bluetooth devices (any device): after the phone disconnects from a device because of proximity (eg. going too far from the device), it never re-connects automatically when I get back into the device's Bluetooth range. I have to manually enter the Bluetooth settings and tap on the device name I want to connect to

This is something that always worked on my previous phone (which was running LineageOS)

Is this supposed to work this way? Can it be fixed? I've tried to look around in the Bluetooth settings but there isn't much to tweak there

 

Just reporting here an exchange between Durov and the French government that happened in the past few days

It started with Durov posting this message in his telegram channel:

A Western European government (guess which 🥖) approached Telegram, asking us to silence conservative voices in Romania ahead of today’s presidential elections. I flatly refused. Telegram will not restrict the freedoms of Romanian users or block their political channels.

You can’t “defend democracy” by destroying democracy. You can’t “fight election interference” by interfering with elections. You either have freedom of speech and fair elections — or you don’t. And the Romanian people deserve both.

...statement which received a reply by the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs Twitter account: https://x.com/francediplo_EN/status/1924138188722815052

Durov later tweeted a few more information (explicit name of the official from which the request was received):

This spring at the Salon des Batailles in the Hôtel de Crillon, Nicolas Lerner, head of French intelligence, asked me to ban conservative voices in Romania ahead of elections. I refused. We didn’t block protesters in Russia, Belarus, or Iran. We won’t start doing it in Europe.

Musk replied twice to durov's tweets

Just leaving this here for the record

 

Hello everyone, some time ago I broke the screen of my Pixel 5. I brought it to a repair store, which replaced it, but apparently they did a bad job because since then the proximity sensor started to misbehave (it was working even with the broken screen, unfortunately they refuse to acknowledge that and won't repair it for free, and it costs too much to repair it again).

Well, this sensor is driving me crazy. It works kind of good for calls, but it's almost impossible to play voice messages: the screen continuously flashes, turns on/off every second because of the sensor, and voice messages constantly stops, restart, switch from speaker to ear speaker... it's incredibly frustrating. For some reason Telegram and Signal work good, but on whatsapp and other IMs, it's almost impossible to listen to voice messages without going mad.

I have a Pixel 5 running Andoird 14 (stock, non rooted), and I'm looking for a way to disable the proximity sensor just for one app, or entirely. Searching for a solution on the internet, I've found this 2020 reddit thread describing an Android 11 option to disable all sensors entirely, but apparently it got removed because I cannot find it, or the quick setting tile the post is talking about (it would be a perfect solution!)

I'm sure there's some root/magisk app ops solution that can help, but I would have to root the phone or install a custom firmware, but I'm trying to find a solution that doesn't require that. Unfortunately I have apps that require perfect device integrity and right now I'm stuck on stock android. Any tip on how to solve this?

Telegram is one of the most popular messaging tools, chosen by many online services to stay connected with their audiences. Major shadow libraries Z-Library and Anna's Archive used Telegram until this week, when both accounts were terminated for copyright infringement. While these websites offer infringing content, both were cautious to avoid copyright troubles on Telegram.
