Yep. Connect using Bluetooth or via a USB dongle/dock.

Quarter, technically :)

Worst is when you report these obvious bot comments and the social media website replies saying it found nothing wrong.

So annoying.

On my phone right now so using my phone’s Downloads folder. 2 years old.

It’s this meme:

Don’t put za ketchup on za shawarma

Yep.

I’m not sure if mods are a proper criteria when it comes to comparing Lemmy and Reddit. The audience is mostly the same and Lemmy doesn’t automatically make people/mods better or worse.

Also, you forgot one major point: API! I get to use and support my third party app of choice Sync here on Lemmy which was killed off by Reddit.

• KDE Connect: Transfer files, clipboard, notifications between your phone and computer on your local network.
• Unit Lab: Easy converter. Allows you to add different units together (eg. 5kg + 10lb + 4 stone).
• Seal: Great front-end for yt-dlp. Allows you to download YT/IG/TikTok videos. Would like to see IG image download support.
• AVNC: VNC client, allowing me to remotely access my laptop from my phone via local network.
• Binary Eye: Barcode scanner with the option to turn on scan history.
• Copy: Copy text from apps that otherwise may not allow you to copy text. Also allows for easy taking of screenshots.
• Save To…: Useful for saving certain files that sometimes don’t give the option to save.
• Secure Tether: Share your mobile data as a hotspot for other phones/computers, bypassing your provider’s restrictions on hotspot.

It’s tempting to opt for telematics/black box insurance because of the initial cheaper prices but the privacy violations and potential downsides make it not worth it.

You can be the best defensive driver in the world but sometimes you’re just going to have to brake hard to avoid an object that may jump on you, dinging your driving score and raising your premiums.

Contrary to what this post’s image says, I’m reading online that these apps aren’t perfect at differentiating between who’s a driver and who’s a passenger.

Have fun fighting with your insurance to get them to remove anything from your record.

Last week a squirrel decided it didn’t want to live anymore and jumped into my way while I was driving. It was on an empty slow street at night so I was safely able brake hard to avoid killing the poor thing. If I had spyware insurance they would’ve dinged me for it.

Java is quite popular online due to all the mods and the videos people upload to YouTube using those mods, but I believe in terms of number of users, Bedrock outscores it quite a bit. The barrier to entry is lower – $7 on iOS/Android and most people have phones.

I’ve been using SecureTether https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.panjava.internet.sharing.tethering.mobile.hotspot.secure.wifi.securetether to get around it. Requires a bit of setup but works without issues after.

I dont believe something like this is possible on iOS.

:(

I bought the V2 suite of their apps at release to support the company because I’m tired of perpetual subscription software. I’m not expecting lifetime updates or support, I just want whatever I paid for to work reasonably without hassles.

The easiest way I’ve found without root or ADB is to use Solid Explorer. Well worth the cost.

I select the APK I want and copy it to a different directory. Extremely painless.

That’s pretty clever. I bought 3 for my family living in the same house…

Aside from the Nexus One, Google phones have not had micro SD card slots. It’s crazy how one part of the company (Google Drive) can influence the other (Nexus/Pixel).

Then again, Samsung makes micro SD cards and gutted the slot from their S series too…

I had the 8 GB Nexus 4 and it was annoying to have to clear cache from apps ever so often.

It’s pretty good but it works with a limited database stored on your phone.

With Google Assistant’s music recognition you get to access a larger database stored on their servers.

I used to think the same, until it happened to me twice…

I got playful groans both times for being the only person in a class group with an Android. I have an iPad so it ended up being a non-issue.

Heck, I was talking to a guy with a Pixel 7 who said the woman he was dating thought it was a red flag. She’s 28.

I’m not saying it should exist, but stuff like this very much affects people whether we like it or not and pretending like it’s a non-issue doesn’t help them.

I don’t think it’s an Android feature. It shows up on desktop as well.

Ease of use.

With your one Discord account you join all the servers you care about and interact with online/IRL friends.

There are downsides that people at Lemmy will find dealbreaking and I absolutely agree with them, but the convenience of it being a chat, forum (almost), voice/video calling and gaming platform for free with (currently) no ads triumphs all of that for the majority of people, and that’s what makes it popular. It’s also cross-platform so no one’s left out.

Gonna check it out. Thanks for the suggestion!
