This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Why can’t this be a web app that uses web notifications? Why does it even need to be an on-device app? That’s building in a vulnerability that doesn’t need to be there.
Make it a site. Go to the site. Pin the site. Allow notifications from site. Done.
Yes, Apple and Google are in the wrong, but why are we relying on them for this at all? Not everything needs to be a fucking app.
What's even stopping them from just uploading to archive.org?
Cause tech illiterate people need as much friction removed as possible.
This isn’t a tech illiteracy issue. Sure you CAN take a video, and upload it to archive.org from your phone.
Try doing that while actively being abused by ICE.
It’s about making the process as foolproof as possible, because seconds matter here, and making sure that footage is backed up as quickly as possible is paramount.
What a way to say the same thing but differently, well done.
Nope, you’re conflating tech illiteracy with failing to meet the needs of the use case. Hope that helps!
this is why we need to install apps without their approval or verification.

They want to stop us controlling anything.

Future of democracy in the US relies on the people being vaguely intelligent as a group. Right now tens of millions of people there are straight-up worshipping an obvious fascist as god-king and a sizeable portion of the other chunk is still desperately clinging to the idea of being “moderate”.
A linux phone would be nice but it’s not going to save the world if the people are still dumb and cowardly.
Future of democracy in the US relies on the people being vaguely intelligent as a group.
Yeah, it's fucked.
The free western world really need to fast track the divide from US controlled tech.
Stuff like this is why Google wants to restrict sideloading to "verified developers" only.
Even if an app like this isn't distributed through Google Play, they could disable the developer's account for any vague "abuse" reason.
Corpos are not your friends. In fact they are usually the enemy.
they are ~~usually~~ always the enemy
Because corporations suck up to fashists if they are in power. That's all.
We need to spread the word of lemmy reddit mods are banning everything
Not surprised at all.
