Are there any launchers that have Nova's 2 best features?

  1. Swipe-to-open folders (with tap to open the first item in the folder)
  2. Set any icon you want as an app icon?

I've tried Lawnchair and it was missing these 2 features. I will switch to any launcher that supports these!

 

This looks cool but... I'm nervous about pre-ordering from a company I've never heard of. Anyone know anything about these guys?

 

Last year Elon Musk accidentally revealed that he has a burner account on Twitter called @ErmnMusk.

Now that account is gone.

I'm looking for an archive: its tweets, its likes, anything and everything. Does anyone know where to find?

 

I'm unable to load my own profile in Eternity. Having this issue across multiple accounts. Tapping "Profile" in the sidebar brings up my profile but it's empty, no posts load. Anyone know how to fix?

 

I just joined lemm.ee from lemmy.world. I was drawn to lemm.ee bc it federates with all the right instances.

But my feed is behaving oddly. (I view Lemmy through the Eternity app on Android.)

  • I'm seeing posts from communities I haven't subscribed to, even when I view my "Subscribed" feed
  • I get a weird error when I try to comment on some posts (in Firefox@lemmy.ml, most recently)

These issues didn't happen previously. Anyone know how to fix?

I'm searching for a good RSS feed reader, but can't find a perfect one. Features I'm seeking:

  • Offline reading
  • Page turning/scrolling via on-screen buttons
  • E-ink friendly color scheme

Here's what I've tried so far:

  • Reabble: I love this one, but it doesn't support offline reading beyond a few articles.
  • FeedMe: This one's great too, but page turning is only possible via physical volume buttons. My tablet doesn't have those.
  • Handy Reader: This one seems pretty good, but you can't change the color on the left-side drawer (where the list of feeds is) so I can't read it on an e-ink screen.

Does anyone know of an RSS reader that meets these needs?

 

I'm looking for a way to pull images from my Lemmy feed and display them on desktop tiles, similar to Scrolldit. Ideally, the images would refresh every so often.

Does anything like this exist?

Thank you

FM Radio jamming? (lemmy.world)
submitted 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) by mulcahey@lemmy.world to c/flipperzero@lemmy.world
 

Can you jam an FM radio signal with a FZ?

Let's say, hypothetically, there's a guy who parks on your street once a week and -- for some reason that no one understands and he refuses to explain -- he absolutely BLASTS a butt rock radio station from his car speakers for 20 minutes at a time, so loud that it bounces off all the buildings on your narrow street and it sounds like it's coming from every single window. And when you go out and say, "Hey dude, I'm taking a call for work, could you not do that here? Or anywhere, really?" he smirks and looks at you like you're the one acting crazy.

Again, this is a hypothetical.

But in this hypothetical situation, could you use a FZ to jam his car radio? How? (I know that many people might call the police/311 and ask them to do something about this. That is not how I want to do this.)

Thank you for indulging this completely made up scenario.

How do I do this

[–] mulcahey@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (5 children)

Should go harder IMHO. This ad from the National Congress of American Indians does a good job.

[–] mulcahey@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago (4 children)

Gonna need to know more. What method do you use to lock your phone? Is it rooted?

Also: did they return the phone to you, or to your friend? Could it be your friend who went through these apps?

 

I'm looking for a FOSS email client for desktop. (Windows and MacOS, for now.)

Using Airmail or Mailbird as references, I'm looking for a client with some of these features:

  • A clean, minimalist design
  • A left-side toolbar as a narrow band, icons only.
  • Bonus points if it can schedule an email to send later.

I'm familiar with Thunderbird and there's a lot to like there, but design-wise, it's pretty cluttered, IMHO.

Does anyone know of a FOSS desktop email client that looks clean? -OR- Is there a way to change Thunderbird's layout so it looks/functions more like Airmail or Mailbird?

Thank you!

 

I read a lot of articles. In the past, I've used Pocket to access articles on all my devices.

I prefer to read on my e-ink tablet, where scrolling is a pain. So I need a read-it-later app that supports page-turning, the same way an e-book does.

Pocket used to have this feature, but they killed it with their most recent update.

Wallabag has this feature, but I find the Wallabag fonts ugly and unreadable.

Omnivore does not appear to have this feature.

Does anyone use a read-it-later app that supports page-turning?

Thank you!

 

The goal: See upcoming events from various NYC venues in one place, possibly my Google Calendar

The problem: Bars and venues all use different sites and apps to manage their event calendars, forcing me to check each venue's website individually. It sucks!

My best guess at a solution: Find a way to convert the venue's websites/calendars to RSS, then use IFTTT to convert the RSS feeds to Google Calendar entries.

  1. Is that the correct solution?
  2. Does anyone know the best way to convert these sites to RSS?

Here are the calendars that I need to convert:

And one newsletter:

These venues already use Google Calendar, so I've successfully imported them:

Thank you Software Options!

Switching DNS solved it for me! There's a guide here, under "How To Use This Service"
