#Workarounds tauchte zum ersten Mal im Protokoll der 53. Sitzung des 21. Deutschen Bundestages am 15.01.2026 auf. Das Protokoll findet sich unter https://dserver.bundestag.de/btp/21/21053.pdf

Signal... Why did you break the desktop app? Y'all integrated chat folders, but to only show the first folder, with no folder settings in the production app, and the beta app is not much better. macOS and Linux users also confirmed the issue. My workaround for now is on the Android app moving the All Chats folder to the first/top position, Unreads second (which was the first), and so on, which syncs to the desktop client.

Of the many minor to medium-size annoyances that come with a modern #Windows 11 installation, the requirement that you sign in with a Microsoft account is one of the most irritating.

Age Verification Laws Send VPN Use Soaring—and Threaten the Open Internet

Tried Spark and a couple of others. I appreciate Readdle apps (Documents in particular) and Spark offers a lot, but I’m still largely comfortable in Mail.app. Currently experimenting with quoting text from email for tasks and running an action that produces a Gmail search URL from that text. Short story: my email is provided by Gmail; Gmail search is better than Mail.app; as long as I’m able to reference the email associated with a task (easily), I’m okay. #workarounds https://toolsforthought.social/@jslr/114751270227375816

@cryptgoat ja, nur ist es quasi illegal @signalapp / #Signal #anonym (also faktisch nur #pseudonym, weil stets korrelierbar qua #Rufnummer -> #ICCID -> #IMSI -> #IMEI -> #Location) zu nutzen.

• Seit 07/2017 sind anonyme #SIM-Karten faktisch illegal und ne SIM mir Rufnummer ist ne #Paywall die faktisch teurer ist als nen @monocles - Abo.

Allein die notwendigen #Workarounds sind so heftig paywalled dass es eher sinn macht 1h Hands-on - Training zu investieren...

• Von den Problemen die Signal hat ganz zu schweigen...

Found a solution to a problem I wasn't exactly aware of.

Thought I was having problems with my Android phone getting switched to silent or low volume, because I was missing many, many text messages.

Eventually realized that the text alert sound was coming out my headset, or out the phone speaker, but never both. I was sure it used to come out both, the phone ringing comes out both...

Realized that this is a new phone (with IR and thermal cameras) and that the problem started when I changed phones.

Some Internet searching determined that some utter moron at Google has decided that only phone ringing can play out both the headset and the phone speaker, text messages will come out the headset if it's connected, out the speaker only if no headset is connected. WTAF, people? I take my headset off and put it in my pocket - no texts for me. Update your Android, start missing texts.

A little more searching found an easy solution - install Tasker or If This Then That, and program a simple task to play a phone ringtone on any incoming text.

I've tested it for a couple weeks now, it's a flawless workaround for a problem caused by idiotic software designers who think they know more than their users. You can even program different ringtones for texts from different people if you like.

Most security teams treat shadow IT — unauthorized tools, services, or workarounds — as a technical risk. And they’re not wrong. Unvetted apps can create vulnerabilities, expose sensitive data, break compliance, and fracture visibility. But underneath the risk lies a more nuanced reality:...

This post's main topic is a "workaround" for the 500 character limit.

I demonstrate how to put more characters in your post using attached on-point images. These are "screenshots" of the posts that are then later replaced by new text.

That simple really!

What do you think?

Also I did not add hashtag spam to say this is "spam".

I use it to say "if this is abused" it could be used for spam.

#godotengine discovery of the day. If you're trying to emit a particle effect and it happens inconsistently, it's due to this:
https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/58778

and the work around is this:

I'm glad the work around is easy as the particle effects are starting to pick up alot! The purple nest not spewing spores everytime was really bugging me.

Welche #Bugs, #Probleme, #Workarounds, #Lösungen und #Wünsche / #FeatureRequests habt ihr? Sind die bereits dokumentiert / mitgeteilt?

Meine Wünsche / Featurerequests:
- Spiegeln von Beiträgen/#RSS wie bei #Friendica
- zurück-Button, wenn man aus der Timeline in einen Thread springt, mit Rückkehr an dieselbe Stelle der Timeline
- browserunabhängige Beibehaltung von Individualisierungen wie die Navigationsleiste ohne Umweg über Einstellungsbackups, die man immer wieder einspielen muss, nur weil man den Browser wechselt oder die Cookies gelöscht hat.

Bugs
- Sperrung der IP, wenn man sich mehrmals hintereinander aus- und einloggt, ohne dass die Logindaten falsch eingegeben wurden
- Navigationssymbole im Videoplayer sind schwarz wie der Hintergrund (aber nicht immer)

A workaround is temporarily ok but as soon as you create a workaround for a workaround you are doing something wrong
