Accrescent is in early alpha, but it looks like it's on its way to be a great, modern app store.
There's been an issue about this on lemmyverse's Github for about a month, link here. It seems like there's an issue where lemmy.world is responding incorrectly when it is scanned for communities, and since it hasn't been fixed lemmyverse hasn't been scanning lemmy.world.
I found the My Deep Guide youtube channel to be a really good source of reviews when I was choosing an eink tablet, here's a link to his 2022 roundup.
I went with a Supernote A5X around 2.5 years ago. My usecase was for college to take lecture notes and to read academic papers/epubs. I went with the Supernote over the reMarkable for the software support: I really like the concept of reMarkable's Linux-based OS and being able to use community mods, but it felt like I would need the mods to have all the features I wanted, while the Supernote wouldn't allow for modification but would have everything I wanted built in. I've been satisfied with the writing and reading experience, customer support is responsive via email and Reddit, and OS updates have been adding new features without a subscription.
Kbin uses /m/ (for magazine), but Lemmy uses /c/ (I believe for community). So the url you want is https://lemm.ee/c/historyartifacts@kbin.social
(And to get a link that will work on any instance, not just lemm.ee, using !historyartifacts@kbin.social as a link should work and is generally preferred)
I'm very excited about this - Apple has such a polished customer care experience where you can walk into any Apple Store that Google hasn't matched. Increasing the options for in-store repair from just Asurion/uBreakiFix to more stores is big for my peace of mind.
Starting with Android 12 (and maybe earlier, I think it may be a part of a Google Play update?), you can delete your advertising ID in settings - definitely worth doing!
There's a github issue about this if you want to add anything to it, this separate issue also has some details about the sanitation. The issue seems to have been introduced in v0.18.3.
Google recently announced they're backing the new RFC 9420 standard - no clue what that means for the future of RCS or if this standard will go anywhere but optimistically this can be the one everyone gets behind and is open to everyone? 🤷
Eh, maybe take this with a grain of salt - I cross posted this from !android@lemdro.id, but taking a closer look at the article their source is this tweet (nitter link), and the account directly says in the account bio "Not a Google Account, not affiliated with Google". So just be warned this is not an official announcement from the Pixel team like the article claims.
I don't believe Squabbles is federated/using ActivityPub, so you can't connect to it through Lemmy. We can connect to Lemmy instances, as well as some other ActivityPub communities (most notably Kbin and Mastadon instances), but Squabbles is not using ActivityPub, it's an entirely separate social media.
I'm a software nerd, my biggest priority is keeping Android up-to-date on security and features, so it really seems like Samsung would be the best fallback option with a proven track record of getting security updates out as quick (or quicker) than Google and typically promising 4 years of OS upgrades/5 years of security patches (here's an article with many phone manufacturers policies). I'd really miss the stock Android experience and unlockable bootloader though!
Just a note that the flatpak is not made by the Signal Foundation, it is maintained unofficially by the community. See the last sentence on the app description on Flathub:
There's a discussion about the community flatpak's trustworthiness on their repo here and here, a feature request for the Signal Foundation to have an official distro-agnostic release here, but for now the only official Linux release of Signal is for Debian-based distributions.
