YouTube is finally cracking down on third-party apps like ReVanced in c/[email protected]

I quit when they took away the dislike counter, so many said they would but didn't. All I ever see about Youtube is people complaining about their new shitty tactics... just leave, it''s the ONLY way to get any changes. They will never change if people keep using the platform.

Suck it up, leave, you won't regret it.

What are your thoughts on the GKD Pixel? Anything a potential buyer should be aware of? in c/[email protected]

My hands are cramping just by looking at this

Connecting or disconnecting a bluetooth keyboard resets Voyager back to default view (feddit.uk)
 

Using Android, latest version of the app. I use a bluetooth keyboard to type on my phone when I'm at home. When ever I have Voyager open when it connects or disconnects from the bluetooth keyboard, Lemmy refreshes back to the default view and sorting order, even if i'm creating a post.

I have my defaults set to open on All with sorting order is Top from the last 12 hours. If i'm browsing Local and have changed it to Active and then scroll away, if I disconnect the keyboard, it immediately resets back to All and Top from the last 12 hours.

Even when I went to write this post, I had the subject field written, decided to try and disconnect the keyboard and it once again reset back to All and Top. Thankfully I didn't lose everything I had typed... this time.

Any ideas?! Physical keyboards on Android seems to be really quirky at times.

Any Lemmy community suggestions for solar lights? (feddit.uk)
 

I'm struggling to find any communities on Lemmy, maybe someone can point me in the right direction?

It's a really dumb and minor question but it's driving me nuts trying to find a decent solution.

I've got some of those metal outdoor lanterns that have a small round solar panel on the top and an LED. They work great in the summer but there just isn't enough charge in the winter for them to get fully charged... the problem is, EVERY single one I've found ONLY charges when it's turned ON.

There seems to be 1000s of replacements on Amazon but I've not found a single one that charges while off...

I'd really like some that I can keep off but will charge anyway so I can turn them on when I'm actually using them in Winter.

Dumb question but maybe someone can point me to a Lemmy community that can help!

(posted this on lemmy.world too but I can't figure out how to do a crosspost using Voyager)

Alexa repeating calendar notifications twice in c/[email protected]

Doesn't help but thanks haha

Alexa repeating calendar notifications twice (feddit.uk)
 

Not sure where best to post this on Lemmy but here goes...

I've got a single Google calendar enabled on my Alexa. I've set 'announcement count' to 1.

Every single time I have a calendar reminder on my Echo, it says it twice in a row, which is very annoying.

I've seen posts from 5 years ago complaining of the same issue, has anyone found a fix? Seems bonkers it's not been fixed.

Android - Text selection erratic as hell in c/[email protected]

I'll try reader view, thanks for the tip!

Android - Text selection erratic as hell (feddit.uk)
 

On both the standard version and Firefox Focus (both from Play Store), when ever I try and select text to copy the page jumps around erratically. Sometimes it selects all the text on the screen, sometimes it jumps to the top of the page.

It's become impossible to select any sections of text. Does anyone know if there is a fix for this?

thanks

It's more a Google account thing afaik. You get the same prompt in Firefox if you use Gmail

GitHub: Can no longer search code without being logged in in c/[email protected]

I agree it's absolutely stupid, nothing I said was in support of it, I was just pointing out it wasn't difficult to get around

It's just such a common misconception that there was no ads in the 'old Internet', that's all I was pointing out. There seems to be a nostalgic false memory that Internet back then didn't have ads which is hilarious if you were there to see what it was like

Any way to reorder the long press menu? (feddit.uk)
 

Samsung S10 using Android 12.

I've finally managed to remove the 'Search on Bing' option (had uninstall Outlook.. Damn you Microsoft).

I've finally managed to disable the "Add event" button by not only disabling "Smart suggestions" but I also had to disable the system app before it would go.

Ideally I'd like the most common used buttons up front - cut, copy and paste.

Any suggestions?

Trying and failing to like Conkers Bad Fur Day (feddit.uk)
 

I should love this game... I've been trying for years to get in to it, keep thinking it will get better just round the corner but... It's so damn tedious!

I'm at a point near the start where I've just fed the mouse/rat 3 bits of cheese and now I'm trying to climb up and...? Jump in some water? I just keep falling and dying over and over.

Just having a rant! Really want to like this game as much as others seem to...

Slowly scrolling back up refreshes feed (feddit.uk)
 

Any time I slowly scroll back up to a post it always seems to refresh the entire list of posts... I'm sure it didn't used do that... It's useful to be able to refresh but it's far too sensitive. Any way to disable or am I doing something wrong here?
