mnglw,

Still awaiting the day that hoyomix will be recognized for their work

mnglw,

thank you, I’m glad you went with the short answer, leaving absolutely no room for doubt or discussion

this is good, I’m tired of the endless discussions full of goalposts being moved

mnglw,

I think people should know those are just mutes

its like that on mastodon too, user domain blocks won’t actually protect you from harassment or your data being vacuumed

mnglw,

that is not true, at least in mastodon’s case. Mastodon has unlisted, followers only and direct messages those are visible for the instance admins if your account federates to them. That is concerning. I don’t need Zuck to suck up my private posts

mnglw,

he is selling his app suite to a comany known to ruin apps with trackers and ads, making the simple mobile tools suite no longer simple, but just another app in the ocean of crap. Also he likely violated liscences doing so

he could have at least sold to a better company, and considered the wishes of his fellow contributers as he have should according to his liscence

mnglw,

omg quickpic

a blast from the past that I forgot about

mnglw,

fuck

mnglw,

all of these arguments are great and all but as an enduser: I just want things to work

I don’t care about the why’s or hows. A lot of these arguments explain and justify breakage

I am an enduser. I expect things to work, specifically I expect the programs I already use to continue working. I expect to lose no functionality

If they don’t work, then clearly its broken. If I lose functionality, Wayland clearly wasn’t ready

mnglw,

for the end user, that is irrelevant

mnglw,

I’m not a she but otherwise yes I agree

Feedback on CalyxOS

UPDATEThank you for your feedback! Based on what you all provided, I’m going to postpone installing any de-Googled Android OS for the time. It seems there’s still a lot that needs to be worked on in terms of device and application support, and I don’t have the time to work out the kinks and issues that might show up here...

mnglw,

I’m looking to buy a new phone soon, can you use GrapheneOS without a google account? because playservices is generally account locked right?

mnglw,

so in other words you need the sandbox if you want access to what microg would normally provide for you, with the caveat that an account is “optional” for things that “require” one, which in a normal google environment is almost everything and with mirog is pretty much nothing

sounds like microg is the better deal then, if I want to avoid google accounts and Google’s snooping

mnglw,

this is useful and good to know, thank you

will help me decide what to go for

mnglw,

the whole “cats are assholes” thing comes mostly from people viewing cats through a dog lens, expecting them to act like dogs, then being shocked they don’t thus they most be aloof and/or assholes

I’m so tired of it. I wish people learnt to communicate with cats in cat!

mnglw,

I use a trackball mouse for disability reasons. I have to actively slow my cursor movement to a crawl and deliberately slowly click each square otherwise I fail captcha’s

it’s infuriating

Firefox Got Faster for Real Users in 2023 (hacks.mozilla.org)

In order to measure the user experience, Firefox collects a wide range of anonymized timing metrics related to page load, responsiveness, startup and other aspects of browser performance. Collecting data while holding ourselves to the highest standards of privacy can be challenging. For example, because we rely on aggregated...

mnglw, (edited )

people keep saying you can do the same thing in ublock as in umatrix but the UI is completely different and not nearly as intuitive and I don’t nearly have as granular control as I had in umatrix

mnglw,

are you a mod? No? then don’t backseat moderate. Just block the user if you’re so bothered about the content being here

mnglw,

oh ouch! sounds like someone’s toes got stepped on a little, sorry you are butthurt, guess I’ll roll for damage

Again, just block/mute the user and move on with your 100% funny silly memes nothing else actually meaningful life

FOSS android calendar with weekly widget

Hello! I’m looking for a calendar app for my android device to display the current week of the calendar, with all events and tasks at the right hour. I’d use it for my university schedule. I found on F-droid some apps like this and this, but none of them provided a homescreen widget. Any suggestion is greatly appreciated!...

