I just poked on the demo and I think it could, however it might be a bit clunky. Maybe could be a viable thing to request of the dev. Maybe alongside a donation for a sort of bounty.

For the android users, just gonna put this here

I think it’s gonna end up being bad. Mainly because most people are gonna hear on Fox News that this was due to some flaw in Signal, and just take that at face value. A lot of people are not gonna even read an article about why or what even happened.

Just wanna be clear that this didn’t happen because of some technical flaw/vulnerability in Signal. This was completely Human Error

My first thought as well. “Weird they were allowing it before…”

I think the point they’re making is you can effectively have a self hosted non federated option with Matrix. Just disable federation as a whole (which I’m pretty sure is completely possible. Given companies use matrix for comms, and might not want federation, for similar reasons to what is being discussed here)

Don’t have a good rec to add to the discussion of hardware, but I would love to give a shoutout to GadgetBridge, which is an Open Source Android app that is a vendorless alternative to controlling lots of smart wearables (and other gadgets). It doesn’t currently have Polar support, but seems that might be fairly easy to implement, since polar publishes their SDK online (and presumably the protocol with which it communicates).

Why would it make sense? Currently on Android, RCS isn’t a system level thing like SMS is. So Signal won’t easily be able to pull it in. Unless they implement their own implementation of RCS and the Universal Profile.

It would be awesome if Polar was supported by GadgetBridge, because then you could have fully offline and private control of the device.

GB recently got Garmin support and it’s pretty solid. I switched from the Garmin app to GB exclusively and haven’t lost really any features. Besides the social networking, but that omission is a feature, not a bug.

If it’s really 3rd party friendly, I wonder how easy it would be to get support.

Thanks, I hate it

SG1 represent. A lot of people say it’s old and campy, but I love it so much

To be fair, I have a buddy who works at square. He said that the CEO is actually really passionate about Tidal.

Define “a minute”. I normally get things from Usenet within minutes of it finishing airing

It’s very sweet. Gonna through DrunkenSlug in as well. I’ve used geek, eweka, slug, and abnzb. I currently use geek and slug. Eweka is also great, just didn’t re-up. Abnzb is meh.

Tbf, I am not a grey beard chief engineer, and I strongly prefer VHDL for design. For verification I actually really like SystemVerilog.

VHDL is strongly types, which prevents a lot of issues with types that I’ve hit with [System]Verilog.

Also, having learned VHDL first, I think it is easier to go from VHDL to Verilog, as opposed to vice versa. And this is mainly because VHDL is stricter.

Pedantry*

Lol, so much of the FPGA industry 🤣. Especially East coast of the US

Same here.

VHDL represent. Although it’s arguably not a “programming language”

My bad. I thought I saw that they ship with them now. I haven’t really looked at the configurator since I got mine in 2021.
