not called Brad but rather a lad, from Bradford in the UK.

Enjoys breaking apps, escooters, spam rings and sometimes bones, drones, but not my own. Because that sucks.

  • 1 million air traffic controllers

    I'm sorry but if you're going to exaggerate numbers you should cite the exact amount there are.

    Fools only believe in made up numbers.

  • The scourge of subscriptions

  • Yeah I checked it out and it seems nice with all the other info not available in FlowX such as sunrise/sunset times etc in a Material theme. But I like FlowX simply for its information density and accuracy, latter being my most favourite thing since I can switch between high res models and predict myself if I need freezer pantie time/weather proofs.

  • 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?

  • I kinda disagree on the weather app subscription model.

    The API usage cost devs a fair whack depending on the sources they scrape from and while I've never used Today Weather, I have used FlowX (formerly WeatherBomb) for ages and the free version has no crap / ads/ nag pages with basic radar models available, but I decided to subscribe since it (besides supporting the dev) gives me high resolution radars for longer time-spans. And since I'm an outdoor worker too I thought it best to be on top of the weather.

    But overall I do agree some of the forced "subscribe or ads" model can die in a fire.

    Has anyone tried Riseup VPN?

    Jump

  • 2 week old account blathering as per usual in the OP

    I’m able to torrent on it without issue

    Proceeds to comment that it doesn't have port forwarding

    No, unfortunately (at least to the best of my knowledge.)

    OP doesn't even realise that I and others use torrents from public trackers and don't need me no third party VPN because I use my domestic ISP w/ external IP address and, throughly ignored the two emails they sent me saying I was "bad" downloading Animal Kingdom in around 2016? I should print them out and use them as shit roll.

    Fucking noobies trying to shill some bait if you ask me.

  • Over half of us in r/Android left and while a few of headed over here and made our very own instance, some stopped on and, I paraphrase

    I'm not seeing some shitheel coming and doing spezs deeds, and I'll just mass approve/remove shite

    Brave fucker that mod.

    having a donate page to a thread ore a server with piracy is not a good idea.

    Jump

  • I don't need to do nothing because as I said, there's no copyrightable content hosted here.

    Now go over to /r/piracy on reddit and ask them why they're not taken down. We'll be waiting.

  • You do understand that hosting copyrighted works, and linking to them are two entirely different things?

  • You are welcome to modify the title to make it more accurate and less exonerative if you' like.

    I'm for one quite impressed that you stood your ground here and went with the non-editorialized title.

    We've had it for years in /r/Android and has worked very well. +1 u

  • Cars don't belong in city centres.

    There's a fair bit of controversy about this here in my locale, insomuch the comment sections (don't breathe these) are lighting up about an old jorno complaining about pedestrian areas

    https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/24928732.former-t-journalist-mike-priestley-critical-new-look-bradford/

    Again, pro-tip, don't visit the comment section on that rag but it pisses me off that I can't even insure/use my escoot still riding into those "pedestrian" areas without threat of 6 points / fine / confiscation. Fucking utter bollocks

    edit: man, the censorship on that Newsquest (quest muh arse) article/comments is currently at 12 out of 51 visible unless you visit via /new. Pepperidge farm remembers that Reddit does this for mods viewing modqueues too

  • OnePlus 13 'Mini' reportedly pairs two 50MP cameras with 6.31-inch display

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Google Messages preps deleting sent RCS messages 'for everyone'

    Jump

  • 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 :/

  • Where do you find wallpapers for your phone?

    Jump

  • 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.

  • I was just fucking around generating images with Gemini right now, and this reminded me of what you probably need in regards to a mod 🙈

    The hell is the problem with generating these things to some peeps? Stealing from, artists?

  • Exciting Software Releases

    Jump

  • 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!

  • Is a Seedbox right for me?

    Jump

  • I started with a small APC UPS which most protect drives/devices from anything from a brownout to full power cut for you to power down those devices.

    I protect my NAS / router / modem which the former has a USB port that can connect to the UPS via a data port and allows it to monitor the battery level and, if it sees it getting to a X low power level emails me and then shuts it down gracefully. Awesome thingys and there's other ways of monitoring them
