Big news, looking forwards to having a device with real VRR, it’s a massive game changer, both in the figurative and literal sense.

it is possible to use that worst case scenario, but that would be via double tap on button, and I have 8 accounts I need to monitor so that is still quite unergonomic

I do occasionally use the one-handed stuff but unfortunately my RSI means I have poor hand-eye coordination in general which means it’s also just really hard to use it like that anyways.

I’ll go ahead and leave some feedback. I didn’t know they were planning on reworking again.

I can no longer switch users since my hands can’t reach that far and I no longer have the dexterity to play phone balancing due to my RSI. I have a LG G7 thinq with lineage, I have the button that was used for AI assistance set to click the top left corner since that’s fairly ubiquitous.

That opens the right side tray. I can reach all of the stuff with one hand like this. I can no longer do this with the thunder bird UI.

in any case, if its updating the old app to the new one that is still massively annoying. the new UI is nearly unusable for me since I usually use apps with one hand.

that’s annoying, I hate the new client, thanks for the heads up

webkit and blink are two massively different beasts, webkit and blink is just an engine in the end, the stuff on top matters too. If it was as simple as engines, it would be like comparing gnome web to chromium.

why? what does country of origin have to do with it in general?

Chrome and firefox on android use their own image decoders.

I don’t think it would be that bad. Users have proven willing to eat whatever trash chrome shoves down their throat. Firefox has also proven that they don’t really do a great job at preventing chrome from controlling the web market as shown with JXL. They completely dropped the ball here and only recently after safari has proven to successfully adopt it, choosen to follow suite.

Apple has turned out to “prevent the chrome monopoly” far more effectively then firefox has.

Personally I hope firefox dies as fast as possible so we see some focus on good alternatives.

Gecko is not a good platform, there is a reason why people who use geckoview eventually all migrate away from it, the most recent example I can think of is wolvic, which hasn’t replaced geckoview yet, but does have the version 1.0 of a chromium release now.

The sooner we get real alternatives to chromium and stop pretending that gecko is one the better. Currently servo is progressing really fast, has good APIs and usability for both a full desktop browser and embedded usecases (but still very immature).

I have a 12vdc direct power USBC charger for my tablet. This will totally fry any normal USBC device it touches.

Nine times out of ten, running chown on Android is an astronomically bad idea. 10 times of 10, what you’re trying to do right now, is an astronomically bad idea.

What is it you are trying to do? Or rather, why?

The best YouTube TV app for desktops is YouTube TV.

Look up PS4 Pro Leanback UserAgent and I recommend using that with Chrome because Firefox has a little bit of bugs. If you use it as a web app it works pretty well. The one caveat is you cannot exit out of it without enabling a developer flying in Chrome, without that flag you need to use alt + f4.

You want to use a web app or kiosk mode, specifically because resolution that you get in video is determined by the window size at startup, so if you have a 4K display, it needs to be full screen at start or else you will not get 4K video. Playback, you’ll only get 1440p.

Otherwise, just full screen it, then refresh.

I personally have found that the kodi plugin is quite frankly not very good.

Cromite. It’s easily the fastest browser i’ve used. Good baked in adblock is all I really need, and the increased performance and compatibility vs firefox is nice.

how much of that is due to people actually being able to actually buy a s24, or because that just what happens to be their phone carrier’s option? when selling phone it’s extremely important distinction, most people can get their phones “significantly cheaper” so to speak, via their carrier.

As an ex cellphone salesman I have never seen any carriers here in canada selling phones in like, pretty much the last decade almost now. Canadian here. Rodgers, Bell, Koodo, Fido, off the top of my head, none sell sony phones.

Now I did often try to sell cellphones to folk out right since IMO it’s far better to own the device and pay for a cheap plan, but to do that, phones need to actually be affordable.

Why People Arent Buying Sony Xperia Phones

because they are fucking expensive

Well, tracker2.postman.i2p just told me upon loading it that it’s under heavy load. In the past few days it seems to have a steady 1-2 dozen new torrents a day. The site has statistics but seemingly only for the past day, however this is roughly what I expected, or maybe less.

Im talking more about the total amount of users/swarm size. it didn’t have much list I checked, aside from a couple really popular torrents hitting around maybe 2-3k peers.

I mean piracy activity wise, it seems fairly head. maybe im just remembering differently since pirating was a bit less popular, but it feels like it was more healthy in the past.

is i2p even worth it anymore? I checked a while back and it seemed pretty dead. not too many people at all
