I've had bad experience with FocalBoard. Several times it lost data for no apparent reason, including during updates. Eventually I decided to stop using it because it was too fragile.

Can you use the conversion tool on networks that don't offer eSIMs directly? There are still many networks, especially smaller or cheaper ones, that only offer physical SIMs.

I understand that hating on OneDrive is popular here, but 1) you can remove it using the registry editor, and 2) if you don't log in and tell it to sync, it doesn't do anything in the background.

Yeah, I see it. Horrible for the users though...

Seriously, this bot is great. It's one of my favourite parts of finding news through Lemmy, just like it used to be on the old site.

What even is the point of this change?! What could it possibly improve?

There is a way to enable arbitrary add-ons to work on Firefox for Android, but you have to do a few extra steps: register a Firefox account, create a collection of extensions, then add that collection to your phone. I can tell you that Conset-o-Matic definitely works if you take this route.

IMO these are exactly the kinds of reasons why you might switch to something else. Audio quality is "good enough" everywhere, but Spotify seems the most apt of the streaming service at worsening their UI with each update.

Do you know if hardware decode of 4K HEVC works on the Orange Pi 5?

I haven't used passkeys yet, but I would hope that you can have multiple keys per site, not just one. So, after going through some initial pain of setting up each individual device, it should be nice having local-only keys for each of them, which you could revoke at any time.

Password managers are also adding support for passkeys, so you should be able to sync them if you so wish.

Encryption isn't banned. The government could just ask service providers to decrypt content at any time, allegedly so that it can be scanned for child abuse. This is impossible with e2ee, so such services may become impossible to operate in the UK.

Ah, interesting! They do both turn into links on Alexandrite, but on the official frontend and on Photon only the community does (the user stays as plain text).

In Alexandrite, is there a way to link to users or communities other than typing the link manually using markdown syntax? For example, in the official Lemmy frontend, typing ! begins a search for matching community names; I don't know if there is similar functionality for usernames.

Eternity is excellent! I didn't like it at first because it seemed cluttered, but after using it for a while, it's become my favourite Android client!

I would take the parent poster’s experience as definitely anecdotal/coincidental. A lot of factors can cause a battery to degrade faster, beyond just faster charging or doing full charge cycles.

Exactly, that's what I was getting at. Personally, I've concluded that there are too many factors outside of my control to warrant worrying about it too much.

I wish it was as easy as just buy $50 battery. But with a waterproof phone I don’t think waterproofing will be ip68 when I replace the battery

@plotting_homelab@lemmy.world fair enough. I've never made use of the waterproofing features on any phone I've owned. I think my previous ones didn't even have any to being with...

This is all anecdotal, so take it as you will. At some point in the past I used to be careful to do 80–20, or even 70–30 when possible. It was usually a pain, because I didn't get the full benefit of the battery, and I was always worried I might go above or below my targets. I still had to replace a battery after 2 years.

Then, with my previous phone, I decided not to worry about that and just charge whenever. The vast majority of the time I charged to 100% using fast charge, albeit not overnight. I had that phone for 4 years and it was only in the last year that I felt the battery had got worse. That last year was also after a big software update.

With my current phone, I'm doing 80–20 again—but more often 85–35—without fast charging. A year and half in and the battery has definitely degraded. I have easy access to a charger most of the time, and I use a software feature on the phone to limit charging to 85%, so my current schedule is easy to keep to, but if it wasn't, it probably wouldn't be worth it for me. I'd just accept that, worst case, I have to buy a $50 battery every couple of years to not have to worry about charge levels.

I only tried it on desktop. There's a tiny progress bar at the bottom, but you can't interact with it.

A moderator of a big community. And the quality of the comments, or lack thereof, is just as important.

no seek bar

I really don't understand who thought that removing the seek bar from a video player was a good idea...
