Oh dude I don’t spend a lot of time here. But I will look at what you said thanks.

Why do you say they’re being deleted? There are comments right here. What’s been deleted that you know of?

Killing monsters who harm and kill en masse is a bad attitude?

He said suffrage not women suffering. Lol Jesus. Look it up in an encyclopedia.

It’s a great joke.

As has happened a thousand times. The criminal justice system needs to be perceived as effective to the masses, so they will often use a patsy.

Truth is that killing someone and getting away with it is not too difficult if you’re very smart and plan it well.

Just FYI it’s “hanged.”

Bot. Less than 24 hours old account.

Op is a brand new account it’s just a bot to shitpost. I imagine some people would like to begin filling Lemmy with vitriol to bring it down into the sewers like all the rest. Mods should ban these users no question no delay.

I’ll take a look at the Magisk one to see what it can do, thanks!

It should never be such a pain. TotalCommander allowed me to use any of my thousand TTF fonts by browsing to them and selecting one. That’s it. Simple and instant. It only works within the app for display, though. Of course, TotalCommander was made by the best, works on every device literally and fails at nothing at all. Maybe the Android developers should ask them how to code.

Valid points! Like I was saying to some others, I don't really need a setting to go into and say here's my own fonts, but I don't like that it's not even doable (unless you know how to backdoor it?)

By the way, thank you for that link!!! That article is insightful as well as reminding me that there are other people who think exactly like I do; I was thinking it's like I could have written it myself, it's so in-line with how I think and what I complain about! I practically gushed when he made the CSI:NY reference without drawing attention to it.😄

Well Google search stopped being about accuracy quite a while ago. It’s all about money now and directing searches to the highest bidder.

I don’t think Boolean operators are not able to be used anymore, are you sure about that?

I’m so sick and tired of literally everything in the world that has beautiful potential quickly getting turned into just another way to shovel in cash by feeding stupid and troglodyte level sophistication.

Can not one fucking thing remain intelligent and noble? Do we get nothing at all? Everyone sells out, ultimately - and I don’t even think it’s always by choice. Call me a conspiracy nut but I’ve long ago concluded that there are authorities maintaining an influence and status quo of ignorance and stupidity, and anyone who dares to try to serve up something better gets threatened or killed, bought out, whatever needed to put an end to their honorable intentions.

Lots of people do real work on iPads and iPads have plenty of fonts. iOS while not as easy as on a desktop, does let you add fonts. Maybe it’s one reason why Android has all but entirely abandoned the idea of tablets. iPad is what everyone goes for because they’re meeting the users’ needs - mostly, anyway.

I love Android and wish it would be able to promise the same because I have much more freedom to customize and I have more authority over the software, storage, and more things. It’s just many factors seem to have been neglected, and rather than “it’s on the todo,” the attitude seems to be “no; you don’t need or want that,” and that’s supposed to be Apple’s sanctimonious stance, not Android.

I'm not sure how much of what you're saying is accurate, but my iPhone has like thirty fonts. Android has five. I'm not asking for something unreasonable; I should be able to expect it and be surprised and disappointed that it's such a prohibitive notion.

All my Windows computers over the years have had hundreds of custom fonts I’ve installed. Never once had malicious code in a font, and that’s Windows - the biggest target for viruses.

I’m just saying by now it should not be considered superfluous or some kind of luxury, it should be considered expectable.

It's just for research and experimentation; none of these are on actual active duty.

Well, what I obviously meant is obsessed with controlling others and others' behavior, possessions and lives.

Well, several of my devices are rooted, one has Cyanogen one has Lineage and I’m working on a few others to see what I can put on there. I’m using Iconeration to make custom icon collections for my screens the way they appeal to me.

Everyone is obsessed with control. Fuck that and fuck them. Thank goodness the EU is hammering down on manufacturers and protecting consumer rights. That ends up propagating to the U.S.A. just because of inertia and it’s not worth making things multiple ways. But it would never happen here on its own because these companies write our laws. It’s good there’s still countries where the peoples’ liberties are protected. But I digress.

Ooh thanks. I will look into it.

I know Samsung has a variety but they charge for them. Fuck that I have like a thousand TTF files. But I’ll look at that app thank you. I tried iFont it doesn’t support the device I happen to try but I have several others I’ll see if any are supported.

Yeah the ringtones used to be a pain in the ass because the carriers really wanted to make you buy them. But you could always use an mp3 converted into m4a format and then just rename the extension to m4r and sync it. But the way I do it is I use garage band. You make a new empty project from recording (don’t actually record anything) then import an mp3 onto the track and export then go into files and select the file and command make ringtone. The instructions are online now and ubiquitous. It used to be a secret lol. It takes like all of a minute to do.

That’s why my initial suspicion was with the fonts maybe they want you to buy fonts, because I did see in the Samsung store I think there are some for purchase but screw that. I downloaded the free ones and they get added to the settings list. There’s an app called iFont but it doesn’t support all devices, just some.

Anyway, I just think it’s rather pathetic. Back 30 years ago I was tilting a dump truck of TTFs into any computer I used so I’d have all the fonts I wanted. I had a repository of a few hundred megabytes of them. Still have them lol.

So why is it, 30 years later and a “Smart”phone can’t fucking let me import a font file.
