Banking apps and Amazon don’t seem to like it

Try going into the app’s settings and toggle Exploit protection compatibility mode. That let me use my banking apps that didn’t work before.

EA is looking at putting in-game ads in AAA games — 'We'll be very thoughtful as we move into that,' says CEO (www.tomshardware.com)

EA CEO Andrew Wilson confirmed the company is considering putting ads in traditional AAA games — titles that players purchase up-front for around $70 apiece. In the Q&A part of EA’s latest earnings call, Eric Sheridan from Goldman Sachs asked Wilson about dynamic ad insertion in traditional AAA games. Wilson said,...

I am confused why you’re talking about USA. The article doesn’t mention USA, and Nestle is a Swiss company.

I mean, better regulations in the US would be great though

Salix,

I guess looking at their official 2023 report, it does look like they make a lot in the North American Zone (Canada, US, Mexico) compared to other zones.

Salix,

If you don’t need port forwarding, Mullvad is my pick. Since they got rid of port forwarding, I’ve moved to AirVPN and am happy with them. I just dislike AirVPNs’ GUI app, Eddie. I mainly use Wireguard directly for their servers.

Newpipe is getting updates on fdroid again and seem like will be getting updates for the foreseeable future as the issue stopping it is solved. (f-droid.org)

Also on an unrelated note anyway to remove live from your subscribed channels update field ? Some channels are filling it with live so i have to really scroll down to see my video feeds and can’t find a setting to switch it off. Newpipe didn’t used to add live in your what’s new feed of subscribed channels, related pic .

If you want to actually fully degoogle, you wouldn’t want to use Revanced. Revanced just patches the official YouTube App.

I personally use NewPipe when watching on my phone, but I do have Revanced YouTube installed as well just for casting to my TV. Convenience for me.

Salix,

Different use. Feeder only works locally.

Read You can sync with multiple types of RSS servers. I love using it with FreshRSS. Great for people who use multiple devices.

Salix,

That’s because Feeder does their OPML file differently. Their OPML file includes Feeder settings. You have to wait for v0.9.13 release that makes it compatible. It’ll be the next release. Current release is v0.9.12

On expensive ER bills that only exist because people couldn’t afford to visit a GP five years earlier and get some cheap off the shelf preventive medicine.

A few years ago, I went to the ER because I was feeling abnormally unwell. Sat in the ER for an hour then nurse finally took me into a room. They had to leave to do something immediately after putting me in a room. Sat there for 15 minutes and realized that my body was starting to feel much better so I left.

I got a $3000 bill after insurance. The hospital declined my financial assistant application to get my bill reduced because they said I made too much money. I made $16/hr at the time in an expensive metro area. Ended up paying it off on a 3 year plan.

Salix,

I don’t recall it ever being a dead project. They did have a time period where you had to either join the beta on Play Store, obtain the beta on Github releases, or use F-Droid and install the beta. They were working on integrating certain things and rewrites before doing an official release.

It was a pinned issue in their issue tracker.

The whole 5.7xx series were betas, and 5.800 started the official releases again

Notetaking app that looks too good to be true? - Siyuan

Recently stumbled upon this note-taking app called SiYuan, but it honestly looks a bit too good to be true(?). Has anyone here used it or got any experience with it? Trying to replace Obsidian is a difficult task, and I’ve been through almost all note-taking apps there are out there, however this one looks fairly similar....

Salix,

It literally says it in their readme’s docker section: github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan?tab=readme-ov-file#…

Salix,

Started? Been having that issue for months now. It only works on VPN if you’re logged on.

Certain VPN servers can go through it they haven’t implemented a block for it yet. AirVPN launched some new servers that worked for a bit, but Reddit blocked them a few weeks later.

old.reddit.com is the only Reddit website I use. I have every reddit link automatically redirect to that website as well. I haven’t been able to access old.reddit.com for months on most servers of 3 different VPNs I’ve used.

Salix,

Pathfinder 2e hasn’t been adapted yet, which is very different from 1e

Google Allows Creditors to Brick Your Phone (lemmy.world)

I installed NetGuard about a month ago and blocked all internet to apps, unless they’re on a whitelist. No notifications from this particular system app (that can’t be disabled) until recently when it started making internet connection requests to google servers. Does anyone know when this became a thing?...

Salix,

Are you looking at system apps? It’s installed as a system app on my phone using GrapheneOS

com.android.devicelockcontroller

Looks like it’s an AOSP app

Salix,

I find it interesting that yours is com.google.android.devicelockcontroller.

I checked mine on GrapheneOS and it looks like it’s the AOSP version of the package: com.android.devicelockcontroller

Salix,

If you like Thunderbird, I recommend checking out Betterbird fork as well that adds more features.

Salix,

Have never had this happen on my 4 computers
