Android 10+ required

Apparently not according to the other comments here, but I absolutely love Material You now that a lot of apps support it. Not having every app have its own color scheme just feels comfortable and IMHO makes a lot of sense together with the system-wide dark mode.

Also, the app drawer always has unthemed icons, the themed ones are only for the home screen where I like to keep the few apps that I use often, so not having a colorful mess for a home screen is a bigger plus for me than losing the ability to recognize them at a glance, because I know exactly where on the home screen they are anyway.

I mean, first there was the 4a with its software update that rendered affected batteries nearly useless, then the battery recall for 7a, and now there are apparently some restrictions for the 6a in the new update

it's incorrect bc it destroys multibyte characters

It doesn't. As the poster two levels up said, all bytes that don't represent an ASCII character have the high bit set, even the follow-up bytes in multibyte sequences. So the condition b >= 32 will match and preserve them.

Maybe htop? It's pretty configurable and has decent bars for various resources.

Also if your reason for choosing pure TUI is just resource usage (and not the aesthetics of it / cool feeling / whatever else), then you could maybe look into running something like Sway or Xorg+i3 - those are very lightweight, well suited for single window usage, and open up a lot of possibilities for lightweight GUI apps.

The "correct" way to handle "static" addresses with dynamic prefix is using tokenized network interfaces (which is pretty much just the lower 64 bits of the IPv6 address). That will then be used for SLAAC in addition to the randomly generated address. The support for dynamic prefixes in firewalls on Linux and Mikrotik is however still pretty dire (obviously, as it's not an enterprise feature). No clue about BSDs/pfSense

The question asks for "the best" way to do it (making it opinion based) and forbids a potential solution without explaining why (it's clearly some kind of assignment, but that doesn't matter here). And it has plenty of answers both using Boost and in pure C++, so I'm not sure why that wasn't enough for you. Just because it's closed doesn't mean the answers already provided are bad.

That's weird, it works for me on Android 15 and I could swear it was always the case for me.

A simple way to disable the sound is to press a volume button, tap the small button at the top and pick silent or vibrate there. Does that really not work for you? Btw the screenshot sound is linked to ring volume, not notifications.

But ChatGPT doesn't have a way of "knowing" that there is no such Flatpak - it's unlikely that its training data includes someone explicitly saying that. But it's fair to "assume" that a Linux file manager is available as a Flatpak.

(...), so it's definitely making up stuff.

Yes, it's an LLM

The "security wormhole" is clipboard history managed by the OS. That's all. Crappy clickbait headline.

Honestly, this is not really technobabble. If you imagine a user with a poor grasp of namespaces following a few different poorly written guides, then this question seems plausible and makes sense.

The situation would be something like this: the user wants to look at the container's "root" filesystem (maybe they even want to change files in the container by mounting the image and navigating there with a file manager, not realizing that this won't work). So they follow a guide to mount a container image into the current namespace, and successfully mount the image.

For the file explorer, they use pcmanfm, and for some reason decided to install it through Flatpak - maybe they use an immutable distro (containers on Steam Deck?). They gave it full filesystem access (with user privileges, of course), because that makes sense for a file explorer. But they started it before mounting the container image, so it won't see new mounts created after it was started.

So now they have the container image mounted, have successfully navigated to the directory into which they mounted it, and pcmanfm shows an empty folder. Add a slight confusion about the purpose of xdg-open (it does sound like something that opens files, right?), and you get the question you made up.

 

Pixel 7a is affected by some battery issues and Google now offers a program similar to 4a
