If you keep on closing the YouTube app, and clicking on the URL, eventually after 2 or 3 tries the YouTube app won't have an ad it will go straight to the video. Saves a lot of time especially if there's 2 ads.

Don't threaten me with a good time

Years ago when I had an iPhone I used Darksky, then used it in Android when I switched too, until Apple bought it.

I've seen answers around on other sites, but wondering what apps people use?

Would love to see a similar functionality available on Android 14 someday.

I think it's just the natural progression of things. It will die down probably by mid July after the changes have been made. I'm sure this also happened on reddit after the migration from Digg.

[-] hackitfast@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

This seems like an entirely different issue. It may be worth looking into to see if there's a bug reported on Android's bugtracker, I'm sure Google is aware of the issue, maybe it will be fixed in Android 14.

Make sure to download AccuBattery and check to see if something is taking up more battery

The last full session I have is almost 7 hour SoT from 100% to 21%, though that's before I updated to the June update. I can update again when I have the latest SoT.

Yeah, if anything I'm enjoying watching the way this dumpster fire plays out. I'll probably hang on for as long as I can and keep using my Relay Pro app until reddit fizzles away on June 30th, then overwrite all my comments or erase my accounts.

What's happening is for the best. It's better to just accept that reddit is no longer, and that we can foster real communities within Lemmy that can no longer be taken away from us by CEO's with micropeens. Power can now be distributed collectively into the fediverse without the need for advertising or data collection. The future of the internet is in the federated internet 😊

Yeah battery is one of my complaints as well. It can't really handle heavy use, but if you're doing medium amounts of messaging or calling through the day it'll get you from 8 am to 11pm easy, maybe 20% left by then.

Camera on this phone is absolutely god tier though.

Since there's no self posts here yet, I thought I'd bring up a question for those that decided to settle into Lemmy. Welcome to those here so far!

There's a ton of reasons to choose the a Pixel, but what's one or two major points that keep you hooked?

For me, I'm in love with the speed of the UI, and of course the ability to sideload apps if I want. Being in control of a device you spend a lot of money on makes a lot of sense.

Here's my take, I grabbed it from my reddit comment, it's slightly out of context so excuse that:

I do think reddit will continue to function, but its communities and services will undoubtedly begin to change following July 1st as users begin to shift to different platforms like Lemmy, Kbin, and Squabbles.

And don't think that as reddit aims for quarterly growth, they won't try to pull more shit on their users. It's only a matter of time before reddit is an amalgamation of Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

RPAN probably failed because either nobody wanted to use their first party app, or were using old.reddit.com. RPAN was their first attempt at reddit trying to "catch the waves" of services like YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Instagram Reels. The most recent r/place was the second attempt at getting people to use their mobile app.

Expect reddit to keep adding "trend catching" features over the next year or so while you're confined to reddit.com without RES, and reddits mobile app. Unfortunately, reddit will eventually it will be a shell of what reddit once was, and the users that choose to stay will be the ones willing to put up with their shit.

So yes, of course the point is to make money! Though it will almost always be poorly reflected on its users, and they'll go any length to make sure they're doing just enough to keep you here but not enough for you to want to leave. Users will make their decision to stay or leave over the coming months as you see this "enshiftification".

Here's a good article on this, it's very interesting:

That's very tempting, but there's no telling if reddit will raise API pricing going forward, or add more restrictions to 3rd party apps. Their community has gone to shit anyway. Better to just pull the plug entirely and start anew.

[-] hackitfast@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Those that stay probably weren't aware of what they were missing out on.

Hoping that those that leave find themselves a cozy place here on Lemmy.

[-] hackitfast@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

After June 30th Lemmy is still my new home. I won't browse reddit without Relay Pro.

I've been seeing a lot of pro-reddit, anti-mod comments, despite tens of thousands of up votes on Reddit blackout posts. Pro-reddit comments also have a ton of gold for some reason.

Is reddit trying to change the narrative towards hating on mods for "ruining everything" before they try and remove them?

[-] hackitfast@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I think this is my first post?

But yeah same here, most of my issues come from stability as of right now, otherwise Lemmy is fantastic.
