(there’s a little arrested development in the mix too)

Huzzah!

Missing some of the stuff you want, but I’d also recommend the Pixel+GrapheneOS. The Graphene web installation is ridiculously easy and it’s rock solid in my experience. You get 7+ years of support from Graphene too. Pixel build quality is great. Great camera, solid storage (ymmv), plenty of RAM. In my experience, Google’s hardware support is really good. I’ve been using their phones since the Galaxy Nexus and any time I’ve had even a minor issue they’re just like, “it’s under warranty, do you want a new one?” basically no questions asked. My Pixel 6 is two years out of warranty. A few days ago the battery started to swell a bit. Reported it Sunday and I have a free replacement arriving today. All they asked for was a pic and my mailing address.

Last summer, my nephew managed to grab my phone, take it out of its case, and drop it in the street where it was run over by an SUV. The only damage it took was some serious scratches on the back glass. My old Pixel 3 survived two years in my pocket working on an organic farm and it’s still kicking as my temporary replacement. I’ve found their phones shockingly durable.

Huzzah!

I can’t find a complete list, but McCue lists some examples here. These newly-federated magazines are apparently curated by the original 25 publishers in their initial test of federation. You can find the list of those publishers here. You should be able to find the magazines by searching for the publishers on Mastodon. Euronews’ Russia-Ukraine crisis magazine, for example, is:

I was able to follow all the publishers I tried. I also followed a few of the new magazines. Seems to work!

WE DID IT!!

Holy shit, anti-S22+ actually pulled it off!! What an exciting time to be alive! :)

I suspect the data artifact is related to the transition from 0.18 to 0.19 and something changed in the way active users was counted in between. Lemmy.world is still running 0.18.5.

Yep. Pre-0.19, only posts and comments were counted as activity. 0.19 now includes voters.

Mine works, but some banking apps won’t work if they require full SafetyNet compliance. So that could be a deal-breaker for some people too.

I decided to install Graphene before looking up the installation and was blown away by how easy it is. I’d been on stock android for years and was expecting a similar experience as OP describes. My very old custom ROM folder is filled with files with names like ‘confirmedsafeblob’ and ‘bricksafe’ that I don’t even know what they are anymore but speak to some past misery. Then beep-boop done with the web installer.

I’m sure it’ll get removed. Voyager used to have it and I was shocked it disappeared a couple months ago in preparation for 0.19. Now it just shows post and comment counts.

It’s not tracked anymore as of 0.19 (“don’t serialize karma”). Lemmy dev dessalines talks about how it’s being removed (and should’ve been removed sooner) here.

It kind of depends on the context it’s used in. The common meaning has also changed over time. All government press releases could be considered propaganda and they generally aren’t frowned upon. Having a Ministry of Propaganada used to be common until the word gained a negative connotation.

News propaganda is frowned upon because it’s fundamentally dishonest, even if individual stories are true. It’s masquerading as an attempt to discover truth through fact-finding when in reality it’s disseminating received “truth” from an authority. If, for example, the Russian government wants to spread a false story through RT, it doesn’t matter the size of your mountain of facts negating it, you cannot overturn received truth at RT. It’s not easy, and is often impossible, to discern between discovered and received ‘truth’ from propaganda networks.

Running GrapheneOS on my Pixel 6. They prompt you to re-lock your bootloader after installing. It’s part of the installation process.

I really hope anti-S22+ wins it all
