I think you are talking on online messaging, but if not, Fossify messenger has the option to backup SMS.
Is there any lemmy community for it? Maybe you can start one, if interested in exploring things like that?
InternetIsBeautiful communities maybe a good option too
Thank you.
read political theory and history
Which books other than the one that you mentioned(thanks for that), would you recommend? Introductory ones that are modern/contemporary, if possible.
I've been recommended State & rev and I have read it, but it seems that eventhough I get the idea, I don't have the foundation and context(didn't understand who all the people mentioned in it are) to fully understand it. Maybe I need to reread it.
Are there any books that you'd recommend about organising and the associated skills/strategy needed for it?
Could I ask a related question:
In my place I'm seeing communal polarisation increasing. Or it is becoming more evident. How would one oppose that in a populace where religion and caste hold good sway, without the opposition giving it more power accidently?
I've seen leftist n leftish organisations being affected by this.
ways to build and wield power that do not depend on it.
How would one go about it? Would be useful if it's in a general context, as I'm not a North American.
Curious about what this is. If possible, could you please explain what you do there?
Might be ironic that I'm having an account on lemmy sdf and asking this. I have read about it, but haven't really understood the usecases.
Lau laundered money for the mob and also was Chinese.
I don't think the public/mainstream would have issues there, where he goes after the non-native guy who laundered money for the mob.
Batman is a CEO, right?
He just goes after the ones he can beat without much backlash from the public/system.
Imagine if he takes down a CEO. He'd not be able to play batman. Gordon and batman sympathisers would be affected, so Batman's human connection in the police would be lost. He can hack stuff, but might not always be enough.
He can do other stuff, but he can only do it gradually and much more tactfully.
I had watched the english dub back when the original was airing in Animax. A very fun romcom.
Has lots of decent fanfics. Even fics from the mid-late 90's are also available on the net.
At least one person was killed when parts of the roof caved in and crushed vehicles at Indira Gandhi airport in New Delhi, according to an official. All domestic departures were suspended.
As the affluent or the relatively upper strata starts to directly see issues, would the govt be forced to have better quality infra development?
Did it almost 2 weeks ago.
Automatic local backup did not happen, so I used Settings -> Chat -> Chat Backup -> Backup now
I don't have a google account selected in the backup options and the local backup was created.
I've been thinking about reinstalling whatsapp once more, but now even when I click it, it's not backing up.
So maybe it's not allowed now
I want a collection of posts, a feed from selected communities.
As an example:
There's c/memes in ml n world, sopuli etc. I want to have a single feed or tab or page where the posts from those communities are available.
Thank you
Is there any current workaround to deal with it?
Any client-side app or so?
The R site has such a feature, which can allow one to group posts from many communities into one feed. With many communities on different instances with similar topics, it'd be useful to group them to avoid separate visits to each community.
Does lemmy have such an option? If not, are there any lemmy clients that can provides a similar option? Or are there known workarounds, maybe with the rss feeds or so?
Historically, elections for the Speaker of the lower house of Parliament in India have never been held. Congressman Kodikunnil Suresh and BJP MP Om Birla submitted their candidacies for the Lok Sabha Speaker election on Tuesday. Know what the ruling party and the opposition has to say on the matter.
Bjp had broken the norm of the most senior parliamentarian being the pro-tem speaker. Kodikunnil Suresh, Congress' MP from the Mavelikkara assembly of Kerala, was the seniormost MP(8 terms, 25+ years of experience as an MP), but he was not made the pro-tem speaker.
Another norm that the ruling and opposition sides come to a consensus such that the deputy speaker post is given to someone outside of the ruling party, while the speaker is chosen by the ruling party is also being challenged by the Bjp.
So we're seeing election for the post of Lok Sabha speaker as a first.

A Malayalam movie song: https://youtube.com/watch?v=NkmsdwnTF50&t=68
Kannane karimukilambarane..
Madhuraamrutha muraleerava mazhayode anayuu nee
Kannane karimukilambarane
Madhuraamrutha muralidhara neelambuja nayanane..
The lyrics describes some characteristics of the Hindu god Krishna... the singer is describing her lover like that.
