On Google Play, Insight Timer has 5M+ downloads and is Editors' Choice. It is not a small app, and it's constantly trying to get you to pay for premium. I have never cared about or noticed low quality audio until trying to use this app. It's been a very weird experience trying to relax and noticing how poor the recordings sound. I assume this is another upsell thing

This apps seems to be poorly rated. What has your experience been?

There seems to be little information online about the organization who runs it, Exchange Initiative. They have an inactive Facebook account and an abandoned website. I don't see myself using this without having more assurance on its efficacy and privacy policies

Where can I find the highest quality episodes of Mr.Bean? in c/[email protected]

I watched a YouTube video several years ago that discussed how Mr. Bean live streams and compilations have flooded YouTube despite the original series not being that long. I can't find the video because the search results are indeed flooded with these

‘Time is now’ to step up efforts for Ukraine peace, says Germany’s Scholz in c/[email protected]

I listened to an interview recently, I believe on BBC, where the interviewee said the biggest issue with peace talks is that the international community isn't able to trust Putin to keep his word on whatever is agreed upon. I hadn't considered that, but it makes a lot of sense and I'm not sure how that could change

I feel like moderation is a failure point can't be overstated enough that one goes into my control at all since that's when I use any water

Proton Drive warning: don't reinstall (lemmy.ml)
 

A few months ago I installed Proton Drive on my new PC. It started having issues so I sent it back in for repair. I uninstalled Proton Drive then deleted my files for privacy.

Last week I installed Proton Drive again. To my surprise, it scrambled all of my files locally and remote. All my root folders were deleted and my root is now filled with "Delete conflict" files and folders.

I reported this to Proton immediately. After giving them my logs and details support told me...

  • This is expected: "Proton Drive is designed to synchronize ALL changes, even after long periods of not syncing"
  • No rollback is possible: "Please note that we are unable to revert this behavior. You will have to restore the files manually"
  • They plan to address this: "Regardless, we will absolutely be making improvements to avoid such problems in the future."

For me I have about 100 files to address, which is manageable, but for others I'm sure this would be a showstopper. The delete conflicts don't have version history either, so I have to figure out how to weave everything back together.

Odysee is not a YouTube front end, is a hot spring for hate content and misinformation, was financially mismanaged, and was recently sold for parts to a blockchain company whose primary goal is bolstering its own blockchain

Seeking advice on app locking with physical device unlocking (lemmy.ml)
 

Hi, I'm wanting to set up app locking on my Pixel 4a with only a physical device to unlock them. Preferably something keychain-able.

Here are some options I've looked into and considering:

  • Bluetooth device with...
    • separate Android profile + Smart Lock
    • AppLock - Fingerprint app
      • this is the only app of this type I found that supports Bluetooth
  • NFC tag with...
    • some app locker app, though I haven't been able to find one that supports NFC
    • Tasker (related how-to)

Here are some options I've looked into and not considering:

  • USB-C security key
    • would prefer a wireless option to not wear out the phone's port
  • Unpluq
    • I don't like subscriptions
  • Smart Lock doesn't support NFC anymore (request to bring it back)

Notes:

  • I actually have an old Google Bluetooth Titan Security Key, but it doesn't seem to work with Smart Lock. It doesn't let me add it as a trusted device despite being successfully paired. I think it might operate on Bluetooth Low Energy.
  • Seems like NFC might be better than Bluetooth for my purposes since I wouldn't have to worry about battery life.
  • I don't know what Bluetooth device might work best for this purpose. I believe products like Tile also work on Bluetooth Low Energy.
  • Any recommendations on NFC tags? Seems like Etsy might be good to get something somewhat customizable and better looking than the blank chips I've seen listed online.

Happy to hear anything you have to share on this topic!
