It’s called sarcasm.

Oh no! An ignorant stranger doesn’t like me! How will I cope?

Grow up.

Yes and a great demonstration of ignoring me thus far. Well done.

You got it, chief.

Bigot lol that’s funny though. You don’t even know me or how far off you are. My comment had literally 0 to do with the content, but go ahead make your judgments it’s really ok. Same response: nobody cares.

Yeah OP was asking precisely the opposite.

I never thought to ask this question before. How many of you are equally capable of using your right versus your left hand? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

I think ambidextrous is the appropriate term, no? Cross-dominance is more significant, while OP only said equally capable. Cross dominance is favoring each one for different applications.

The term is ambidextrous.

How would I find my phone if I didn't have a phone to find my phone with? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Yeah go on eBay and buy like a Samsung Galaxy one of the ones from a few years ago. Or an LG or a UMX or a ZTE or a Nokia. Any of those running a few Android versions back. You could get one that functions perfectly and other than being no competition to newer ones, they’re fully functional. Let me know if you decide you actually want to do this, I’ll hook you up with something cheap and reliable.

Options for Verizon Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900V) ROM (lemmy.world)
 

Hey all,

Want to know what are my options for example, Lineage 18, or AOSP Android, or something else. The reason I want to do this is it has Android 5 and there's just too much that won't work on it. Also I want more control as in remove junk I don't want, move apps to SD, etc. Not have stuff run and waste CPU and RAM.

If anyone has specific knowledge about this device and what's the best option, or even tell me what any given option offers best, that would be very much appreciated.

Does anyone know if any of these can be rooted or custom ROM very easily? (lemmy.world)
 

I don’t need it to be with zero effort, but most of the instructions I find these days on XDA forums are extremely ambiguous and assume the reader is someone who does this every day and therefore knows most of the steps and what the terminology means.

Years ago when I used to do stuff like this more, directions were written meticulously and without abridgment of any elements. Seems today it’s not common for someone to go to the effort.

I’m extremely proficient, that’s not the issue. It’s just most instructions say stuff like “Step 1: root the phone. Step 2…” I’m like “whoa excuse me… how do I root this phone?”

Anyway, so all I’m asking is are there just comprehensive directions for any of these.

will ad-blockers in chromium follow suit when chrome discontinues them? (lemmy.world)
 

Hey all, I was about to setup uBlock Origin in chromium, when I saw the notice that it may soon be ended due to not following best practices, etc. I looked this up and some articles and posts state that Chrome is discontinuing content blockers / ad blockers soon. Will this apply to the chromium app in Linux?

Other than for testing purposes, my usage of Chromium is for the ability to make some sites into webApps. I just like some to be isolated with their own window and icon. The standard response I see to pretty much anyone is that they should switch to Firefox and stop wanting the webApp. I saw some comments that Firefox does not and will not implement webApps due to some security issues (?? not sure why). I don't understand how it is difficult just make a standalone window with a custom icon choice. I see no reason that has to compromise anything at all, but I am not a developer.

I'm getting off-track here. So, is Chromium going to go the way Google wants it to go for Chrome? It was my understanding that Chromium is kind of an offshoot and not just up to Google in terms of its course. Will we be able to use extensions that Google doesn't want, and have to get them from a new repository instead of the chrome web store?

Any insight on this would be appreciated, thanks.

Is there a dock that responds to touch screen movement? (lemmy.world)
 

Hey, so I know you can tap on a dock icon to launch the app, but when the dock is more than full and requires scrolling to shift the icons, this still cannot be done with the touch screen, based on docks I have tested. I tried the built in docks in Gnome on Pop, Ubuntu, and also Plank. None respond to an attempted drag via the touch screen.

Are there any less widely known ones that do? Are there any plans to bring this functionality to the dock in Gnome?

Want to manage music on an old school iPod (lemmy.world)
 

Hey folks,

So, I have an old school iPod I got from someone it’s sweet and I want to put my music on it. Is there a decent app in Linux that will be able to do the sync of music? Or is it able to be just copied to like an external drive?

WINE / PlayOnLinux (www.playonlinux.com)

Hello all, In a previous installation I was able to successfully use PlayOnLinux to run a few Windows apps. My most recent system, though, is not liking it. Currently on Kubuntu 24.04

WINE is present and up to date. However, when I tried to install PON from either Discover, or using APT, the app crashes immediately. I never even get to the GUI. I read on the page for the app in Discover, numerous others complain about this exact problem.

Anyone know about this and how to resolve it?

I included the link to the app's website because there are numerous versions and it states you need to use the correct one. I don't know what those different variables mean, so could someone please advise? (deb files, Cosmic, Trusty, Bionic, Xenial.... etc. I don't understand these).

Thank you to anyone who can assist.

Kubuntu Night Control does not automatically change always (lemmy.world)
 

Yeah, so I have a notebook with Kubuntu 24.04.
I have Night Control setup for warmer color 8:00PM-8:00AM

Oftentimes I go to the computer to do something and I see it is in the wrong mode. I’ve not seen any pattern it’s just arbitrarily not switching over.

My lid close action is just turn off screen; no sleep mode (problems). So usually I am opening the lid and start to use the machine and then notice this.

Is this a known issue? Or does anyone else have this problem?
