Lemmy communities dedicated to Lemmy's frond-ends

I have been investigating if there is a community dedicated to Photon (a great Lemmy front-end) that doesn't seem to have an exclusive option to search for communities, does anyone know if there is an exclusive community for Photon (or Lemmy front-ends in general)?

Is it possible to disable/remove the speech-to-text button on Android in the address bar?
  • If I'm not wrong, Fennec (Firefox android fork) doesn't have that.

  • NSFW
    When you masturbate, do you prefer to lick your hand or spit it out?
  • That's something I don't really understand, I mean, why lubricate if the vagina itself is wet, right? My apologies if it sounds stupid or ignorant.

  • Blogging in the AI era
  • Care to share your website url? I get interested on it.

  • When privacy expires: how I got access to tons of sensitive citizen data after buying cheap domains
  • Some emails that came in looked as if they came from vulnerable people themselves, asking for help. It may be that they haven’t received or understood the message to update their address book.

    I did not interfere with any of the e-mails, as this would go beyond the objectives of this investigation, but it is concerning, to say the least, that these individuals will never receive a reply. They would not have received a response anyway, but it makes me wonder how many cries for help get lost in abandoned e-mail inboxes.

    This honestly depressed me, I know firsthand many people who need help from someone who has more or less knowledge to understand something as simple as the migration of a service or an email, it is really depressing not only to know that this happens, but also that There are people who are such bastards that take advantage of this.

    Could someone explain to me how the author gained access to "I forgot my password" accounts that were not his but were in his domain? I mean, I understand that it's on his domain, but just because I have the domain [email protected] does that mean I can redirect all emails to the main domain? Excuse the dumb question.

    Edit: Thanks for the clarification! Now I understand!

  • Rooting a Pixel 6 with GrapheneOS, it is possible?
  • Thanks for the explanation, I didn't know that worked like that.

  • Rooting a Pixel 6 with GrapheneOS, it is possible?

    So I really want GrapheneOS but I also want to have my phone rooted to have some features (like Aurora/Droid-ify background updates) but I don't know if this is incompatible and searching it on Google showed some old posts and forum discussions.

    I know and I understand that rooting my phone basically breaks the logic of using GrapheneOS, but I still want to do it, is it possible?

    I mean "possible" because from what I understand, when you flash a custom rom you need to format your whole phone, but the same process when rooting your phone, so it's possible?

    A proper Split View implementation
  • Everyone says "do it with your compositor" but I don't think anyone who says that has ever really tried the convenience of split view.

    My biggest problem with simply opening two Firefox tabs is that my tabs split, and sure, I can just drag them around, but for me (TWM user) I prefer to be able to do everything from the keyboard, and moving tabs between windows is not something that can be done do with key shortcuts

  • Filen automatic background upload
  • At least it's not a limitation for paying users but it still sucks, thanks for the info.

  • Filen automatic background upload
  • I didn't know about that and sounds very good, thanks.

  • Filen automatic background upload

    I really want to try Filen as my main cloud provider but my main brake point is that the app doesn't automatically upload my images in the background. I'm not sure if this is because I'm on the free plan or because of my device, has anyone had better luck with the automatic image upload in the background?

    Thoughts about Posteo?

    I've thinking about ditching my Protonmail email address with Posteo since I need IMAP support (because I hate using the Protonmail app) and honestly paying for Proton Mail Plus didn't worth the money because they are pushing me to buy the Protonmail Unlimited but I don't need all those capabilities nor would I use them and the best alternative I've found is Posteo and honestly I like it, I even got CalDAV support which I didn't have in Protonmail, but personally I don't know anybody who use Posteo, so I post this here.

    Do you think Proton Unlimited worth the price?
  • Does the background upload works for you?

  • Do you think Proton Unlimited worth the price?
  • I mean, yeah, but first I need to learn to self-host.

  • Do you think Proton Unlimited worth the price?
  • And what's your experience? Anything that you want to highlight?

  • Do you think Proton Unlimited worth the price?

    I've thinking about purchasing Proton Mail Plus only and just only to have IMAP support, but I've looked all the features that the Proton Unlimited Plan have, and honestly I believe it's worth, but I hate having all the eggs in the same basket.

    The features I believe worth the most are the 500GB storage, IMAP support, all the VPN servers with P2P and unlimited SimpleLogin aliases, but when I ask if it is worth the price I mean, the majority of those features I can have them having individually with others services and even at lower price.

    How are nvidia gpus with wayland nowadays? I read a while ago it was terrible, has it improved?
  • I currently have a Thinkpad W530 with a Quadro K2000M. Because I have coreboot as its firmware, I am able to run completely on the discrete GPU. So far I've been doing great.

