  • Exactly, and the way it work(ed) on reddit was a non-plus from the start, especially if you modded moderately large subs hence me never blocking anyone other than those annoying accounts.

    The art of ignoring is key ;)

  • but I have nothing against the users.

    Absolutely, and in 12+ years of using reddit the only accounts funnily enough I've had to block are admin accounts, and I liken the above to users from other subreddits being able to able to interact in other subs until they either

    • get banned by the sub /c/ mods
    • individual users using the block function

    Tarring users from instances is like using that SaferBot bullshit which I've never liked.

  • Why not, post something here that's like you say pretty niche and generates discussion about it?

    If it wasn't posted here I wouldn't have heard about it and why I subscribe to such places for news on these devices.

  • Mary’s family, who live in an area in which relations with police have been fraught for many years, are concerned that members of their community may learn about the relationship and wrongly conclude that she knowingly collaborated with police.

    Also known as a "pig fucker".

    You get labelled with that round 'ere and things are never the same again. Horrible stigma.

  • Not only security implications, it's also the time sink and apps crying about Safetynet being unable to be passed I find the Pihole + browser extensions / Tampermonkey etc somewhat of a sweet compromise.

    I keep getting nagged by someone to try either AdGuard or NextDNS on my Pi but also.....lazy/busy at work :(

  • (Galnet) MIUI at one point used to be the ROM to install back in the day.

    Now, typing from this Mi 11 meme it's a whole different kettle of fish. Security app is what I would call snake oil leaning for towards spyware, then all the other uninstallable apps from MIUI are tracking apps / dupes.

    To be honest though being able to uninstall YouTube should be a given but Google won't allow that either, even though it's a "website".

  • Your submission in "{{post.title}}" was removed for Rule 2.

  • Yeah, I'm lucky that I have the option of both gesture or three button nav of which, I still use the latter because it's better for me.

    I was big on gestures back in the day with LMT and something I've found with MiuiOS is they now have that with Quick Ball as it's called. It's ace, and also a bit like AOSP Browser side gestures which I also used to use.

    Further, slightly off topic ranting? Yes, where I work they currently have an obsession with installing touchscreens on HMI panels to control machinery. Problem is the touch resolution on them is dogshit so peeps end up start trying to use with them with their pens etc and physically damage the screen.

    Before these touchscreen "interfaces", we had nice IP68 physical buttons on a Siemens panel that did the very same functions. Sickens me how much they cost for a lower quality interface.

  • Simple lockscreen screenshot I found from 10 years back, and where I was making AndroidLost persistent across factory resets on a Galaxy S2

    Fun times.

  • It's an interesting question this and whether Samsung is willing to use GSI's / DSU.

    Last time I checked that was a negative?

  • Should be noted it's fairly simple to do this on any Android phone with Tasker.


    Profile > Event > Sensor > Shake Left-Right > task=torch toggle

    Tasks > Alert > Torch > Set Toggle > task - torch toggle


  • Should be interesting all those users like myself that use Newpipe to access YouTube.

    I've got content on my YT account and I've actually watched a video via my Chromecast/Official YT app recently, it's something to be aware of I suppose.

  • I suppose a good canary on that then would be Google taking away the manual setting of PrivateDNS and making it only their DNS, in the name of some security threat/other reason.

  • Wonder why they haven't nuked them on desktop Chrome then, where extensions are a plenty?

    Is mobile a much more juicy fruit for their advertisers, or is it like said elsewhere in here more a technical thing?

  • Someone once called SpongeBob mean names in a server I reside in.

    SpongeBob Squarepants prevailed.
