Eternity hasn’t been updated in 4 months, in that time Lemmy itself got some really nice features like scaled sorting and instance blocking, but that’s not something that we can do yet since there haven’t been any updates...
Swiping left or right on home to switch apps doesn’t work. Swiping up on home to bring recent apps works so so. It’s slow to trigger or have to swipe almost at top of the screen. Going back to home is also slow. Wallpaper is immediately show but icons take 3/4 seconds to appear. With buttons it’s instant. With other apps no problem.
I am using nova latest beta on Android 14 with a OnePlus 12. As it is fairly recent maybe it still need optimization.
I’m happy to adopt a new podcast app if it has sponsorblock natively or through a plug-in. Otherwise let me know if there’s some other way to make it work. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work as all of the segments tagged for skipping are crowdsourced which would also work for Podcasts.
Since simple mobile tools will soon become a spyware and I use 3 of their apps regularly, yesterday I installed F-Droid after reading many Lemmy recommendations....
Sadly, I don’t think so. Searching about that I found out they switched to GTK3 interface being default just before GTK4 was released… And making the switch from GTK2 took a long time.
Firefox users are reporting an 'artificial' load time on YouTube videos. YouTube says it's part of a plan to make people who use adblockers "experience suboptimal viewing, regardless of the browser they are using."
Hope there will be movement from some governments to forbid having no choice about store for apps. I don’t know about iPhone but is there really no other way but apple store to install app? Apart from jailbreaking? If so I am concerned nothing has / is already been done about forcing their stores on users.
It has now emerged that after being informed that Safari was likely to fall under the DMA’s regulations, Apple filed formal a response to the European Union claiming that Safari is, in fact, “three distinct web browsers.” The company’s claim is based on the argument that Safari for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS are entirely...
Maybe there is something I don’t understand but is it possible to install and use macOS safari version on iOS? I don’t understand how it can be a good / serious argument from Apple ???
I would think to be compliant with regulation you should effectively be able to install an alternative on your device? Which I believe is possible since there is a firefox on iOS. Even though as far as I know all browser on iOS are powered by the same underlying engine.
So true… Not only sometimes it makes it hard to find the translated function name (especially since they are adding a lot of new functions) but there are quite often longer… For instance in French you go to a simple ifs to si.conditions…
With recent beta, besides creating a custom collection, you can now install directly from extensions pages. You may have to toggle desktop to make it works.
Some people seem to really enjoy the articles posted by the content bot, but others seem to think that the bot post too many articles and clog up their RSS feeds. Come give us your opinion in the straw poll.
Fully agree. Instead of having a bot posting articles there should be a sticked thread or a wiki to list interesting sources and their RSS. User could add them to their RSS client if they want. When they have a reaction then they could share on Lemmy and comment it.
Most 3rd party Reddit apps supported this, and some other Lemmy apps do as well (e.g. Connect). Using an internal browser is nice because it doesn’t take you out of the app, and also doesn’t store browsing history by default....
What’s the difference with using custom tabs? It already allows you to open link without leaving app. If it is mainly about browsing history I guess you wouldn’t want to have history no matter which app you used and so you could set custom tabs to open in private mode by default. (At least you can with Firefox)
I have installed both uBlock Origin and NoScript in Firefox. Does it make sense to use both at the same time? I was wondering whether or not uBlock Origin is able to do everything that NoScript does. If not, what does NoScript have that uBlock Origin does not?
It may be available but there is no more development and GitHub repo has been archived in 2021. I believe it was because you could do what uMatrix does with ublock but I can’t find Gorhill statement from back then.
Look interesting but I don’t understand why 2023? When checking to add it to my watchlist it seems to have been released last year? Did it fails to get distributed to theatre and now it will?
Are there any active forks of Eternity/Infinity, or should we keep waiting for an update?
