Why is my phone screen's orientation failing to stay locked and how do I fix it?
I have a Samsung Galaxy A71 5G. This usually only happens a few times a week, but my phone seems to be very confused by kbin. I have to hold it vertically or it will switch to landscape orientation every single time. It's annoying. Any ideas?
@HotDogFingies on kbin specifically (if you're using the progressive web app PWA) it currently bypasses your phones landscape or portrait lock. Even on my phone with Android 13, if I've switched off auto rotation and rotate the site it still rotates
That's apparently a bug that's going to be fixed at some point.
I'm unreasonably sad about saying goodbye to Reddit, even if I know it's the right thing to do. I've joined up here (new and different, help), with you lovely humans, and Mastodon (cool, but I'm not into Twitter's format so much).
Should I keep the RIF app? Should I delete my Reddit account? I'm really, really going to miss the hundreds of weird, niche subreddits I had accumulated. I'll miss those communities, large and small.
Do you think things will get better or should I just bite the final bullet? I think I know the answer, but I need a bit of a push.
@HotDogFingies I agree with you about being unreasonably sad.. For better or for worse, I used reddit daily for a little over 6 years. And it's naive for me to say I'll never use it in any capacity again. Unfortunately there is just so much useful info to be found there, and I have some serious doubts that the protests will lead to anything substantial.
But, I think it's really exciting to see all of these alternatives popping up! Theres so much to learn, and breaking my own status quo has been really fun so far, even if it feels frustrating sometimes. Plus, I've been tired of feeling like a mindless slave to the corporitized social media. The fediverse not only feels like a breath of fresh air, but it also has potential to be the future of social media by putting the power in the people's hands.
I've personally never been a part of something this new, and I'm willing to put in the work to help them work through their growing pains. I think you should too!
