Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome
  • Ferris Ferris 1y ago 60%

    something about the way it [chrome] handles memory isolation means i get fewer blue screens at work with all my bloated browser tools loaded at the same time. I have to have ~15 tabs open. It is not my laptop, so I cant go around experimenting with plugins much.

    then again who gives a flying fart if chrome tracks me while i use the same internal browser tools day in and day out?

  • What Expensive Version Did You Try and Now You Never Wanted to Go Back to the Cheap Thing?
  • Ferris Ferris 1y ago 100%

    Victoria's Marinara. If I google image search '"Victoria Trading Company" marinara' they almost all look correct. The common labels when you search "Victoria marinara" have no chunks and are inferior.

    good formulation | bad formulation

  • Currently developing an Android app to sync subscriptions and saved posts between accounts

    I think Tasker uses the option to 'draw on top of other apps' in order to maintain control of things. I think Poweramp uses some fancy notification settings (persistent, invisible?) to do the same. Poweramp is very good at retaining the ability to resume audio playback on device connect, independent of whether it was the last audio application playing audio. Tasker, I haven't used properly yet, but was interested in automating button functionality with it.

    Another note: it might be neat to have a 'sync all account settings' option : )

    I cant help but to have noticed a lot of places on Lemmy where autocorrect has clearly gone wrong. We need a phone keyboard that produces options and a squiggly when it wants to correct something, maybe. I turned off my autocorrect for that reason, which raises its own set of problems lol.

    no offense intended, of course <3

    Semi related: I almost wish we were archiving Reddit posts with Lemmy, so we could find our answers here. Like this? the people in the comments haven't found all of the resume settings, I think. They're kind of spread out. I'd suggest to keep looking. I just accomplished this task, but I'm not logging into that website. Need an /c/AnswerstoRedditQuestions@multiple.domains lol. Directly bring value to redditors in interacting with lemmy. Hey bro we answered your question here take a look ->

    Only thing that leaves me worrying is longevity of hosting service. I used that thing for twelve years. This whole time the servers haven't lost track of my data. How long will these servers last?
