They’re nearly on for a dead on slice of the Pi, but I’ll leave the puns out of it.

Huh, seems more about locking Chrome down but doesn’t touch on Webviews.

On Boost it inserts the markdown like so

Blah blah ::: spoiler spoiler blah ::: blah

Are people downloading youtube videos to their Plex/Jellyfin and watching them locally?

Of course they are, and you can stream the media or download it via many other means including youtube-dl.

They also still actively thwart users who are on a CG-NAT’ed connection so I ponder if the legality is now starting to bog them down.

Yeah I was of the same mindset for a good while and generally rocked with Nova since forever.

But when that Branch shit came about I dabbled with Neo/KISS/Niagara/Kvaesitso Launchers (which Neo is still the default on my backup locker phone) and others but when I got this Poco F6 I found the system Launcher works fine…🤔

Apart from this stupid thing which I think is more a “Xiaomi/HyperOS thing”, and not the Poco Launcher per se

Something I have noticed thou over these years is I really don’t spend too much time looking, or interacting with my Launcher so kinda don’t care 🙈

Kinda reminded me of this post

Albeit the kerning on those virtual keys are making me all itchy. Horrible horrible implementation from Google yet again when they could’ve done it right.

Aye!

I think one of the most concerning things for me thou recently is Google Play just chucking off dev’s apps from the Store because they don’t update them at a rate of knots / some arbitrary thing that hasn’t been disclosed to devs or left in a puddle of legalese in the TOS :/

I think your concerns about lack of updates is something while it worries some, I find it nice when updates are released only when it’s stable.

If you check the devs history they reviewed a pull on KISS launcher itself back in Nov

https://github.com/Neamar/KISS/pull/2345#issuecomment-2496214318

and I like slow burner builds and especially when the devs make the app for themselves to use like this one ;)

Hell yes.

I ain’t a lover of that kinda app (aesthetics plz) and why I stick with Boost being a RiF user but having lots of alternatives is one of the many reasons we all kicked off originally over in r/Android about the API bollocks Mr Greedy Piggy Spez brought in. That, and shitting on the disabled/spam whackers/translators you name it. Pissed us off enough we made this instance.

Does that official reddit app have decent Accessibility features yet, or was Spez yet again talking out of his pooper?

Good work btw, and obligatory fuck spez ;)

I haven’t built / tried it yet but would getting rid of the reddit logo up top too (leddit, perhaps?) work well? Or even load up your local instance favicon etc?

Aye. I’ve still got my Nexus One somewhere and while it feels dinky and have svelte enough pinkys to use it, it does feel like a EDC kinda thing that does phone calls + mp3 + browser.

But I also like the “plablet” era since what’s the point of straining our eyes and trying to poke at the smallest advert “X” box on a likkle phablet?

Cargo pants + wifi + VPN at work I likey and saves me a few quid each month too.

Crazy to think in a couple of years RCS will be two decades old in the making

https://www.gsma.com/newsroom/press-release/gsma-to-take-rich-communication-suite-forwards/

I remember getting all excited when googs tried to take it by the reins in 2016ish but the amount of people that still…

1 - simply hate it and only use SMS still (and turn off mobile data too like neanderthrals)

2 - hate it because RCS sometimes just does not work because they got a backlog of “texts” suddenly coming through, and turn it off

3 - use a third party app for messaging instead and have done with it

I really don’t see how it’s gonna compete with Apple being, Apple too :/

I have no idea where it got Andraiod daydreams from but thought I’d make you a nice personal AI wallpaper 😇

On a serious note though before peeps rip me a new one for even suggesting AI images?

Muzei is still pretty cool to this day, Xiaomi theme thingy has some probably knocked off images that I’m currently using, and even just searching for something when I’m that bored enough to actually change my wallpaper.

At least I plan to set it up on my server to try it out - as soon as I’m having some time to breath…

The install script is wonderbar and I installed it here at work, from my phone 🙈

I know I know, I really shouldn’t go curl’ing > random bash scripts from the internet but it is some damn fine script if you read through it

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lanedirt/AliasVault/main/install.sh

I look forward to playing with it when I get home, and thanks for the heads up!

Nope, like I said some in general just dump their questions and leave hence there been a separate place for support questions.

I don’t use any, so I’m curious what the community thinks

yeah I suppose that’s the crux of the issue. Some want “more numbers” to view their post whilst not really engaging the !askandroid (or !android) community otherwise :/

edit: clarity

Well yeah, but like I also said over on Matrix this post of yours should really include the prior ROM’s you’ve used/problems you encountered to spark more discussion?

It’s a bit of a cul-de-sac of a post to be honest.

I don’t think much has even been removed here but there is also something else that occurred to me.

Direct image links. Users just dumping a screenshot of their “problem” and then just scooting off with not much context and why we asked them over on r/Android for them to at least contain that image in a .self post, and then describe what they’ve already done to try and resolve their issue etc.

Like I said over on Matrix, this is the bit that would bother me

I think the one thing to take into account is if !android did grow to silly levels (I joined r/Android when it was at ~1000 users) when you have 2 million users you do need a degree of a separation

Help vampires while I like to try and help, there’s too many of you 🙈

Similar to this bollocks we have in the UK, stopping Internet users accessing content leads to one or two things.

Geo proxies to bypass it, or some poor soul downloading malware hosted to fill that gap. Stupid stupid stupid.
