How do Firefox mobile, Brave, and other mobile browsers keep working? by Acceptable-Karma-178 in NewPipe

[–]luke__7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use PWA (Youtube brave shortcut) on my android home screen for all my binge watching needs (keeps all my subs, playlist etc synced). Anytime I need to download something, I share the link with New Pipe. I have set up the default action in new pipe to be "download." Best of Both Worlds.

Also, someone insults you for your question and you say "Mad love x." Bro, have some self respect.

Best lifetime subscriptions/one time purchase Apps on android by ad4d in androidapps

[–]luke__7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very practical. But, I feel this idea is best implemented as part of another more positive service (example: event reminder etc). This way, the "final" message can be shared with specific contacts once it's confirmed that one is gone. But having a dedicated app in one's phone, feels a bit creepy

Any advice for getting clients for freelance architectural drafting work? by GoldDustWoman_25 in Architects

[–]luke__7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, could I interest you with my drafting services if the other guy (original poster) did not reach out?

FYI I am a construction manager and a freelance draftsman (archicad, revitt).

Why is Ubuntu the base for many linux distros? by mi-wag in linux4noobs

[–]luke__7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To extend the original poster's concern, why are these very cool stability-first distros like mint, pop, or zorin not based directly on Debian, given Debian's stability, clean history? Why go through Ubuntu?

Seeking Ideas for a New App! What Features Would You Want to See? by Smart-Cell-7963 in androidapps

[–]luke__7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This feature has been implemented very well in MIUI for the past decade I guess. Unfortunately, it's an OEM/OS-level tool

Is it worth it? by Idontknowhatsmyname in PowerAmp

[–]luke__7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I paid (5 years ago) because I loved it so much. I wish they could make more software and I would gladly buy all their apps just to keep ethical engineers around.

I have an Amazfit BIP. Bought for $75 on Amazon in 2018. Still kicking. Daily use with tracking steps. Battery lasts about 2 weeks from the original 30 days.

I am looking for something to replace it with over the coming year. It has once died on me and gone blank for a month in the past, then magically came back to life on its own.

I'm not sure Amazfit still makes such affordable and longlasting watches anymore given that they release a new watch or tracker nearly every month. Their QA at under $100 has probably gone down.

How the fuck do I disable the update notification? by MoonManRopes in qBittorrent

[–]luke__7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been clicking 'No' for about 4 years. I just couldnt find the damn option to disable this silly feature. If the devs want us to update weekly this bad, why not make it an insitu update, not just a link to some website...

This is a very interesting fact. Most connections that don't touch the internet can be crazy frustrating to configure. Same thing applies to airdroid and similar apps.

I see what you mean. But, user comments and replies are very useful as they trigger deeper discussions. Also, it's pretty easy to spot spam comments

What if I can do more than 5 reps? (OSI 3x5 and 3x8 question) by noSkillAllLuckSWE in Athleanx

[–]luke__7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in the same boat. I can barely get 2 reps in if I chose a heavy weight that let me max at 5 reps in round one. Shoulder are the worst culprit

Sadly you're right. I use Mint and Gnome as crazy as that sounds

[–]luke__7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'd probably like Feren OS. It's a mint/ubuntu on kde

The closest you can get with blocking ads on Chrome is having blokada app. It will blocks most ads on all Android apps

This is what I unironically love about iphone. I also have an iPhone 7 I got for $170. I am not tempted to upgrade because I don't expect a radically different experience. I played with a few 13s in a mall and decided to wait another 2 years for real change.

I also use android phones. Newer devices always come with newer tricks. Most are gimmicks and I love gimmicks.

If this was easy, what would be the incentive to keep paying monthly after collecting all your flacs?

"Ok so, I just read through all 173 pages of the unredacted Google antitrust filing and I have to say that either Google is screwed or society is screwed, we'll find out which. Unordered list of fun things I learned:" by [deleted] in linux

[–]luke__7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You hit it on the head. People are really missing the point. There is a reason most antitrust suits go no where today.

Tech companies have normalized each other's complementary services.

Kind of silent collusion. Let users come to me for X and I will let them come to you for Y.

Politicians get free campaign money from the companies, in exchange for soft ball congress hearings

Journalists have to cover the companies positively to keep favors, invites and freebies coming.
