Sounds like a bug and the dev hasn’t caught up to the new version?

one has micro transactions that googles gets to skim from and the other doesn’t.

Top right corner, there’s a Collage Humor watermark.

It explains why this is so inaccurate

You also don’t want to be his companion…you’re best off jumping to a different reality and getting far away from London.

Driving somewhere unknown, I need gas…“hey phone, take me to the nearest gas station” “okay, here’s a tiny list of gas stations to choose from, please click the one you want”

Hands free navigation at its finest.

I don’t see how they would profit from doing this to a library.

They profit from whoever is paying them.

I wound not mind ads if they met the following conditions (in no particular order).

• Actually vet them, no scams and viruses.
• minimal obstruction to what I’m there for. A bilboard on the side of the highway is fine, but when they put in the road, there’s a problem.
• Mix it up. YouTube playing the same ad 500 times in a row is obnoxious.
• No yelling/loud shit. Play your ad, don’t blow out my speakers.
• If on a silent website, video ads must be auto muted.
• if I’m on data or a metered network, don’t auto play ads and keep the total data usage to a minimum.
• Medical and health ads aren’t allowed. You can have PSAs about conditions and that there are treatment options, but it should your doctor researching and recommending specific medicine not a patient going in with some ad.

They must have gotten one of those puzzles that’s nothing but cultural references from the 90’s

As a library community, we are seeing other cyber attacks—[…]. We hope these attacks are not indicative of a trend.

Ummm…that’s the definition of a trend.

On my iPad, I use an app called Manga Plus and in landscape I get the two page spreads. I suppose any app that’s supports two-page landscape view would work. But that wouldn’t work well for smaller tablets

Thanks.

i know you said no pixel, however … Pixel + GrapheneOS works great and easy to install.

GrapheneOS takes the google spyware out of pixel. However, it does add a slightly steeper learning curve to Android. Not too bad, just a few more options to poke at.

It doesn’t cut you off from the google play store, instead sandboxing it preventing from accessing data outside its own service. This is important if you need specific apps for work, bank, etc.

For open-source apps F-Droid app store is your friend.

Unfortunately, GrapheneOS only works for pixel. There are other options you could look into such as LinageOS, but those goes beyond my personal knowlage. Specifically you want a phone that allows you unlock the bootloader.

Avoid Samsung like the plague.

Any version of Android that comes pre-installed is going to have Google Spyware and bloat. Manufactures, especially Samsung, spin up their own version of Android so then you have both Googles bloat and Samsung bloat.

Yes, the “best purchase” questions are a bit frequent. However, where else can you go these days? Facebook? Amazon Reviews? AI article #28462? Paid YT influencers?

Forms like Lemmy are one the last places you can ask and get reasonable honest human answers for purchase advice. Reviews and troubleshooting are last 2 reasons I go to reddit, and even then reviews over there can be iffy on mainstream stuff.

No this can still work, hear me out. He just has to call the cops first.

When they show up, they will instinctively assume its one of those “donut on a string” eating contest and gobble em up.