    I've looked on the feature matrix of the nouveau support and my GPU (Kepler) happens to have all the features checked-off, with the exception of dynamic power management (mostly WIP).

    Right now, I'm running KDE wayland with the nouveau driver with no issue.

    On the other hand, I've tried having the hybrid GPU and it sucks.

    I'm not a bot, I just find funny this.

  • It is possible to interact with a Bluesky user or post on Lemmy?

    I have been looking for some of this on the internet but I can't find any information about it.

    No sΓ© si es problema de o de @kde pero es muy molesto. #GNULinux #Linux #KdeNeon #Plasma6 πŸ˜’
  • I used to have a problem like this, but it was specific to virtual machines, IDK if it's related.

  • Recommended instance to upload short videos
  • Dumb question, how do I know if I can upload videos without registering each instance and what size limit do they allow?

  • Peertube @lemmy.ml Xirup @lemmy.dbzer0.com

    Recommended instance to upload short videos

    I want to upload some videos to Peertube to share here in Lemmy, but I'm not sure how to find an instance where I can upload them.

    I don't want to be 'picky' since I know I'm using another person's hardware that costs money to maintain, but the majority of Peertube instances I had found the users can't upload videos at all, or have a ridiculous minimum of like 25 MBs per file... And I had found other instances where the user can upload anything he wants, but how do I know that instance will prevail? I mean I had accounts in multiple Peertube instances that after some time are unreachable, it literally gives you an nginx or 'page not found' error...

    I know I can host it myself and that's the best option, but I don't have the knowledge or hardware to do it.

    Looks like Google is making life more difficult for deGooglers
  • I suppose in the case where I'm using Google Play with a Google account, the most likely thing is that I'll be able to update without a problem because my account is in the country where the app is located, just that it's using the servers in the country where I live.

    In the case of the Aurora store of APKMirror, well, I'm fucked, I guess the only think that I can do is use the website of my bank, that I suppose this will be the case in many banks, the interface and the overall experience is worse than that of the app.

    To be honest, is just a shit that many, not to say all banking apps depend specifically on Google to work, it would not be a surprise to me that if I try to install my banking app extracting the APK for myself and then installing it on a deGoogled phone, the app will tell me that it requires Google to work or something like that.

  • Looks like Google is making life more difficult for deGooglers
  • I live in a Central American country where I simply can't find my banking app in Aurora Store or in APKMirror (or any of those sites), and when I search the app name in Google Play it's there, so I guess it has some kind of logic since the app uses anonymous Google accounts that are probably located in a country where it makes no sense that my banking app is there, I mean, why should my Central American banking app be shown in US for example?

    For Yiffit users that cannot use the instance

    I just saw in the admin Mastodon account that you need to clear your cookies, and that's it, which actually worked for me. I'm not sure why.

    Is it possible that Yiffit will stop being defederated with Lemmy.ml in the future?

    I have been an active user of different Lemmy.ml communities for a long time but for personal reasons I want to migrate from Dbzer0 to Yiffit, unfortunately to my surprise Lemmy.ml stopped federating with Yiffit a few months ago and honestly it saddens me because there are communities like c/linux, c/privacy, c/firefox, c/fdroid that are extremely useful and I love to participate in them.

    Is there any chance that Yiffit will be federated again? And why was it defederated from Lemmy.ml?

    The admin of Yiffit is an incredibly nice person and I'm sure he will want to come to collaborate to be able to federate again with Lemmy.ml. As a user I find it a little unfair not to be able to participate in these communities from this instance but I understand and respect that each instance has its own policies and decisions.

    Sometimes a good way to 'learn Linux' is to use a WM

    I have been using Linux for about 5 years and although I don't consider that I know much, I know enough to fix my own problems and that's usually enough for me.

    Since Plasma 6 was announced I wanted to test something other than XFCE, Gnome or Plasma (or any DE) so I give it a try with ArcoLinuxD i3wm and is increible the amount of things I learn the 'hard way' because there was no GUI to do the things I want to do, or maybe I was too lazy to do it with the terminal since there is always the 'easy way'.

    Things that might be very easy for a lot of people, but I never take the time to learn, like mounting drives, running programs from startup, setting environment variables, creating desktop entries, and a lot of other things I didn't even remember. I even learned to use things that used to give me a headache just looking at it, like Vim, xdg, the Archwiki (that is super useful) and the manpages.

    It's ironic because something that started as an experiment is now my daily drive, and now that Plasma 6 has been released, I don't want to leave i3 behind.

    Is the instance still accepting new users? (Yep, still does!)

    I don't mean to be annoying, but it's been some time since I submitted my registration request, and I still haven't received an update on it, so I don't know if it will ever be accepted.

