Nova Launcher, KWGT widgets, gold leaf icon pack

I change my wallpaper like once a week but this is what I have on now

Kind of a typical response, but my android’s custom os. I think the OnePlus 8t is fantastic, BUT specifically thinking of the custom rom (Nameless13) I installed on it to replace OOS

I’m not that old, but I still came from flip phones and nokias, so the amount of evolution is incredible

I like this custom rom so much because as a tech savvy user, I can have it do whatever I want. It has an insane amount of QOL features, fantastic support team, better battery life, better responsiveness and energy usage, frequent and reliable updates, devs pushing out good features that users actually want, no bloatware ads or BS, a ridiculous amount of options and customization, and full control. The only single drawback was the stress and effort of learning how to install a custom rom, but it felt extremely rewarding and as someone in IT, it’s something good to learn. Plus having super nice and helpful support team and users both, made it way easier

Very fair and reasonable points. That’s interesting to know about the dev, I had no idea! It’s gotta be a shit load of work. I look forward to seeing where it goes from here

Someone else had suggested Connect, I’m using it rn and I adore it. Will be using this in the meantime, but I still want to give Jeroba and other apps a chance! I’m mostly eagerly awaiting Boost for Lemmy, though, since that’s what I used for reddit

Just wanted to update you, Connect feels fantastic and I absolutely love the UI/UX. Thanks again for the recommendation!

I still want to give all the other apps a chance tho, don’t think I’m ditching Jeroba quite yet :)

Yeah I feel like I’ve had this for like 1-2 weeks intermittently. I’ll try out Connect in the meantime. Thanks!!

I’ll try that and see if it improves. No idea why I didn’t consider trying that first lol

Thanks!

That might explain it then. Thanks for the resource!

Issue resolved, it was on my end :) turns out I had “view nsfw content” unchecked, and I hadn’t realized this was a NSFW community

Oh I had no idea! That sounds really nice. I don’t really know what front end means exactly, but is a good comparison betterdiscord vs. discord?

Also you mention that it never talks to twitter, but I’m curious does it still pull data from twitter? Like your account and who you follow

I had no idea about this and haven’t heard of it before. Thanks for the info!

Is Nitter just the twitter of the fediverse? I can’t subscribe to real-debrid’s Nitter content, on Lemmy, can I?

Thanks for the reply. I just looked into VIAL, is it overly complex? I just want to avoid more complications or problems. Is your suggestion for this just to allow me to customize the knobs better? Or do you have other reasons that I should switch? Cause it turns out that I do still have the FN issue

We took the keyboard apart (which took ages, so I want to avoid having to do that again lol, though I guess that’s part of the whole custom keyboard deal), and fixed the stabilizer. But then that created clacking from the left side of the backspace, so something was hitting, I managed to fix that mostly (good enough) without taking the keyboard back apart

I also learned that the GMMK Numpad comes with north facing PCB for some reason, but the I found that they sold their own south facing PCB which I was glad to hear. We started taking it apart, and one of the screws stripped sooo bad that it took us the whole night to figure out how to get that damn thing out. We ended up drilling it out (I don’t know the details, my partner is an engineer so he figured it out) so thank god that’s done, but just another complication that came up

Seems like nothing is ever easy when you buy anything now

edit: Forgot to mention, someone else (last comment by u/trash@lemm.ee) mentioned using vial. Is this what you did? My concern is that since my numpad is external, it’ll make this a lot more complicated and tedious. I just want simple, but maybe that’s not an option in my case. Maybe I’ll just deal with the software until it’s not meeting expectations anymore

It feels nice and warm, that’s for sure :) I hope it stays this way but the content grows to where I can use this as my new source of information

Semi-related… You guys have any tips for seeing new popular posts? I have checked subscribed top week, subscribed top day, even month, and then even all for those 3. I feel like I only see new content every 3-5 days. Or is that just because we’re still growing and I’m just used to the overflow of content on reddit? lol

Boost refugee reporting!!

I should probably just uninstall Boost from my phone :( I just opened it and seems to be working, but maybe it hasn’t kicked in yet

There are still some subreddits that I used a lot that [seem like they] haven’t migrated over yet :/ battlestations, intermittentfasting, lostark, oneplus, purdue, my local town, etc. It just sucks a lot since I’m trying to avoid using reddit entirely :(

Seconded! Upvoting seems slow, that’s the only thing I noticed

I completely agree. It makes sense that AI is not good at determining truth vs fiction. I think it’s more important for us as users to just search for information on our own, then determine the “end answer” with our own judgement after reviewing different sources and experiences (taking each individual answer with a grain of salt)

That’s why, I personally think AI search engine won’t be the best all-rounder for all types of information that’s not niche, deep searching which is IMO better found on forum-like platforms where people (enthusiasts) share sources, their experiences, what worked, what didn’t work, and why. For AI, maybe just simple bland information, like an excel formula, or how to hot wire a car, is better

Yea, so what I was thinking was edit all of them with PDS with a template I have, then go back manually to specific posts/guides and add links to the new guides. Sounds like that would work then, thx :)

Question for you - pretty soon here, I’m going to use PDS to edit all my comments with info about why it’s edited and redirection to the fediverse

I have some comments or posts that are guides, which I will have migrated over to Lemmy. Can I mass edit all my comments with PDS, then go back into reddit to select few individual posts/comments, and add a link to the specific Lemmy guide? Sorry if this doesn’t make sense lol

Fuck yeah. Love hearing more of this news!

I’ll check those out - thanks! Oohhh, I had no idea torrentio had a setting with a limit. I’ll make sure that’s set correctly as well
