On mobile I’d suggest Fennec instead of stock Firefox since you can use add-ons without limitation, and don’t need workarounds such as the Firefox nightly.

It’s basically stock with enabled add-ons, and following the official release cycle with 2-3 days delay. Maintained by the original developers of the F-Droid store, so also a highly trustworthy source IMHO.

I take it off for showering and the holes wear out from opening and closing it daily. I know they are waterproof, but don’t want to be wearing anything in the shower.

Got a MiBand as well. Had the first one, then the 3, and now I believe the 5 or 6.

Only replaced them because new wristbands were hard to come by after 2 years respectively, the battery was still going strong.

Now I’ve bought 10 straps right from the start and am only on number 4, another 2 years in. Let’s see if I can beat the battery this time.

The adapters are $1 on Aliexpress. Generally agree though, I’d prefer to have a headphone jack directly and be done with it.

A simple USB-C to 3.5" connector does the trick. No need for wireless headphones.

Agree. When my DVD player back in 2000 came with a bright blue power-on LED, that crap started to bother me. Sitting right under the TV, so watching anything in a darkened room means I had that fucker blinding me all the time. Nothing a little duct tape can’t fix, but that’s not exactly helping.

Ever since I’ve been actively avoiding devices where I can’t dim & disable the LEDs.

Jerboa 0.0.36, but there are some bugs that really bother me. But since Sync will hopefully come soon I don’t care enough to try others in the meantime, just waiting it out.

So I read the whole thing, and it sounds like highly opinionated ramblings of one individual I never heard of, with a catchy headline to rank high in current search trends.

This “here is why” bullshit was first used by Buzzfeed and other cringe clickbait generators and should be avoided like the plague.

I’d pay to watch that.

I used reddit 10x as much as Netflix, if not more. So I’d have been more than happy to pay the same price for all eternity to access the api.

Hell they could have given out individual api keys tied to usernames so that regardless of the app, you’d be fed input from the free tier (with ads & rate limiting) or pro tier (unlimited and no ads). That would also help to curb malicious bots and reduce the number of alts in the game.

But no, they chose the nuclear option and are now choking on the fallout. And Huffman’s erratic and hostile response further down the line really sealed the coffin for me.

Meh, I couldn’t care less. Never used anything but the basic features, and if anyone wants to throw money at them, that’s their choice.

As long as I’m not rate limited when using the regular chat in the free tier, I’m good.

Yep. Not OP’s fault, but clearly the author of the original article has no clue what they are even reporting about. And putting “We were hacked” after a colon sounds like a direct quote, which nobody in their right mind would have used in this context.

I’m not a fan. Any exploitable issue with the software, and my house can be viewed by anyone from anywhere.

I’ve got zero smart devices at home, to the point of even using my TV as a simple screen only.

That’s not quite how ads work.

You get fractions of a cent for displaying them, but the majority of the money comes from clicking, and the CTR (click-through-ratio) is how advertisers measure success.

If you’ve got the full solution on one page, users are more likely to engage in ads. If they follow a link off-site first and continue there, they are unlikely to engage.

Who?

Amen.

Yep, we opened up, polled the users, got told to keep it closed, and down went the shutters.

Just checked with older comments across channels on other instances, can’t replicate your problem anywhere. Very strange.

I haven’t noticed that behaviour at all. Are you using an app (which one?) or website (mobile, desktop? Which browser?)

Yep, same. For that reason I never really managed to get into mastodon, tried it for a bit and found the signup system too convoluted, then dropped it altogether. Though granted, I also never used Twitter, never understood why people liked it (and still don’t), so I tried mastodon out of curiosity, not actually looking for something.

With Lemmy it’s all different. I feel like I need to leave reddit and find a new community, so there’s an inherent desire to like it, which makes the adaptation way easier.
