I don't recall. Not gonna lie, it's not as slick looking as the stock one, or as regular android launchers can be, but it's functional.

Edit: It's called Projectivy Launcher.

I was getting "suggestions" to install apps for streaming platforms like Disney or hbo which I had to scroll past before I could start the apps I installed myself.

Maybe you're on a different firmware version from me.

Saying the crop is a porn photo is like saying homeopathy has an active ingredient because "the water remembers".

As long as the cropped picture contains the required colour variety, fine by me.

Now, the real remarkable thing is the fact that you think those two settings are comparable, or that it somehow makes a valid argument.

edit or that you posted this argument so many times. You might have some repressed issues. Honestly, as long as all parties involved are consenting adults, it's okay to like what you like.

Same here. I'm just surprised at how well Signal is holding up.

What a stupid title. As if anybody's buying smart devices in the hope they'll be worth more someday.

My on topic advice: if you rely on your smart TV to get to your content, you're going to have a bad time. Get a small computer instead, and treat your "smart" TV as a monitor, nothing more.

I did get myself an nvidia shield last year, and after switching out the stock launcher for something that doesn't show ads (and better yet, launches straight into plex at boot), I couldn't be happier.

In my experience, these kinds of programs tend to do that. But if the first step of a guide is "go download the dodgy software from a third party file hoster", that's about as big as red flags get.

the futures of both Meta and the Fediverse are heavily intertwined: both are dependent on one another for their success.

That very much depends on your definition of success. If that means monetization, then probably, yes. But if you mean quality content (for the fediverse), I very much doubt it.

I wouldn't call lemmy.world poorly managed.

Yeah, that's why I think it's debatable. It's a lot easier to make those decisions on traffic coming from a known vpn ip, versus all vps providers in the world - many of which have corporate uses.

On the other hand - if you're smart enough to set up a vpn, you'll also be smart enough to set up ad blocking, so the point is kinda moot anyway. Plus you'll be a lot less likely to have your traffic logged opposed to a service vpn.

That's debatable. In my estimation, by using a "service vpn" you're giving advertisers some other kind of demographic information, namely that you're the kind of person that pays for a vpn.

Yups. You're usually better off running one yourself.
