    Best android app suggestions?

    Jump

  • Without much context all I can suggest is PowerAmp for music player. It is a paid app.

    Eternity for Lemmy.

    Heliboard for a more private keyboard.

    Newpipe for YouTube.

  • From my experience, you have to use google services for the 2fa to work on Yubikey. You can work around this by using a TOTP and storing it on the key. There is a Yubikey app that can read the tokens that doesn't require google services. Another approach is make a separate profile that has a google account active on it and just keep those apps there to use the Yubikey on.

    Some banking apps require extra work in their settings permissions to get them to work. Try turning off some of the extra security measures for app in the app permissions settings. See if that can get them to work.

    Messaging is going to be broken unless both parties use an internet based messenger, like signal or iMessage. SMS is very restrictive. RCS may help fix this when it launched to iOS but it seems to break on graphene. Probably the same reason banking apps break.

  • You're stuck on a desert island for five years. You can have three video games. What three games do you take?

    Jump
    1. Fallout - Tale of two wastelands.....hopefully that counts as one game, if not then Skyrim. For the endless mods.
    2. Hades or Binding of Issac - for the infinite replayability.
    3. Minecraft - for the creative aspect of building and lots of content.

  • Need distro advice

    Jump

  • Haven't tried it myself yet but you can check out brazzite

    Gaming focused distro.

    Also pop os has been pretty good to me, but it is on the old side at the moment until they update everything near the last quarter of the year.

  • what's your favorite hydration drink? bonus points if it's a drink mix

    Jump

  • Straight chilled water.

    If I need extra hydration aka eletrolytes, I either put pure electrolytes in it or a flavored powder like Liquid IV.

  • How can I easily and conveniently transfer files wirelessly between my linux computer and android phone?

    Jump

  • Check out LocalSend. App that let you send things over local WiFi. No server required.

  • Do you prefer Gaming PCS or Gaming Laptops?

    Jump

  • Desktops. Don't have to worry about batteries and easier to swap out parts.

  • Why don’t you like Apple?

    Jump

  • Mostly their marketing practices. They are designed well but mostly designed to keep you locked in one way or another.

    For me, their desktop is not as intuitive as people make it seem and lacks simple shortcuts that most other desktops have.

    On mobile, its the restriction of customization and options. They are getting better at customizing but still limit you on options for anything outside of their apps. They claim to be private but follow similar practices as other companies, just in a more quite way with better PR.

  • When you get a call from a middle-aged male coworker who had tried to coerce you (younger female) into letting him drop you off at home on a Saturday night: do you call back, text, email, or ignore?

    Jump

  • Sounds like a tough situation to be in. Next option is to be clear and upfront that you want to keep the relationship professional. If that is still ignored, I say ignore the person. There isn't much you can do about the actions they decide to take. All you can do it control your own actions and explain your side of the situation if needed. Document anything that you may feel relative to proving your attempt to kept things professional. Best of luck.

  • Volaris website not working for others on linux?

    Jump

  • Yes, it seems to break on Linux. Only got it working by spoofing the browser on a chrome based one to think I'm on windows.

  • AI doesn't automatically equal not private. Its probably still has private as it was before.

    Now if it starts showing it knows things about you, then I'll be concerned.

  • Why are tech company's so interested in my boring ass data?

    Jump

  • Pretty much this. Nothing is really holding them back from collecting data so its easier for them to do this in bulk. They do buy data as well from information brokers. Bigger companies usually have wider reachers to collect more. They have pretty much free range when we agree to use their products, forced or otherwise.

    Jump

  • Pick up habits, profiling so they can know what you are interested in and the areas you frequent to target you more efficiently. More likely for directed advertising but can also be for influencing.

  • What is the most advanced chemistry you've done on your own at home or work?

  • Acid assisted microwave digestion

  • What are good wireless routers in April 2024? What criteria would you use to choose one? What about mesh routers?

    Jump

  • Running tp-link. So far no issues. Asus is good, tp-link gives you more features on the cheaper models than Asus like vlan if you want it.
