This has only started for me after the last 6.1 update.

The only app I have to autoluanch is Betterbird.

I think the Austin Allegro would like to challenge you for a car with absolutely zero redeeming qualities.

I accidentally watched YouTube the other night without adblock, OMFG what an experience.

If I can't watch with adblock I'll just stop using it, it's only a rabit hole to waste time for me anyway.

Link previews seem to be broken since upgrade. As you can see this isn't from all instances so is this a federation issue or an upgrade issue?

For what it's worth I get the same experience in Voyager app on Android as well as web-ui.

Anyone else experiencing the same?

They did the same to Huawei and lots followed. This has nothing to do with security and all to do with preventing China's leap ahead of US as a global economic technology powerhouse

I'm looking to replace my Garmin Vivoactive 4 and most likely with Xiaomi or Amazfit. I'm currently struggling with the dilemma, I've narrowed it down to the following: Redmi Watch 4 - cheapest option but reviews suggest buggy and not that accurate Xiaomi Watch S3 - reasonable cost, long battery life running HyperOS Xiaomi Watch 2 - the new one not the pro, runs WearOS so battery life not as good but overall more feature rich Amazfit GTR4 - must expensive and mixed reviews Anyone owning these watches with real world experience I'd love to hear your take on them.

No editing. The Florida night sky seems different from anything I've seen before in Europe.

I have an oldish Dell Latitude 7480 which doesn't meet the requirements for upgrade to Windows 11 so I thought I'd take the opportunity to install Linux on it as I only really need it for day to day web stuff / studying / media and light gaming.

My first choice was Linux Mint but, for some reason it would not recognise that the laptop had a wifi card. So I tried Manjaro but felt Arch wasn't for me so opted for Pop_OS and whilst everything I want works I thought I'd use the time to distro hop live environments to see what else was out there.

I know live envs doesn't give you the full picture but to be honest I was more interested in the aesthetic appeal of the DE.

Where my curiosity lies is this, from my understanding Linux Mint is based on underlying Ubuntu as is Pop_OS, so how come both Pop_OS and Ubuntu recognise the wi-fi card out of the box so to speak but Mint doesn't.

This is the wifi card in question:

   description: Wireless interface
   product: Wireless 8265 / 8275
   vendor: Intel Corporation
   physical id: 0
   bus info: pci@0000:02:00.0
   logical name: wlp2s0
   version: 78
   serial: cc:2f:71:ec:52:b1
   width: 64 bits
   clock: 33MHz
   capabilities: pm msi pciexpress bus_master cap_list ethernet physical wireless
   configuration: broadcast=yes driver=iwlwifi driverversion=6.6.6-76060606-generic firmware=36.ca7b901d.0 8265-36.ucode ip=192.168.1.6 latency=0 link=yes multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11
   resources: irq:131 memory:ec000000-ec001fff

And with this in mind, does anyone have any idea how to get this wi-fi card working with Mint, I'm assuming I need a drive which the other drivers have but Mint, for whatever reason, doesn't have.

Update:

I thought it would be easier to edit the post than reply to you all individually and thanks to everyone who took the time to respond so quickly.

I've just re-tried with the latest version 21.3 and it all works, maybe by newbie brain did something wrong with the first install.

I'll probably stick with Pop_OS as it does what I need and I quite like the Gnome interface.

But again, thank you all for your input it's awesome to know that swift help is available for ~~idiots~~ newbies like me.

I've noticed a distinct degradation in speed on lemm.ee since the upgrade.

The website seems fine but any app appears to struggle with the lemm.ee site.

The only exception appears to be Voyager app and it may be that as a web app it doesn't appear to have the same problem.

Jerboa can't login, says can't connect to instance, this is not a specific v19 issue as I have an account on reddthat.com which is also running v19.0 and that logs in without issue.

Voyager struggles to load my profile.

I migrated here from fmhy and then feddit.uk after it appeared to be abandoned, I'd really not like to migrate again but it's starting look like that's the only option ;-(

This I actually learned today from another user's pain post about Android 14.

I've been using Android phones for about 5 years and had no idea ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They couldn't possibly make the experience worse than it already is without an ad blocker.

No adblock = No youtube

It's exciting news for them 😀, money money money

Maybe also try making Firefox tablet compatible like almost every other browser.

Currently it's just a bloated phone UI on tablet, it's the one thing stopping me from using as my daily browser on mobile devices.

Headquartered in the US so I wouldn't guarantee it.
This was against Google specifically but I would imagine it would hold up against any US based search engine they felt someone was using.

My scream was internal

I can guarantee you mine would have been, high, loud and extremely external.

I think the expression, I would've woken the dead, would fit.

This is why I use Smartube on my android TV and revanced/NewPipe on my phone.

The few times I've witnessed naked YouTube it's made be realise that if any of the sources mentioned stop working then I'm simply not going to use YouTube.

Or offload them at the DNS so they dont even get to the device in the first instance.
