there's a lot of inconsistencies with Nothing, you don't really notice at first but it's hard to unsee

I use Island for it now. I just thought it was a neat feature to have baked into the OS. Completely unnecessary for most people but saves me a bunch of clicks when customizing a new phone

nice wallpaper! never heard of nobara but looking at it, it looks similar to Zorin OS. what's your experience so far?

watching the Celtics get stronger each passing season brings me great anxiety as a heat fan

they were godsends back in the OnePlus 6/7 days because their phones and custom OS was meant to be more root friendly than the rest. it was what sold me and a buddy of mine on them in the first place

sadly, it's gone south now but it was fun back when it happened

i mean in this case, if you're planning to root you'd much rather use a custom OS that will still give you OS updates

or, just buy a different android and avoid the bs entirely

didn't work for me at first too, but other YouTube specific ad blockers had side effects (videos opened in new tabs would play automatically instead of waiting for you to switch to that tab, etc)

here's what I did:

• reset uBlock to default settings, then purge caches and update

• clear all caches in your browser (in Firefox/Chrome you can just search for cache in the settings search bar and it'll come up)

• fully close and reopen browser

installing better adblockers

or just updating uBlock lol. not sure what YouTubes team was expecting here

TrackerControl

Google claims that privacy is a priority

lmfao

You can somewhat protect your own privacy via VPNs, adblockers... I personally use TrackerControl, which for the most part can identify and block unnecessary trackers and URL connections on an app-by-app basis to better protect your privacy

my mind is telling me no, but my body, my body

can someone explain how exactly Lemmy works? I was told it was something like an alternative to reddit, but I don't understand what instances are
