You gotta admit it's confusing and abnormal to put a single "no" entry in the middle of a comma-delimited list of "yes" entries. Normally you'd say,

It has this, that, and the other thing, and no bad things, malthings, or blahs.

Sometimes the "and" and "or" are left out.

It has this, that, the other thing, and no bad things, malthings, blahs.

The original commenter took this format, and mixed it all up like

It has this, no bad thing, other thing

Is that no other thing or yes other thing? Who can tell? Only people who didn't need to be told these things in the first place.

Username appropriate.

Doubly backwards

It's a fixed bid. The faster you get the work done the more you make per hour. (Per minute, really.)

Meanwhile... decades in the past? Still doesn't make sense.

Ok, how does $5 sound?

People are still doing "Nobody:" memes? They don't even make sense. This would be improved 100% by removing the "Nobody:" line.

Does lemmy.world use third party cookies for authentication or something? Otherwise, I don't see how strict mode should interfere.

Why would Lemmy not work in strict security mode when every other site works just fine? It's just a cookie, right? How is lemmy.world special?

I definitely had the bug when double-tapping the app switcher on my Pixel 4a, but I never had that problem on my Pixel 7 Pro, nor this one:

For example, Google Pixel owners running alternative launcher apps can’t use the “select” feature seen in the Pixel Launcher’s recents menu, which allows users to select text and images in any app.

That's pronounced "pthwee sixty"

My two eyes see slightly different color. Noticed this years ago when looking at a florescent ceiling light with my eyes relaxed such that I was seeing a double image. The two images of the light were a slightly different color.

I'm a dude.

Mull, which is based on Firefox, but removes all the telemetry and stuff. I forget why I chose it over other versions of Firefox. Someone here on Lemmy recommended it.

Thanks! I just got Rethink setup last night. I was able to import my actual VPN into it, and it works great!

It's working! Thanks! I got Mullvad configured inside Rethink, and blocked Gboard from the internet. I was enjoying HeliBoard, but it doesn't have emoji search. ☹️ Also, autocorrect on HeliBoard was pretty bad. A combination of too aggressive and not aggressive enough at times. Plus the "swipe spacebar to select text" feature of HeliBoard never felt as good as Gboard.

Of course, now I can't use the GIF feature of GBoard, which was another occasionally useful feature.

Man, does Rethink have a lot of options and settings. Definitely not for the faint of heart!

I also blocked "Speech Recognition and Synthesis from Google" which I think is used when you do voice typing. Voice typing is still working, so that's good. It does most of it locally. Except I noticed months ago that if I have a very spotty cell connection, Voice Typing takes forever to initialize. I thought it was fully on-device at all times, but it turns out it's not.

Anyone else know some other things I should block? I blocked Chrome because I never use it and I pretty much immediately saw it was using the Internet in the background when I enabled Rethink.

Nice! I'll have to try it out.

Are there any system apps that are worth blocking that won't make my phone less useful? Kind of an ambiguous question, I know. I just blocked GBoard, for one.

Oh, never mind. It uses a pseudo VPN to filter traffic, and I'm using an actual VPN, so its not compatible. I only learned this after setting up some rules and finally trying to enable it.

It'd be cool if they integrated a VPN client into the app.

I use KeePassDX's "Magikeyboard" to type everything. I have an entry with every character in it as a custom field. My phone doesn't have any other keyboard installed, so in order to use the keyboard you first have to unlock my database with a fingerprint.

Firewalled how? Custom ROM? Custom apk? Normal Android non-root firewall app? I'd like to know more.
