Use --locked with cargo install or be prepared for random compilation errors at some point in the future.

@mo8it Why is --locked not the default? 🤔

You hear artists complain that streaming does not pay enough but then they do streaming-only releases. Honestly, I gladly buy the CD, even if I will listen via streaming in the end, but it annoys me when I cannot buy all the tracks as a hard copy..

Is there a way to disable haptic feedback during a video in the YouTube app (iOS)? It’s really annoying that the phone slightly vibrates just because a new chapter in the video started.

Wasn't Belkin supposed to have Qi2 battery packs available in March? Is Anker still the only one offering those?

@christianselig I got this one a while back. I don’t think it’s officially Qi2 but it wirelessly charges an iPhone with 15W and has MagSafe: https://www.ugreen.com/products/ugreen-10000mah-magsafe-wireless-power-bank

If you share a folder in #GoogleDrive, can anybody see your other folders?

Let’s find out.

@protonprivacy I am just one feature short of switching to ProtonDrive: Being able to share a folder within my family long term, where each party can add/edit/delete files.

What is the idiomatic/preferred way in #Rust to return Errs and then determine in a calling function what the cause of the error was? I'm asking this in the context of an application (not a library). So far I am using anyhow and I'm wondering how I should be handling errors properly. downcast_ref?

In languages like Java you would create exception types and group them by inheritance. In the called you could then do an instanceof check.

New week, new feature (that everyone has been eagerly waiting for)! 😀

⏰Now you can snooze your emails on the #ProtonMail #iOS app too, in addition to the web app. Set up a reminder for the email you received in one tap, read and respond to it at a more convenient time.

Check the app toolbar and start snoozing! 💤

📱Download the app: https://apps.apple.com/app/proton-mail-encrypted-email/id979659905

@protonmail What’s the reason for that? Surely you don’t need conversations for a reminder functionality?

@protonmail So all mail is encrypted when it reaches my inbox, but it seems that this only applies to the text body and not the headers (incl. sender and subject) and – unexpectedly – also the file names of the attached files!

lx,
@lx@swiss.social avatar

@protonmail I knew about the headers, but I always thought the attachments (including the names of the files) were part of the (encrypted) body. Well I guess you always learn something new 😉

lx,
@lx@swiss.social avatar

@critical @protonmail It’s not? The most popular implementation I know is GnuPG, which is a free (as in freedom) implementation of OpenPGP (RFC4880). I don’t know which implementation ProtonMail uses exactly, but the standard is open.

Logitech? More like Laggytech.. Or why I much prefer wired mice over wireless ones. Why doesn't Logitech make the MX Master with a cable? Or at least allow the charging port to carry data too, so it can be used wired and wireless?

@ivory I wish Ivory had an option to control which kind of notifications are delivered with a chime & haptic feedback and which are delivered silently, i.e. only show in the notification shade.

@MonaApp Maybe I just couldn’t find it in the settings but I wish there was an option to turn threads in the home tab off completely. I would like each post to be sorted by the time it was posted, even if it’s a reply to another post not long ago..

I’m trying out the Mastodon client “Mona” and I do have to say that it’s surprisingly feature-rich. It really allows you to set almost every aspect of the app to your liking.. #Mona #iOS

@leanpub @geerlingguy There’s a typo in the URL, I can’t click on it 😔

@lx@swiss.social avatar

Prove me wrong, but strings should not be comparable to booleans. How many times have I forgotten to wrap an expression in "{{ }}" only to have it assign a string to a variable not a boolean. I wonder why it's always true at the other end…

@lx Heya! Thank you for creating your xkcd bot!

I was wondering—have you considered having the bot post the high-res (Retina) version of each comic, instead of the 1x version?

@lx@swiss.social avatar

@Cykelero Sorry, it took me a while to get around to it, but it should be live now with the "_2x" in the URL. I am using a new deployment via Docker, so fingers crossed, it still works 😉

New week, new #ProtonMail feature!

⏰ Now you can snooze emails in the web app and be reminded of them when convenient.

Notifications for snoozed emails will appear on all your Proton Mail apps.

Snooze is one of the most requested community features, and we’re eager to hear what you think!

Learn more: https://proton.me/support/snooze-emails

@protonmail “Note that you can currently only snooze emails from the Proton Mail web app.” - That’s a bummer..

I wish @ivory had a feature where I could create lists of hashtags like in the web UI (ideally synced with those) so I can check on a few hashtags in a merged view. 🤔

Good news for #iOS users - now you can activate automatic deletion for 🔥 spam and 🗑️ trash emails older than 30 days!

Start saving #inbox storage every month with one single tap.

Available on all paid #ProtonMail plans: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/proton-mail-encrypted-email/id979659905

@protonmail Does the spam filter learn from me putting it in spam? Or could I just as well simply delete it?

lx,
@lx@swiss.social avatar

@protonmail "You can enhance and customize our filtering system using the spam, block, and allow lists." - Does that mean that other users will profit from me marking it as spam as well?
