Hello there.

I’m busy with my academics now, so I may not post or comment. I’ll still be keeping an eye on my communities though.

I hate these types of ads too, and they’re so common.

Also there are some ads which make the normal 5sec skippable video ads more like 30sec skippable ads. They’re usually game ads, where they show you a skippable ad after 5 seconds, then they make you play a mini-game of sorts for 10+ seconds and then it shows you a splash screen with the name of the game which you’re only able to skip after 5 seconds. Wastes so much time.

Always a good idea to back up your data before a major update on any device (be it a computer or a phone), and ideally frequently.

First iPhone screenshot on the internet with above 5% charge

32GB!? These things have a lot of storage now.

Overpopulation.

Lemmy is far, FAR from a representation of the general public.

Piracy as a quality of service issue

I am one of those suckers (:sigh) who paid for Youtube since it bundled Youtube Music with it. However, today I used the latter’s Revanced version and it was so much customizable. Right from removing menu items to the stupid cast button Google has forced on us; it seems a billion dollar company can’t compete with these folks...

GamerBoy705 ,

I also can’t stand the official YouTube client, not necessarily because it’s so bad, but because ReVanced simply has so much more QoL features that I can’t live without now.

GamerBoy705 ,

ReVanced also has the ability to remove the current BS YouTube video quality selector and restore the old resolution selector.

I’ve known about NewPipe for a long time but I’ve never really wanted to use it because of the vast amount of missing features. It might be alright for people who don’t use YouTube very often or want to preserve their privacy at all costs but I can’t use it.

  1. This is not mildly infuriating. This is extremely infuriating. India has been making education more of a business than a social right for some time now and that has claimed many lives.
  2. Maybe provide a source from media organisations that are not this dramatic, actually provides context and in a language 99% of people here can understand…
  3. Don’t fucking use the clickbait YouTube title. Maybe type an actually relevant title!?

Bro got exposed by Google

That’s late for a company that only has two phones, but I guess it’s a small company.

GamerBoy705 ,

Many apps and launchers call it a ‘dock’

GamerBoy705 ,

This might be too specific and may not suit your needs, but I used ArchiveWeb.Page to download entire webpages without any of them breaking. You can record webpages and save them as a .warc file. You can open the .warc file using the ReplayWeb.Page app. Both apps are open source and are meant to be website archivers but also works great for this purpose.

I tried using extensions that can save a webpage as HTML/PDF/whatever, but that often didn’t save everything in the webpage and the downloaded copy is pretty much fully broken and useless.

GamerBoy705 ,

If you want a “random” community button, Sync for Lemmy already has it

GamerBoy705 ,

Yes

Not all apps respect this and still use its own special in-app browser

GamerBoy705 ,

Rocket League Sideswipe is a pretty fun adaptation of regular Rocket League, and it has zero ads or zero in app purchases. It’s had no new content for literally months though but still, the core gameplay will still be very fun for a new player.

GamerBoy705 ,

I’m not sure about the downloading part but Playnite with extensions does an amazing job of organisation.

GamerBoy705 ,

Intelligent programming that makes the user’s experience worse

GamerBoy705 ,

Holy shit

GamerBoy705 ,

Can someone comment on what uses there are for a “smart ring”?

GamerBoy705 ,

I use Squircle CE. It’s not really just a simple text editor, but it’s not complicated either. It should open pretty much any type of text document you throw at it.

GamerBoy705 ,

The Xperia XZ1 Compact as another person suggested seems like a great fit. But I’d also like to throw in the Pixel 2 as an option. They are actually the only actually capable devices I could find. If I have to guess, the Pixel would be much more widely available than the Xperia. The Pixel probably also has better custom ROM support.

GamerBoy705 ,

This is not mildly infuriating, this is extremely infuriating

GamerBoy705 ,

Yes indeed, it seems like a silent promotion to build hype, but it’s more awkward than anything else.

GamerBoy705 ,

Custom ROMs for phones with Dimensity processors (or really phones with anything other than Snapdragon processors) are almost non-existent

GamerBoy705 ,

Nougat had the best easter egg imo

GamerBoy705 ,

You can use LADB, but it is not free unless you compile the app yourself.

You can use Bugjaeger instead, which can achieve the same thing (just a bit trickier to use). It is free on the Play Store but has ads. You can use an ad blocker in the background though, it’s not a big problem.

GamerBoy705 ,

If you just want to uninstall system apps, you do NOT need to root your phone. You can use ADB to uninstall or disable any system apps (regardless of if your phone allows that in settings).

GamerBoy705 ,

It honestly depends on the manufacturer. Samsung’s One UI for example doesn’t re-install uninstalled system apps. I’d guess MIUI does the same. I don’t think every update would come with an updated version of every system app that would automatically get installed.

GamerBoy705 OP ,

That was an amazing video! Enjoyed every second of it. I wish you the best of luck with your channel! I can also relate, a couple years ago I also tried to make videos. I got about 7000 views in a year with around 10 videos and ~25 subs. Then, the pandemic became out of fashion and I had to focus more on my academics, therefore I had to stop uploading and my channel lost all of it’s momentum now.

I’ve always tried to revive my channel, but I really just don’t know what to upload. I used to upload random crap earlier too.

GamerBoy705 OP ,

Well, the original post reads:

“On the Tennessee online practice test”

So it shouldn’t be a comma anyways.

GamerBoy705 OP ,

Maybe, but it’d be good if it didn’t alert my phone for no reason whatsoever

GamerBoy705 OP ,

Yeah, that’s even worse lol. Not even the slightest bit helpful

GamerBoy705 ,

You can also just download any GIF and convert it into WebP using an online converter like this. Then you can set that converted WebP as your profile picture.

GamerBoy705 ,

It’s not from a specific place. It was an old GIF I knew and I searched for it. You could search “[something] perfect loop gif” or similar in a search engine.

GamerBoy705 ,

Noo 😨😨

GamerBoy705 ,

Typing from a Samsung Galaxy A50 right now, as a long time Samsung user. I’ve always hated TouchWiz from the older days, but I really love One UI. I’d even go as far as to say that One UI is the best Android skin (controversial opinion, lol)!

The stupidity of YT ads these days (lemmy.ml)

I was watching a video on landscape mode on my phone on YouTube. And then when a wild midroll ad appears, the ad thinks it’s a good idea to play a ultrawide-screen video inside a TikTok style vertical phone window, and then puts that in a widescreen video. The whole thing also got smaller to display the CTA at the right....

GamerBoy705 ,

Well, I use ReVanced so I won’t have to pay a penny and still have all the features from the official app
