I fixed my keyboard by taking a single wire strand and just taping it with a piece of clear tape. It’s been working without any issues for more than a year xD

One trick for a better fingerprint recognition is to set 2+ fingers but scan only one finger for all of them.

This may or may not also increase the likelihood of someone else succesfully unlocking your phone with their own fingerprint.

I finally made a full switch from Sync to Thunder, because even though I know that Sync dev does take huge breaks and he comes back and fixes everything and makes the app even better, I still wanted to make sure I find a good alternative and get familiar with it just in case.

Thunder is a really good app, especially considering its age. It also has the most features and the nicest UI (IMO) among the Lemmy apps. And it being open source is a huge plus too.

Sync is still my favorite, it just feels really nice to use, but I’ll stay on Thunder for now.

Voyager is also a really nice app that feels polished and works smoothly, but it’s lacking certain features that I like. So I keep it installed as a backup but I don’t use it often.

I kinda started using lemmy less lately. I shall fix that!

That’s cool! What software are you using for drawing/animation?

ShizuTools allows you to run ADB command through intents, which means that you can use Tasker (or other similar app) to run the ADB reboot command. I tested this part and it works.
The problem is that you would need to start Shizuku manually after each restart.
Searching TaskerNet for shizuku, I was able to find some projects that can start shizuku for you, although I haven’t tried them out.

So, it does seem possible, but with quite a bit of setup.

Thank you, good to know!

Yeah, thats pretty much how I used it, it’s almost always almost full haha.
So what are some things you can do to make sure your SSD lasts longer?

This one is spectacular

What does FUTO use? It works pretty good (based on my limited testing) and it works offline.

Maybe Mindful

Image Toolbox would probably be your best bet if you want a native android app.

Check the pinned post on [email protected], it has all the apps for each platform listed.

Unfortunately no.
I don’t think there is a FOSS one that supports it.

I only use FOSS ones. I hop between florisboard and unexpected keyboard, and I gave heliboard a shot again recently because it has the swipe/glide typing but I couldn’t stick with it because I was missing other features, so I’m back on floris.

Since I only use open source keyboards, I’m not really concerned about privacy…so no blocking of internet access.

I also thought about trying out the clipboard history, and also am wondering if it’s safe…

If you want to try FOSS keyboard again, HeliBoard is your best bet.

Initially made an account on lemmy.ml in 2022. I was eyeing the fediverse, and when I found that there is a “reddit alternative”, I wanted to check it out, but there wasn’t much activity so I didn’t use it much other than checking on it occasionally.
Then in 2023 I made an account on tchncs…when majority of users also hopped on lemmy.

Yeah, OP’s post is misleading. Back then, they announced that they will make that change in how votes are displayed.
So they literally did the opposite of what OP is claiming, they started showing real numbers. Those numbers don’t seem unrealistic at all to me. Reddit is one of the most popular websites, and the nature of the frontpage will just mean that posts that reach the top will have huge amount of votes.

I don’t know why are we still talking about reddit here. I’m pretty sure everyone who is here, already hates it.

Really cool art.
The unusual tree made me think of Scavengers Reign.

Oh, I haven’t even considered that possibility. As I mentioned before, the PC is old, so anything is possible at this point. I will be testing them again, all at once, but with a different test and see how that goes, if it fails again it could be the controller I guess.
