why kill the tabs to have a browser without content running in the background?

It doesn't kill the tabs, just removes their content from active memory.

If you have private tabs open and the fucking OS kills the browser, then those tabs are gone and you need to reopen them from scratch, log in again etc. With this option enabled, the browser can free up more memory so the OS is less likely to kill the browser.

Now, with some phone brands it might not matter as their background process culling is more aggressive, but with default Android there's a difference.

But it's just an option, idk if it's disabled by default. Maybe there's an extra config option for it somewhere.

Yea FF on Android does take up more memory than Chromium, maybe because Chromium can share more Android core things, idk. Either way, if you run out of memory, the browser will start flushing things regardless, so it doesn't crash.

Chromium also does a different thing where it still shows the unloaded website but in "preview" mode and you need to refresh it anyway, which I find even more annoying.

Sounds good.

Back in the day, my shaver broke so I looked online for a new one. Bought one, and afterwards I had ads for nothing but electric shavers. It was so friggin bizarre, like reading some random article and getting 6 ads for shavers. That's when I finally started using adblock.

And IceRaven

You mean you want to avoid FF flushing your tabs?

Um, I don't know if stock FF has that, but in IceRaven there's an option for the exact opposite - to flush the content of tabs so that when the browser is minimised, Android is less likely to kill it outright. I assume it's just some config option being exposed as a menu item.

But note the meaning of the feature - if your tabs stay active, they take up resources and so it's more likely Android will kill the entire browser process.

IR also has pull to refresh btw, as do other forks.

I still think the SW universe has some completely different physics than ours. Speed of light, time, stuff like that just don't work the same way. I think it's some sort of microscopic fluidic space equivalent to a much younger our universe. After all, it occurs "a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away".

Now, Starfleet crews commonly deal with all kinds of alternate universes and they tend to survive (at least if they have a show about them), so I'd still give Starfleet an edge. People im the SW universe get screwed way more often - unknown regions, hyperspace, galactic barrier... Everything we've seen Trek crews survive.

I wish there were such detectors for other triggering stuff, like gore, or creepy insects, or any visual based phobia. Everyone just freaks out about porn.

Sisko be like: oh yea those genocidal shape shifting freaks that have contempt for everything that isn't them and can ruin any government from within, have a billion-strong army of generically engineered suicidal supersoldiers armed to the teeth with resources of an entire quadrant. Aight brb, lemme grab our mortal enemies to work for us, and then I'll talk to my multidimensional gods pals for assistance.

With MotoGP it's a similar situation... Moto 3 is always madness and a highlight of the weekend. I'm glad Moto 3 and 2 race every time, not like with F1.

I really watch F1 for F2 this year. If it's not on, I don't think I'll bother often anymore. Even if the event is sometimes unpredictable, it's more often based on team strategy or luck. The best actual racing usually happens in the bottom half of the lineup, which may be entertaining, but not exactly why I wanna watch motorsports for.

Honestly I just read the biggest classics and hits. Usually they're classics for a reason, and even if it's not to my liking, at least I learn something new and can cross it off the bucket list.

Now that I think about it, scifi is somewhat monocultural - is that a word? - this way. The consensus what's good and what's not, and why, seems to be higher than in real world fiction.

I do listen to more audioshows than books and it's kinda the same. If something becomes very popular, it's likely to be better than average. Although I've found some sleeper hits too, and nothing really bad. Producing an audio show is probably harder than writing a book.

Check with any film school, I'm sure you'll find people that will kill for an opportunity to make a movie someone else funds. Either students or indie filmmakers.

Alternatively, there are porn studios that do customs. Obviously they tend to have specific skillsets, but who knows.

You people need to watch F2.

The best one imo is Iudesk Photo Editor. Not good for drawing, but otherwise it has almost everything, ad-free version is just a few €$£ and minimum tracking compared to the big guns.

Open source options are lacking: Litrato, Pocket Paint and Simple Draw, each does something but still not much together.

As people mention, there's a bunch of them. I'll also add the Simple Mobile Tools phone project. And Divest OS.

I suppose... But considering how many devices I've lost due to broken connectors (and I'm pretty careful), and how many times has a magnetic cable saved a device, I feel like this is a smaller risk.

I probably wouldn't use it for very fast charging, but then I'd try to not use very fast charging at all in the first place.

Well and now I hope I'm not jinxing it and the things won't burn my place down or something...

OpenBoard fork with Gesture Typing: https://github.com/erkserkserks/openboard/releases

Not an answer because I don't know, but I recommend using magnetic cables. That way you don't need to worry about damaging the connector on the phone, and you can use the same cable for USB-C, micro and Lightning.

Also yea don't use a screwdriver to clean stuff, geez. Just cut a piece of paper or if it's too stuck, get some isopropyl alcohol and toothpicks.

You don't need to send it, they just retrieve it from your git, they have a faq on their site. But people are saying you can package it yourself if you compile the binary according to their instructions, so I'm out of the loop anyway. Just look at their site, they ought to have the instructions.

Documents don't help against identity theft. I guess selfies don't either in the age of deepfakes, but it gives them plausible deniability.

The problem here is that you lost the 2FA, so that makes it difficult.

But yea as long as it's just emails from a company you don't care about, setting them as spam is the easiest solution.

Wow I see it completely differently. We're all just a step of being in a shit situation, including prison. As an ex-taxi driver who's been pointlessly harassed by cops many times, I keep wondering how far I was from just snapping one day. Actually I downright fantasise about it sometimes.

Guess it can work as a guilty pleasure... But I'll stick to playing stupid NDS games and such.
