Why are you so angry? Do you want to talk about it?

“Frankly, sorry, this perspective of “anything I haven’t subbed I obviously don’t like” is pretty fuckin stupid. Don’t feel bad though, you aren’t alone thinking it.”

Likewise, I think it’s really stupid to be looking at content you have zero interest in. And likewise, don’t feel bad though, you aren’t alone.

Thanks for the belittling tone of your statement there 😉. You just have a different point of view.

How can you waste so much time looking at content that you have zero interest in? Don’t you have stuff to actually do in life, or are you one of these people that get bored because you’ve got nothing to do?

I’m a person that never gets bored. I always have something I want to do. I don’t have time to be doing things that aren’t necessary to survive and things I don’t enjoy.

I know who I am, and what I like. My interests are quite broad and I know what I don’t want to see. I prefer to white list my interests on Lemmy than black list the things I have zero interest in. Even thought my interests are quite broad, white listing is significantly shorter. In an infinite number of interests, my 1000 interests are significantly shorter than infinity-1000.

Edit: When I gain a new interest, which is usually a sub interest of another interest I have then I’ll look for the community on Lemmy/Reddit/other forums.

When I first started Reddit many years ago I learnt that all is usually full of rage bait content. I avoid rage bait as much as possible. I guestimate that all on Lemmy is exactly the same since most Lemmy users were/are Reddit users.

Why do you want to browse stuff that you have zero interest in? I imagine it to be a massive waste of time.

I’d prefer to view only the communities I’ve subbed to and see that there is no new contributions than look at stuff I have no interest in because I can turn off Lemmy and do something else with my day.

I think voting should be as what was originally set out by Reddit; I don’t know if it’s still in their guidelines. The voting system indicates the relevancy of the contribution and whether it adds to the discussion or not. Spam and off-topic contributions gets shoved to the bottom and everything else rises to the top.

Obviously most people on Reddit these days use it as a like/dislike, agree/disagree voting system as well.

Does Lemmy instance owners and community mods ban people for having a different opinion that’s so benign?

Some Reddit mods attempt to be authoritative and ban people who hold different opinions to themselves. I know I have and I stay out of subs that relate to politics, the news, and anything divisive really.

Nftables ables your NFTs 😂

By pasting content, I meant pasting images. I’ve just checked it and it doesn’t do it yet. I often will take a screenshot but only copy the image because saving it pointless.

We need a NOVA replacement with how they’ve recently restructured the company. It looks like NOVA is getting squeezed for the last few cents they’ve got to offer by whom ever bought the company 1-2 years ago.

I’ve tried every other launcher I could find. In my opinion they all seemed to be minimalistic by design or they just lacked features.

Does the futo keyboard allow you to paste content yet?

I briefly used it but found the lack of content pasting too much of a hindrabce.

I find it weird that they upload content to their own servers even when you provide them with an external link.

Or they could just compression for their PNGs. PNG is a lossless format so they’ll only lose a fraction of a second during creation.

How do you find seeders of rare content?

You could turn off the DHCP server on your router and let your server handle it. You can then tell your clients to use Pi hole via the DHCP running on your server

Who says the ISP isn’t blocking ports via a firewall?

I thought it was common practice for ISPs to block certain ports for residential connections?

How strange. You would think the star rating would always show regardless of regional settings and you would think reviews are also shown but with a translate button next to each review given that’s not the same as what’s set in your regional settings - the same as on Google Maps.

The Play store link I provided doesn’t show a rating to you?

Why do you believe I haven’t found the correct one?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.markusfisch.android.pielauncher

Edit: I’m looking at the Play store since F-Droid doesn’t have ratings or feedback. I look for apps on the Play store, find something interesting, and then look for the F-Droid version.

I don’t see the hate for storing data in a sqlite database. It’s still your data, you get to do with it as you please, and I’ve yet to see the data encrypted (let’s not give anyone any silly ideas here). You want to see your data outside of the program, just download any sqlite viewer. If you don’t mind CLI, then the tools provided by sqlite are more than good enough and are only a few MB in size.

Everyone I’ve tried from the Play store feels too basic compared to Nova or their rating is too low because of bugs.

Edit: in hindsight it looks like I’m a paid shill for Nova. This isn’t the case at all. I’ve been looking at launchers for the past few weeks as I recently realised I’ve had the same set up style for over a decade. I don’t want to be the person stuck in the past doing stuff the slower and archaic ways when there are newer and better ways of doing things. I currently have over 20 launchers installed on my phone and I’ve been slowly trying some.

It currently has a rating of 4.1. It looks like it has some bugs and some cause it to crash.

It currently has a rating of 3.7. It looks like it has a lot of bugs.
