See why you're wrong? Deal with it, the dev for Infinity for Lemmy has already said he's looking for a new name anyways. Go to the thread for suggestions and add your own thoughts for a new name there.
Yeah, I chose CalyxOS over Graphene because it seems to me that CalyxOS focuses a lot more on usability (thanks to it's MicroG support) than Graphene does. Graphene has likely improved on that front thanks to their sandboxing GSF approach, but it used to be slower to open apps and overall a bit less snappy due to the security features it enables. Plus, the team behind CalyxOS is fantastic, great guys who believe in what they are doing. Meanwhile, the leader of GrapheneOS is a bit... Psychotic, although he did recently step down after Louis Rossman called him out.
For ProtonAOSP, that's basic just stock android. However, I'm unaware of it comes with either MicroG or Google Services installed. If it doesn't, then you're gonna have to figure out how to get support for apps either by flashing MicroG along with it, or be stuck with Foss app only. If it comes with Google Services, then it's basically no different than stock Pixel Android at that point, which you might as well stick with to gain the full benefit of the Pixel device.
Hmm, yeah I missed that. It technically is a different class of app, but may still not be worth the risk.
As some one else also suggested, I really like the name "Parsec." It keeps the astronomy reference of the original app, but it's also unique, and fitting too as it's a way to measure distances in the infinity of space and the universe.
Therefore one could say a Parsec is a way of measuring the Infinite. :)
I love my Pixel 6 Pro! I run a De-Googled ROM (CalyxOS) on mine, but even with that, basically every Pixel feature still works as expected. Google Camera is fantastic (doubly so on CalyxOS since I can firewall it from the internet), the AI features in the photos app works exactly as expected (and firewalled too), the camera itself is fantastic as well. Beautiful screen, great speakers, absolutely wonderful and beautiful form factor for a phone.
Only real complaint is battery life isn't the best it could be, compared to the top-tier iphones or Samsung Galaxy devices, but it's hardly "terrible" either, as some have made it out to seem. It does seem like running a De-Googled ROM may help that some (and I've had fewer bug issues than it seems stock Pixel Android users have dealt with, which is weird given CalyxOS is built on AOSP).
Overall though, I love my Pixel 6 Pro and absolutely intend to stick with it well into the future, and likely consider another Pixel when the time comes.
Not really, it's not even the same name. It's called "Infinity for Lemmy," where as the original app is called "Infinity for Reddit." There should be no confusing them. Secondly, I don't think that DocileAlligator would disapprove of the work being done here either. It carries on the legacy of the app he helped make, and it also carries on the spirit of what open-source can achieve.
He really is. He put in a lot of work to make Infinity work as well as it did. I viewed it as the best alternative to Apollo for Android users. But I guess that's all in the past now mostly...
Regardless, I really am glad to see this work being carried on for Lemmy. I hope DocileAlligator can see that happening, and appreciates seeing it happen. Would be cool to even get him over here one day. :)
Heh, as an addendum to that last bit, Truth actually got a C&D order from the Mastodon creator(s) and had to make the source code available, iirc. I know Gab faced that too.
I use Tracker Control (I don't get why the hate for it from others, but whatever...), And mostly likely what it's picking up on is external images, assets, or links from the app. If you click on a link in the app, it'll show that as a thing the app accessed. So if you click on a Google link or a Twitter link, it'll show up in TC.
Heh, I'll just leave this here for folks.
