Android 16's Advanced Protection security mode: What it does and who should enable it
  • I'm into privacy, but I really enjoy my pixel as it is too. The main concern is my Dexcom continuous blood glucose monitor. It gives annoying warnings about not being tested with the current os version every time I update. I don't even use betas.

    Need Android Launcher Recommendation
  • It is my default launcher too but it requires a different mindset if you're used to arranging icons. You spend more time choosing wallpaper instead of arranging things. Just, tag your apps and search for them. It's much better than it sounds. And any widgets you want just scroll up from the bottom.

  • Found some Firefox forks but can't decide which one to use
  • I was using (and really liked) Librewolf until I heard that they were having trouble keeping up with Firefox updates. Now I'm using the Phonenix configurations for Firefox and keeping the FF updates separate from the privacy configuration settings. Avoiding forks lets you get the best of both worlds.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • I've been on mastodon for 8 years and it's ok but it can't catch the masses. It has been paralyzed from advancing by a vocal minority.

    It shouldn't take 6 years to get search and quote posts. They also need optional algorithmic feeds.

  • Firefox alternatives?
  • No mention of phoenix here? I moved from Librewolf over concerns it wasn't keeping up and this project does much like the arkenfox stuff does by using the current firefox and just changing some settiings and policies so you are never behind the latest version of firefox. Check out their comparisons: https://codeberg.org/celenity/Phoenix/wiki/Comparison#safe-browsing

  • One more time, simple keybinding in Cosmic

    All I want is to take my F5 key and assign it to the media key for volume down. BIOS will not do this. Gnome lets me do it.

    When I try to hit F5 the key does nothing in the input field.

    Android sharesheet gets stuck on a target
  • That sounds like what I was looking for. Thanks. I finally figured out last night that I could remove that particular account from tusky and the target disappeared. Unfortunately, it changes back as soon as I add back that account! That's the third account on tusky and it only grabs that one.

  • Android sharesheet gets stuck on a target

    I share screenshots with the wife every day but somehow Tusky has grabbed the share sheet target, and always wants me to share to a mastodon account I rarely use and I can't seem to replace it with my usual Signal target for my wife. Ideas?

    how do I reassign keys in Cosmic?
  • Damn, I think I missed this. Anyway, I'm on a System 76 laptop and it does not have the ability to switch the keys in the BIOS. Before, I was doing it with Gnome but I still can't get it done on Cosmic.

  • how do I reassign keys in Cosmic?

    In Gnome, I was able to make my media keys work without hitting fn by reassigning them. I honestly don't even remember how I did it.

    Is there a way to do this in Cosmic yet?

    Is there a way to timeout the screen yet?

    I know it's early yet, but right now my laptop screen stays awake all day while I listen to streaming music. Is there no way to return to the login screen and blank that screen after a certain period of time?

    Firefox has a problem and Android phones are affected by it (does that help all of you down voters?l
    www.androidheadlines.com Firefox has a problem and Android phones are affected by it

    It seems like Firefox has a rather serious problem with telemetry on Android devices. It has to do with the company's 'Glean' system.

    Does fennec get around this?

    Android direct share

    Until recently, when I took a screenshot with my #pixel it showed a direct share target which was usually the most recent person I shared to. Now, it's got no one. How do I fix that?
