So Snoop Dogg recently launched his telegram channel and yesterday also published a song on his yt channel about Telegram and Telegram Gifts. Probably the first sponsorship Telegram paid for.
In his telegram channel Snoop Dogg also posted a TMZ article about this thing and the gifts sellout which accompanied the song's publication.
The youtube comments are the most boring hype farming attempt I've seen in a long time, it looks like a window to NFT twitter a few years ago
It looks like Telegram has recently switched to GPT4 for in-app translations:
- https://t.me/s/tgbreaking/436
- https://t.me/s/NewsAndTipsNT/3478
In-app translations of single messages, which are free for all users, have been out of service for more than a week. Telegram was supposedly using Google's translation services, behind a client API proxy method that the apps were calling to request the translation of a message. Before that, when the feature was first introduced, the apps were directly calling a private/undocumented Google Translate http endpoint (weirdly hardcoded in the sourcecode)
Durov recently announced an upcoming deep Grok (lol) integration in the apps
This is just to keep track user-level AI integrations in the app
I can't believe how many times I've heard this track mixed in a set without being able to ID it... these days I've been having a re-listen of some TNL releases, and I've found it in the first TNL double!
Honorable mention to Push K, truly a Vinka piece lol
Right, I will try to look for some options in the developer settings
Edit: there are a bunch of bt-related settings in the Dev options menu, most of them are about audio codec, AVRCP/MAP versions, Bluetooth LE, and other options, but unfortunately nothing that sounds like what I'm looking for :')
Hmm that's weird. I bought my Pixel 5 in 2023, the bluetooth devices I own are the same I was using with my previous phone (mostly, four devices: the car's bt-aux adapter, bt speaker, headphones, cool headphones), and they all used to re-connect automatically. Now none of them does lol so I assumed it was an issue with the phone
Hello everyone,
I have a Pixel 5 running Android 14, and I've always had this issue with Bluetooth devices (any device): after the phone disconnects from a device because of proximity (eg. going too far from the device), it never re-connects automatically when I get back into the device's Bluetooth range. I have to manually enter the Bluetooth settings and tap on the device name I want to connect to
This is something that always worked on my previous phone (which was running LineageOS)
Is this supposed to work this way? Can it be fixed? I've tried to look around in the Bluetooth settings but there isn't much to tweak there
Follow up on the 🇷🇴 elections topic. Tweet from George Simion:
🇷🇴 I officially ask Constitutional Court TO ANNUL Romanian presidential elections (May 2025). For the very reasons December elections were annulled: EXTERNAL INTERFERENCES by state and non-state actors. This time proven with evidence! Neither 🇫🇷, nor 🇲🇩, nor anyone else has the right to interfere in the elections of another state.
To all Romanians: ask urgently the Constitutional Court to annul this farce. We will not give up and we will not betray! This is only the beginning of a great victory!
I’m ready to come and testify if it helps Romanian democracy.
Just reporting here an exchange between Durov and the French government that happened in the past few days
It started with Durov posting this message in his telegram channel:
> A Western European government (guess which 🥖) approached Telegram, asking us to silence conservative voices in Romania ahead of today’s presidential elections. I flatly refused. Telegram will not restrict the freedoms of Romanian users or block their political channels. > > You can’t “defend democracy” by destroying democracy. You can’t “fight election interference” by interfering with elections. You either have freedom of speech and fair elections — or you don’t. And the Romanian people deserve both.
...statement which received a reply by the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs Twitter account: https://x.com/francediplo_EN/status/1924138188722815052
Durov later tweeted a few more information (explicit name of the official from which the request was received):
> This spring at the Salon des Batailles in the Hôtel de Crillon, Nicolas Lerner, head of French intelligence, asked me to ban conservative voices in Romania ahead of elections. I refused. We didn’t block protesters in Russia, Belarus, or Iran. We won’t start doing it in Europe.
Musk replied twice to durov's tweets
Just leaving this here for the record
aaaah you're right! The Italian translation was a little weird :)
Hello everyone, some time ago I broke the screen of my Pixel 5. I brought it to a repair store, which replaced it, but apparently they did a bad job because since then the proximity sensor started to misbehave (it was working even with the broken screen, unfortunately they refuse to acknowledge that and won't repair it for free, and it costs too much to repair it again).
Well, this sensor is driving me crazy. It works kind of good for calls, but it's almost impossible to play voice messages: the screen continuously flashes, turns on/off every second because of the sensor, and voice messages constantly stops, restart, switch from speaker to ear speaker... it's incredibly frustrating. For some reason Telegram and Signal work good, but on whatsapp and other IMs, it's almost impossible to listen to voice messages without going mad.
I have a Pixel 5 running Andoird 14 (stock, non rooted), and I'm looking for a way to disable the proximity sensor just for one app, or entirely. Searching for a solution on the internet, I've found this 2020 reddit thread describing an Android 11 option to disable all sensors entirely, but apparently it got removed because I cannot find it, or the quick setting tile the post is talking about (it would be a perfect solution!)
I'm sure there's some root/magisk app ops solution that can help, but I would have to root the phone or install a custom firmware, but I'm trying to find a solution that doesn't require that. Unfortunately I have apps that require perfect device integrity and right now I'm stuck on stock android. Any tip on how to solve this?
oh, yeah, I received the same message 6 dyas ago :D forgot about it already
I'm out of the loop: what happened with this Nicole?
Yeah, also they're a good way to privately (that is, not in the comments of a public post) exchange another communication channel

