Wireless Network Stack War? Do you mind enlightening me? I've never heard of such a thing.

So basically all Bluetooth devices are affected? This is huge news.

Never heard of Anna's Archive before. Not sure how I feel about the prospect of piracy in the fediverse explicitly.

Just a week ago when they mentioned making watches into VR controllers, I said I'd much rather see this because it's been so frustrating. I refuse to believe none of the designers at Google thought the same: https://lemmy.tf/comment/3586848

Finally

Make daily tasks easier with Assistant Routines on Wear OS

Coming soon, you can start Assistant Routines right from your Wear OS smartwatch with a voice command to get more done on the go. For example, if you have a ‘commuting to work’ routine set-up that helps you navigate to work, check the weather and hear your day’s agenda, then at any time of day you can start that routine by saying “Hey Google, commuting to work.”

The first requirement is where they tend to fall down.

That said, the defacto standard is Moon+ Reader. That said, I use Legado for my epub consumption needs.

You're bloody excellent too.

This is bloody excellent. Template please

Holy shit! Welcome back!

That's really good, thanks for sharing.

But theoretically, if someone set up an instance to host their videos, they could serve banner ads right? Wouldn't that at least partly diminish the monetization problem?

Discoverability sucks balls. I still can't find an instance that's not just a list of one person's videos.

What has dog adoption got to do with the Fediverse?

This is super exciting!

Then my homescreen becomes a mess 😭

It's like comparing apples to oranges, both are fruit but very different. LibRedirect has a nicer UI than Redirector and also has content discovery mechanisms for each of the supported sites as well as the ability to ping each instance and TOR support.

Redirector is just an extension that takes URI, passes them through a REGEX find/replace and then sends the user to said new URL.

From what I can gather, Fast Forward is more of an alternative to Redirector rather than LibRedirect.

Sadly the developer passed away. I found out after looking into the development when trying to edit some redirects brought my phone to its knees. It's a good extension, but clearly needs a bit of love.

Unless I found the wrong extension, Fast Forward simply skips short URL redirects where as LibRedirect redirects you to FOSS (for the most part) front end alternatives.

Never heard of Fast Forward before, only LibRedirect. How do they compare?

Edit: They appear to be totally different use cases
