archive.is has mirror domains, like https://archive.ph/blyOI you're welcome

Also, the source here: https://www.androidpolice.com/mozilla-firefox-android-tablet-tab-bar-nightly/

so, the context is deporting people to gain votes, is that right???

They've started basing the version number in Lawnchair off of the Stock Android Launcher versions they are basing on.

You cannot put Firefox' search widget down there. That is the point they're making

but I can't really think of any non invasive solution to draw away cheaters

Server-Side Anticheat. The Minecraft community has been doing it ALL ON THEIR OWN for YEARS, effectively.

League of Legends recently adopted it.

what disgusting justification do they have this time?

yeah it's quite disappointing, I wish Matrix saw some more (individual!) funding

(organisations that have funded Matrix in the past generally want new features, but not core work on Matrix to make the experience any better 🥴)

WhatsApp does use the Signal protocol, but unlike Signal only applies it to Messages, Calls and Status.

Your profile info, who you're talking to, when you're using the service, groups you're in, channels you're following and much more is left unprotected intentionally.

For instance, Signal sends your profile end-to-end-encrypted instead of leaving it freely accessible on servers.

RCS itself is an open standard (kind of), but Google Messages is literally the only RCS Client

There are no others. Like seriously you can barely find another usable RCS Client

okay, so, the idea was initially to build something akin to SMS/MMS in the way it's used but make it more ready for the modern age

just a couple of problems:

• End-To-End-Encryption isn't officially a part of RCS itself thanks to Telcom companies in the US not being allowed to add that
• Google Messages is literally the only way to use RCS right now.
• It's "open"-ness is quite disputed due to Google's control over it

really, we should either be using Matrix, or at the very least build out XMPP into something more modern.

Yes, in large public channels there can sometimes be ads. These used to be contextual, but they aren't anymore.

Just so you know, AOSP is short for Android Open Source Project.

The Linux Kernel is GPL2, the Android OS is Apache.

you might not believe it

it is, like with this one or various other themes.

Difference with this one is that it doesn't need an extension like Sidebery

Coincidentally, they are working on that too

newpipe is a custom, built-from-scratch android client for YouTube.

If you want something that works in your browser, check the piped and invidious projects

TGFOSS doesn't remove ads. Infact, by the API policies you aren't allowed to do that as a client maintainer.

Killergram for Android, assuming you've either got a rooted device or LSPatch.

I remember there also being something for Telegram desktop but I can't find it right now.
