One trick for a better fingerprint recognition is to set 2+ fingers but scan only one finger for all of them.
This may or may not also increase the likelihood of someone else succesfully unlocking your phone with their own fingerprint.
I finally made a full switch from Sync to Thunder, because even though I know that Sync dev does take huge breaks and he comes back and fixes everything and makes the app even better, I still wanted to make sure I find a good alternative and get familiar with it just in case.
Thunder is a really good app, especially considering its age. It also has the most features and the nicest UI (IMO) among the Lemmy apps. And it being open source is a huge plus too.
Sync is still my favorite, it just feels really nice to use, but I'll stay on Thunder for now.
Voyager is also a really nice app that feels polished and works smoothly, but it's lacking certain features that I like. So I keep it installed as a backup but I don't use it often.
I kinda started using lemmy less lately. I shall fix that!
That's cool! What software are you using for drawing/animation?
ShizuTools allows you to run ADB command through intents, which means that you can use Tasker (or other similar app) to run the ADB reboot command. I tested this part and it works.
The problem is that you would need to start Shizuku manually after each restart.
Searching TaskerNet for shizuku, I was able to find some projects that can start shizuku for you, although I haven't tried them out.
So, it does seem possible, but with quite a bit of setup.
Thank you, good to know!
Yeah, thats pretty much how I used it, it's almost always almost full haha.
So what are some things you can do to make sure your SSD lasts longer?

SSD Endurance question.
So, I have Crucial MX500 SSD, and on their spec sheet, the SSD Endurance TBW is 180TB
Crystal Disk Info says the health is at 33% Health, despite Total Host Writes being 54039 GB (30% of specified SSD endurance TBW of 180TB)
So is their specified endurance wrong, is the Total Host Writes data in Crystal Disk Info misleading or wrong, or is there more things that go into determining the "health" of an SSD besides Total Bytes Written? Or could it be that I mistreated the SSD causing its health to get worse?
What does FUTO use? It works pretty good (based on my limited testing) and it works offline.
Image Toolbox would probably be your best bet if you want a native android app.
Check the pinned post on [email protected], it has all the apps for each platform listed.
It's allowed to promote instances as well now, I guess. It used be just communities.
Badly worded post.
Unfortunately no.
I don't think there is a FOSS one that supports it.
I only use FOSS ones. I hop between florisboard and unexpected keyboard, and I gave heliboard a shot again recently because it has the swipe/glide typing but I couldn't stick with it because I was missing other features, so I'm back on floris.
Since I only use open source keyboards, I'm not really concerned about privacy...so no blocking of internet access.
I also thought about trying out the clipboard history, and also am wondering if it's safe...
If you want to try FOSS keyboard again, HeliBoard is your best bet.

Initially made an account on lemmy.ml in 2022. I was eyeing the fediverse, and when I found that there is a "reddit alternative", I wanted to check it out, but there wasn't much activity so I didn't use it much other than checking on it occasionally.
Then in 2023 I made an account on tchncs...when majority of users also hopped on lemmy.
Yeah, OP's post is misleading. Back then, they announced that they will make that change in how votes are displayed.
So they literally did the opposite of what OP is claiming, they started showing real numbers. Those numbers don't seem unrealistic at all to me. Reddit is one of the most popular websites, and the nature of the frontpage will just mean that posts that reach the top will have huge amount of votes.
I don't know why are we still talking about reddit here. I'm pretty sure everyone who is here, already hates it.
Do you think kids should be prohibited from using social media? If yes, how should it be done? If no, why?
I saw this article, which made me think about it...
Kids under 16 to be banned from social media after Senate passes world-first laws
Seeing what kind of brainrot kids are watching, makes me think it's a good idea. I wouldn't say all content is bad, but most kids will get hooked on trash content that is intentionally designed to grab their attention.
What would be an effective way to enforce a restriction with the fewest possible side effects? And who should be the one enforcing that restriction in your opinion?
Oh, I haven't even considered that possibility. As I mentioned before, the PC is old, so anything is possible at this point. I will be testing them again, all at once, but with a different test and see how that goes, if it fails again it could be the controller I guess.
Yeah 1 error with all 4 sticks.
I never really tinkered with voltage settings.
PC is old, so I wouldn't be surprised if things started dying, I'm mostly just trying to pinpoint the broken part so I can remove it.
If you are no longer getting failures, it is possible one of the sticks was loose or had corrosion. The swapping may have "fixed" it.
I also suspected that.
I would test all sticks together once. If they pass, you are good.
Yeah I think I will test them all at once again, maybe with 86+ this time...
Figuring out which RAM stick is faulty
So I've been getting the occasional BSOD and it recently started getting a bit more frequent, so I decided to run a memtest86 over night to check if it's maybe the RAM causing it.
I got 1 error, so then I tested each stick, 1 by 1 (every new stick I would test I also put in a different slot) but I only tested first 3 sticks, thinking that the last one is faulty, since they all passed the test, but yesterday I decided to test the last one as well and that one passed as well. So now I'm confused, not sure what to do...
I was running on 3 sticks for 2 days and I didn't get BSOD, but that still means nothing because it was rare occurrence anyways.
Should I test all of the sticks again? Is there a better test I should be using instead?
(RAM is not OC'd btw)
Mastodon's federation consistency is laughably bad. confusing.
Edit: After reading your comments, and testing some more, I must say that I've misunderstood how it all works.
I should've thought of Mastodon users like separate Lemmy communities...but not exactly. What confused me is the fact that you could look up a profile on a remote instance and see their posts, but they would be very delayed. On Lemmy, if your instance hasn't "discovered" a community, you wouldn't see it at all.
I followed a random user (whos posts were last synced many days ago), and it started syncing normally (it took ~1h for it to start, but it seems like it worked and now it's syncing their posts "in real time").
~~By accident I noticed that one instance had more japanese posts in the all feed than the other one. I thought maybe the other instance has certain languages filtered or they might be defederated from certain instances, but neither was the case. I found out that the other instance just fetches the posts from other instances much slower (days).
Add "Create an account" button on join-lemmy server picker page
Just noticed that unlike mastodons join page, lemmy doesn't have a "join" or "create an account" button. It'd be nice to have one, it would be more straightforward to join.
Or perhaps there is a reason why it doesn't exist?
How is Android's share menu such garbage?
You can't remove things from it, you cannot rearrange it... Useless things and suggestions get stuck at the top.
I'm on Android 13. Have they made any improvements in the newer versions of Android?
Cool sound of an ancient string instrument (Hurdy-gurdy)
The hurdy-gurdy is a string instrument that produces sound by a hand-crank-turned, rosined wheel rubbing against the strings. The wheel functions much like a violin (or nyckelharpa) bow, and single notes played on the instrument sound similar to those of a violin. Melodies are played on a keyboard that presses tangents—small wedges, typically made of wood or metal—against one or more of the strings to change their pitch. Like most other acoustic stringed instruments, it has a sound board and hollow cavity to make the vibration of the strings audible.
