I don't agree with most of these comments, except for the swipe down with two fingers. But it still looks like it's early in development, and it'll be a while until Android 16. I don't think they'd make a two finger gesture the only way to access quick settings, especially from an accessibility standpoint. They'll probably change it.

Current stock android quick settings suck. So much wasted space. Changing some settings is inconvenient. It looks quite bad, especially the brightness slider. And editing the tiles is currently extremely slow, difficult and janky.

This change improves the looks. The number of tiles per page is changed from 8 to 12/16. Toggling WiFi or Bluetooth on/off will now take only one tap instead of three. Editing tiles looks smooth and easy.

This isn't change for the sake of change, this is a fix for one of Android's weakest points.

Forest is a simple step counter that shows you the steps you did today, with a little extra info.

Doable is a tasks/reminders app. It's not the most feature rich, and notifications are only in beta, but I love the design and it does what I need well.

Data Monitor shows you how much data you've used in your current plan, and you can see which apps use the most data (or wifi).

Quillpad for notes.

LibreOffice Viewer lets you open word documents and the like.

Squawker lets you open Twitter links more privately, and even follow users to see all of their posts, but requires you log in with an account.

Breezy Weather is a really nice weather app.

Tbf there's a link to imdb on the first image

Yeah I usually like the Google boxes in search results, but this is so excessive. Everything after and including the polls is just completely unnecessary

Sideloading is quite bad. If you're in the EU, I know you can use AltStore PAL, which costs money (~€1.50 a year), but all you'll be getting is emulators, virtual machines, clipboard managers, and torrent clients.

There is another method for sideloading that works anywhere and lets you download modified apps, but it is very limited, tedious, and probably insecure. I've done it, it's not worth it. Better to stay on android or use a browser with adblock or something.

I don't think iOS has any specific limits to do with NSFW stuff, I've never heard of anything anyways.

Pirating games is probably not going to be worth it either since you have to sideload apps with the second method.

Other types of piracy are probably fine. If you have AltStore PAL you can get a torrent client and an emulator.

Microsoft was claiming that the data would be inaccessible to hackers (which is not true).

Signal claimed the exact opposite: that once it's on your computer, messages can be seen by malicious programs on your computer.

Signal was caught having less than ideal security. Microsoft was caught lying.

This is a small 3D platformer in Celeste mountain, made by the Celeste team to celebrate Celeste's 6th anniversary!

Spinning Celeste logo that says Celeste 64, Fragments of the Mountain, underneath it.

I'm excited to play it! What do you think of this?

 

The sale is on until the 28th of November. If you were thinking of buying Celeste, now is the time.

Interesting. On my client (Eternity) both the picture from Reddit and the picture from gify.nou.cz load. On the Lemmy website only the Reddit image loads.

[–] NicoCharrua@lemmy.ca 0 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Yeah, just upload pictures in the post body. Like you do in comments you can do it in the post text as well.

Lemmy has a way of doing it automatically, but if you want to do it manually the formatting is

https://www.reddit.com/r/Infinity_For_Reddit/comments/14c2v5x/build_your_own_apk_with_your_personal_api_key_in/

You can build your own APK of Infinity with your own API key. You don't need to install any apps (other than infinity) and it can be done from your phone.

Screenshot in case the post on Reddit is removed:
1. Backup your current settings in the App [Settings Advanced -> Backup settings (or so)] 2. Open the Google Colab Script and run the snippets with the instructions (Please read it carefully, you don't need ANY coding experience as you don't touch the code) 3. Uninstall old App 4. Install the APK 5. Login and restore your settings (if needed) If you see the name "{YourRedditUsername}-app" (or whatever you chose) while logging in, you were successful 6. Restart the app for the settings to apply

Important: If the build fails or you can't login in the App because of an Oauth error, try doing the whole process again in another browser (yes, generating a new APl token)

Google Colab Script

Edit: Also, Geddit (Website) (F-Droid) (GitHub) works without the API, but you can't interact with anything, comments don't show properly, and I think the UI doesn't look very good.

Thank you to Reddit u/Thunder9191133 for this post where I originally found how to do this glitch.

It's possible to glitch into grannie's house in Epilogue by skipping the cutscene at the same time that Madeline starts to walk into the house. Here's the most consistent way I found to do it:

  1. Go to Epilogue, and climb up the step to the left of Madeline.
  2. After she climbed up, hold left and almost immediately pause.

If Madeline walks into the house, you paused too late. Restart chapter and try again.

If you pause the game and see 'Retry', you paused too early. Retry and try again.

  1. If you pause the game and see 'Skip Cutscene', you did it! Now you can skip the cutscene, and you'll be in the house (but the cutscene will still be playing).
  2. Pause again, and press Retry.

That's it. Have fun in grannie's house!

Video showing the glitch

For some reason you can't grab or walljump on the walls of her house. There's not much to do in there, but it's interesting that it's possible.

Feel free to try it yourself! It will probably take a few tries, but it's not too difficult.

 

I just played this mod with a friend a few days ago, and it's pretty fun!

It's a multiplayer level where one person plays as Madeline who can dash, and the other plays as Theo who has a grappling hook ability. You help each other through screens, for example by moving blocks or pressing buttons.

It's online, so there's a bit of delay, but it works better than I expected! The different abilities for Madeline and Theo make the gameplay a lot more interesting than if it was just 2 Madelines. I recommend checking it out, even if just to see what it's like.

Also, here's some other multiplayer mods if you didn't see them before.

CelesteNet

Head 2 Head (Racing)

Madhunt (Hide and seek tag)

 

The beta for groups will release later this week, which won't be federated initially. Federation will be added afterwards.

Looks like it will have some interesting features like videos, polls, and events, as well as moderator tools like limiting what a user can do.

A menu in Pixelfed titled 'Limit Interactions' which shows that a moderator can prevent specific users from posting, commenting, or liking posts and comments.

If you haven't seen it already, there is a Lemmy version of r/place going on right now, at https://canvas.toast.ooo

Looks like someone also made a pixel art of Madeline!

The Canvas is gonna close soon (Exact time), so check it out if you haven't already

Reddit tried to remove https://i.reddit.com, but they forgot that you could also access it by going to https://reddit.com/.i

Wouldn't be surprised if they would remove RSS feeds but forgot they exist

Out of curiosity, why would you want a phone with no cameras?

And do phones with built in projectors exist? That sounds amazing, even if I would almost never use it
