I'm afraid not. Only open source way of achieving that, that I can think of would be self hosting stable diffusion and using web ui on your phone. Which probably wouldn't be really easy nor convenient.

A long shot would be making a feature request for ImageToolbox to implement something like that.

So, there are 2 main places for shortcuts/actions: tracker actions and edge actions.

These are my tracker actions

I set it so it activates when I tap and hold the tracker, it shows up those shortcuts. If I slide my finger towards one of the shortcuts, it activates it.

These are my edge actions

These are actions/shortcuts that you trigger by pushing the cursor to the edge of the screen.

You can pick any app from your phone or any of the actions available in the app, there are a lot... Like system controls (volume, brightness control, media playback buttons, screen lock, screen rotation, etc.) and you can also make a shortcut for Tasker/MacroDroid/Automate action. So basically, you can make a shortcut for almost anything you can think of.

I think it might be possible only in the paid version, but that's exactly how it works, you just have to increase the Cursor area in Swipe zones settings.

And it does stay under the Twilight if you give Twilight the accessibility permission.

I think you are missing the point of the app. The cursor part of it is more of a gesture, or you can think of it as a "thumb extension". The point is to help you avoid the inconvenience and save time by allowing you to reach farther parts of your screen without repositioning your hand. I called it a "phone touchpad" just because, when you activate it, a part of the screen is acting like a touchpad. You are not using it for a specific purpose of having a cursor on your phone, the cursor is basically just the tip of your "virtual extended thumb". So it's a utility/accessibility software.
Using a physical mouse would be the opposite of what this app is trying to achieve.

On Android, it's probably a little utility software called Quick Cursor (it's not FOSS). It's incredibly convenient being able to spawn a cursor on your phone from thin air that you can use to reach the "unreachable" portions of your screen, especially if you are holding your phone with one hand. Besides being a "phone touchpad" it has a bunch of ways of triggering actions/shortcuts, for example: volume or brightness control, launching an app (I use it for launching a floating calculator, notes...), opening notification shade, copying text (it can copy any text that is under the cursor, even if it's not selectable)...

It's not that I couldn't go without it, but it changed the way I use my phone and it would feel really weird without it. It feels like it should be a part of the OS.

Settings shortcut: Comment options > Display navigation bar


Click on that 👆, it will take you to the setting that you need to turn off.

I still use Sync but Thunder looks really promising. Very nice UI and tons of customization options.

The app (locally, on your device) checks if someone from your contact list installed (became available) on Signal, and if they did, you get notified by the app.

 

And it shares your phone number with everyone in your contacts who has Signal installed.

Someone can get notified only if they already have you in their contact list (so they already have your phone number), and have Signal installed.

 


I still wish you could choose if you want others to be notified tho...

And watch what exactly?

 

It happens rarely, but I will notice either my phone or the charger getting pretty toasty randomly. What could be causing this?

 
 

Is this a common knowledge? Is this an old feature? I accidentally found about it few days ago.

 
 

Using this alternative front end mlmym. (example: https://old.lemmy.world/, https://old.lemmy.ca/, https://old.lemmy.sdf.org/ )

 

I partially know the answer to this question...You cannot host videos directly on Lemmy, but that is understandable, video hosting is pretty expensive, but Lemmy also doesn't support video embeds(videos don't play within Lemmy), which means that you will have to open the link in a new tab/window to watch it. Which is pretty annoying/inconvenient, and that is probably the main reason why video/gif posts are just not popular here. Even if someone does post it, users mostly can't be bothered to open it.

I've read somewhere that this is intentional and that is "privacy and security matter". But that kind of doesn't make sense to me. Alright, I understand how it can be a privacy concern, since the sites on which the videos are hosted can track you. But we switched from Reddit...Not really known for being privacy friendly... People that are concerned about their privacy will know what to do/not to do.

I'm not knowledgable enough to understand how it can be a security matter. I guess if the video is hosted on a malicious site...But wouldn't that be easily solved by simply allowing only trusted, well known sites?

Video is simply the most superior type of media there is, and I think that not having easy access to it on Lemmy is hurting it.

Are there any other reasons why we don't see video posts on Lemmy, and are there any plans to make videos more easily consumable on Lemmy?
