Isn't Firefox open source? So isn't it possible that anyone could see the changes being made even in the nightly versions? I'm not a programmer so forgive my ignorance.

how did I not know about this??

The first thing I do whenever I install anything is to go through the settings. To turn off trackers, analytics and explore the accessibility features.

As for “supporting the dev” I don’t really get this concept.

It can be both.

  • You love the app, you don't want it discontinued; you pay to continue the developement.
  • The developers have a solid business model without any shady practices and have such an awesome free version that you don't feel the need to pay to upgrade to premium features; then you may pay just to just your gratitude. Niagara Launcher & MixPlorer are similar examples of ad-free FREE versions.

The Moto X (2014)/(2nd gen) was such an awesome phone with a solid build.

I bought it in 2015 at a huge discount instead of the One Plus 1. I used it till the end of 2019 until the battery gave in & the USB port became useless.

Except for the smaller battery size & ok-ish camera, everyone had praises for that phone. My favourite part was it's shape & software.

It received the Android 5 & 6 updates even before summer Nexus phones. And the updates were stable. Times were wild back then.

Yep. Eternity is great.

I've been a long time Relay user, so it was difficult for me to adjust with the different Lemmy apps. But I've customized Eternity enough that I'm liking it now.

I'm using this Ponyo theme & it's awesome.

Can someone eli5 what Shizuku is? I keep hearing about it on a number of Android App YouTube videos as well.

Nice Suggestion.

DeArrow is a similar extension from the creator of SponsorBlock.

He has highlighted the differences between the two in the description:

  • Unlike Clickbait Remover, DeArrow's main purpose is for crowdsourcing better titles and thumbnails

  • When a crowdsourced title is not available, DeArrow will auto-format it according to your setting, but does it in a more sophisticated way than Clickbait Remover. Instead of only setting all words to lower case, or capitalizing every word, DeArrow supports casing systems such as "Title Case" and "Sentence case". These will still allow acronyms and proper names to remain capitalized.

  • When a crowdsourced thumbnail is not available, DeArrow by default shows a screenshot at a random timestamp in the video. Clickbait Remover's thumbnails use YouTube auto-generated thumbnails, and while they are seemingly random, they are chosen by a machine learning algorithm to favor faces with expressions, and other overstimulating features. DeArrow uses truly random timestamps generated by its own server. DeArrow will also check the SponsorBlock database to ensure the randomized thumbnail is not inside of a sponsor segment.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Chameleon, great privacy tool, but can break some crappy sites

(Forgot name), an addon that lets you skip link shorteners with ads.

I always install automation apps and get overwhelmed by the options/features available within them. What are your must used cases with MacroDroid?

They want to keep competing with and copying Apple/iphones, yet they keep forgetting about what makes Android phones so appealing to the people who select these phones over iphones.

My guess is the various Android & iOS clients will add this feature to combine similar communities and view all of their content together in one feed (like multireddits on reddit).

But I hope this feature is implemented at a system level in the Lemmy software itself.

I think many people may have already requested this as a feature on official GitHub issues.