mnglw,

I use simple calendar pro (which is free on fdroid) and it just has a full calendar view as a widget. with one column per weekday and one row per week. The widget is called calendar monthly

edit: ah heck I seem to have misread, sorry! Leaving it up in case anyone else finds it useful

mnglw,

there are youtube frontends and apps that proxy videos anonymously so you can’t be tracked at all

I use freetube on desktop there’s also libretube and newpipe on android

mnglw,

a big collection of art courses that I downloaded before it got dmca’d off the internet. Nowadays as I understand it, the collection is around but usually distributed in pieces on request if someone happens to have it. Many courses got lost (or are only on cgpeers which I do not have access to so idk)

mnglw,

what search engines are actually good these days?

because that’s the problem, they aren’t

search results have gone down a sharp hill lately

I don’t think Kagi is the answer, but there is a problem - a big one

mnglw,

similar to genshin: Honkai

the music specifically in the animated shorts is so good

mnglw,

hey I know this is offtopic but have you migrated your mojang account to a Microsoft account? if you didn’t yet, please do so now otherwise your account will be deleted soon, like very very soon, September 19th kind of soon

I know, it sucks, we all hate it but since you mentioned 10 years ago I figured I’d give you and anyone else reading this a reminder

mnglw,

Same omg

Im currently in a lot of pain and discomfort and its fkcing w my brain a lot

I can barely form sentences

mnglw,

Nobody’s requiring it until devs start not supporting X11 anymore and start saying things like “won’t fix, use Wayland”. Which is already happening

See: GNOME’s response to a critical GTK4 bug on x11 that makes any program using GTK4 unusable on certain devices under x11

mnglw,

I would switch if it worked at all I just get a black screen if I try a Wayland session lmao. If switching is such a hassle then I’ll just stick with what works.

That’s not to even mention all the things I use that aren’t supported

mnglw,

certain hardware configurations. I have two computers on linux. One of them has issues with GTK4, the other one doesn’t. The only difference between these machines is hardware.

And yeah, I agree that’s premature for them to do

mnglw,

if I knew what exactly was causing it hardware wise I would have a way to fix it, and I don’t

given GNOME’s solution is “use Wayland” (which I can’t for a variety of reasons) I don’t think I can ever figure out what the problem is. Their attitude from the start is already non helpful.

all I know is my hardware isn’t niche nor really really old. And Im not the only one experiencing this

mnglw,

I imagine you’re not going to like this answer but since the genre doesn’t matter: Genshin Impact

mnglw,

ebikes are amazing. I’m disabled and they help me so much in being able to go places!

mnglw,

people don’t like to acknowledge it, but what happens in the state has a knock on effect here in the EU. It empowers our rightwing fucks to steal the same tactics that worked in the US and start them here

That means we’ll always be behind as those tactics need time to simmer but the news already helps by reporting on what happens over there, reactionaries take that and run with it. They tried that in my country recently with the drag stuff, thankfully their protest failed

yall over there don’t exist in a vacuum, sadly

edit: also don’t forget there’s already a nice breeding ground over here. The nazis were European after all

mnglw,

Not gen z, millenial who loves labels

my identity was stolen from my by abusers. I was who they wanted me to be and nothing else. I knew I was different from my peers, I could tell just as much as they could, and they did not let me forget for even a split second. I was never given the language or space to explore and figure out what was so different about me (turns out it was that I am autistic and trans and a bunch of other things, go figure)

Not knowing was agonizing. Seeing notcable differences. Between yourself and your peers yet not understanding why or what or how left me so isolated. Labels can bring understanding, peace of mind, self acceptance and community

Now I label and microlabel everything and I will not stop

other than that, labels can open doors: In this society you wont get your needs acknowledged unless you have a particular label. Should that be different? Yes! Does that make labels obsolete? no IMO

That said you dont have to understand, just, please as a fellow millenial, don't do the unhelpful, unproductive and frankly dismissve "stop labeling yourself, labels belong on products not people". That's someone's understanding of themselves you are dismissing by doing that
