My question was why do you think degoogling will help you with notification sync.

Why do you think degoogling will help with that?

Well, there is a separate system for pirating prevention, the Google Play license check. That has existed for years.

According to the article, that's due to more features and more updates.

I think the only thing that should be right is the price.
Everything else - form factor, thickness, aspect ratio, whatever - can and should be experimented with, and nothing will break because the apps adapt anyway.
Well, unless they are unoptimized for tablets in general, which most are...

Honestly, I'm shocked there aren't way more. We have the Google Store, Samsung Store, Amazon store and...that's it?
There are plenty of repositories for F-Droid, and from what I've heard, also for Aptoide.
That said, it is not really beneficial for most companies to compete with Google Play since they know the user base will be smaller, user experience will be worse (install warnings, no auto-update), and people may get affected by malware if they don't pay attention to where they are downloading things from (may download a scam app directly instead of the legit app store).

Why window blinds when it could roll up more like a snail?

Why do you think this is something "nobody asked for"? There is clearly a market for large wide-screen tablets and this form factor just makes them pocketable.

Are Tecno phones sold in your country or did you import one?
madis 3 weeks ago • 100%
Somehow I'm still surprised their target market can even afford 1000$ phones.
Aimed at emerging markets, Tecno has focused its business on the African, Middle Eastern, Southeast Asian, South Asian, Latin American, and Eastern European markets.
I wonder why won't they expand their markets, even just for the flip/fold series?

Eh, a "reset hole" like calculators and toys have would suffice, as the phone already needs one for the SIM slot.

Having owned 3 OnePlus phones, I never liked that feature.
Android 5 introduced a "do not disturb" mode, which OnePlus's software just... removes, in favor of the toggle. Hence I have constantly used workarounds or custom ROMs to avoid that toggle altogether.
This is why I prefer DND/software toggle:
- Automatic silence at night
- If you know you need to have it silent for X hours, you can set a timer
- Location automation, especially LineageOS's, but I believe there is some form in AOSP (or Pixel) now too.
I've also tried using the switch for something else, like flashlight, but sometimes ended up activating it by accident, draining the battery.
So now I just have the switch doing nothing at all.

Well, most flagship mobile screens are already flexible. It's the rest of the components that is the issue 😄

Well, you are not expected to grip around the lens, you don't want to smudge the lens anyway. Hence the lens' thickness is not that relevant day-to-day, while I do agree that it can still be relevant in certain cases.

Vivaldi and Brave have the option to disable the Hangouts extension in settings, which should disable this.
As linked in the article, it is indeed used for "Hangouts" (Meet) troubleshooting.

Some Chromium browsers like Brave and Vivaldi already announced they'll extend it for as long as they can, and when they no longer can't, they'll think of something else like improve their own blockers.

With manifest v2, extensions could block the content however they wanted, reading and modifying DOM as they see fit.
Google claims that it is a security risk, so with manifest v3, extensions can only create and give the browser rules and the browser itself will block content based on them. The rules have a limit in size and capabilities.
If that was still not clear, try thinking of unrestricted SQL access vs a UI for modifying a database.

The problem with Language Transfer is its very limited language selection and its format.
Duolingo allows reading, writing, listening and speech (last two can be disabled if unsuitable in your context), and it does not impose daily limits. I've yet to find an alternative app that does all 5 of those things.

What exactly is the great advantage of eSIMs if you have a dual SIM phone?!
If the phone supports a normal and eSIM at the same time, they are equivalent. Because in many countries, dual SIM phones are (and will be) harder to get than single SIM ones, so having eSIM at least allows that.

ChatGPT itself doesn't know where it got the info from, so it makes up links and names - it's a language model, not a search engine.
On the other hand, if you manage to find a reputable source and give it relevant metadata, it can format a nice citation for you, saving you time on that instead.
Please let us disable using back button to open the drawer and on next press, then a prompt to exit the app. I want Connect to behave like any other Android app does - exit the app immediately if there is no navigation stack left.
As ironic as it may be, Connect 1.0.65 (65) is unable to open this community, from the link in its settings. Also tried other ways to open it in the app, same result. I checked that lemm.ee isn't defederating with lemmy.ca so I'm not sure what may cause this. Android 13.
Mis oleks, kui u/sunaurus peaks natuke r/Eesti moderaatoritega nõu, et teha reklaami ja kolida vähemalt osa rahvaga siia? Oleme ju digiriik, inimesed kohanevad muudatustega 😄
Have you considered doing something similar for Mastodon, to allow interacting with toots within Lemmy UI? I know the opposite is possible and Kbin also has some kind of integration, but that doesn't seem to fully work at the moment either.
