Emergency disable biometric on Android? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

[–] Firipu@startrek.website 1 points 1 month ago

I tried using it. Putting my phone down on any surface would trigger it. Made my biometrics completely useless. Too sensitive on my device, even on the lowest settings :(

Clicks keyboard cases are coming to Pixel 9, Galaxy S25, and Motorola Razr+ [Gallery] in c/android@lemdro.id

I've seen multiple ppl review them and say they are complete shit.

The lack of staggering between the rows would drive me nuts. Fuck that...

John Oliver launches "Make yourself less valuable to Meta" website, suggests Signal, Mastodon, Pixelfed, and BlueSky as Meta alternatives in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

My Instagram is full of fitness content (and good looking people tbh). Nothing comes even remotely close on pixelfed. No offence to federated social media, but we all ain't good looking :) (or suck at using filters...)

It's still a very long way off from taking over Instagram.

Is Lemmy community nice to new users? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[–] Firipu@startrek.website 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Lemmy has a hardon for FOSS, and an irrational hatred for windows.

Aside from that, it's quite nice imo

The irony of this movie poster mockup being AI generated cracks me up.

Being overly Paranoia? Can't think of another valid reason.

Lenovo Tab review – 10-inch tablet as an affordable alternative for school, college, and the living room in c/android@lemdro.id

What casual use can you do on windows/Linux that you can't on android?

And Android is so much better than windows/Linux for touch that it's not even a competition.

How do I break a fizzy drink addiction? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[–] Firipu@startrek.website 15 points 1 month ago

Swap to a 0 calorie version and just keep enjoying it? Fizzy drinks are a pretty harmless vice in the grand scheme of things. Hollow calories, so if you can replace it with a 0 calorie version, it would at least stop affecting your weight.

I know everyone is against artificial sweeteners. They won't kill you faster than microplastics, pollution, break pad dust, war, alcohol, smoking,...

Enjoy life! Enjoy a fizzy drink! I thoroughly enjoy my daily coke zero can.

Nearly half of Steam's users are still using Windows 10, with end of life fast approaching in c/pcgaming@lemmy.ca

[–] Firipu@startrek.website 10 points 1 month ago

I use Linux and windows. Windows is so much simpler for 99% of ppl that grew up with it.

I love your optimism. But if even a single digit percentage of them migrates to Linux, that would be mind boggling.

Lenovo Yoga Tab Plus review – The affordable giant tablet takes on the iPad Pro in c/android@lemdro.id

[–] Firipu@startrek.website 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I have the galaxy tab ultra. I use it more than my actual laptop for surfing and lounging and watching videos. For work and productivity I use my laptop. If I really had to pick one, I'd probably pick the tablet. It's all about what you do with it + formfactor

(have a desktop for actual gaming)

Also, the Lenovo y700 is an awesome device if you want an 8inch tablet.

Ah, fair enough. So that's similar to "infinite universes of infinite possibilities, except light can never go faster than 300.000 km/sec"?
