📸✨ Wow, #JPEGs are magical! 🤯 Did you know they can show blurry #blobs of #disappointment instead of full disappointment when they’re only partly downloaded? 🤓 Marvel at the "exciting" world of low-frequency component headers—because what we all need is a picture that takes longer to disappoint us! 😂📂

Apple has once again graced us with a "revolutionary" discovery: their shiny new #M4 and #M5 #chips offer a stunningly #retro #experience by making your #4K #display look like it’s from 2005. 📺🔙 Who needs crystal-clear HiDPI when you can squint at #blurry #blobs or enjoy a cozy, cramped workspace? 🙃

@support.bsky.team it's blowing up! #Blobs clobs all of it. That's about number 12 or so for me. 🤯

Another #HowTo, this time how to use #Signal on #Android without giving it broad media permissions.
Signal does not use the 2 possible secure methods of accessint photos that Android offers, and clones #Whatsapp in that regard.
By insisting on needing access to read all your images, while being a complex app connected to the internet, and the only official versions containing proprietary #Google #blobs.
Links:
- https://community.signalusers.org/t/46828
- https://community.signalusers.org/t/55725Other messengers like #SimpleX, #Element, #ElementX, #Fluffychat, #Conversations, #Threema and more save themselves the effort and just use the builtin options, improving security by design and unnecessary code bloat.
So, how can I use Signal without trusting it with all my images?
1. Use the "Share" Portal.
That is the obvious one, and a very nice feature on Android. It allows to share any media to an application and giving it access to only that.
This also works across the #WorkProfile or #PrivateSpace and can be used by Apps like #SaveTo to transfer files.
The workflow is often slower than just using the media chooser portal, but it works. It is what I use since years.
2. Android hacks
But this is not all. Setting a profile picture or group profile picture does not work through the share portal. So we use a Feature specific to Androids Sandbox:
- All apps can save files to various default directories like Pictures, Movies, Music, Downloads, Documents; without having read access to it.
- And all apps can access files they themself saved there.Combining these two features, you can send a picture to Signal and use the "Save locally" button to save it from within the app.
The result is that this picture will be visible in Signals internal gallery and can be selected for profile and group pictures.
Obvious downsides are
- it is a stupid workflow
- it duplicates images that you need to delete manually afterwards
- pictures might be compressed twice, losing qualityBut for this very limited purpose, it is kinda fine.
Still, @signalapp please solve this very old issue!

🔍🤔 Oh great, another piece of MIT-induced #existential #dread, because we all needed to know that our lives might just be a glorified #game of #Pong. 🤖💻 Apparently, back in 1994, someone thought it was enlightening to watch #pixelated #blobs play Sims with themselves. 🕹️🎨

Sometimes, when I interview bacteria or animals, I ask myself if it's not too childish. But hey, the highly respected @cnrs lets #blobs talk!
In case you need some #goodNews: Blobs are sure to take over the world (well, my hypothesis). Thanks to the CNRS and a #citizenScience project, they are already living in countless children's bedrooms. 🤫 Listen to a blob: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dwcx6yCdDE8#NatureMatchCuts #blob #PhysarumPolycephalum #slimeMould #learning #intelligence #moreThanHuman
