Terrible that the privacy fronted for twitter (Nitter) is no longer maintained. Archive.today seems to work though: https://archive.is/Q2dZJ

Anki is a flashcard system that makes use of spaced repetition to help one learn a topic.

I came across a project/service that used Japanese anime screenshots to teach the language, and incorporated it with Anki cards. Not sure if absoluteunit1 meant that project by what he said.

I don't know if anyone else noticed but the article cites an Asianometry video on the topic, but names them as Asianomics, maybe autocorrect issue?

Do you mind elaborating on your process for ‘tagging’?

I’ve been looking for some type of solution to send a url to something which can then scrape the URL.

Currently my process is to just send it to myself on a self hosted Zulip server (Slack like alternative) but I find it a bit cumbersome.

I’ve been considering an email based system after reading a blogpost from Stephen Wolfram someone posted recently here but I‘ve been looking for what others have done as well.

I’ve personally experienced something like this as I use a 43 inch Roku TV as a display. I initially connected it to the wifi to see the features available, but factory reset it after I got a popup type image displayed when it was plugged in as a monitor for my PC.

I found this stackoverflow link explaining what a Y combinator is helpful: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/93526/#94056

Perhaps there are some settings that still rely on Google that can’t be disabled, such as push notifications. Most if not all apps from the Google Play store will use their framework to send push notifications to your device. If you get notifications on messaging apps with microG disabled, this could be an indication that your device is still using Google services under the hood

Perhaps I phrased it a bit badly but the developers say that they sandbox Google Play as they would for any other app installed on the device.

I unfortunately can’t speak to what they mean by sandboxed Google Play being ‘close to fully functional’ as I haven’t used it yet.

I’ve also been trying to replace notification push servers for msg notifications as those are usually routed through Google services. This article has a short explanation of what I’m referring to: https://medium.com/@KaushalVasava/push-notification-in-andro...

Like others have mentioned, I was also referring to the connectivity checks as well. GrapheneOS maintains some servers to provide the same service which the Google equivalents do, just without actually talking to Google.

One thing I wanted to mention after reading the article is that LineageOS has Google servers hard coded into the OS, while GrapheneOS gives you the option of using their servers instead. It also allows you to selectively turn on certain features that require Google code, such as e-sim cards.

LineageOS has their own implementation of gapps, which they have built into their sandbox system. I can choose to install Google services as a sandboxed app rather than a package that I have to flash to the OS at install time, as it is to my understanding you cannot flash gapps to an install that is not clean through implementations like microG.