The lyrics is cool, but the context and the way it is sung elevates it for me.
I like it because the protagonist is imagining it and his love interest doesn't even know of his interest. The guy is also the evil guy in the story.
Meaning of the words
Karimukil = Rain cloud, dark cloud
Ambaram = could mean sky or lips
Madhura = A place of the god. Also madhuram means sweet
Amrith = Divine nectar, immortality juice
Mazhayode + anayuu + nee = Rain + come + you, come/arrive with the rain
Muralirava= Flute's sound
Neela ambuja nayanan = Blue Lotus eyed
There are Malayalam leftist songs whose lyrics I like a lot, but that'd be too specific and I probably wouldn't be able to explain them easily.
dismiss any information merely because it emanates from a source they disfavor is the epitome of liberalism
But there are sources that we'd doubt more, right?
In this case, I think the info is decent, since other sources say similar stuff and it makes sense withp previous info/experience.
Not related to science news, but I'm careful of sources with a right-wing bias in the context of general news. I've had experiences where they had exaggerated or twisted news. Not that left-wing sources are totally free of it, but it the scale n frequency in exaggeration seems different. And it often gets criticises by left-wing people too.
So, I am more careful of those rightwing sources. Am I a liberal because of that?
Thank you a lot for taking the time and effort for the detailed comment.
Thank you.
I did try a bit of that.
My issue comes when more than 2 functions are used. I do plan to practice more of that.
Are there any resources that you recommend?
What happened to the person who had last contact with the said object?
And slightly unrelated:
The wire website saw a redesign recently, right?
They used to have an rss feed. I think it got dropped after the redesign. Or has it gone private or premium?
I had tried to learn some languages using online resources on the net(freely accessible ones tho). Didn't actually commit to it with a plan. Curious on how others went about it.
Do mention the resources that you liked/found useful.
Recently formatted my phone. Reinstalled whatsapp n the imported the backup. It seems very slow and buggy. After 1-3 mins of usage, the app starts acting up and after a minute or so autocloses.
Has anyone experienced the same?
I'm planning on reinstalling to check whether that fixes the issue. Asking here to see if anyone has experienced something similar and/or has resolved it.
I started using it last year and I think others would benefit from knowing about it too.
Offline dictionaries(based on data from wikipedia, wiktionary etc.): https://github.com/itkach/slob/wiki/Dictionaries
I use the Wordnet and SimpleWikipedia dictionaries along with the one for the Wiktionary in my native language. ______ Going on a tangent about the dictionaries(you can skip this if you're currently not interested on that):
They had a Malayalam dictionary, which was quite awesome for me, as I'm a Malayali. The dictionary is based on ml.wiktionary.org from 2021. Maybe there were not too many additions for the effort to make a new one.
The code for creating the dictionaries are also available in their github. I tried it out, but I'm on Opensuse Leap currently and installing couchdb seems tricky.
I also saw a python package, Pyglossary, which helps to convert dictionaries between opensource formats.
Wikipedia provides monthly dumps of zim files(used in Kiwix, another dictionary app. Not available in F-droid). https://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/kiwix/zim/ I was able to use Pyglossary to convert those into slob files and use them. So might be an easier way to get slob files, if slob files of Wiktionary or Wikipedia in your language are not available. Or if you want to update them. Data scraping is also avoided.
I'm thinking about resetting my phone to see if it fixes a mobile data download issue.
I want to avoid losing important data and also avoid cloud services for backup, as much as possible. So, how should one ideally go about it?
- I can directly backup all files in /storage/emulated/0
- I can backup contacts as vcf
- I can backup apk's using apk extractor
- I can write down saved passwords in Chrome and Firefox
- Create backups from apps like Pipepipe and Mihon. And also get the database file from whsap
Is there a way to save preferences for apps without root?
Are there foss or offline apps that simplify this?
Also is there a way to locally backup google calendar?
(Fossify calendar seems to have an export local calendar option. The backup file seems to be supported by google calendar too.)
Are there other things that I'm overlooking? Would like to get suggestions/advice on this. Thanks in advance.
The system launcher on my phone has a data usage that is non-zero. I've already disabled background data for it.
