    Have you replied to the wrong person?

    If you were replying to me, the WebUI is best optimized for landscape use, and I don't like using my phone in portrait mode much, especially if I want to type.
    Plus I get tabs. The Android multitasking is unreliable, and switching is inconvenient. There's no desktop-like panel, and background apps often die if more of them are open at once.
    Lastly, embeds. Apps usually only work with images with regular URL, the WebUI works with Images, Video, Audio also in base64 data tag for tiny images, and images can be made into buttons.

    Let me give you examples:

    This is the Bulgarian Radio 1 stream:


    Probably broken in most Lemmy apps.

    And here's a button, but in base64 so it's directly in the comment, since it is pretty small:


    Probably also broken in some apps.

    These are edge cases, but an advantage too. If I wasn't lazy, I could use animated bullets and lines like on the old web, but in Lemmy comments.

    Welcome to this example comment

    Make sure to:

    Have fun

  • Firefox on Android was a bit of pain for desktop sites. First the tabs on top were missing, and until recently, the scaling was screwed up compared to Opera/Chrome.

  • Me spraying everything with LMG and extended mags:

  • Until I got to your comment I actually thought I had read capitalism. I just thought it was the "if it's free, you're the product".

  • Quite ironic to read this during the war in Ukraine. /j

    What's the connection between the two?

  • Also there are a lot more types of meat than beef.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha-gal_syndrome

    The alpha-gal molecule is found in all mammals except catarrhines (apes and Old World monkeys), the taxonomic branch that includes humans.

    Sounds like you could still eat fish, human and chicken (and other bird) meat as usual.

  • Holy hell, the Ubuntu ISO is 6.3GB now. Soon it may not even fit onto a DL DVD.

  • price for a domain name

    Or host your own VPN on home network. Or use Tailscale VPN, that also works behind CG-NAT, and can usually get direct connection.

  • You guys have sound? I can't unmute it in Lemmy, and directly on Imgur the unmute is grayed out.

    Edit: Hmm, works on Firefox, again

    Not the first time some media worked only in Firefox, but not Chrome. Embedded FLAC wouldn't play (despite it being supported), WebSDR audio wouldn't start, from the other times I recall.
    Again being reminded to switch.

  • In China, coins and banknotes have all but disappeared

    Wouldn't that mean they're far more used than ever instead?

  • 8 weeks? Really?

    Where I live people usually start going about it in September or October till mid fucking January. Or at least the supermarkets/advertisements start that. Remember Jesus? Time to waste money, give it to us!

  • Advanced versions can even instruct your phone to change important settings under the hood and expose you to significant vulnerabilities.

    The scariest thing for me.

    At one point I got something along the lines of "Your carrier has changed some settings, tap to review.", once again showing me that my phone isn't mine.
    In this case it was emergency alerts, but I don't know what all they can change. It wasn't a carrier phone, by the way.
    I also found apps related to (I think) multiple carriers, just disabled by default on Moto G52 5G. Orange was definitely one of them.

  • My closest attempt at pronouncing that:

    echo 'šxʷməθkʷəy̓əmasəm' | aplay -c 1 -f u8 -r 2000 -t raw -
    
      
  • Unfortunately, when buying a phone I always have to make some compromise. If I aim for hardware or very specific feature, there's going to be a compromise in software.

    If I was looking for software, Google Pixel with GrapheneOS looks quite nice.

    To be specific with the key features/functionality of my phone:

    Software: Surviving high DPI without the software falling apart (I hate how large everything is on phones by default, plus >=600dp the tablet mode is awesome), OMAPI (needed for external eUICC), manual band mode selection (indoors and in vehicles this can sometimes make a huge difference, like from 35Mbps to 150Mbps based on my tests), manual cell tower selection (I haven't yet made much use of this apart from figuring out that towers in city seem to have 1km limit), and a lot of other stuff in Engineer Mode that I don't yet understand so I won't touch (some settings can persist factory reset).

    Hardware: 85.14Wh battery (22,000mAh for the more marketable way to write it, and for comparison, my ThinkPad has a 45Wh battery), Dual SIM + SD card (not hybrid), IR blaster, headphone jack, custom button (short, long, double click), 1,000lm light that sucks up 6W (I don't have a way to measure that though), night vision camera (IR), FM radio that works without earphones (still works better with them).

    No need for Neuralink. There's already ads in your brain that can be spawned.

    My refurbished ThinkPad (L390 Yoga) came with wrong rubber feet (too thick) not allowing it to turn into tablet mode.
