Not OP, but can recommend two similar ones, data frog SF2000 looks like a snes controller with a screen on it, it's cheap (~20-30 USD) but it gets a little laggy running GBA, and anbernic rg35xx is pricier but higher quality, and has a gameboy-ish shape (~60-70 USD) don't know about any of the other ones, but those two seem decent-ish from what I've heard. Haven't used them myself but they seem to be the most popular. Both have replaceable/upgradable batteries, but they're not AA's.

They're mostly on aliexpress

Setting Android private DNS to either Adguard's or Mullvad's AdBlock DNS (or whoever else) can help a bit, but won't catch all ads, especially ones embedded like on YouTube.

It has nothing to do with it, but I was commenting on a parent level comment to add more info about the stunts they pull that reduce their credibility, making it relevant to the parent comment, but not the overall post.

I just looked through those and they all have stuff in the microblogging section for me, and hydroponics has 3 as it said, it may actually be with domain block or language filter like they said, I don't have any set myself

Not to mention the interesting bits of info you can find just by looking into the CEO of Brave, Brendan Eich. Plenty of reasons with him alone for someone to avoid the browser and search engine.

The big one that he likes to keep buried is that he donated money to an anti-gay marriage proposition in California back in 2011, which is what caused some of the pressure for him to step down as Mozilla CEO back in 2014 after being it for a few weeks.

This is really nice, just installed it and so many little nitpicks I had are completely gone.

Are there any plans to add a feature to make it move the comment box to right under the original post instead of at the bottom of the comments? That's really my only gripe about kbin that bugs me quite a bit.

Microblogging Fediverse app, Lemmy/kbin is to Reddit as Mastodon is to Twitter

There's a few tools for it but this one's my favorite https://mastodon.fediverse.observer/dailystats

It's an okay idea really, it has its pros and cons. It can get complicated if someone signs in with Mastodon and then moves to a different Mastodon instance, and there's also the question of what happens if that Mastodon account gets banned (assuming an unjust ban).

Really just the same issues as a sign in with Google button, minus the privacy issue. Very convenient, but not without its potential issues

DuckDuckGo has a tracker blocker in their Android app that runs as a local vpn on your phone to filter tracking stuffs from other apps, mostly just acts like a firewall with their tracker list on it

While I'm on the microblogging side of fedi I'm gonna be staying far away from Threads, I like that there's more attention on ActivityPub now, and they're free to make it if they want, but I just can't see myself using it really.

I don't think anyone disagrees with that, but YouTube today has a lot more ads, especially spammy ones, than YouTube 7 years ago did. This is an issue with them using a business model that doesn't scale very well.

I seriously don't understand why they're so aggressive about this.

I would consider maybe turning off my adblocker if they ran single ads and didn't make them so long, and actually did some curation on their ads so I didn't see a fake MrBeast scam ad or political ad every time. Yet they don't, so I will continue to find ways to block ads until I no longer can.

If anyone here plans to leave one too, make sure to check on it every now and then. In situations like this some app devs will complain to Google and Apple about "brigading" and they'll remove pretty much every low star rating made on certain dates, so you'll have to make your review again.

They're still very focused on having a primarily open source system, but they held a vote and it was decided that it's best for the computer to actually work and then try to be as open source as possible after that.

They did offer the firmware before, but you had to go out of your way to enable it and they didn't provide security updates, was considered unofficially supported. With this, they're considered officially supported, on by default if needed, and get security updates.

If you're curious about the vote they did, it was this one and Proposal E is what won. https://www.debian.org/vote/2022/vote_003#proposere

I always turn them on entirely because of games like Skyrim where you're talking to someone and 4 other NPCs walk up and start chatting right beside you and you can't hear anything

I've been using base Debian with KDE Plasma for the past month or two and gaming on it, and it's worked really well, about as good as any other distro I've used. I always eventually end up back on Debian regardless of what I try using. I could technically get a better experience on rolling release because of mesa and kernel updates, but I've never noticed much of a difference, ymmv depending on hardware though.

They recently started supporting closed-source firmware officially so there's no longer that notorious hunt to find the right .iso just to get your wifi and nvidia GPUs to work.

The gear like one at the top is Kubuntu, and the one beside the gecko is Ubuntu Mate, looks like they're considering distro spins/flavors as individual distros for the list
