While I haven’t tested these extensively, you could give them a try (both are foss):

• SD Maid SE: App Control > Export App
• Kvaesitso: long tap > 3 dot menu > Share app

First one is designed for managing / cleaning up app storage. Second one is a launcher, so it might be a bit janky if all you need to do is transfer an app

Sounds like they want everyone to download directly from the Play store, and not in a way they can’t control?

Same trend as the official OS only apps, overzealous ‘Play Protect’, etc.

You can still use Files by Google to share Android applications in a similar manner. Under Categories, go to “Apps” and then the overflow menu for what you want to “Share.”

A lot of other apps still support it, including FOSS ones, unless the play app did something extra?

For example

• SD Maid SE: App Control > Export App
• Kvaesitso: long tap > 3 dot menu > Share app
• F-Droid for all of their apps

deleted this comment and put the contents in the post body

I saw this earlier, and some comments were saying that it’s fake. The reasons stated were

• it doesn’t match the other snippets that were released (but those other snippets may not be real either, or this might be a separate document from the one at the arrest)

• it doesn’t match his writing style (which might be reasonable given that it was hand written)

Regardless, it might be better to wait for more confirmation

In addition to what people have said here, try local content. I’ve seen some of that crossposted back

Also content tagged with “OC”

I’ve noticed this with news communities on here.

The discussion is often more nuanced and level-headed. Something that used to be the case on Reddit years ago, but now if I find the same news article linked there the comment section isn’t as helpful

In general, advice on tech related things is much better

Reasons may include

• your question is more likely to be seen and answered

  • there is less content overall
  • your question isn’t competing with as much engagement-bait

• lots of older, experienced, and helpful people on the site who want to help

Is there a good way to sync listening history between platforms? That seems to be a big reason why people have a hard time jumping around between platforms

starting from when the device first became available on the Google Store in the US

Why don’t they just list the date (or even the ‘available on store’ date) for each device? It would be a lot simpler for people instead of having to hunt for the info themselves

Looks like the outage was localized to certain areas: https://www.reddit.com/r/google/comments/1h75ppj/fix_it_fix_it_now/

This was actually an important point in the article, I should have included it in the post

Dror Baron, an NCSU professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, wrote on X, “A professor I know died following various investigations. I know the people mentioned here, and call for a transparent and independent investigation.”

So far, that investigation has not been forthcoming. University spokesperson Mick Kulikowski declined to comment to The Technician about Brain’s death or the allegations. To date, the university has not issued a public statement about Brain’s death.

Wow that’s cool

Could it help with internal tasks, like self-hosted services or a business that transfers files around a lot?

Wow that’s really cool!

You may have already checked these, but it might also help people narrow things down by finding related genres

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactivity_(song)

Genre: synth-pop electronic

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvatore_Ganacci

Genres: EDM, moombahton, trap, dancehall

I also didn’t know what moombahton was, if anyone else is curious https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moombahton

Well, there are some things wrong with it though?

It’s possible to criticize both Mastodon and Bluesky for their respective issues

As a follow-up, if you have people on Bluesky you want to follow, go for it :) Community is important

There is also a mastodon bluesky bridge that some people use to access both

I talked about it in this comment, which should hopefully still be recent enough to be accurate

It’s still too soon to tell what they will do. It’s totally possible that they will take the necessary steps to be properly decentralized by transferring control of the registry + protocol to an independent non profit.

Right now I feel that they don’t have much of an incentive to do that, since the vast majority of their users won’t care.

I would love to be proven wrong

Sounds similar to the case with Jellyfin & Findroid (and likely Swiftfin)

The official Jellyfin app has full functionality, but it feels clunky. Especially for casual users.

The native third party app is smooth, intuitive, and visually nice, but is missing a few features (ex. Admin dashboard).

What I’ve seen recommended was:

• Findroid (and likely Swiftfin) for daily use
• Keep the official Jellyfin app installed for when it is needed
