  • What are your top android apps?

    Jump

  • Thank you. I did come across it, back when I was looking at alternatives. Though I don’t remember why I didn’t try it out.

    How is your experience with the keyboard? How does it compare with the alternatives?

  • What are your top android apps?

    Jump

  • It is the only decent AOSP-like keyboard I could find.

    I am just not comfortable using a proprietary keyboard when I know that I have other options. On iOS, I do not have an option, at all!

    Having said that, I do miss the better swipe gestures and autocorrect ability of the proprietary ones from time to time.

  • What are your top android apps?

    Jump

  • I use Android as my secondary phone, my primary is an iPhone. Though for the past six months, my use of Android has surpassed iOS as the latter is now only for calls, messages and reading emails. For replying to emails, I use a computer.

    I have removed as many Google apps as I could using Canta, as long as the phone is able to boot and function.

    The apps, in no particular order (read: the order in which I can recollect):

    I finally found a chance to use tables on Lemmy.

  • I haven’t used Windows for more than a decade, and I am genuinely surprised reading your post that the game works in this manner even if with proton/wine layer.

    I can’t help but think that this is an exception, and would attribute this behaviour to how the game is made. I wonder what other software function this way.

  • Running NetBSD on IBM ThinkPad 380Z

    Jump

  • Pentium II and 160MB RAM are plentiful, and it is no surprise that NetBSD is a breeze to use on it.

    I got NetBSD running on a ThinkPad 760XD (Pentium MMX, 32MB RAM) which I revived around last summer, and it works just fine. Though running emacs on it is not a smooth experience with my configuration loaded, but it runs well vanilla. With enough tweaking, it can be a capable writing machine, especially with its flip-up keyboard.

    The blog post is really good and insightful. I have never considered connecting aforementioned machine to the internet, but I think I might do it after reading this post just to try out Dillo.

  • Malaria cases in India drop by 93%, deaths fall by 68%: WHO report

    Jump

  • Thanks for the clarification.

    Racist stereotypes aside, I have filtered out most US news from my feeds, so I was not aware of who this Robert character is.

  • Wells' next trick? Thyroid cancer!

    Jump

  • It has been a few years, so I will do my best to recollect. Also, I appreciate the work Kyle Hill does and his decision to start a new channel for whatever reasons he deemed necessary. However, I did not like the videos from the new channel, and it could very well be that his style and content has changed over the years.

    I remember making an honest attempt with his first few videos on the new channel. I remember not liking the new style of presentation: the setting of a spaceship with a sentient(?) computer program and their banter. It was uninteresting and unnecessary, and the attempts at humour felt flat.

    The only reason I watched the videos till the end was for the subject matter. Everything else in his videos became a distraction, unlike his videos from the previous channel as well as his contemporaries where such elements added to the infotainment.

    Eventually, I stopped clicking on his videos altogether.

  • Wells' next trick? Thyroid cancer!

    Jump

  • He is a science/educational YouTuber.

    He previously ran a channel called “Because Science” where he attempted to rationalise fictional phenomena using real world science.

    I stopped watching his videos when he started his current channel for better autonomy.

  • Wells' next trick? Thyroid cancer!

    Jump

  • I misread it as “Well’s last trick”, and it made more sense.

  • What are the problems with Ubuntu?

    Jump

  • Most of the criticism I have seen online stems from how Canonical (the company behind Ubuntu) plays fast and loose with the FLOSS ethos. The earliest controversy I can recall was the inclusion of the ‘Amazon shopping lens’ in its Unity desktop environment. There may have been earlier issues, but this one made mainstream headlines in the early 2010s. More recently, the push for Snap (its application bundle format), which relies on proprietary server-side components, which invited criticism.

    That said, I still find the OS ideal for most users. It has been (and still is) a gateway OS for many Windows and macOS refugees, thanks to its strong community. It was for me nearly two decades ago, and I prefer to remember Ubuntu for the good it has done for the community.

  • The Verge raises a partial paywall: ‘It’s a tragedy that garbage is free and news is behind paywalls’

    Jump

  • There was one here yesterday written so poorly I feel less informed for having read it. I would like the option to take my money back for reading such a bad article.

    That’s hilarious.

    Can you share the post?

  • Technology Connections' thoughts on Mastodon

    Jump

  • With so many opportunities presented to it, Mastodon still hasn’t found its footing with the mainstream audience.

    I think its users should accept the platform will remain a niche for the foreseeable future.

  • Technology Connections' thoughts on Mastodon

    Jump

  • Thanks. This works. I fully agree with comments made. I still have not found Mastodon intuitive to use daily as I find Lemmy.

  • Are there any actual free programs that clean up all bloat ware on a new laptop? Without them putting hidden stuff in?

    Jump

  • @Nougat@fedia.io is not even the culprit here. They are merely pointing out that the nondescript links (at least to the uninitiated) in most comments point to Linux.

  • The comments here are really reinforcing the stereotypes about Lemmy.

  • Extending your rule: Never trust a service whose “Pricing” page is hidden.

    Earlier today, I encountered a website[0] that does exactly this.
