Replacing all ads with cat and dog videos

Out of the Lemmy apps I tried out, Voyager is the app I used the most, and it is definitely a great app! But I did miss the smoothness and customisability of Sync, so I will most likely use that on my phone from now on.

As much as I like Voyager, I do feel like there is some slowdowns/stuttering and feeling of the GUI not always doing what I intended to do. Not a lot, but enough to sit in the back of my mind.

That being said I’m still using Voyager on the iPad and also in the browser on my PC! (Which reminds me that I should try installing the Voyager app from the iPad app store, maybe that’ll actually fix the occassional slowdowns.)

Yeah they are empty on my phone too, and I’ve never used any DNS-adblocking on my home network. I suspect it might be because whatever ad system Sync uses currently just doesn’t have any ads for my country, but I don’t actually know.

I accidentally sorted by old once, saw a bunch of “testing” posts, it was kinda amusing.

Hmm, I’m getting “Connection refused”, seems like they are having server issues?

Integration with Google Assistant smart speakers is the main reason I would want to use Google Tasks instead of other Todo solutions. In particular, asking Google to add groceries to my shopping list while I’m cooking, so that I don’t need to bring out my phone and tap it in manually since my hands are occupied or dirty.

But the integration has sucked for so long that I had pretty much given it up. Maybe if it really actually works now (instead of putting my tasks into various other Google services), I will give Google Tasks another shot.

This sounds like it could be made into a video game lol

Everything old is new again

Man, that reminds me of an art installation that I saw many years ago, where an artist set up a bunch of home electronics in a completely dark room so that their LED lights looked like star constellations.

It was kinda beautiful and yet a reminder about all the “light pollution” we get from these devices, basically what you are talking about.

I tried to look up the name of the artist and that art installation, but couldn’t find it.

job interviewer: “do you work well under pressure?”

professional procrastinators: “it is the only way I know how to work”

I have an Android phone, but also an iPad, so I used to use Sync and Apollo. The best thing about Wefwef / Voyager is that I can use the same app on both devices now!

I have bad hearing, but I have a bad habit of just giving up after the first repeat if I still can’t fully hear what they’re saying, instead of asking people to talk more clearly because of my hearing issues.

On a slightly related note, it’s so sad that Lemmy is already getting an influx of bot users…

Didn’t the memes sub on Reddit end up adding a rule that only allowed original memes (that people have “handmade” themselves), to avoid excessive reposts? Heh.
