Wiggler , to ukcasual in What are you playing?

My 4 year old learned about Pokémon Go recently I started playing it again after about 4 year hiatus, haha I stopped playing about the time she was born 🤣

Demigod787 , to youshouldknow in YSK: There is a Lemmy instance dedicated to nature and science: mander.xyz

I can't find this instance on WefWef am I doing something wrong.

Uranium_Green ,

I don’t use wefwef.app, but I’m assuming the issue is to do with mander.xyz being an instance (like lemmy.world or sh.itjust.works).

The point being that any communities from mander.xyz will still show up if you search for them on wefwef.app

For example, I searched wefwef for the communities labeled mycology and it brought up the correct community from mander.xyz:

wefwef.app/search/…/[email protected]

Edit: in essence it search works for searching for a community, but not an instance as a whole; I couldn’t just search wefwef.app for mander.xyz and see all of its communities listed, but I can search for a community from it and it will come up

Just to test a theory: wefwef.app/posts/mander.xyz/local

This will show you the posts from mander.xyz as if you’re on that instance

Though I think these will leave not signed into your lemmy.world account, so I guess find the communities you like the look of and search it from your normal wefwef.app instance

Redex68 , to android in what the hell, 9 and a half gigs spent on system space?

It’s not only bloat. From what I remember I think it’s also swap space, probably also some space for caching and some other things. E.g. I have 42GB of system space out of 256 on my Galaxy S21, and it’s definitely not all bloat apps.

wildchandelure , to nostupidquestions in Reddit refugee, what are the Lemmy "jolly rancher" legends?

Atm the only one we have I’ve seen is the Mysterious 3 day poop challenge. I believe we have yet to hear from this guy.

RIP Apollo. Was truly a ride.

Currently using wefwef and Memmy to browse lemmy via mobile. Wefwef feels closest to Apollo but Memmy has a better interface.

Also subbed to Winston on Reddit, the dev is actively responding to suggestions and aiming to release an app as close as possible like Apollo for browsing reddit. Then of course there’s also Narwhal.

czarrie , to nostupidquestions in What was so special about the Apollo app?
@czarrie@lemmy.world avatar

I can’t speak for Apollo but I used RIF and old.Reddit

I work with a bunch of techies with various opinions on this; he said I like “an app that looks like it was from 10 years ago”, which was meant to be an insult, but I think is actually the point: it was text-first, list view, “get out of your way” to enjoy the content.

I don’t like advertising pretending to be content.

I don’t like the integrations that pushed paid crap like their version of Bitcoin.

And I am here because even though Reddit is still active, it’s clear that the ship is being sailed solely by momentum at this point and the company is, well, only going up be able to do so much until they can’t pay what little staff they have. The way the mods and app developers were treated this month was the lowest of the low and sealed my decision.

I urge everyone to support a community you like by posting interesting topics and commenting, and the rest will follow. Don’t just wait for people to do it.

PreciousDeclaration , to android in what the hell, 9 and a half gigs spent on system space?
@PreciousDeclaration@lemmy.world avatar

I have a Samsung a53 5G, and the system storage on my phone is 26.34 GB. I didn’t even realize until I just now looked that it was taking up that much space.

luffyuk , to ukcasual in Is it just me, or has Royal Mail gone downhill badly?

Just like everyone else right now, posties are overworked, underpaid and crippled by “targets”.

Transcendant OP ,

Initially I was going to lodge a complaint. I’m in two minds after a few days stewing on it, on the one hand I sympathise with anyone in the situation you describe. OTOH, they’re clearly not doing their job properly and potentially cost me £105. All they had to do was put it back in their trolley, and whatever process is required to lodge it back at the depot. Though perhaps management has made that process fiddly and they CBA.

luffyuk ,

Despite what I said, you should 100% make a claim. You’ve lost out. It may or may not be the postie’s fault, but you don’t deserve to be out of pocket.

Transcendant OP ,

I just got home, went round to ask if neighbour has it. He sent his son to the door who said his dad is in a ‘meeting’. I explained situation, he said he’d pass it on… he hasn’t come round so either has it and isn’t giving it back, or doesn’t have it.

ASOS actually emailed me today to check the situation, and offered me a replacement w/ express shipping or a full refund, which imo is excellent customer service considering it’s (mostly) not their fault. I appreciate that bigtime, sometimes it feels you have to really battle nowadays to get a resolution to something like this.

philipstorry , to sysadmin in TIL in 1997, a Reply All storm took down all of Microsoft's internal Exchange system

I think the thing to take away from this is the poor state of management/maintenance tools that Exchange had. Thankfully over the years this has improved, but in those early years it was pretty bad.

I was using both Exchange and Lotus Notes/Domino in that period. If the same thing had happened in Notes, we’d just shut down the mail router task, open the mail.box database and remove the offending message. Easy. But that can only be done because Notes re-used its database system for everything, including the mail queue.

Exchange has a history of reinventing the wheel even within its own architecture. Let’s just say I’mm very grateful that we’re now on Microsoft 365 and these things are Microsoft’s problem, not mine… 😉

Tetsuo666 , to linux in Switch to Linux phone?

Android runs on a unix kernel.

I personally think an open source android rom is a good middle ground between running a full linux OS and google’s Android.

I don’t know what roms are good right now though.

I would probably go for a fairphone and install the non google rom:

…fairphone.com/…/9979154556817-Google-free-Androi…

Or check if your current phone is supported by any open source Rom.

In any case you will most likely have a lot less apps since you would have only access to non google play services apps. There is a fairly decent choice of apps on F-Droid but your experience will remain limited.

cianmor OP ,

Thank you!

dontbreakit , to android in Navigation without mashing CPU?

Is the phone maybe overheating and throttling, due to being exposed to direct sunlight on the dash? Wireless charging can have the same effect

eleitl , to android in For the people coming in asking what app for Lemmy. You don't need it. Lemmy is great on a mobile browser.

Please do not assume to know every user’s needs.

corvan_danavis , to explainlikeimfive in Why are big platforms shutting down third-party Apps? Should an average user be worried?

Third-party apps are being shutdown for the simple reason of there is less profit in them existing. Most third-party apps block ads and paid promotions cutting into revenue of the platform. As platforms grow and there is more ad views to be had they’ll inevitably come for the third-party apps. Cherish the ones you still have.

winterstillness , to gaming in Is it me or are games really not fun anymore

It strongly depends on what kind of person you are and how you get your enjoyment out of things. If you understand this, then you can find games that fulfill that.

For example, some people get a dopamine hit when they see numbers go up. Be it level grinding, kill/death ratio, optimize builds. Others like the feeling of exploration. Others want immersion/role-play.

It has nothing to do with "today games bad". Part of that is childhood and nostalgia. You won't get that back.

Figure out what you enjoy. If you like social games and making friends, then you need to lean towards that style of game. RuneScape 2007 is still very much alive today.
