Linux@lemmy.ml•How to solve wi-fi problem on Macbook Air mid 2013?English
2·1 month agoI installed mint. Used USB WiFi adapter, or shared phone as tethered WiFi over USB, can’t remember what one. Opened the drivers app on mint. It asked me to install the proper drivers. Done. No issues since.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Australians soon facing age checks when viewing adult websites [& search engines, social media, file sharing, etc, etc]English
11·2 months agoIm surprised this is the first Ive heard, and so little response. Who do we petition, when’s the march?
Regarding privacy breaches I agree with your tips but its not Google play specific. Fdroid apps can do the same and random apks from links or github can be worse.
Some dont get security updates. Others still share data with google. As I understand it.
Yeah. That’s ops whole point.

7·2 months agoSorry for your shitty situation.
Try this. No root needed. I’m pretty much google free on FP5 (and others).

Removes most google apps and services.
Also try not to ever sign into google on your phone directly. Use Aurora Store, DAVX, Thunderbird etc.
Does that auto tile though?

2·3 months agoPretty sure the dev did add sponsor block but in another repo/app name. Or maybe it was another dev. Anyway Tubular is new pipe with sponsor block, snd PipePipe is a hard fork with other extras.

Linux@lemmy.ml•if you use GrapheneOS on a pixel device, is it something you'd recommend for a privacy worried user? How seamless is running it after install?English
2·3 months agoIf I’m running mostly f-droid apps, and play services is not installed (e.g. I cant run YT-Revanced as it needs gapps).
Then does that mean I should be able to move over to graphine without much issue?

Open Source@lemmy.ml•KDE's Android TV alternative, Plasma Bigscreen, rises from the dead with a better UIEnglish
2·4 months agoTried this 6-9 months ago and it was a shambles that I could hardly get working.
The main issue (once it was working) was program (Stremio) not supporting keyboard only options.
I also wanted to run android apps full screen (like a dog nvidia shield) but it was chaos.
I thought it was abandoned.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Recommendations for eBook reader devices, pleaseEnglish
1·5 months agoAm I right in thinking the steps here scrape metadata images etc for the eBooks you already have. And that you may already own them via legal or high seas methods.
Or is there a way for Calibre to auto download eBooks from somewhere.
Implying Lemmy is the best/only place to get political news. :/
Some of us come here for fun and get our doom elsewhere.
I think the whole key is more of a conversation starter than just QR code. We all know what they are and dont ask people questions aboit them.
Does it have persistence when rebooted ?

2·6 months agoDo these health risks apply to phones :/?
Haha. America. So funny. Am I right.
I learnt so much about that horrible place fr the Breaking Bad documentary. Seeing a teacher have to sell meth jut to pay for cancer treatment. So sad.
I’ll give you one more prayer to help y’all. Thst will save little Timmy and his rotten teeth.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Recommendations for eBook reader devices, pleaseEnglish
4·10 months agoGot a libre2 recently as a gift. My first ereader. I was able to plug it into the PC. Change a line of code and reboot.
Thst made the email prompt go away.
Then installed koreader and syncthing on it. I DL books on Android and it syncs over to Kobo. I can even read via koreader app on andrpid and it syncs progression.


Somone on Lemmy made an distro chooser flowchart a few days back. It was pretty good.