I am in a similar position, yes. I've resisted for so many years, but Instagram right now is the only place where some of the local organizations I'm interested in post. Clubs, town events, even leftist social centers who are usually sensible to online privacy and megacorp dependence sometimes only have an instagram or facebook page.
Right now I have a text note with the urls to the websites of the instagram pages that don't have a newsletter/RSS feed. And another note with the link to their instagram pages, that I sometimes check out. Luckily you still don't necessarily need to login to access an account's recent posts from the browser, so as long as you periodically clear your cookies, a browser will do.
I also have been trying to convince some of these pages to create an account on Mastodon or use Gancio, if available. Even a Telegram channel would suffice. Some of them (two) did, but stopped to update it after a few months because most reach comes from facebook/instagram and they won't bother to post stuff on another platform
It depends on what you want to edit :P if you just need the basics (sketching, filetrs, resizing, cropping, converting, combining, etc), try ImageToolbox
Popular shadow libraries Z-Library and Anna's Archive had their Telegram accounts terminated this week for copyright infringement.

> > Telegram is one of the most popular messaging tools, chosen by many online services to stay connected with their audiences. Major shadow libraries Z-Library and Anna's Archive used Telegram until this week, when both accounts were terminated for copyright infringement. While these websites offer infringing content, both were cautious to avoid copyright troubles on Telegram.
Correct. It's from https://fedidb.org/, if you scroll down the main page you can find the Software User Distribution pie

Ever since I was a kid, my family had this electric bathroom warmer which has been my best friend for a lot of time. For 15 years, it has been the main reason for me to quickly wake up during school and work days. I needed the warmth and the white noise, even during summer. A few years ago I decided to "quit", because it started too feel a little like an addiction, and not being able to spend at least 10 minutes in front of this thing would mean ruin the entire morning. Quitting wasn't that hard, of course, but ever since I quit I have a severe problem with snoozing alarms. I need at least 30 minutes to wake up, rested or not rested it doesn't matter, I just cannot help myself to step off off the bed as soon as the alarm rings. Tbh I do not see this as a serious problem, cause lukily it doesn't fuck with my usual daily scehdule, but I will soon try to roll up my sleeves and see if I can improve my alarm2bathroom time
Thanks for sharing. What was your daily usage, while you were consuming? How long have you been off off meth?
Videogames 10 years ago. I was spending time on videogames basically every day. I didn't see it as something harmful, but during one christmas break I dared myself not to play videogames during the 10 days school break. Lost all interest in gaming in a matter of days, never picked it up since then. I sold my PS4 six months later. A few years ago I built myself a gaming PC with the intention to use it for gaming but I've actually never bought or downloaded any game
I still play local multiplayer games every once in a while with I'm over at some friends' place (eg. party games as Stickbold, Smash Bros, Mario Kart, Fifa), or online tabletop games such as hangman, gartic phone, geoguesser or boardgamesarena.com
From FR039. DJ B's remix adds that tekno-ish 4/4 bassline that fits the tune perfectly imo
