    I'm hearing that #Google and #Apple are removing the apps for the #Parler #socnet from the #Android PlayStore and the #iOS AppStore.

    I'd argue that given their duopoly on mobile operating systems, the power to arbitrarily kick someone out is scary (regardless of how deserving Parler might be; I'm not even sure I've seen a screenshot of the site). I'd argue that this is evidence that the mobile OS and app store groups of both companies need to be split up, so that competition can come ... including strong competition for mobile app stores on each platform.

    Again, Parler may deserve it, especially if their users used the socnet to organize their insurrection attempt. (Though I suspect many of them probably used odious #corpocentric sites like #Twitter or #Facebook, which are not being punished.)

    Of course,it has other consequences, and honestly, if my phone was stolen, I'd want it to get a secure wipe. Search for "Brother Orange" in #DDG or #Google, and you'll see why.

    #Android isn't the only one with such a misfeature. In organizations with #Apple #iOS devices, re-use after an employee leaves can be painful. Sometimes, after days or weeks of delay, Apple will inlock the devices for re-use, but sometimes, the org must buy a new phone.

    And #Manyverse ( #SSB client for #iOS and #Android ) is suddenly picking up incoming posts, at least on the iPad. I'll check the other tablet later.

    #iOS / #iPadOS 14.2 is out. It has lots of new emoji, plus 8 new wallpapers.

    (One wonders whether that description ever persuades anyone that they _must_ update as soon as possible, so they can have more wallpapers.)

    One of the most annoying things for me is that after the #iPad upgraded to #iOS 14.1, there’s a constantly-on, unblockable notification to set up #Apple_Pay. Sorry, #Apple. You got your X hundred dollars. You are not getting any more.

    Looking forward to retiring this tablet and closing my AppleID account.

    It's finally happened. For over a decade, seeing a #Windows update (either OS or application) has triggered an "oh, no, what's it going to break?" response. Now, #Android and #iOS do the same thing.

    So removing #Manyverse from my #iPad released enough storage to allow me to upgrade to #iOS 14.0.1. I've since reinstalled Manyverse, and I'm currently upgrading to iOS 14.1.

    My impressions of iOS 14: irritating as f*ck. Every few hours (almost every time I unlock the screen), it asks me to enter my AppleID password. You know, that long and complex machine-generated string that is difficult to enter correctly on a mobile device? Yes, that one.

    Oh, and I keep getting random permission screens popping up. No, I do not want to set your browser as the default. I'll set Firefox Focus as default, if I can. Otherwise, I'll leave it as Safari.

    This is a Gen5 device, so it will likely go unsupported within a year from now. I may just wipe it and ship it to #sonTwo, so they have something that #GS3 can play with. I have an old Samsung Galaxy tablet that I was already planning to send.

    (Funny story: he got ahold of his mother's newer iPad and pushed so many random buttons that she couldn't even log in to back it up. She had to completely wipe it, losing some data in the process.)

    We agree that children spend too much time with electronics, but the problem is that even if you don't intend for him to spend time with electronics, he's automatically drawn to them. He discovered grandpa's watch the first day I was there, and if it lit up or made the slightest sound, he came running.

    Another issue, which I've observed before. #Manyverse #iOS doesn't respond quickly to user input, so it often seems frozen. I tend to click 3-4 times before I remember to wait for it to respond.

    Found out that one app on my #iPad, “Dash”, has gigs of data. I could update the tablet if I deleted the app, but I will not. I doubt that #iOS 14 has anything that I would call “better”.

    Since #iOS 14, #Outlook notifications on the lock screen don't preview message contents. I get up tens or even hundreds of e-mail messages in a day. Notifications are useless if they don't allow me to quickly and easily decide whether it is worth unlocking the phone and reading now.

    1. Apple doubles down on iOS 14 tracking privacy as Facebook panics - 9to5Mac
      from Chance Miller
      One of the key privacy features in iOS 14 is a new option that allows users to disable tracking between different applications. During its quarterly earnings call last month, Facebook pointed out that the new tracking setting could impact its advertising revenue, and a new report from The Information today goes into more detail.

    The #iOS / #iPadOS version autoupdated to #Element. It started pushing notifications at me (something I dislike!) so I had to turn them completely off. Previously, I had been able to limit them to displaying a number on the program icon.

    @geniusmusing Yeah, it looks like #Android “LovelyDocs” was started, made it to the Google Play Store, then vanished.

    https://blog.kapeli.com/goodbye-dash-for-ios in January, development of Dash for #iOS was discontinued. Wow. I know that iOS apps are a dumpster fire with all the platform changes, but that caught me off-guard.

    I do agree with https://blog.kapeli.com/dash-for-ios-android-windows-or-linux in that the project would be a lot of work, and the person or people behind it would likely need to derive some or all of their income through the project somehow. (Patreon account?)

    Is there something on #F-Droid that is similar to #iOS "Dash"? It is convenient to view the help / API docs for various scripting languages.

    I've been using #Manyverse ( #SSB software client ) on #iOS and #Android a little over the past couple of months. The only way to 'meet' people and make contacts is to join a pub.

    Copying a 'pub' invite and pasting it into the client is not easy. It took several tries on the Apple iPad, and was only possible by learning to trick the text selection function. On Android, there are some characters in the pub invite that can only be selected if you select all (grabs way more than what you want, leaving you to edit after pasting). I eventually resorted to copying the portion that selected easily, and manually entering the rest.

    Each device / installation gets its own individual identity hash. In your profile, you can attach a friendly name, which is displayed to others instead of the full identity hash. Don't try restoring a hash from one device onto another, because the #Secure_Scuttlebutt network seems to deliver everything to the first device and leave the second one alone.

    There seems to be a smallish set of users, many of whom are building SSB software, hosting pubs, and building similar #peer-to-peer ( #p2p ) networks.

    I am nowhere near an expert with it, and I generally only open the client about once per week. It usually takes a while to update, so at first, the old posts from a week before are all you see.

    And if you're considering #Shoyu ( #iOS app ) as your #GNU_Social client, it is garbage. It apparently was an old Twitter client that supports Twitter's functionality from several years ago, and very little else. It is slooo-o-o-o-o-o-owwwww to post, even when other clients are not.

    I haven't seen anything else for iOS that supports GS, but it might be worth going to the big blue discount store (aka #Walmart ) and buying their $80 #Android device, so you can use #AndStatus instead. AndStatus is not known for being fast, but it can run circles around Shoyu, even running backwards, with its eyes closed and its ankles bound.

    Okay, boot loop slowed, so I was able to call for provisioning ... phone rebooted after 1-2 minutes of use, but was able to complete it on the 3rd call. The #iPhone was okay until #iOS 10.3.0, and then immediately started having severe battery life issues.

    Taking a little break and then comes the actual set up of the new phone and attempting to wipe the old one before shipping it back.

    I realize that much of this is the agency's "enterprise" set up, but I've never heard of an #Android user going through so many steps and stages to get a phone working.
