How could we convince Reddit subs to move over to Lemmy?
  • They allegedly remove posts/comments about lemmy? And even if they don't, I feel like it could have the opposite effect. People would see those posts just like ads/promotion/spam. Which would give lemmy a bad rep. Unless something big happens, like some big community switching to lemmy, or someone with a big following promotes lemmy, it will hardly see a big spike in user count.

    The only way is to passively "advertise" it. Maybe add the link to your lemmy account in your reddits about you section, if you are making OC add your lemmy handle there as well...

    And the last way, which is most likely the best way to do it, is to post good content on lemmy, keep communities alive. And people will eventually join.

  • Time to admit defeat
  • Suugar? Ripe banana is already sweet enough.

  • How do I filter posts that contain specific words on Lemmy/Alexandrite? (desktop, not on app)
  • There is a script that can do that if you are comfortable using that: https://github.com/howdy-tsc/LemmyTools
    It only works on the lemmy's own webui. From what I can tell, Alexandrite doesn't have such feature.

  • Signal Piracy group
  • What is even the point of "piracy groups"? What exactly can you find there that you cannot in other places designed for that, e.g., trackers, usenet, forums...?

  • I'm picking frog

    > Added an initial Anti-Cheat detection system. When a user is detected as cheating, during the game session the opponents will be given a choice between banning the user immediately and ending the match or turning the cheater into a frog for the rest of the game and then banning them afterwards. The system is set to conservative detection levels as we work on a v2 anti-cheat system that is more extensive. We will turn on the banning of users in a couple of days after the update is out. When a match is ended this way, the results will not count for other players.

    FOSS document scanning app for Android?
  • I can find it on Droidify no problem and after reading your comment, I also tried on F-droid app and I can see it there as well. Maybe you don't have it configured properly.

  • HD-Torrents is Open for Signups
  • Seems like it.

  • How is Android's share menu such garbage?

    You can't remove things from it, you cannot rearrange it... Useless things and suggestions get stuck at the top.

    I'm on Android 13. Have they made any improvements in the newer versions of Android?

    [Answer to yesterday's question] The number of active users on join-lemmy.org is now back to normal
  • So lemmy.world is still excluded from the list but the active users from it are counted in?

  • FOSS Android Object Removal Tool?
  • What stable diffusion has a retouch option on PC’s then?

    I'm not a stable diffusion guru, but yeah, you can remove objects using inpaint feature. It definitely wouldn't be straight forward thing to do though, and probably not a great experience since web ui is not really good on the mobile devices, but I haven't used it in a while, maybe it got improved.

    And that is extremely ironic mentioning request it in ImageToolbox I actually already have haven’t heard back yet though.

    ¯\(ツ)/¯ I couldn't have known you already did.

  • FOSS Android Object Removal Tool?
  • I'm afraid not. Only open source way of achieving that, that I can think of would be self hosting stable diffusion and using web ui on your phone. Which probably wouldn't be really easy nor convenient.

    A long shot would be making a feature request for ImageToolbox to implement something like that.

  • What's A Piece Of Software You Could Never Do Without?
  • So, there are 2 main places for shortcuts/actions: tracker actions and edge actions.

    These are my tracker actions

    I set it so it activates when I tap and hold the tracker, it shows up those shortcuts. If I slide my finger towards one of the shortcuts, it activates it.

    These are my edge actions

    These are actions/shortcuts that you trigger by pushing the cursor to the edge of the screen.

    You can pick any app from your phone or any of the actions available in the app, there are a lot... Like system controls (volume, brightness control, media playback buttons, screen lock, screen rotation, etc.) and you can also make a shortcut for Tasker/MacroDroid/Automate action. So basically, you can make a shortcut for almost anything you can think of.

  • What's A Piece Of Software You Could Never Do Without?
  • I think it might be possible only in the paid version, but that's exactly how it works, you just have to increase the Cursor area in Swipe zones settings.

    And it does stay under the Twilight if you give Twilight the accessibility permission.

  • What's A Piece Of Software You Could Never Do Without?
  • I think you are missing the point of the app. The cursor part of it is more of a gesture, or you can think of it as a "thumb extension". The point is to help you avoid the inconvenience and save time by allowing you to reach farther parts of your screen without repositioning your hand. I called it a "phone touchpad" just because, when you activate it, a part of the screen is acting like a touchpad. You are not using it for a specific purpose of having a cursor on your phone, the cursor is basically just the tip of your "virtual extended thumb". So it's a utility/accessibility software.
    Using a physical mouse would be the opposite of what this app is trying to achieve.

  • What's A Piece Of Software You Could Never Do Without?
  • On Android, it's probably a little utility software called Quick Cursor (it's not FOSS). It's incredibly convenient being able to spawn a cursor on your phone from thin air that you can use to reach the "unreachable" portions of your screen, especially if you are holding your phone with one hand. Besides being a "phone touchpad" it has a bunch of ways of triggering actions/shortcuts, for example: volume or brightness control, launching an app (I use it for launching a floating calculator, notes...), opening notification shade, copying text (it can copy any text that is under the cursor, even if it's not selectable)...

    It's not that I couldn't go without it, but it changed the way I use my phone and it would feel really weird without it. It feels like it should be a part of the OS.

    Cool sound of an ancient string instrument (Hurdy-gurdy)

    Hurdy-gurdy > The hurdy-gurdy is a string instrument that produces sound by a hand-crank-turned, rosined wheel rubbing against the strings. The wheel functions much like a violin (or nyckelharpa) bow, and single notes played on the instrument sound similar to those of a violin. Melodies are played on a keyboard that presses tangents—small wedges, typically made of wood or metal—against one or more of the strings to change their pitch. Like most other acoustic stringed instruments, it has a sound board and hollow cavity to make the vibration of the strings audible.

    Manifest v3 update: Vivaldi is future-proofed with its built-in functionality

    vivaldi.com Manifest v3 update: Vivaldi is future-proofed with its built-in functionality | Vivaldi Browser

    Google is forcing an update from manifest v2 to v3. With the most important functionality built into Vivaldi, it will have a limited impact. Those running extensions not supporting v3 will be affected.

    Manifest v3 update: Vivaldi is future-proofed with its built-in functionality | Vivaldi Browser

    That is unfortunate... I had an unrealistic expectation, I thought they'd be able to support Manifest v2 for a long time, or find some kind of workaround.

    They say Vivaldi is future proof because of their built in adblocker, but unfortunately it is not very good...
