Any that work for youtube?

Does anyone know how I can change the power profile on TLP from “balanced” to “low-power” so that it will survive reboot?

For example, if I type out a sentence and decide I want to add asterisks around a word for emphasis, why does Gboard replace the space between the previous word and the emphasized word instead of just adding the new character? Is this added functionality for something I just don’t understand?...

We had a thread about OpenAI Staff Threaten to Quit Unless Board Resigns, but I thought I might as well add it again. Especially because of this part:...

I used to be able to download the available pages from books on Google Books with pysheng(3) and/or getxbook, but neither of them seem to work any more. On Firefox I can go into “More Information>Media Info” and download page images one by one, but this is slow and cumbersome. Any recommendations for a replacement?

So my roommate has informed me that Android and Motorola donate to Republicans more than Democrats whereas Apple does not, claiming this as a reason that the iPhone is better than an Android phone. While I could find statistics confirming the fact about Motorola, I don’t even know what they were referring to when they...

I’m downloading Signal from the website, even tho they don’t seem to want you to, because I’d like to be able to completely rid myself of the Google Play Store (as used with Aurora which has its own problems from time to time), and I believe that this version auto-updates or at least tells you when there is one. Following...

I’m trying to move away from Google and other big tech corporations as much as I can without sacrificing practicality but it seems like the only way to make contactless payments is with stock android on a Google approved device....

Is the Lemmy folks able to get the Apollo dev to create a Lemmy iOS app?

Now, I am hoping I am not the only one in this community who has realized that privacy should be one of the top considerations when choosing what software to use on any device....

Does anyone have any recommended bookmarklets that make using Fediverse services easier? I don’t really want to install a billion plugins for chrome to make them useable, so bookmarklets in a folder is preferable to me. If anyone has any ones they use that would be helpful....

With all these new options springing up, I'm a little outdated. What's the best app to use right now?

Sensationalist title yes, but this is something that is partially true....

There are lots of articles about bad use cases of ChatGPT that Google already provided for decades....

So Jerboa broke on my phone just now and I didn’t want to stop browsing Lemmy. Unfortunately no suitable alternative was found so I just decided to check if I could open it in my browser and install it....

I don’t really like Windows but it’s for my gaming PC. My laptop does run linux. I don’t know much of anything about 11 and whether it’s better or not.

I’ve been a long time Redditor and an Apollo user for about a year. I even paid for it. The main draw for me was the lack of advertising. In the back of my head I kept thinking that it couldn’t last. Reddit is losing revenue from the lack of advertising views. It didn’t...

So Elon gutted Twitter, and people jumped ship to Mastodon. Now spez did… you know… and we’re on Lemmy and Kbin. Can we have a YouTube to PeerTube exodus next? With the whole ad-pocalypse over there, seems like Google is itching for it.

I’d like to take my RSS feeds from an aggregator of news to a curated selection of interesting things. Interesting newsletters and blogs are where I think RSS shines, but I struggle to find this content....

Hi everyone! Can you suggest an RSS feed reader with a BBS-like interface (terminal-like)? I’m looking for something similar to the NeoModem project (which is lovely and you can find HERE)....

Most people access the Fediverse through one of the large instances: lemmy.world, kbin, or beehaw. New or small instances of Lemmy have no content by default, and can most easily get content by linking to larger Lemmy instances. This is done manually one “Community” at a time (I spent 15 minutes doing this yesterday)....
