I also did not come here for politics.

I came here as an alternative to reddit.

What I did to fix it was to find similar Lemmy communities to those subreddits. I also set up filtering to block out key words, names, etc.

It makes it a lot more bearable.

One thing I’ve noticed, Lemmy and Reddit are run in a large part by content bots when it comes to non-politics. There are some exceptions. I recommend you make peace with the bots and appreciate the content (all the while contributing content yourself of course).

People have lost their homes. Please keep your political bickering out of this.

Turbine style desk fans. They push wind very fast.

In case you didn’t realize, this whole post and thread are just a joke. Try not to take yourself too serious.

But if you must know, I’m currently on Pixel 8, and most of what I posted describe actual well known problems with Android. You would know that if you used Android.

Android users won’t be able to reply.

Third party launchers randomly freeze for no reason.

Lemmy app crashed due to unknown reasons, but suspected due to battery manager failure.

Notification of your post never showed up anyway due to Android hosing notifications with Doze, which everyone thought Doze was done for, but really it was just buried deeper into the OS.

And then Google decided to A-B test all Lemmy users, so that the Lemmy app opens random songs in YouTube Music instead.

I’m not really the one to ask as I don’t buy a smart phone for a camera. However, it looks good to me and I have a picky eye. And from what I’ve seen, you can use Google Camera on Grapheneos and get the same quality pictures and video.

Are you using Grapheneos or another ROM?

They made it where you could sandbox all of the Google stuff, and Android Auto works fine too.

That looks nice, but apps that use GSF for push won’t use that. Or am I missing something on their website?

I had recently installed Grapheneos on my pixel, with a goal is determining what was responsible for all the senseless Google domains that a pixel normally contacts.

To my surprise disabling Network for the Google Services Framework and Play Services killed all of the nonsense. The only downside was that GSF has the push mechanism in it also, that many apps use for push notifications.

If only there were an alternate for push notifications that all apps would use.

Anyway, Grapheneos runs way cooler than Google’s Malware version.

For a spray that actually will kill the odor, try Ozium. But that probably needs to be an additional tool in your arsenal.

I can barely see it with the naked eye, but my night sight android camera makes it bright reddish.

Some posters will have modified the image but not all.

Nice video!

I don’t blame her. I would be like that too, because I don’t have an upstairs. lol

Good thing I wasn’t replying to the down voters. OP got my response and that is what I wanted. 🙂

Brave Search works really well for me, and they have AI responses at the top of the page now that are really good.

That brings back memories.

I personally observe with my own eyes many many times where Android turns off Adguard’s VPN for a split second when doing various Google things like receiving messages in Google Messages.

I haven’t been able to pinpoint it but my observation is that the disconnect/reconnect happens when a connection is trying to be made (ex. RCS message incoming), and I suspect Android is dropping the VPN to make its own connection. Sounds paranoid, but I’ve been carefully watching it happen for a long while.