    I feel like I am in an endless loop

    Every time I open e621 I spend between 30 minutes to 2 hours every day (or sometimes more than once a day) and it's because every time I open it there are ALOT of new posts and artists that I didn't even know existed and I look at all their posts and repeat.

    I'm not asking for help and I can control this, but it's like what the Youtube algorithm is for some people who spend a lot of time just scrolling without watching any videos.

    Honestly, it's impressive the quality that's in e621.

    Does this happen to you?

    How to use Alt+Tab Number to go beyond tab 9

    When you use Alt+Number you automatically switch to the tab that is assigned that number, but when you have more than 9 tabs Alt+9 just switches to the last tab instead of opening tab number 9, and you can't go beyond tab number 9 either, is there any way to go to tabs beyond 9 with Alt+Number?

    New on Tf2... I have almost 10 hours of gameplay and still not a single random drop.

    Maybe I'm forgetting something, but according to something I read, per week a user can get up to 10 random drops but I've been playing for almost 10 hours and I haven't got even one, why?

    How do you keep up with your favorite artists' posts? (e621)

    Personally I'm sure that if e621 had some kind of 'following' functionality I would probably follow hundreds of artists but as far as I know e621 doesn't provide this kind of functionality, so how I usually keep up with my favorite artists' posts it's just manually searching by their name but just as I said, I easily know more than a hundred artists and usually going one by one is pretty tiring, besides, how am I supposed to know the name of each artist? I barely know by heart the name of the ones I usually look for, but there are many others that I just favorite a post I like and forget about them, because I forget their name and I have many favorites...

    How to change Firefox file dialog in i3wm? [Solved]

    I wish to change the default Nautilus file dialog that Firefox uses, to Dolphin (my main file manager) but I cannot find any solution. Every single time I download an image, Nautilus is opened instead of Dolphin.

    I tried adding GTK_USE_PORTAL=1 to my env variables, and It didn't work, then I tried changing mimetype and also did not work, I also tried modifying the xdg-portal (sorry if I'm wrong) to use xdg-desktop-portal-kde instead, but I cannot accomplish this since I didn't understand at all the Arch wiki and IIRC some files aren't exactly where the Arch wiki was pointing them.

    As a last attempt, I open about:config in Firefox and search for widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal and set it to True, and still I keep having that old Nautilus as my file picker in Firefox, and this last thing usually worked well for me in Plasma.

    Edit: I just restarted my pc and now randomly seems that Dolphin it's the file dialog for Firefox, I don't have a single clue how this happen.

    Do you think that people who don't use Linux think that people that use it are hackers?

    I've been using Linux for the past 5 years, and recently I change from DE to WM (i3) which change it my whole workflow. Now I use a lot more the command line to do even simple things.

    Recently I note that some relatives called me 'hacker' and I find that kinda funny, may be because I'm so accustomed to the terminal and to i3 that I don't notice that "it looks like a hacker thing".

    Any news about multicommunities?

    I've been using the stable release and I'm fine with it, but a feature that I really miss is the multicommunities (or multireddits, how it's called in Infinity).

    Does anybody know if the 'multicommunity' feature it's already in Eternity Nightly or it's still WOP?

    Edit: Never mind, I installed Eternity Nightly and the PR for the multicommunities feature is already merged, it works as intended although if you try to add a community that you don't follow the app just crash, but apart from that, it works!

    State of Battlebit in 2024?

    I been tempted to buy Battlebit and I know it's a great game, but I just wanted to know which is the state of the game to this moment.

    It still receive updates? Can I find matches easily? How it's the development?

    And, by the way, how is this game compared to Battlefield 2042? I love Battlefield 2042 despite its problem, but something that I simply cannot fight against it's the fact that the game does not run on Linux because of their anticheat...

    FPS drops at random intervals [SOLVED]

    Sometimes, at completely random intervals, my FPS just drops and keeps dropping until I reset my game. The only thing that at the moment has worked is playing 720p, all low at 30FPS VSync off, and honestly, I hate this, although I love the game so I can live with it but I wish I can improve it somehow.

    Sometimes, when I see a mountain in the distance my fps just drops to 20 and stays like that permanently, but when I restart the game I can see the mountain without any fps drop...

    Usually it comes to a point where I feel like I'm dragging my mouse because of the input lag.

    I have a GTX 1650s 4GB, 16GB RAM and a Ryzen 5 5500, and I use Arch Linux with i3wm, I know it's not the best setup and Palworld uses UE5 which is a high demand hardware graphic motor, but I have read about people playing on even lower hardware than me and they apparently can play perfectly.

    Edit: Just add -dx12 to your game parameters at that's it, it runs as it should.