I use Lawnchair2, but haven't tried to disable/uninstall the system launcher because I've read somewhere that it affects gesture navigation(Is it actually so?)
I know that apps like Netguard can help, but is there a more direct solution, other than rooting?
Are there any other adb commands that are useful, hopefully that are not too dangerous?
I've recently found
adb shell pm trim-caches 99999M
Clears all/most app cache, without having to install some cache clear or use Gfiles. I don't really use it often.
_______
Along with this, does anyone know way to troubleshoot gmail not being able to download attachments on mobile data? I've not disabled background data for that. Or should I make a separate post on it. Or would it be too tech-supporty?
I find it useful when I have to ask for files from another person without having to ask them to install the app.
Trebleshot has this option(screenshot attached) and I'm currently using it. But it's source seems to archived, so looking for an alternative if it exists.
Is android nearby share enough for this? Generally, I think that foss apps give me faster transfer speeds overy nearby share. Or is it just placebo?

I didn't see any paywall(uBlock?), but if it does spring up, then the link maybe useful
.7z seems to be good and I do recommend it to people, saying that it's better than regular zip. Have recently started using opus n webm files more.
I've also heard about jxl recently. Would be very nice to see it become popular, as it could reduce the size of my memes n screenshots folders. Faster webpage loading too.
Are there any other file formats that'll be useful to people, but isn't getting enough attention?
In the case of apps, Trebleshot seems to be good for android file sharing. I like it's web sharing option having an upload form. Helps me where I don't have to ask others to install an app to send me a file locally. Not sure about its encryption n security aspects, but I only have used it for local file sharing.
And what about other stuff similar to that, other than file formats or apps?
Recently have started exercising my neck. Not neck bridges and loaded things tho. Only safe n simple movements. Seems to be good, especially after using a monitor for some time. I think it's not much talked about, maybe because of the fear that people will overdo it?
I can download the same when I use wifi tho.
My phone is a Tecno Spark 8c, running Android 11.
Things I have tried:
- Checked with different carriers. So it's probably not some block that my carrier has or my private dns settings being weird.
- Cleared the data of the gmail app and ensured that it has access to media and background data.
- Searched about the issue and saw people talking about clearing the data of downloads and the download manager. Have done that.
- Reset the mobile data and app preferences in settings. No change after that too.
Related to this: I use Tachiyomi. Similar to attachments I never could download the extensions from within the app using mobile data(could get it manually from their site, so not an issue with their website). Recently the chapter downloads in the app have also stopped working on mobile data, displays No Network Connection available in the notification(have updated to Mihon).
I think it is some android bug. Or downloads or download manager or some other app having issues. I've disabled some bloatware on my phone and also have restricted background data to some apps.
Has anyone else dealt with a similar bug. Is there any fix for it(other than a full reset, if possible)?
Thanks in advance
The first one doesn't have a name. Searching for the second one, TPMS, gave me results on Tyre Pressure Monitoring System. Didn't see any articles on android about it(Might be that I didn't search well enough too).
Is anyone familiar with these apps? What are they for? Saw these apps on a Tecno Spark 8C, running Android 11.
Thanks in advance.
I have it installed on HDD, on a Lenovo Ideapad 3 gaming laptop, with a nvidia GTX 1650 Ti. I have windows installed, but it's on SSD, so it probably doesn't affect.
The battery life is not so good.
- I have the proprietary nvidia drivers installed. In nvidia settings, I've set it to be in adaptive mode to save energy.
- I've installed suse-prime and set it to offload. Setting it to intel doesn't get me to the graphical interface. Is there a way to fix that?
- I use kde plasma and the effects and animations are turned off. I have disabled the cups.service, file indexing and other things I normally don't use.
- Autocpufreq is installed and tlp is not.
- I've also set noatime for root and home.
- My screen brightness and sleep settings are kept low and I normally don't use more than 20% and at night only less than 5%.
I only get around an hour to 1.5 hrs of battery time on average. Are there ways to improve that?
Also my current boot time is around a minute to 1.5 minutes. Is it ok for hdd? Or are there things that I could easily try to speed it a bit more?
Thank you, for reading all this.
