Huawei runs it's own branch of Android since it lost its ability to offer Google services.
In the case you're not paying for "Android" but for the tech, whatever you think about it it's a tech that no-one else is yet doing, least of all Apple which in real terms is still playing catch-up with Android and it's insistance of a walled garden .

Whilst I agree the technology is awesome, £2,000 for a phone, wow, no thanks.

I took the impractical option, but in fairness, only after all other options failed.
Guess you can't change arseholes but you can sure as shit change houses.

Let's hope my doomongering is just that, with other countries in Europe starting to swing that way I hope it's not sign of the future.

An overwhelming majority by seats but only 33% of the popular vote.
36% voted Tory/Reform so voters have not shifted left but split the more right wing vote

Sorry for the late reploy, but this is what my KODI with trakt looks like on opening the app and the movie section is the same. All widgets are driven by my Trakt account

I accidentally watched YouTube the other night without adblock, OMFG what an experience.
If I can't watch with adblock I'll just stop using it, it's only a rabit hole to waste time for me anyway.

A lot will also depend on your personal usage. Whilst I agree wholeheartedly that Stremio UX is much better that Kodi, out of the box, the one thing that keeps me with Kodi is the fact that it has far superior Trakt integration.
I will admit that Stremio is getting better it's still a far cry from Kodi with Trakt integration and it's something I rely heavily on.
That said if Trakt is not your thing then Stremio is probably a better option.
Also, if you're using RD either with Kodi or Stremio there's no real need to use a VPN as well as traffic is passed over HTTPS so the ISP only sees that you're connecting to RD not what you're doing.

This would most likely be the cause as the majority are from instances that you refer posting links from the sites you mention.

No, and in last 9 months I've rarely seen weblink preview broken

I've tried with standard WebUI , Voyager android app and next.
This only appears to be happening with my lemm.ee account I have an account on another instance and that's fine. 🤔
Link previews seem to be broken since upgrade. As you can see this isn't from all instances so is this a federation issue or an upgrade issue? For what it's worth I get the same experience in Voyager app on Android as well as web-ui. Anyone else experiencing the same?

3 months to my cake day after moving from a defunct Lemmy instance in the early days of R****t migrations.
All I can say is thanks to you and all the contributors for making this a safe and stable Lemmy instance for now and into the future that I'm happy to call home.

Yes bit not yet released and has been in backlog for 2 years, not great for a mainstream browser.
I'm looking to replace my Garmin Vivoactive 4 and most likely with Xiaomi or Amazfit. I'm currently struggling with the dilemma, I've narrowed it down to the following: Redmi Watch 4 - cheapest option but reviews suggest buggy and not that accurate Xiaomi Watch S3 - reasonable cost, long battery life running HyperOS Xiaomi Watch 2 - the new one not the pro, runs WearOS so battery life not as good but overall more feature rich Amazfit GTR4 - must expensive and mixed reviews Anyone owning these watches with real world experience I'd love to hear your take on them.
No editing. The Florida night sky seems different from anything I've seen before in Europe.
I have an oldish Dell Latitude 7480 which doesn't meet the requirements for upgrade to Windows 11 so I thought I'd take the opportunity to install Linux on it as I only really need it for day to day web stuff / studying / media and light gaming. My first choice was Linux Mint but, for some reason it would not recognise that the laptop had a wifi card. So I tried Manjaro but felt Arch wasn't for me so opted for Pop_OS and whilst everything I want works I thought I'd use the time to distro hop live environments to see what else was out there. I know live envs doesn't give you the full picture but to be honest I was more interested in the aesthetic appeal of the DE. Where my curiosity lies is this, from my understanding Linux Mint is based on underlying Ubuntu as is Pop_OS, so how come both Pop_OS and Ubuntu recognise the wi-fi card out of the box so to speak but Mint doesn't. This is the wifi card in question: description: Wireless interface product: Wireless 8265 / 8275 vendor: Intel Corporation physical id: 0 bus info: pci@0000:02:00.0 logical name: wlp2s0 version: 78 serial: cc:2f:71:ec:52:b1 width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi pciexpress bus_master cap_list ethernet physical wireless configuration: broadcast=yes driver=iwlwifi driverversion=6.6.6-76060606-generic firmware=36.ca7b901d.0 8265-36.ucode ip=192.168.1.6 latency=0 link=yes multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11 resources: irq:131 memory:ec000000-ec001fff > And with this in mind, does anyone have any idea how to get this wi-fi card working with Mint, I'm assuming I need a drive which the other drivers have but Mint, for whatever reason, doesn't have. # **Update:** I thought it would be easier to edit the post than reply to you all individually and thanks to everyone who took the time to respond so quickly. I've just re-tried with the latest version 21.3 and it all works, maybe by newbie brain did something wrong with the first install. I'll probably stick with Pop_OS as it does what I need and I quite like the Gnome interface. But again, thank you all for your input it's awesome to know that swift help is available for ~~idiots~~ newbies like me.
I've noticed a distinct degradation in speed on lemm.ee since the upgrade. The website seems fine but any app appears to struggle with the lemm.ee site. The only exception appears to be Voyager app and it may be that as a web app it doesn't appear to have the same problem. Jerboa can't login, says can't connect to instance, this is not a specific v19 issue as I have an account on reddthat.com which is also running v19.0 and that logs in without issue. Voyager struggles to load my profile. I migrated here from fmhy and then feddit.uk after it appeared to be abandoned, I'd really not like to migrate again but it's starting look like that's the only option ;-(
This I actually learned today from another user's pain post about Android 14. I've been using Android phones for about 5 years and had no idea ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
