Lawnchair has done the trick since I switched from Nova

Zangoose , (edited )

I’ve been eyeing lawnchair to replace my nova setup for a while but neither aurora/play-store nor F-droid have the newest release, is there a repo/manager to download from that doesn’t involve manually going to the GitHub and installing it? Edit: lawnchair is one word

Engywuck ,

Check out Obtanium

If LibreTube is not working for you (the reader, not OP), enable HLS here:
3 dots > Settings > Audio and video > Use HLS

That’s what I remember doing when I set it up, is this due to differences in CDNs across continents?

Anybody know if some of these platforms support streaming? I’ve been meaning to try out kick.com as well as a Twitch alternative but it’s still a business with proprietary solution.

Phegan ,

Peertube and owncast are Fediverse alternatives to twitch. Peertube less so. I run an owncast server and love streaming to it, but discovery is shit. If you just want to stream, it’s great. If you want to make it a job, stick to twitch

person420 ,

Switching from Twitch to Kick is like leaving Twitter for Truth Social. Kick was started by people who were kicked off Twitch for gambling and other banned content. And I don’t just mean poker, I’m talking about those skin gambling sites where streamers were found “promoting” but really owned and were rigging their bets to make it look like you can win big.

Plus Kick’s backend uses the same Amazon services that Twitch does, so if your point is not to support Twitch and their parent company Amazon, Kick definitely isn’t the right choice.

FiniteBanjo ,

Dang.

Is there any eli5 guides to things like f-Droid or the other platforms(?) (it used to be called ‘rooting’, don’t know what it is now) to be able to install LibreTube? Following the faq link from github, I see 3 download options, one I recognize as f-Droid, and 2 others.

I realize this should be “android 101”, but my ability to problem solve stuff like this is slipping away from me. (protect your brain, kids!).

Most F-Droid stuff AFAIK should be pretty plug and play. It’ll download an APK which you then just open in order to install the app. You may need a file browser app if your phone OS doesn’t come with one. You may also need to allow installs from third party somewhere in the settings. But android isn’t like iOS and won’t generally restrict your ability to install whatever you want, outside of an options popup to make sure you know what you’re doing.

I don’t use LibreTube personally and can’t speak on that specifically though, if it does something other than just download you an APK file.

I read the article and I still don’t really understand what this is.

It’s Google Assistant, but worse with confessed mistakes.

Zerfallen ,

I didn’t think it was possible to make Google Assistant worse at this point tbh… but I’m sure Google can prove me wrong.

atrielienz ,

When you ask assistant to set a timer it may hang up. Most of the time that works (for me). Gemini can’t do that or couldn’t do that about a month ago when I was seeing articles about it. There’s key functionality of assistant that Gemini is just bad at. Ask it to launch an app for you? It will bring up a search of app launchers. It will not launch Gmail.

Was offered Gemini for the first time this morning after saying Hey Google. Turned it down, as not sure if I can try it but then still go back when Gemini turns out to be crap.

EDIT - answering my own question…

support.google.com/gemini/answer/14554984?sjid=80…


Switch back to Google Assistant

You can switch back to using Google Assistant as your primary assistant on your phone in your settings. To do this:

Open your Gemini mobile app.

At the top right, tap your Profile picture or initial and then Settings and then Digital assistants from Google.

Tap Google Assistant.

Bear in mind, if you’re switching back to Google Assistant as your primary assistant:

When you say, ‘Hey Google’, or activate your mobile assistant by touch (like when you press and hold the power button), Google Assistant will respond.

If your Web & App Activity is turned on, data from your interactions with Google Assistant will be saved to your Google Account. Learn more about how Google Assistant works with your data.

Data saved in your Gemini Apps activity will not automatically be deleted, but you can review and delete it at any time.

Yet another useless app. Its only 2MB and not much more than a shortcut to the Google App.

any app that can also show recommended videos?

drwankingstein , in best foss replacement for microsoft launcher?

honestly, none really fit that bill IMO

Strayce , in best foss replacement for microsoft launcher?

I switched from Nova to Kvaesitso when I found out they were owned by a spyware corp. It takes a little getting used to as it does most things differently, but it’s actually good once you get past that.

Cheskaz ,

I did the exact same!

Hellmo_Luciferrari ,

I still use Nova, however, I use AFWall+ to deny internet access to it. As well, as give it as little permissions as necessary.

Yupp, But my device’s bootloader cannot be unlocked so I cannot upgrade unofficially.

draughtcyclist , in Are there any open source keyboard with handwriting support?

I haven’t seen anything that meets your requirements.

Is there a chance that you could find an open source keyboard and a translation layer, like a software or an input card? I know it’s not ideal, but worth investigating.
