Is there a Fediverse equivalent to IMDb, TMDB/TheTVDB, or similar platforms for movies/TV? by zdhzm2pgp in c/fediverse@lemmy.ml

This isn't really what you're looking for, but libremd is an Invidious-style front end for the IMDb. It manages to scrape quite a bit from them, though not everything.

Going to go through the troubleshooting guide on iFixit on the remote chance that I can salvage this thing...

Help! Pixel 5a5g with GrapheneOS—screen just went blank by zdhzm2pgp in c/android@lemmy.ml

Thanks to @sloppy_diffuser@sh.itjust.works and @limerod@reddthat.com. The GrapheneOS page recommends getting at least a "7," but I can probably sell some more plasma and the rest of my Precious Moments™ figurines to get a more expensive model. The 5a5g did indeed have a headphone jack, but I guess anything newer than that doesn't have one. Which means, I guess, earbuds/bluetooth (what Mrs. zdhzm2pgp calls "ear cigarettes")? I've never had these for anything; how well do they work? I was sort of under the impression that the sound quality was not great, but that was also a long time ago.

Help! Pixel 5a5g with GrapheneOS—screen just went blank (lemmy.ml)

Was doing multiple things at the time, so not sure about this—I think I restarted it but then it wouldn't start up again. Holding down the power button didn't help, nor did holding down the power button along with either the up or down volume for a few seconds. Plugging it in, it does make the "started charging" noise or whatever.

Would be much obliged for any suggestions on how to get this working again!

UPDATE: Well, and it just rang! Maybe the screen died . . . ?

UPDATE UPDATE: Well new friends, it looks like I'm now officially in the market for a new phone. Since I like GrapheneOS, I guess I need to buy another Pixel which hopefully won't crap out on me after 3 years like this one has just apparently done. But which Pixel should I get? As long as it's comparable in functionality to the 5a5g . . .
