Does anyone want this? Did anyone enjoy this game back in the day?

Upvoted for the adorable photo of a red panda :)

Permission Manager X gives the user fine grain control over pretty much every permission an app has, moreso than the built in Android permissions settings. I was trying to use it to keep certain apps from starting automatically at boot.

As far as the hardware tweaks, my Xperia has an “assistant button” on the side of the phone, but since I don’t use google assistant or anything, Xposed Edge Pro lets me remap it to do basically anything, even when the screen is off. I have it set to play/pause my music even when the screen is off, but only if headphones are connected.

AdAway, AFWall+ (for restricting network access to apps), Root File Explorer (needed to get my watch working with GadgetBridge), Permission Manager X, Xposed Edge Pro (for hardware keys remapping), Pixels (for a hardware display fix)

Sony Xperia 1 iii – LineageOS w/microG

This reminds me of a Youtube series a guy did called When Phones Were Fun.

I had the Touch Pro 2 and loved it! Windows Mobile was a complete mess in the best possible way.

Nonono. To hell with that phone and that company. i bought one and it just now got delivered, three years later.

It’s underpowered and a broken mess. And the keyboard isn’t the best, which is insane for a phone whose whole selling point is the keyboard. I was expecting it to be on par with my old Sidekick phones. Nope. So disappointing.

Yeah this is my solution. I run Bluebubbles on my Android phone and have the bluebubbles server running on an old mac mini.

This was a huge part of me being able to switch back to Android after being on iPhones for 6 years.

It deeply saddens me when people pay money for locked down hardware that’s not only designed to spy on them, but their family, friends, and neighbors as well. Ring, Amazon Echo, Google Home, that creepy Facebook robot screen…all insecure spyware.

We often have prices changed when a customer reaches checkout.

I know this isn’t your fault or anything but damn, that seems lightly customer hostile at best, and deeply unethical at worst. It sounds like it should be illegal.

No worries! :)

Yeah. I guess we shouldn’t expect that to change any time soon?

If that’s the case, maybe public votes is the best way to go.

You should not be ashamed of your vote history.

I agree, people shouldn’t be ashamed of their vote history unless they are trying to harass a person or community with a pattern of downvotes.

I still don’t want to be harassed for my voting though, nor will I be pressured into defending my votes if a user brings it up.

Who determines the quality of one’s posts though?

The users? Users are reactionary and often vote based on how a post influenced their feelings. It probably works on Stack Exchange because the scope of the forum is solving technical problems.

Downvotes can be useful in certain contexts, like when you visit a thread and are looking for factual information, such as the answer to a tech question. I don’t want to accidentally follow someone’s bad advice because the bad advice didn’t have any downvotes nor any responses as to why it was wrong.

It’s not perfect, but voting is a quick, often effective method of fact checking.

It would encourage harassment the same way comment history does: someone goes looking for it, sees it, and attacks the person over it.

Aren’t we all supposed to be Linux nerds in here?

No! :) The most Linux I use is a Steam Deck.

I feel votes should be visible to admins but otherwise anonymized and private, or else I fear vote-harassment could become a forever-problem on Lemmy. As a woman who has been harassed on Twitter and Reddit in the past, I strongly urge the Lemmy community to embrace privacy on this issue. If there’s any way to make votes more private between users, we should do it.

If we don’t and users get harassed, they might leave. Lemmy needs more women. And you all are great but Lemmy also needs people who aren’t Linux nerds! Lemmy needs diversity.

The Android app data folder is absent, likely by design, to prevent accidentally messing up any app installations. Any folder that Android tries to hide on your device is still hidden in File Explorer.

Omg I am the owner of my phone. If i want to see all my folders, show me all my folders.

Another company releasing another unfinished product, with no estimated date on when ultra wideband will be implemented.

Please people, don’t buy unfinished products.
