- Comment on Google Pay alternative? 5 days ago:
A contactless card in the back of your phone case?
Note - The above answer doesn’t take in where you’re from since you didn’t state so and I imagine there’s plenty of places that can’t simply do that but…even though I could?
I personally won’t bring my C&P / contactless card out of the house unless necessary since it allows would-be finders instant access to withdrawals from my bank account, without any authentication required whatsoever unlike, GPay on my phone which at the very least needs my fingerprint?
It also pisses me off to be honest that my bank won’t supply me with a C&P, non-contactless card like my last bank did :/

See the thing is, I’m pretty Tasker can do that and we ain’t gonna let this meme die?
Make a Tasker widget that invokes said Termux script and we have nice UI too?
- Comment on Freely's Live UK Broadband TV Stream Service Goes Live 2 weeks ago:
I have two Rasp Pi Zero’s stuck behind my TV that cost me £10+£10 DVB HAT’s x 2 (before the COVID scalpers took effect) as a poor mans Homerun server that have plenty of storage - be that a new USB drive stuck in them or even using my NAS with NFS for storage.
Device cost/viability isn’t a thing here.
It’s getting people signing up to a service that’ll be plastered with adverts every 15 mins? I wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole.

They’ll take my TVHeadend servers out of my cold dead hands if they think I’m signing up for that?

We’re on about clean water here for clarity?
- Comment on Thames Water nationalisation plan could move bulk of £15bn debt to state 4 weeks ago:
I don’t want no Thames water thank you very much.
Yorkshire Water, rip us enough already and is an easy supply.
- Comment on Tory MP suspended over alleged misuse of campaign funds 4 weeks ago:
Needing 5k for either/both is a good night out. Don’t fuck about these bois do they, and can we speculate some more since it’ll probably be true?
Yeah, I know it’s 3am but I seriously need this…
- Comment on Drug shortages, now normal in UK, made worse by Brexit, report warns 4 weeks ago:
I was going for illegal drug shortages at first from the title, and then that made me ponder the efficiency of the legal trade routes Vs illegal.

- Comment on Has anyone had success with debloating their Phones? 1 month ago:
I take out Google Play Movies/YouTube/YouTube Music etc on every phone I buy these days especially since YT is a website and should not, be a system app and replaced by Newpipe.
Other than that I also like to delete my DCIM folder every now and then since it gets backed up to “my cloud” and seems to keep things, cleaner?
Shout out to SD Maid if you’re keen on cleaning things up?
- Comment on ‘It went nuts’: Thousands join UK parents calling for smartphone-free childhood 2 months ago:
Yep, and then you have the blue Vs green bubble debacle.
As a fully grown adult the amount of shit I get from friends and co-workers for not using WhatsApp is crazy.
- Comment on How can I find why certain apps are draining my battery (when they are not in use)? 3 months ago:
I’m surprised this is still up, and if it works.
But Battery Historian is what you’re after
- Comment on What would your recommended budget ($200-400) phones be? 5 months ago:
Just be aware with Xiaomi phones that you might be restricted for certain things.
You can’t unlock without setting up a Xiaomi account that includes, from memory, your email address, phone number, and date of birth.
Your memory really is not great, and you can use throwaway emails to deal with registering/receiving codes from them.
- Comment on Do Alarms Turn Off Automatically After a Long Period of Time? 5 months ago:
You’re using sleep as android
OP could’ve changed the settings according to the docs to repeat backup alarms with that app :)

RIP their neighbour.
Fun tidbit? I have a Cubot King Kong Pro (yes, it’s called that) which has the old Nokia feature of actually turning the phone on if its off to sound a scheduled alarm. I left my Cubot in my locker at work and it wasn’t until I got back in a week or so later did my locker neighbour tell me about my locker, making funny sounds…I have “Fuck You Mr Garrison” as one of my alarm tones.
Ooops.
- Comment on Does the webp vulnerability (CVE-2023-4863) affect the Bromite browser? 6 months ago:
What data in particular are you after pulling from Bromide?
I’ve never used it so not aware of its interface but most browsers allow you to grab your usernames / passwords (tip: it’s a bad idea to store them in a browsers data and a password manager the better route) even if it means doing each one individually if it doesn’t allow mass exporting of data.
But as the above commenters have said using an out of date browser is something to put soke time aside to fix. Good luck!
- Comment on I need a little help... 7 months ago:
You can do a few of the shake gestures with Tasker actually, but Moto gestures generally require some fiddling about with the ROM itself and isn’t something Lineage offers out of the box AFAIK.
- Comment on Lawnchair alternative? 8 months ago:
I’ve used Neo Launcher ever since that Nova crap came about, and actually had to just double check I was using Neo still since it just…works as my Launcher?
Which brings me onto another point which always made me curious people who used to say that using Live Wallpapers saying it decimates your battery life and well, it probably would if you spent all day looking at it, but then I got thinking how much time do I spend looking at my home/Launcher screen :thinkyface:
Turns out, not much.

That sounds like your

Sorry.

- Comment on Revealed: undercover UK police officer deceived woman into 19-year relationship 8 months ago:
Mary’s family, who live in an area in which relations with police have been fraught for many years, are concerned that members of their community may learn about the relationship and wrongly conclude that she knowingly collaborated with police.
Also known as a “pig fucker”.
You get labelled with that round 'ere and things are never the same again. Horrible stigma.
- Comment on Weather app 8 months ago:
It’s simply being able to swipe up/down/left/right on the radar to scan the different factors of weather coming it, especially when I’m going to work.
I work outside all day long but also travel to work on an escooter too so knowing if it’s gonna be windy/pissing it down or, sunny (UK here, this is rare) factors in how I arrive by foot/scoot and what I need to wear that day.
- Comment on Weather app 8 months ago:
I use FlowX (formerly Weather bomb).
Might not be the prettiest of apps but sure gives up lots of data from different sources, and someone else said I like the radar aspect of it.
- Comment on Is there a way to make my phone screen stop waking up when I unplug it? 8 months ago:
Yeah I’m just been a little tongue in cheek and keeping your screen active would probably make Greta mad and possibly lead to burn in on your screen.
Both of these are undesirable, and there might be something out there for ya. Gotta ask, why, do you want this specifically?
Like I unplug maybe once a day so it’s not an issue here, but curious why it’s irking you?
- Comment on Is there a way to make my phone screen stop waking up when I unplug it? 8 months ago:
Technically, you can actually by changing this developer setting
If your screen never turns off whilst charging then fixed it, right?
…runs away. 😇

Like others say, blind tapping might be the best option here and if [] can share a screenshot of where that clicky is…?
- Comment on 9 months ago:
You’re never going to find that on any OEM skin simply because some apps themselves don’t adhere to certain (Material/other) Guidelines / aren’t on a particular version of Android.
Hell, this app from Lemmy I’m using doesn’t have context or nothing else other than reply to in a blank reply box
