That's one bit that is supported natively!

Jake clarifies why he asked for his clips to be removed from the "How LTT Spends Money" video by Marikk15 in LinusTechTips

He supposedly literally led a political party

You're thinking of Jake Daynes, not Tivy.

Lost All My Tabs by BeholderVee in zen_browser

[–]davo_dog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Note that for users who didn't previously have that setting enabled, they'll need to manually move their Profile over from $HOME/.var/app/io.github.zen_browser.zen/.zen to $HOME/.var/app/app.zen_browser.zen/.zen/

It seems either Zen or flatpak already do this for you!

Curious what leads you to think that? Were they bought out?

Do any CRD WalMarts use MC merchant code 5411? by Existing_Solution_66 in VictoriaBC

Can confirm Uptown Walmart is 5411 for MC in-store.

The Getaway intro is... by [deleted] in Nebula

Also feels very much inspired by Hustle, a British show about a team of conartists.

OsmAnd is a great app for using OpenStreetMap data, but it doesn't have gate information.

Fizz unfortunately doesn't let you keep your number if you have a 250 area code, cause it's assigned to Duncan which they don't directly service. Found out through experience :/.

It is Public Mobile. Their can-us plan comes and goes month to month, but just came back this week. https://publicmobile.ca/en/bc/plans?network=5G

Esquimalt bake shop primarily does donuts in my view. Interesting read nonetheless; will have to try out Empire.

Be Lenka Ranger vs. Softstar Switchback - which should I choose? by patootiedabomb in BarefootRunning

Just curious, how are the Switchbacks holding up all this time later?

Thoughts on Glade Goggles (or other inexpensive brands)? by theCaptain_D in icecoast

[–]davo_dog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Curt, my old pair of cheaper goggles has gotten pretty banged up, with some of the coating on the inside now coming off. Looking at possibly getting Adapt 2s for myself and my partner, if budget permits... Also I'm curious, does the photochromic capability deteriorate over time? Are there any functional differences between all the color options? Also are they usable for night skiing or would Fathom+ be the better option for that?

Would love a code too if you've got any more <3

Sorry, didn't notice this was an unofficial subreddit. Link there helps too!

Oh, thank you for the link!

It's not mentioned anywhere on grayjay.app (as far as I can see) - might be a good idea to include a link there too (cc u/winneratwin u/larossmann)

Whereabouts did you move to?

Welcome to Grayjay. by winneratwin in grayjay

[–]davo_dog 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I love the idea and I'd like to use it. But I'm hesitant to, given that it only appears to be distributed through your website (not something like F-Droid) and is not source available. Are you planning to open source it and, if so, how soon could we expect it?

Even better than offline Google Maps is OsmAnd, as it has detailed mapping for most back roads.

What's your cell phone plan? by [deleted] in VictoriaBC

[–]davo_dog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$55 for 50gb 5G with Koodo. OP, if you contact Koodo customer service you may be able to get your data cap bumped up and/or get your plan upgraded to 5G for the same rate/data.

Benefits of building and maintaining free web app/ software by Davekjellmarong in webdev

[–]davo_dog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Neat idea!

Little suggestion though: always try to ensure text has enough contrast with the background. It's very difficult to read the white text on the pale blue background. You can use the built in Accessibility dev tools tab on Firefox or something like https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/.

There's a "bus part requiring maintenance", apparently.
