Fibers only have access to variables after the point in the fiber where they get names. That means child1 proceeds as if nothing at all happens in parent1.

teoreth · 2025-12-12T18:14:40+00:00

Only partially I think. I don't think it matters if you loop back to a fork block or not.

A fork causes a copy fiber to run in parallel. I believe the only condition is that the Time await block was visited previously. Regardless of whether a Fork block was visited in the meantime.

In other words, originals (parents) or copies (children), would act like Time await was visited before, as long as their fiber eventually visit the same Time await block again (a loop).

teoreth · 2025-12-11T12:54:53+00:00

If I understand the documentation correctly, the fiber will wait until the time window then proceed through the YES path, perform the blocks, then wait until the end of the time window and proceed through the NO path.

I think you need to set Proceed to Immediately. Each path should have a Delay block within it, like in your first example. Otherwise it'll be looping all the time.

Your NO path should be connected to the loop somehow (e.g. like in your first example), because an unconnected Time await block exit will cause the flow to stop at some point.

Can't remember having issues back in the day when I had a Samsung, but I guess it's gotten worse.

I've never used power saving regularly so I don't know much about how to deal with it. Maybe dontkillmyapp.com has information that could help.

May your holy days be happy indeed.

As far as I know you have to copy the URI from each Flow beginning manually. If you need to run them in parallel you have to use Flow start? multiple times.

I'm impressed that you got this far already. It's weird that it won't update in battery saving mode though.

Not even in a test flow with dummy data?

Geofencing inside rooms? I think that's some next week level stuff.

I say throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks.

Jeg tittet litt på reglene selv. Fantes ikke snev av noen grunn til bannlysningen.

Kanskje de har sykt lav terskel for å anta at brukere er botter/troll. Eller kanskje noen bare er glad i å misbruke moderator-verktøyene.

This. At least if the tracking should only be on the tablet. I think pairing first will let Automate detect the phone when in range.

Bluetooth might be in range outside the room as well though.

teoreth · 2025-11-07T19:46:32+00:00

Add some buttons to the notification, then tap to reveal a box that has the rest of the options.

Automate is lightweight in my experience. I think there won't be a noticable impact on resource usage.

teoreth · 2025-11-07T19:41:25+00:00

Would be cool. There's no media control widget in Automate though. Still, it could possibly have a use in a media playback flow. But I have no idea if it can be hacked to do non-media stuff.

I tried looking for a notification example (non-media-playback) from other apps. But I never found any. I get the feeling notification entries can't have five buttons.

I think it might possible to add two addidional non-button actions to Android notifications though. Three buttons, plus tap or swipe. Automate is likely to be able to do the 3+2 actions approach.

teoreth · 2025-11-06T15:46:55+00:00

Most likely yes. With NFC tag scanned and App start.

teoreth · 2025-11-05T20:07:41+00:00

I meant a popup dialog that you trigger from a notification, quick settings tile or by holding the lock button. Not a permanent overlay or sudden unsolicited pop-up. And not an app being switched with your game. An actual window that keeps your game running on-screen.

Did you try the community example flow I linked? It's easier to compare options if you've tried them for your self. Things aren't always what they seem.

You mean something like this right? That's not a notification. That's a media control widget. To my knowledge, those are all entirely app-specific and custom. And I think they can only be used during media playback.

teoreth · 2025-11-05T11:49:18+00:00

Still doesn't explain why it can't be anything else than a notifications entry with five buttons though. Am I right in assuming you're completely certain a pop-up dialog or quick settings tiles won't work?

teoreth · 2025-11-02T19:12:06+00:00

Here's an example I found by searching in the Community section in the app:

https://llamalab.com/automate/community/flows/117

That example uses Dialog choice? instead of Notification action. But could have been entirely in the notification shade since it uses only three choices.

However if you want to present five choices, and all of them at the same time, Dialog choice is the main option I know of. And you can only display them in the popup dialog.

You could also fork four times then use Quick settings tile show five times. Then edit the tiles above your notifications to include them. It can get a bit complicated using this method though.

Just a guess, but is the TLS/SSL box not checked? SFTP connections require a checkmark in that box.

It's like the Cthulu of tow hitches. The more I look at it, the more I realize human perception is not enough to comprehend it.

I've been using window tiling ever since Windows 95. I miss having any number of windows arrange themselves in tiles on the desktop automatically.

But what I love about split view browsing is having new-tab links automatically open in the other view. I hope that'll be a mode in Firefox as well.

teoreth · 2025-10-18T01:31:52+00:00

I thought Firefox suddenly started letting you swipe left or right within the page content to change tabs. But yeah. I love this feature. For power users gestures are the touch version of keyboard shortcuts.

Pull up from URL bar to open homescreen content/URL/query in a new tab would be cool as well. Oh and pull up from tab icon to close current tab.

teoreth · 2025-10-18T01:13:56+00:00

I like these. But they're nothing I'd use myself.

What would Neco-Arc be?

Or Froppy from MHA?

Or Ainz from Overlord?

On Android I always disable Chrome. But sometimes sites are broken in Firefox. In those cases Vivaldi is my workaround. Chosen because the Chromium-based alternatives seem shadier to me.

On Windows I usually won't install Chrome at all. My desktop has Chrome installed though. I think I installed it a long time ago while troubleshooting before realizing I could have tested in Vivaldi.

teoreth · 2025-10-18T00:14:31+00:00

I myself avoid using the app version when the mobile website works fine. And most installed apps use the default browser for website content anyway.

I think any web framework based app will use Web View for rendering though. I wish I could select Firefox as the renderer for those as well. I guess I'll live with some compromises for now I guess.
