#HOWTO extract your data from one of those #Android #adb ".ab" #backup archives: apparently they're just tarballs with messed-up headers? https://status.hackerposse.com/url/22946 -

And #Manyverse ( #SSB client for #iOS and #Android ) is suddenly picking up incoming posts, at least on the iPad. I'll check the other tablet later. -

It's finally happened. For over a decade, seeing a #Windows update (either OS or application) has triggered an "oh, no, what's it going to break?" response. Now, #Android and #iOS do the same thing. -

I checked #Multiverse on #Android. Same issue. Cannot maintain a connection to a pub, so everything I can see is weeks old.
I'll wait another week or two before I completely abandon it.
I should write up my experience with the #SSB network. I'd heard so much about this wonder of #DCO (disconnected operation) and #P2P (peer-to-peer) that I think my expectations were too high. -

@corbin reviews the new #Microsoft Surface Duo phone ( #Android powered ) https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/09/10/microsoft-surface-duo-review/
Me: over $1,000 for a phone? That’s out of my price range. -

Seems strange to me, but #Xabber does not implement http://status.hackerposse.com/url/22221 I'm looking through some XEPs, looking for one that specifies that all requests sent from non-roster JIDs can be rejected.

On my older #Android devices, disabling Google Play Services was impossible. Or maybe I just remember it wrong. On the new phone, I was able to disable it. Of course, now any time something Google wrote launches, it notifies me that $APP_OR_SERVICE_NAME cannot function unless Google Play Services is enabled.
Funny that. Everything works fine. (And I'm accumulating a list of things that are not allowed to notify me.) -

@geniusmusing Yeah, it looks like #Android “LovelyDocs” was started, made it to the Google Play Store, then vanished. http://status.hackerposse.com/url/21522 in January, development of Dash for #iOS was discontinued. Wow. I know that iOS apps are a dumpster fire with all the platform changes, but that caught me off-guard. I do agree with http://status.hackerposse.com/url… -

I've been using #Manyverse ( #SSB software client ) on #iOS and #Android a little over the past couple of months. The only way to 'meet' people and make contacts is to join a pub. Copying a 'pub' invite and pasting it into the client is not easy. It took several tries on the Apple iPad, and was only possible by learning to trick the text selection function. On Android, there ar… -

And if you're considering #Shoyu ( #iOS app ) as your #GNU_Social client, it is garbage. It apparently was an old Twitter client that supports Twitter's functionality from several years ago, and very little else. It is slooo-o-o-o-o-o-owwwww to post, even when other clients are not. I haven't seen anything else for iOS that supports GS, but it might be worth going to the big bl… -

Okay, boot loop slowed, so I was able to call for provisioning ... phone rebooted after 1-2 minutes of use, but was able to complete it on the 3rd call. The #iPhone was okay until #iOS 10.3.0, and then immediately started having severe battery life issues. Taking a little break and then comes the actual set up of the new phone and attempting to wipe the old one before shipping … -

So very preliminary experience with #Session says this is not something that very many people will be willing to use. Even before I contact the kids to ask one of them to join me as a guinea pig, I installed the Session software on on #iOS tablet and one #Android tablet. I launched the iOS app, created an ID, flipped over to the "link a device" QR code, clicked "Link to an exis…
