Here's a non-paywalled link to an article published in the Washington Post a few days ago. It's great to see this kind of thing getting some mainstream attention. Young children have not made an informed decision about whether they want their photos posted online.
I use Joplin and I do like it very much, but I would like to be able to at least view (not edit) the notes from web browser... Which is not supported....
Home screen widgets are basically the same thing. The issue with these is NFC doesn't work unless the phone is unlocked, or you rooted it to allow NFC all the time.
I’ve been using the Kindle ebook reader for over a decade now, and I’ve accumulated quite a big digital library from Amazon. However, now I’d like to move away to another ebook reader, preferably Kobo, but I don’t want to leave my Kindle ebooks behind. I’d like to bring them with me....
It kind of makes me think of how odd it would have been if many of the old forums named themselves like bookclub.phpbulletin.com, metalheads.vbulletin.net, or something....
Ever sat next to someone using the same discord chat and you hear them next to you with just your ears, then about 500ms later you hear them through discord? It shuts my brain off.
I miss the no bezel screen, despite the flat tire. Unfortunately I burned through three of these in a short amount of time from the cheap plastic back, and the battery was absolutely terrible.
There are two apps that claim to override the button and one doesn’t work and causes issues, while the other has been flawless for me. I set it to open Plex. Even bought a perfectly sized Plex sticker to cover the Netflix logo.
Customizable grid size on both the home screen and app drawer are the two biggest for me. Also being able to hide apps from the drawer while keeping them installed. Home screen gestures are a big one that I don't personally use anymore.
How about what I'm not self-hosting? Lemmy. If anyone has an up to date guide on self-hosting a single user instance of lemmy that is actually easy to follow, that would be great. I just want to control my user account.
Plex, Sonarr/Radarr, Ombi, Home Assistant, Komga, Calibre-Web, Valheim. Everything is on a Debian machine I built recently, except HA which is on an O-Droid (I just copied the hardware from HA Blue and ordered the parts from Ameridroid).
Is it possible to safely torrent without a VPN?
Funds are limited at the moment and i'd rather not have a monthly subscription to worry about....
[General question to the Android community] Have you given up on the audio jack, or do you still only buy devices that have it?

Moving away from Kindle
I’ve been using the Kindle ebook reader for over a decade now, and I’ve accumulated quite a big digital library from Amazon. However, now I’d like to move away to another ebook reader, preferably Kobo, but I don’t want to leave my Kindle ebooks behind. I’d like to bring them with me....
Plex starts narcing on its own users' anime and X-rated habits with an opt-out service, and it's going terribly ( www.pcgamer.com )
Plex Discover Together shares a bit too much. ... ( www.404media.co )
Although the headline focusses on a obvious category of media, it really can go wrong on a lot of other categories as well.
