There’s a discussion specifically about opt-in/opt-out on Fedora Discussion here. Per the Fedora Project Leader, “this is the first time we’re using Fedora Discussion as the main place for a Change Proposal discussion”. Make your voice heard!
At the bottom right of every page, you can click on the “Instances” button (or just go to https://lemmy.zip/instances) to see what instances your site is federated with/is defederated from. lemmy.ml is under linked, so lemmy.zip is federating with them.
What you may be running into is that on this smaller instance, you may need to discover the communities:
These previous ways [searching for instances] will only show communities that are already known to the instance. Especially if you joined a small or inactive Lemmy instance, there will be few communities to discover. You can find more communities by browsing different Lemmy instances, or using the Lemmy Community Browser. When you found a community that you want to follow, enter its URL (e.g. https://feddit.de/c/main) or the identifier (e.g. !main@feddit.de) into the search field of your own Lemmy instance. Lemmy will then fetch the community from its original instance, and allow you to interact with it. The same method also works to fetch users, posts or comments from other instances.

Agree - I jumped from a OnePlus 5T to a Pixel 5a 2 years ago and have no regrets. It really depends on what you’re modding for, but I found that on Pixel not having (as much) bloatware, getting the latest Android updates, having real Google Camera support instead of chasing the best mod, and using Wavelet instead of Viper4Android took care of most of my rooting needs. Instead, with the unlockable bootloader I’ve been able to explore custom OSes like GrapheneOS which has been really great!
This whole website is great, thanks for sharing! Currently hooked on drawing a perfect circle
I believe it’s this issue for 0.0.36, where it will always use your account’s preferences: https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/issues/887
It looks like a temporary fix is already done, so it should be fixed when they make a new release (0.0.37). As a quick fix for 0.0.36, it looks like if you change your account’s preferences, quit the app and reopen, it’ll use those new settings (but that’s definitely a pain), you could also use the web version.
I also found https://sub.rehab to be a good source for finding reddit replacements, with some more subs than redditmigration.
I am in shock, had to take a second to process that - Infinity Train blew me away and I’m beyond excited to see Owen Dennis leading another show! Never would have expected an Among Us show though - hope he has free reign to go interesting places with it!
Defunctland’s Disney’s Fastpass: A Complicated History is a fantastic dive into the logistics of managing a giant crowd over several years, from approaching it as an engineering problem all the way to exploiting the system for profit. It’s such a fascinating problem to me, and it’s presented in an engaging and fun way. The rest of the channel is fantastic too!
I’ll also recommend Fascinating Horror - these aren’t fictional horror stories, these are real disasters told in an incredibly detailed but highly respectful way. They don’t just explain the disaster and why/how it happened, but also the regulations that came afterwards to make sure these would never happen again. They’re all high quality, but if you want a starting point the Nutty Butty Caves will give you a good idea what the channel is about.
Manifest V3 will not prevent Brave from blocking ads. We built ad blocking into the browser itself so it will not be affected by Google changing its rules for extensions.
If you’re on Android 12 or higher with a supported device, you could disable camera access with a quick settings toggle. If the camera is disabled, any app using the camera just gets a black image. (It does cause a popup asking if you want to unblock the camera, but you can just hit cancel.)
I’m really excited for what it means for the future! I’m not going to buy a first-gen product like this, but the fact that Google is making a foldable hopefully means that Android is going to become a better experience on devices like these, so when the technology does get cheaper the software will be ready for it. I’m totally onboard with having a larger display in a more pocketable form factor.
I’m definitely not an expert and there may be a better solution to this! Just sharing what my experience has been.
You can share any image through the GUI because that will open an xdg-desktop-portal that lets you select the file - Teams/Whatsapp doesn’t know what’s on your file system, only the portal does. The portal brings in your selected image and only your selected image into Edge/Whatsapp, therefore maintaining the sandbox.
Dragging and dropping doesn’t go through a portal, so if the sandboxed application doesn’t have access to wherever that image is, it can’t accept it because it doesn’t know about it! It has to have access to this file. As you mentioned this is something that can be solved in Flatseal: for instance, I added the Screenshots folder to my Firefox permissions so I can drag and drop photos from the Screenshots folder. Adding this allows me to drag and drop images from Screenshots (and any other folders in this “Other files” section), but dragging and dropping from anywhere else doesn’t work since Firefox doesn’t know about it.
You could enable all user files if you want to be able to drag images from anywhere, but that breaks the sandbox since the app would then have access to all files in your home.
I’ve only been thinking about the implications of faking a celebrity’s voice - personalizing it like this makes me sick to my stomach. Had no idea it’s already that easy. I don’t think the voice would even have to be that realistic - if they’re faking a life threatening situation, my first thought isn’t going to be “Hey, their voice sounded a little off”. Absolutely horrifying.
Thought it was great! It was wonderfully chaotic, Mumei did a great job voice acting, and we got some A-chan English, what else could you ask for? Super excited for Bae’s episode next week!
Hey, I can see your comment.
Ugh, what a pain! I was in a similar boat with not having a phone for that week (my 5a had bricked itself :)), definitely learned a lesson to keep an old phone lying around for the worst case scenario. Definitely jealous that we don’t have a Genius Bar. Hope your replacement gets to you soon!
The Talos Principle - for me, the puzzles hit the sweet spot of being hard enough to be on my mind all day, but never feeling like the solution was out of reach. But even more than the puzzles, the philosophical elements made me reflect on life, civilization, and personhood in a way nothing else has. It was a peaceful, tranquil experience of just me, a serene soundtrack, and thought provoking text and puzzles.
I had a warranty replacement recently, but it wasn’t through preferred care so that process may be different! My timeline was
So all in all, it took 2 (business) days to first hear from Google, day and a half of processing, day and a half of shipping.
I got a Supernote A5X to read papers - I’m very happy with it and wouldn’t want a tablet. I specifically wanted a dumb device dedicated to notes/reading that I wouldn’t connect to the internet, which really helps me focus. The eink display is easy to read and is a great break from screens, it feels natural to write on.
However it’s not perfect - eink has a small lag in turning pages, so if you intend on flipping through a ton of pages while coding that may be a pain. The searching experience also isn’t great, typing takes longer because of the lag. I use it as an advanced notebook rather than a smart device, and I love it from that lens.
