I like Neo Launcher.

FairEmail app does the job for me.

It is plausible that they might slow down traffic coming in via those 3rd party apps. Certainly they know, for example, who uses Infinity vs the Reddit app. Obviously they want to control the client to force ads on users.

Pixel devices are trivially easy to unlock

it’s not like the art is gonna matter if the planet burns, is it?

I mean… You could use this same argument to justify literally anything. After all, it’s not gonna matter once the planet burns.

The Gap Cycle is SciFi, though. Its fairly fuckin dark.

Yeah, y’all were doing it wrong. We always encourage picking creative answers. You need to be playing whatever the judge will pick, not what actually fits the best.

Except that, in my several decades, literally no one ever said that. if someone did say that, they’re ignorant or selling something.

I believe that is patented

I always have a tablet or an old phone lying around.

Yeah, I’d disable that if I could. I’d much rather have no thumbnail than an animated one.

Some mowers are designed that way. Mine advertised “no oil changes”, but really it means I have to add oil a couple times a year instead of draining it.

When you fight literal Nazis and still can’t come away looking like the good guys.

Its surprising to me how many people have apparently never heard of TEMPEST.

Fuck them for these games. It’s an abuse of their market position.

Does Google offer a phone number for me to contact them about problems with their half-assed products? I’ve tried lots of times to reach a human being, but never raised a response as a private citizen.

That’s not what I consider negligible on my phone, which is already resource constrained. Yes, I have a problem with an app that intentionally wastes my valuable resources. I wouldn’t care so much from my desktop, but I mostly just use a desktop client to do things I can’t easily do on my mobile clients.

No big deal. It’s not as if my participation is especially valuable. I would just participate less.

edit: my objection is obviously more in principal than it is practical, but it would hardly be the first time I walked away from software (or a network) on philosophical grounds.

And use copper pot still with silver solder.

Never heard of, eg, Vioxx or thalidomide, I take it?

That’s a hard NO from me, dawg. If Lemmy goes down that path, I will just not comment. My account settings let me just block bots. I dont need my resources wasted so I can interact with the “good bots”.

Since the requests it uses to fetch communities from the remote instances are unauthenticated, it won’t show you any that are marked NSFW.

Thanks for pointing that out. I had noticed that it was omitting nsfw and meant to ask you at some point.
