Regretful Humming posted:So Signal is a good alternative to WhatsApp? WhatsApp and Signal use the same encryption, implemented by the same guy. The difference is only in how tightly you wear your tinfoil hat, WhatsApp is closed source and Signal is open. WhatsApp will never be audited and you have no assurance that it is secure. And as Whizbang pointed out, it's all worthless against state actors anyway. You've probably got bigger issues if the NSA is after you though.

Verizon let's you block 5 numbers for 90 days for free. If you want to block more or don't want them to reset after 90 days, you have to pay.

I was pretty happy when Google Play Music started supporting podcasts, except for the design decision to make the next and previous track button on both the app itself as well as when it's being used with Android Auto actually skip to the next podcast episode instead of skipping ahead 30 seconds or reverse 10 seconds. This is especially annoying with Android Auto, where my cars physical buttons do the same thing with it, so if I want to jump ahead 30 seconds I have to go into a second menu on screen to do it, which sucks even more if you are on the center home screen and not the actual Music app screen. What the hell. I guess I'll be sticking with Pocket Casts.

I like the podcast categories and how I can just pick a category and start driving. Skipping podcasts is great for this since a bunch of them are really terrible but generally a button press should skip x seconds and a button hold should skip to the next podcast. I'm sure Google will fix this by 2019 shortly before they kill the entire product.

In PocketCasts, is there a way to make external bluetooth controls skip to the next track in "Up Next" instead of skipping ahead 30 seconds in the current podcast?

LastInLine posted:All kinds of stuff. Thanks for taking the time to type all that out. I do get that there's a level of trust that's necessary, and I just want to minimise what Google/Facebook/etc. gets, without overly handicapping myself at the same time. I hung on to old-school nokia phones until only very recently when the last one died. Nobody's stealing your contact list/photos from those things (OTA, anyway). I don't need to have absolutely secure communication, but I sure would opt for it if it was down to a choice between two otherwise equal options. Astrotrain posted:
Thanks for that. Signal looks pretty bang on. fishmech posted:You know they can already do that with your texts right? Yeah, that's always been somewhat disconcerting. And mentioned a few times now too. Life would be a lot more difficult without SMS unfortunately - the ubiquitous compatibility of it is its primary feature.

I might be stretching looking for this type of app but figured I'd ask. I work at a grocery store as the assistant manager, we have monitored refrigeration cases, if they get out of whack I get a phone call. Which if fine but it literally is just a robo call that calls you and hangs up when you answer, and if you don't answer it calls the next person. Is there an app that would let me auto answer just that one numbers call and give me an alert that they called?

You cannot add new accounts to the app. Twitter has limited each app to something like 100,000 API accounts and when that is full they cannot authenticate a new account with Twitters servers. Tweetbots had that problem before but I think he occasionally purges inactive users, plus he tends to release major versions of the app as all new apps like Tweetbot 4 to allow in new users.

Ok, that makes sense because it still works for me. What's stopping the dev from just generating another set of API tokens to use for more accounts? Probably against their TOS or something? What a weird limit to have.

There's actually a way around it, though. You can enable developer mode on your Twitter account, and generate your own API code. It's what Talon uses to get around the limit.

I've generated like 5 API codes on my work account to run reports hitting endpoints with absurd rate limits. I just split up the work between the different creds. Wouldn't Talon/Falcon be able to do that? I wonder if my work Twitter account is gonna get disabled or something! E: that's the REST API, I don't know if Android Twitter clients use a different API.

Been using Metal for Facebook replacement and it's great, but they recently switched the messenger to some new garbage setup that is really laggy, will accept touchscreen input from behind the keyboard and just sucks in general. Any ideas on how to fix or what my next replacement should be?

I should clarify, I mean send these URLs and have the android or iOS device open the youtube/netflix/hulu app and start playback. I read there was a chromecast emulator for android and iOS and then google killed it or something?

You want the device to automatically open the URL as soon as it shows up on the device? You might be able to do that on Android with Pushbullet and Tasker, but I don't think there's any way to do something like that on iOS, even being jailbroken...

Though I could only get it to work if the screen was on using Join. If the screen was off it just gave me a notification I could hit to open it.

After seeing Join mentioned here I went to check it out and one of the early screens mentioned turning on "accessibility settings" so I tap on that, hit the button and get a warning that doing so will prevent screen lock from "enhancing my encryption". Short version of what that means and whether I want to do it? (5x if that matters.)
