KDE's Android TV alternative, Plasma Bigscreen, rises from the dead with a better UI in c/opensource@lemmy.ml
[–] GlenRambo@jlai.lu 2 points 17 hours ago

Tried this 6-9 months ago and it was a shambles that I could hardly get working.

The main issue (once it was working) was program (Stremio) not supporting keyboard only options.

I also wanted to run android apps full screen (like a dog nvidia shield) but it was chaos.

I thought it was abandoned.

What do you think can be done to improve the starwars brand? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Just stop? Some things don't need to be a "brand". There fine as one shots.

Down voted to hell but whatever.

Xmanager it installs spotify patched without ads and premium features, the same as using revanced really. Its been cat and mouse for a long time but its pretty much down now.

Similar for the manga apps. They constantly get formed and taken down.

Invidious for YouTube is another example. Great when these things work but they need constant patching and fixing. The average person can't just pick them up and use them.

Agree 100%.

And re maps they are hardly in my country let alone my region. I'd be the only one "helping" the mapping so I'd be doing my own maps.

Really n wish there was an alternative (yes some address searches > open maps exist but its not seamless)

Recommendations for eBook reader devices, please in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
[–] GlenRambo@jlai.lu 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Am I right in thinking the steps here scrape metadata images etc for the eBooks you already have. And that you may already own them via legal or high seas methods.

Or is there a way for Calibre to auto download eBooks from somewhere.

Implying Lemmy is the best/only place to get political news. :/

Some of us come here for fun and get our doom elsewhere.

I think the whole key is more of a conversation starter than just QR code. We all know what they are and dont ask people questions aboit them.

What's the worst rated film that you love? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] GlenRambo@jlai.lu 2 points 1 month ago

10,000 BC.

It got thst award for worst movie of the year. I get that its in no way historical accurate. And even in it's own world maybe it doesn't make sense thst the tribes never have met. But dang its just a fun action movie.

Winge about New Dark Colour - Molly only (jlai.lu)
submitted 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) by GlenRambo@jlai.lu to c/signal@lemmy.ml

I use Molly but I'm sure its the same for Signal.

A recent update seems to ~~use my wallpaper accent colour to drive the~~ use a purple colour for the Dark Theme.

For some reason, to me, its really jarring.

While you can change the chat colours and wallpaper (although its more limited or you have to import your own). The purple still shows it many spots.

I'm pretty sure this is what changed unless I'm loosing my mind. I much preferred the old look by a mile.

App to fill in and sign PDFs (jlai.lu)
 

Looking for an app thst let's me add text boxes (not just annotation comments) and singing to a PDF.

Most of what I've found only does annotations.

I have obtanium so its ok if not hosted directly on f-droid.

Best Way to Get Notified About New Movie Releases? (jlai.lu)
 

I'm trying to find a simple way to keep track of movie releases that I'm interested in. Is there an app or website where I can just type in the movie name and get notified when it's available?

I've seen some posts mentioning setting up RSS feeds, but that seems a bit complicated for what I need. Ideally, I want something where I can just hit "get notified" and then receive an email or notification when the movie is released.

Any recommendations? Thanks!

(Not just when they are released in cinema but as 1080 or 4k)

Linux on iMac? (jlai.lu)
 

Question is title.

In the past I've installed many distros on many older PCs, but never used linux properly (although slowly moving over to avoid win11). I've also had a heap of history with windows installs.

A family member has been testing Mint on an old laptop and is going well. This is a trial run before I update their iMac laptop (not sure what one but no longer supposed by OS updates).

I've never booted to an iMac BIOS or installed over top of apple.

  • Is this going to be like installing over windows?
  • What issues can I expect?
  • Should I consider another distro?

Asking here as searching results in AI bullshit websites.

Podcast like search for YouTubr channels (jlai.lu)
 

I'm looking for a way to browse YT or find creators I might like.

In the long run I'd like to use YT like my podcasts. Thst is, play the new content daily/weekly form people I follow rather than mindlessly scrolling the algorithm.

With most podcast apps I can just see categories and go through the top creators in each category. Along with seeing how often content is posted. This way I can also check out other random categories and find content outside what is normally like.

Searching YT just gets all the clickbate and my algorithm is pretty rubbish. Im using Tubular and SmartTube, but perhaps there is a website or other way to find creators?

What YouTube channels post content similar to TV shows? (jlai.lu)
 

I'm sure there are channels that run similar to Public TV. They may post a regular show, or a variety of shows.

Maybe web-series is the word to use. They must be of decent quality and updated within the last 6 months.

I'm know not looking for documentaries, essay videos, pranks, reviews or vlogs.

And not 1-2 people going around doing whatever, or a group of people that sit with a static backdrop chatting or pulling up graphics.

I'm looking for funny game shows, dating shows, reality tv, sit coms, drama, variety shows, comedy or anything that would be similar to flicking through over the air TV (but not jsut shows copied from TV).

Outlook Calander Sync Issues (jlai.lu)
 

I've got a few accounts on my phone, and the calanders are set up to sync.

When I look in the outlook app I can see the outlook events as expected.

When I use the Samsung Calender app (preferred), the Google Calander app, or any other Calander apps the outlook Calander has issues.

Some events appear, others don't, some seem to disappear etc. I think it's to do with android and the syncing of the Calander, but I'm not sure what.

I've used the reset account button in the outlook app, and deleted and re-added the account.

Voyager seems to constantly use sensor (jlai.lu)
 

Not sure what's going on here. But it's the only app listed that is constantly using a sensor.

Change local instance (jlai.lu)
 

Is it possible to set the local button to show another instance?

Ideally when signed in but I'd also be happy to swap to a guest/anonymous account.

It saves having to make many instance logins. And I think it's voyager that allows this.

Good work and cheers
