Did you purchase your phone from T-Mobile? I'm on T-Mobile but I always buy my Pixels direct from Google. All updates have come direct from Google, no T-Mobile involvement at all.

Don't need it if you're using Cromite, as it uses AdBlockPlus filters by default: https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/easylist.txt

Microsoft has added basically the same functionality to Power Toys, called Run[0], taking heavy inspiration from Everything. But yeah this should be a built-in utility. [0]: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows&#x2

This might be something I'm looking for. I've pretty much stopped logging into reddit since the API changes earlier this year. However, there's a couple specific subreddits I'd like to keep up to date on (my local city,

Has anyone used PlantNet's app[0] and compared accuracy to iNaturalist? Been using the former and it seems to identify successfully, though I can't say I've used to identify more "exotic" fauna. Might give iNaturali

Old thread, but looks like due to non-FOSS dependencies, it's not likely to happen: https://github.com/inaturalist/iNaturalistAndroid/issues/104...

The Moment lenses and cases are probably the most well-received lenses for mobile devices. They have macro lenses as well: https://www.shopmoment.com/mobile/phone-lenses

I use DDG's browser too, especially when I need to access site and don't care about cookies or saving history of that site (the private address generating feature is nice too). On my Pixel, I use FF mainly, but also have DDG and C

On Pixel devices, the default launcher is the Pixel launcher, and you can't remove the search bar on the homescreen. But like you said, you can install a different launcher.

The search bar on the home screen referenced by OP is a Pixel launcher exclusive, which is the default installed launcher on Pixel devices. You can't remove it. You can install an third-party launcher however. You can also use a widget

I've seen Inter used so much, that I instantly recognize it whenever it pops up on a website. Definitely a good font, but fear it may be overused.

Even though I feel somewhat familiar with most Internet culture, I've never come across the Bad Apple meme, and I've just spent a good hour down the YouTube rabbit hole watching variations of Bad Apple. Fantastic stuff

I use Ultrasonic as well, but I've found Symfonium to be much more stable, especially wrt Android Auto and Chromecasts. There's several other open source Android apps as well. I've been testing out as many apps as I can find

Another vote for navidrome. Easily self-hostable, and since it uses the Subsonic APIs, there's plenty of client apps to choose from (I personally like Symfonium[0] for Android). If you're already using them, both Plex and Jellyfin

From the comments on the verge's article: if you hold down the F5 key, it'll increase the refresh speed. Not sure why you'd want the refresh speed higher though...

If you're looking for a specific program/app, then this is the way. But what the article is talking about is when sorting by the CPU column (for a high usage app), as everything jumps around quite a bit.

Gave it a quick try. Looks nice and minimal for a read-only reddit client. Had to disable strict tracking protection in Firefox for it to work though.

I too was a heavy user of imagus, until it stopped receiving updates and the owner went silent. I know there's a subreddit with some people picking it back up, but I've moved on to HZ+ now. And it's for reasons like the maint

I suggest not using Edge personally, unless you're big into the MS ecosystem. Edge has become a bloated mess, with MS adding all sorts of random crap (bing everywhere, telemetry, a buy-now-pay-later "feature", shopping, click

There seems to be many valid blogs that got skipped due not having the `rel="alternate"` link in the HTML head (mine included). I just added it, as I'm sure others will, so it'd be a good idea to update the list regularl

If you're like me, it's probably due to enhanced tracking protection settings. A lot of Facebook domains get blocked
