Pixel owners, what are your first impressions of Android 14?
  • Is there any good reason why they flipped the camera switcher and photo library around? I've been constantly hitting the camera switcher by accident since the update to the camera app. Minor gripe, but I can't see the point of the switch.

  • Can you drive a manual transmission?
  • All my cars, bar one, have been manual transmission, as is my current one. To be honest, as I'm lazy, I do prefer auto, but it's easier to buy a car with manual transmission here in the UK, as you have more options.

  • No one really understands our struggle
  • For a moment there, I thought your second sentence was going to be confessing that you were also a landlord.

  • Since we need some discussion and activity, here are some of my must-watch tv shows.
  • One of the strengths of The Wire is that it's not just a "cop show", it's way more than that.

  • It gets really good after the first 31 episodes
  • Well, yeah, I get that, even if I don't find those episodes bad myself, but I do think episode two, Bojack Hates the Troops, is a really good satirical episode that shouldn't be missed.

  • Such beauty
  • Wimmy wham wham wozzle!

  • www.independent.co.uk Futurama has accidentally become a fascinating document of social change

    The acclaimed adult cartoon has been brought back from the dead – and not for the first time. It’s never going to recapture the brilliance of the original run, writes Louis Chilton, but the series’ stop-start history has made it a compelling record of changing cultural obsessions

    Futurama has accidentally become a fascinating document of social change

    I've just found this article about Futurama on The Independent, a UK newspaper. It comments on the changes in Futurama reflecting the changes in society in general.

    WTF???
  • Twatter?

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • DS9 - In the Pale Moonlight

    Great acting and a very compelling story that's not action driven, relying on its story, dialogue and fantastic acting. I mean, with top Garak and Sisko, what can go wrong?

  • Any good alternatives to browsers?
  • I've signed in a few times to lemmy.world using Firefox over the last week.

    Sorry for being the annoying "not for me" guy. ;-)

  • Lemmy.world sidebar doesn't stay collapsed

    Is there any way to keep the "Lemmy World" right hand sidebar on the main page collapsed after a refresh or when going back to the main page? It's quite long and I have to scroll a bit to get to my subscriptions below it. I collapse it, but it returns again and doesn't stick.

    At the moment, it's getting a bit annoying, especially seeing that I can collapse it, but it doesn't say that way.

    Other than that minor annoyance, all is good.

    Adobe Express doesn't work in Firefox
  • Glad that I was of some help.

  • Adobe Express doesn't work in Firefox
  • Is there a possibility that it's an issue with the desktop Firefox? Maybe it's sending "garbage" to Sync due to profile corruption, etc. The passwords in your desktop Firefox work fine? Maybe try clearing its cache, if you haven't already, or go nuclear by creating a new profile, then set it up as you want, and adding your passwords, then using that new profile to see if you can sync your passwords, etc. Sorry, but other than that drastic action, I'm out of ideas.

    One other thing, do your browser history and bookmarks sync?

  • Adobe Express doesn't work in Firefox
  • Ouch, that's not good.

    Have you tried force stopping and deleting the cache in Firefox for Android? Maybe you might need to clear its data and reinstall Firefox for Android again, which might force Sync to work. It's possible your profile is corrupted. You might well lose some settings if Sync doesn't repopulate, but it seems that you've already lost stuff due to Sync not working.

  • Adobe Express doesn't work in Firefox
  • My desktop Firefox syncs my passwords to Firefox for Android quite well.

    However, yeah, I do think that Firefox's development over the years has gone a bit awry with the attempt to out-Chrome Chrome. It's still the best browser out there, though.

  • The Orville @lemmy.world Gort @lemmy.world

    Let's hope that there'll be a season four

    Here's hoping that there'll be a season four of The Orville. It'd be a pity that the show would end without proper closure.

    Currently, it all seems to be rumour and nothing concrete about any upcoming season. Some of the actors say that there have been talks, so it seems that there might be some hope.

    I'm just putting this post up because this community is dead.

    I'll end this before Bortus tells me: "You shall be quiet!"

    Convince me to use Firefox over Brave
  • Why not try to convince yourself by actually trying it for a week. Do your own hands-on research, as you'll have a better appreciation of the browser. It's not as if your device is going to explode if you try something other than Brave.

  • Lemmy.world updated to 0.18.1-rc
  • Thanks for being both informative and open about this issue. Hope it works out.

    Edit: The first two versions of this post didn't seem to send: spinning post button. Maybe it's not fixed or it's struggling?

  • Lemmy.world updated to 0.18.1-rc
  • Thanks for being both informative and open about this issue. Hope it works out.

  • Question: Supporting Linux/Ubuntu, and Ubuntu Pro
  • My main question is this: Is it worth switching to Ubuntu Pro? Actually I see it’s >free for personal use on one computer.

    Actually, it's for five devices per pro user.

  • Question: Supporting Linux/Ubuntu, and Ubuntu Pro
  • There are also updates to 23,000 applications from Universe repository that don't usually get updates. At least that's what's claimed.

  • What privacy and security settings and add-ons do you use with Firefox?
  • Yes, it was bought by Avast.

    There is a fork of the extension called I still Don't Care About Cookies, which might suit you.

  • Font Sizing per Site for Firefox for Android

    One feature I'd love to see on Firefox for Android is the ability to resize the fonts per site. There's a general font resizing option that affects all sites, but it'd be great if there was an ability to have different setting per site. Sometimes making font sizes larger on one site will end up making other sites too large, and when lessening the size on some sites, makes them too small to read on others.

    I use Firefox for Android Beta, which means I can install a wider set of addons than Stable. I've tried Zoom Page WE on Firefox for Android, but it doesn't work, which is a pity.

    I suppose I should be putting this as a feature request at Mozilla, but thought I'd just air my thoughts here. Anyone know of any plans to introduce this sort of thing in future versions?

    Drop-down flickering on Lemmy website using Firefox for Android

    Anyone notice when on Lemmy and you go to choose some setting from the drop-down (Active, New, Old, Hot, etc) when using Firefox of Android, that the selection menu starts to flicker? I can select from it, but it does seem to interfere a bit doing so. Anyone else?

    Might be the effects of that bug that's causing Lemmy to constantly scroll new posts that's going to be fixed in the next Lemmy update (0.18).

    This is the latest Firefox for Android Beta, running on a Pixel 7 with Android 13.

    Edit: Actually, this seems to also happen on desktop Firefox (stable on Linux), just maybe not as noticeable.
