Battery life is one area I've mostly been able to forget about with the S23 Ultra. I can keep the 85% protect battery charging limit on and still have plenty of charge at the end of the day!

That describes all of us in at least a few areas beyond our competencies and interests.

I miss the days of exciting updates. The only thing that seems at all noteworthy to me, as someone who doesn't use the stock launcher, is the font change.

You might have mentioned this already but what launcher are you using on your S23U, @FragmentedChicken@lemdro.id?

Same here. I use custom collections on Fennec F-Droid but the inability to properly sideload keeps me on the auto rebased builds of Kiwi Browser. That and support for the black OLED theme and night mode website retheming built in.

Very glad to see this come to Firefox though! Hopefully they can also get those other bits added in.

I should probably specify that it does vary by jurisdiction when it comes to massage therapy. We have registered massage therapists here. Some massage therapists might employ some pseudoscience, but there's solid evidence on the near-term therapeutic benefits of massage. For chiropractic, it's pretty much entirely based on pseudoscience.

If you need to fix a problem, a physical therapist is the way to go. If you want temporary relief, a massage therapist can be helpful. There's no good reason to see a chiropractor - and it's unfortunate that insurance providers (including my own) don't allow those funds to be spent on actual treatments.

Strange! Mine doesn't do this.

The few things they do that work are still better delivered by physiotherapists and massage therapists without the pseudoscience.

Have you tried visiting a register massage therapist? They can provide even better immediate relief without the pseudoscience. It pairs very well with physical therapy.

The few things they do that are effective are better delivered by an evidence-based provider (e.g., physiotherapist, massage therapist) without the pseudoscience.

I'd just caution that coverage doesn't necessarily mean effectiveness.

There isn't much evidence there. There's dry needling, which is the evidence-based alternative with different techniques - but much of that is built on the same evidence behind massage therapy.

Like anywhere on the internet, it really comes down to doing your best to exude the kind of energy you want to receive back (and moderation/filtering). There are all types of people around and the key is to just do your best to stay positive. Moderation tools are also more primitive on Lemmy, so, as traffic grows, users will have a larger role to play in reporting and manually curating their feeds via blocking.

If it ever feels like too much, I also recommend taking a break from social media. You may also want to consider other instances like beehaw.org, which goes to great lengths to maintain its particular atmosphere.

Biometrics are only required for certain non-citizens. Canadians aren't required to provide while visiting the US unless opting for an express pre-clearance NEXUS pass.

1. Tap the three dots overflow menu:

2. Select About Instance:

3. Select View Communities:

• !lemmyconnect@lemmy.ca
• https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kuroneko.lemmy_connect

It's not FOSS but it's currently free and without ads.

Don't forget Connect! It's probably the most complete Lemmy app right now. The "About Instance" function is amazing for getting a list of communities on a given instance with actual working links for subscribing.

For folks curious, !infinityforlemmy@lemdro.id is the Infinity fork community. Dev is quite active :).

Paging @MishaalRahman@lemdro.id!

I can't say I've ever noticed any scrolling issues with Chromium on Android, but I'd welcome improvements nevertheless! This is one area I find Firefox to still be a bit behind on.

Might have been a hiccup on the email server. I think we had this very early on with lemdro.id until switching email providers.
