Discourse is awesome. Just needs federation.

As a mod, it is lovely to work with, extremely well indexed, has tags, categories, roles and everything you want.

Everything should be done there. Matrix or Discord make no sense, its just chatting into nirvana, nobody every finds it again

And people… dont… use… threads! They just spam everything in a single chat which makes it unusable

The Pixel 9 will have rounded corners with a flat display and a centered punch-hole selfie camera. The power button and volume keys are placed on the right side of a flat frame. The smartphone will feature a 6.03-inch display, slightly smaller than the Pixel 9 Pro’s 6.1-inch display.

In terms of dimensions, the Pixel 9 measures around 152.8 x 71.9 x 8.5mm, and 12mm with the rear camera bump, OnLeaks tells us.

So imitating Apple, a bunch of useless stuff like “adaptive touch depending on environment” and wireless charging.

Still no headphone jack.

Wow.

Nobody caaaares give us small phones with headphone jacks, thanks <3

People are social beings. They trust people recommending stuff. Its so bad that you need to tell people “well dont believe a thing big tech tells you”

TLDR?

Sorry yes I only watched the movies, I read the Hobbit and gave up at LOTR 1 page 80 or so, when it was still random stuff not in the movies.

In the EU you can just block those popups, they waste so much time and are opt-in by law. Not in the wild west though…

Damn didnt know it was that bad.

They also lack any documentation about how to use their policies on Linux (where you can disable all the bloat). But it should be doable, I will give it another try.

Is the browser even FOSS? Can you compile a working version yourself?

I do that with Firefox and it is really cool.

Editing PDFs

For everyone wanting to do that:

1. Don’t. PDFs are made for printing and viewing. If possible, edit Text documents not PDFs.
2. For merging, removing, rotating, rearranging pages: PDFarranger, really stable and awesome tool even for 500+ pages
3. For adding Text or marking: Firefox, then Okular. Okular Flatpak has full portal support (does not need any filesystem permission)
4. For censoring stuff: GIMP. Just marking with black is not secure, you need to edit the image! If it is text, use Libreoffice Draw
5. Adding Signatures: Okular, Firefox (I think?)
6. For actually changing stuff in the PDF: Libreoffice Draw

There was some blog post about the possibility to track where you are just using your gyroscope, if they had a first location.

Sensor permission my friends. Off by default, just as native code debugging.

You where able to create a Lemmy account and a post.

So please add

• what OS (OEM Android version)
• what app
• why is anything Amazon on your device
• where is it showing up

I mean it is part of the System running on that machine. So it is technically part of the OS?
