ijeff,

Ah, the good old days of giving Samsung devices a second change at life! I really dislike how north American models have locked bootloader these days.

Google Play services discontinuing updates for KitKat (API levels 19 & 20) starting August 2023 (android-developers.googleblog.com)

The Android KitKat (KK) platform was first released ~10 years ago and since then, we’ve introduced many innovative improvements and features for Android, which are unavailable on KK. As of July 2023, the active device count on KK is below 1% as more and more users update to the latest Android versions. Therefore, we are no...

ijeff,

Interesting. Do you have it mounted permanently in the car?

ijeff,

Nice! That’s a good idea. I should consider mounting my old Note 8 to my MTB handlebars.

ijeff,

Sweet. Is it on a stand?

ijeff,

Keep an eye on that battery if you’re not using it. Thankfully it’s removable!

ijeff,

Very, very cold wallets 🥶.

ijeff,

Thank you for this!

ijeff,

That’s a good instinct considering the context. Folks would most likely receive it that way IRL.

ijeff,

I want the ability to sideload addons (not just collections) and adjust theming (e.g., for true black mode) on Android. Major omissions IMO.

Im very excited for Lemmy. It seems a bit rough around the edges, but I'm very hopeful for it. That being said...

Please stop talking about reddit. If you want this to be the next reddit, I beg of you to stop mentioning it. Otherwise all this placewill be is a temporary hold over until we all just fall back on what we know cause we keep hammering in the name into our brain over and over again. I think the same sort of thing happened with...

I wouldn’t be too concerned about the references to Reddit. It’s precisely that upset toward what we’re seeing happen to Reddit that is driving even greater usage of Lemmy. The same thing happened with Digg, which contrary to some of our collective memory did not take place all at once. Many moved over to Reddit in 2007 following the HD DVD encryption code scandal, with many still using Digg to some degree. Sentiment toward Digg continued to decline and Reddit traffic continued to climb until the final mass wave in 2010 with the arrival of Digg v4 that shifted emphasis away from user generated content toward heavier curation - this sealed Digg’s fate with folks deciding to switch for good.

I think it’s a good thing that Lemmy users continue to view themselves as displaced Redditors. You don’t want that energy to fizzle out. It’s what’s driving people to volunteer more of their time and effort into community building.

ijeff,

I can confirm we are seeing very similar levels of engagement on !android as on /r/android despite significantly smaller subscriber numbers.

Lemmy really does scratch the itch for me. It’s refreshing, even if mod tools aren’t there yet.

ijeff,

Sure, go ahead! I can clean up the other ones after you do. Something I’ve noticed for Lemmy is that a brief intro at the start can help to keep the markdown text out of the main page description box.
