Data savings for android
  • Do you uBlock origin installed?
    It should block ads n unnecessary stuff to save some data.

    You could filter/block images and audo/video/media(from all websites or some specific websites) if you want to save even more data.

    $image,media,important
    Adding that in your filter list would block all images and media, from all websites. You can adjust it for the specific websites that you want it to affect.

  • What are your favorite DE's that you use on a laptop?
  • Thank you.

    If you haven't tried them, I recommend giving them a try. They all have something to offer.

    I have tried them on desktop and in most cases, I did not have any serious issue with them. I was thinking which one would be better optimised for laptops.

    KDE handled things very well

    I'm on KDE now. It's good. Was thinking whether there are any DE's that are specifically recommended for laptops, for efficiency or ease of use.

  • What are your favorite DE's that you use on a laptop?

    I have tried out Gnome, KDE, Lxqt and Xfce on a regular desktop and all of them feel nice. I haven't tried many DE's on a laptop. Are there any particular DE's you like on a laptop, because of things like power consumption and efficiency that would not come normally into consideration for a desktop?

    What disros works on low end, slow, very outdated pc's?
  • best option

    Ubuntu is popular and new-user friendly. And xfce is generally lighter on resources. It's a good choice.

    What can I do

    Almost everything.
    Some proprietary apps you've used from windows may not be available, but equivalent ones would be available on linux.
    Stuff like browsing the web(provided that you don't open too many tabs, because you have low ram) and watching movies n all is quite good.
    What all things fo you intend to do on it? I think it'll be easier to check that the things you want are there.

  • What is your proudest accomplishment that you never get a chance to talk about?
  • Android phones have the Android OS from Google(or a modified version by the manufacturer of the phone).
    We can install other unofficial versions of Android(modified by other people).

    Thid link maybe useful for understanding the term Flashing:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firmware#Flashing

    But it is risky, as there is a chance that it can go wrong 'brick' your phone. It's named so, because on failure, your phone may become unresponsive and would only be as useful as a brick or paper-weight.
    There's hard-bricking and soft-bricking, where the latter is used when the bricking can be fixed/reversed.

    This link maybe better at explaining than I am:

    Favorite Science Fiction Anime / Manga
  • Hsve seen LotGH and Blame. They're quite cool. Haven't seen the other two. Will try those out, so thank you

    Both of these anime are quite meaningful for me, similar to LotGH. The species vs species strife and conclusions of the protags, everything is impactful.

    • Psycho-pass
      Probably the most popular among the ones I mentioned.

    • Vampire Hunter D 2000
      This one would be loosely sci-fi, with strong amounts of mythical fantasy.
      The art is beautiful and the overall theme and execution seems unique, even if it's not as deeply involving as the previous 3(might be because of the overall length of the content).

    And regarding LotGH, did you watch the remake or the original series? I've heard that both are good. Is it so?

  • God's Own Country (Kerala, India) @lemmy.ml aMalayali @beehaw.org

    റെഡ്ഡിറ്റിൽ നിന്ന് ആളൊന്നും വന്ന് തുടങ്ങിയില്ലേ?

    6Kerala n 6L_S are part of the blackout. So, I thought that some people would've tried out lemmy and started an active community. Cool to see that this one predates the blackout.

    Is there some way to export/extract bookmarks from Android Firefox without using FF's online sync?

    FF's sync can be used to get the bookmarks onto a pc and then it can be exported. I've tried that and I do know that it works.

    is there any other way to get it on Android Firefox(the stable/regular one, not beta or nightly, and on a non-rooted device). Is there any option to extract the bookmarks using usb debugging or so?
