Samsung s23 ultra is my first Samsung and despite having come from Pixels and Oneplus I found I actually liked the Samsung stuff like edge panel, one hand plus+ operation, and sound assistant. All the good lock additions was like getting custom rom features. Find it hard to consider a phone without something like the Spen too now, since I use it to take notes and select text.

Really refreshing to see Apple fans who have not forgotten they are consumers who have features they want as opposed to accepting whatever decision is made for them.

Other site was a weird mix of people who seemed less Apple consumers and shared more in common with Apple shareholders with the lengths they'd go to defend things from Apple's financial point of view.

Ads I get, but the admob with the "unique device identifiers" is not something I like. That means even people who are willing to pay for a subscription will be exposed to them when they first open the app to purchase the subscription.

I've gone so long without ads I am unaware of the concept of being fine with ads. It's too unfamiliar an experience now.

Had been searching and saw some comments for products where people were saying they were getting lag with their wireless mouse. So wondered if there's a product people have had luck with.

I have my USB-C ports already occupied, and would rather rely on USB-A.

Edit: USB 3.0 seems to be what has caused issues for some people, so I decided to go with a cheap USB 2.0 hub due to using it for wireless peripherals and printer as opposed to transferring data.

Having something built in is so much better than needing a dongle. There's a reason why even Apple brought back ports like hdmi and sd card slot to their Mac book pro line to eliminate even the needing a dongle for some people.

Waiting for a lower price point. I have enough games.

It does however include meta services, meta app manager, and meta app installer which you have to either disable after enabling view of system apps or use adb to remove it.

Like if I got libreoffice open and active on the left of my screen and safari open on the right then go from my active window being libreoffice to now safari where the browser is on lemmy.world and I go and click the search icon it doesn't automatically recognize that I hit the search icon or any post on a single click. Instead it activates that window requiring me to click again. Essentially turning it into a two part process of double clicking or alt + Command then click. Same for if I go to YouTube.com then go to another opened program then move the cursor over to click the search input field for the first time or click a video.

But, then if I go from an active window like LibreOffice straight to the address bar that's just one click required of me which made it apparent this is a program issue/decision, since some programs don't require that click to focus then click again to recognize user inputs but instead initiates them the first time.

Would be nice if this type of behavior could be adjusted system wide, since when it happens it makes things feel unresponsive with actions not being accept the first time. I'm guessing this might be a remnant of when side by side or multiple monitor multitasking wasn't as widespread, and more switching between programs that are taking the entire focus of the screen?

For me these have entered into my must haves

  • BetterDisplay: For better scaling support for external monitors
  • Rectangle: To be able to use a mouse to drag and snap windows
  • Pixea: To be able to double click an image with a mouse in any folder and then use arrow keys or scroll wheel to proceed to the next file in the folder. Replaced the stock preview with this.

Something I'm looking for now is the ability to use the forward and back buttons on my mouse when I'm in Finder and want to go back to the previous folder I was in. Doesn't work in Safari either. Works in good old dependable Firefox though.

And separate volume controls for each applications.

Too short Owen. Assignment is 1250 words minimum with proper MLA citation. Resubmit before the deadline.

What I want to be able to do is open any folder and double click the image and navigate to the next image with arrows. Without having to view that folder through a separate gallery program.

But instead what happens is I double click and arrows do nothing and stays on the opened Pic. So what I have to do instead is select the Pic and press space. Then I can navigate from left to right. But, then it doesn't automatically move to the next row, so I have to press down to go down to the next row then move from right to left then down then left to right. Or change from my preferred grid view to list view so I can just rely on a single key press or change to multicolumn view which I'm not a fan of . Having to do those extra steps feels so clunky.

Is there a way to change the behavior of the default preview so double clicking to open a picture in a folder leads to being able to just use arrows to move to the next image in the folder? I'll even accept hitting space and the image preview automatically moving to the next row. Or another program to replace it that is a better image preview?

Should I go with this one or are there others that would be better?

Integrity company here. It's been a year since we partnered with known mobster Two Face and we promised you that he would have no influence over our business other than as a financier and we've kept that promise! As you can see his racketeering has been kept completely independent of our day to day activities. You can trust us and Two Face that we will be allowed to be completely independent and there is no tom foolery going around behind the scenes.

I don't want something I have to deal with some software like iTunes for and would rather plug in the device into any computer and move files and have the player automatically recognize it.

Want to use it when going for runs. Audio jack and Bluetooth support is a must. No need for anything else fancy

Edit: I came across the SanDisk 16GB Clip Sport Plus MP3 Player. Seems like it might be what I'm looking for. Anyone have any other simple mp3 players with Bluetooth support they recommend?

I've been the weird one where I refused to make a real Facebook account and would make a throwaway with fake names when I'd need it for classes. What would prompt the creation of another throwaway would be when Facebook would lock my account and demand I send in ID or picture verification.

I opened terminal with my comment.csv put in the desktop

  1. I did cargo install shreddit

  2. Then made the reddit app credentials

  3. Then did shreddit --username YouRedditUsername --password YourSuperSecretPassword123 --client-id clientidreplace --client-secret clientsecretreplace --gdpr-export-dir ~/Desktop/comments.csv

With the relevant information replaced with my own. But after I click enter nothing more happens like a message saying deleting or anything like that. Just cursor blinking. So do I just leave it alone or did something go wrong?

Update : Using the shreddit-linux file ended up working for me. On Linux to run it I had to right click it then go to properties and then allow executable. Then to run it in terminal I had to go to the directory shreddit-linux was in and type ./shreddit-linux.

Also, you have to make sure you extract all the GDPR files together. If it is missing one it needs you get an error, so after some error messages extracting everything fixed it for me and got it to start deleting.

I only used reddit as my big social media and then discord for messaging. Fediverse has become a good alternative to reddit, but discord will be hard to convince people to move over to alternatives like matrix or revolt.

I ran into the profile limit so no more comments show up, but they are still on reddit with the csv file having links to the ones that haven't been deleted. There's too much for me to do it manually so would appreciate help if there's some tool to automate the process.

Can't we just stick with normal donations instead of turning this place into a sea of rainbow vomit.
