Just noticed that unlike mastodons join page, lemmy doesn't have a "join" or "create an account" button. It'd be nice to have one, it would be more straightforward to join.

Or perhaps there is a reason why it doesn't exist?

There is a script that can do that if you are comfortable using that: https://github.com/howdy-tsc/LemmyTools
It only works on the lemmy's own webui. From what I can tell, Alexandrite doesn't have such feature.

What is even the point of "piracy groups"? What exactly can you find there that you cannot in other places designed for that, e.g., trackers, usenet, forums...?

 

Added an initial Anti-Cheat detection system. When a user is detected as cheating, during the game session the opponents will be given a choice between banning the user immediately and ending the match or turning the cheater into a frog for the rest of the game and then banning them afterwards. The system is set to conservative detection levels as we work on a v2 anti-cheat system that is more extensive. We will turn on the banning of users in a couple of days after the update is out. When a match is ended this way, the results will not count for other players.

I can find it on Droidify no problem and after reading your comment, I also tried on F-droid app and I can see it there as well. Maybe you don't have it configured properly.

Seems like it.

 

You can't remove things from it, you cannot rearrange it... Useless things and suggestions get stuck at the top.

I'm on Android 13. Have they made any improvements in the newer versions of Android?

So, there are 2 main places for shortcuts/actions: tracker actions and edge actions.

These are my tracker actions

I set it so it activates when I tap and hold the tracker, it shows up those shortcuts. If I slide my finger towards one of the shortcuts, it activates it.

These are my edge actions

These are actions/shortcuts that you trigger by pushing the cursor to the edge of the screen.

You can pick any app from your phone or any of the actions available in the app, there are a lot... Like system controls (volume, brightness control, media playback buttons, screen lock, screen rotation, etc.) and you can also make a shortcut for Tasker/MacroDroid/Automate action. So basically, you can make a shortcut for almost anything you can think of.

On Android, it's probably a little utility software called Quick Cursor (it's not FOSS). It's incredibly convenient being able to spawn a cursor on your phone from thin air that you can use to reach the "unreachable" portions of your screen, especially if you are holding your phone with one hand. Besides being a "phone touchpad" it has a bunch of ways of triggering actions/shortcuts, for example: volume or brightness control, launching an app (I use it for launching a floating calculator, notes...), opening notification shade, copying text (it can copy any text that is under the cursor, even if it's not selectable)...

It's not that I couldn't go without it, but it changed the way I use my phone and it would feel really weird without it. It feels like it should be a part of the OS.

A few nights ago I was trying to read a book, and there was a dog across the road who wouldn't stop barking. I was reading a single page for 15 minutes until I was finally able to tune him out.

Right! I was wondering why it stopped working, it's pretty useful.

Chill, It's just a web comic...

I was looking for a bookmark app that can sync via Syncthing too, but I had no luck finding such an app.

I think I will end up using markdown editor (notes app), specifically Markor, because it allows appending links to a file (note) through the share menu. It's using .md files which you can easily sync via Syncthing, and then open the file on desktop with some markdown editor like Joplin.
On desktop you would have to manually copy and paste the link into the file though.

It's probably possible to streamline that process more, but if you don't save a lot of links it's ok, I guess.

Watch with the sound on :D

 

That is unfortunate...
I had an unrealistic expectation, I thought they'd be able to support Manifest v2 for a long time, or find some kind of workaround.

They say Vivaldi is future proof because of their built in adblocker, but unfortunately it is not very good...

 
 

Nowadays, most people use password managers (hopefully). However, there are still some passwords that you need to memorize, like master password (for a password manager), phone lock, wifi password, etc.

Security wise, can passphrase reach the strength of a good password without getting so long that it defeats the purpose of even using it?

 

It happens rarely, but I will notice either my phone or the charger getting pretty toasty randomly. What could be causing this?

 
 

It seems like I'm logged out every time I initially load a page, but if I refresh the page or open a link (within my instance) in a new tab, I'm logged in again...

I saw quite a few posts on this topic but I never found a solution...Is there some workaround for this?
