What’s the difference between Orbit and Tor Browser? I always wondered why people download Orbot instead of Tor Browser?

Probably 2 to 3 times a month. I find a book I want to read, put it on hold (if it’s checked out), then check it out when it becomes available. I am very grateful to my local, public library. I have two garbage bags of old books in the trunk of my car waiting to be dumped off at the local, public library. They always (so far) take my old used books.

I just started using it, after dumping my paid Textra app after I learned it had 9 trackers.

I haven’t had a lot of usage with it yet, as I’m not a big texting person. It looks good so far. I wish it had a feature to text myself to provide myself with quick notes. Other apps have it and the text doesn’t actually go out to SMS and back which is nice.

Also wish it had the ability to copy specific text in a message. Currently it only lets me choose an entire message to copy.

I also don’t see a way to send an audio clip.

Does it provide quick reply suggestions? If not, that would be nice to have.

Has anyone been able to successfully get Firefox working on Android with Adguard (v4.1) installed? Firefox works fine when I have Adguard disabled. But when it is enabled, Firefox always warns of a malicious site no matter the site I enter into the URL edit box.

I found numerous pages that talk about what to do, but none have really made sense and most are for much older versions so the directions no longer apply (i.e. click here, do this, etc., in other words the UI has changed since then).

I think there’s a certificate or something I need to install, but can’t seem to figure it out.

No, sorting text in the document. Sort all lines in document.

From this:


<span style="color:#323232;"> Paper

</span><span style="color:#323232;"> Altitude
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> A better book
</span>

My question is regarding Android apps. I thought that was implied by the community name. My apologies for the confusion.

No, looking for a text editor. Seems simple enough and it’s very useful.

JoeClu,
@JoeClu@lemmy.world avatar

I am aware of that route. But I’m looking for a text editor that will do it. You know, select some rows, click tools->sort. Seems easy enough.

I see. I switched from emacs to vim years ago and now I’ve forgotten most of the key chords in emacs. Nevertheless, seems like an awful way to edit files on a small android device. I tried vim for android and it was quite challenging. Not something I want to repeat.

JoeClu,
@JoeClu@lemmy.world avatar

Do you? I’ve tried. Not fun. I use vim everyday on my workstation. On Android tiny keyboard, hard pass.

That’s how I pronounce it, just to be weird. I also say ja-lap-oh-no and kay-so-dilla.

Some perspective would always be nice, or a distance legend. Like, could you see a human from that distance? A football stadium? A banana?

This is what I like about the fediverse. I asked a similar question on Reddit a long time ago. Got a snarky comment “it is what it sounds like” and nothing else.

Thanks for answering.

How do they deal with progressive lenses, like top top is for long distance gradually further down is for closeup like reading?

I think that is what had prevented me from trying the online stores. Has that been addressed?

JoeClu,
@JoeClu@lemmy.world avatar

I mean, they need to measure where your eyeball lands on the glass when looking straight ahead. This isn’t part of the prescription, from what I understand. Usually, a salesperson will do the measuring. In light of this, do you have any further information as to how your father obtained that information and how he provided it to the online store?

JoeClu,
@JoeClu@lemmy.world avatar

No, it isn’t PD.

Sysop… reminds of the good ol’ BBS days. What a great time that was.

It was certainly iconic. Felt like the glory days of computers, networking, and user groups. I always got that excited feeling like when you’re a kid and anything is possible! It was before extreme specialization, and you literally could learn everything. It was a time when we felt like we had something special before the masses were even aware of it.

Then ISPs popped up, and we ditched our modems and BBS’s for IRC and Usenet. Still before the masses were aware. Still a special time.

Then, eventually, corporations got wind of a new market to target, and the masses moved in. They used ridiculous names like portals, email chains, properties, social media, etc., and everything went to shit fast. It felt like something special was taken away from those of us who were at the beginning. It lost that special feeling and turned toxic in no time.

Some embraced it, but more rejected it and would not dare join Facebook or MySpace or wherever corporate, ad-infested places the lemmings amassed. Instead, we created niche places a bit too technical for the sheeple to follow. We became rebels of conformity. And then, we became old and obsolete.

It was a concurrent evolution and devolution as we were thrown toward the modern-day internet.

Regardless of how it turned out, I am very thankful and glad I was a part of that early, amazing culture!

I’m waiting on book 4 from the public library (Cibola Burn). I heard book 4 was even better then the first 3. I’m eager to read it.

The first murderbot book (All Systems Red) is in my queue.

I’m going back and forth still between Connect and Sync. Two reasons: can’t post from Sync yet and 2) lots of failed to load image bugs in Sync (which oddly enough, preview works fine for those images that failed to load).

I do this all the time. I pull up an editor, take notes on something I’m doing because I can’t always fit it all in my mind I don’t need to save the note cause, it was just a temporary place to store data/info/thoughts.

JoeClu,
@JoeClu@lemmy.world avatar

Maybe packrats of the mind? Really requires an extremely good search engine for all that. I find that storing everything doesn’t work for me because, ultimately, I have trouble finding it again.
