    Disabling proximity sensor (entirely/for a specific app)

    Hello everyone, some time ago I broke the screen of my Pixel 5. I brought it to a repair store, which replaced it, but apparently they did a bad job because since then the proximity sensor started to misbehave (it was working even with the broken screen, unfortunately they refuse to acknowledge that and won't repair it for free, and it costs too much to repair it again).

    Well, this sensor is driving me crazy. It works kind of good for calls, but it's almost impossible to play voice messages: the screen continuously flashes, turns on/off every second because of the sensor, and voice messages constantly stops, restart, switch from speaker to ear speaker... it's incredibly frustrating. For some reason Telegram and Signal work good, but on whatsapp and other IMs, it's almost impossible to listen to voice messages without going mad.

    I have a Pixel 5 running Andoird 14 (stock, non rooted), and I'm looking for a way to disable the proximity sensor just for one app, or entirely. Searching fo

  • yesy yes thanks mozzilla i love logging in to work on monday morning to find a new homepage with "thought provoking stories" about:

    • jannik sinner being op
    • who is still using floppy disks, by geopop.it
    • best pictures about the chinese new year celebrations in italy, from viaggi.corriere.it

    • NBA players that are also rappers (😱😱😱 thanks mozzilla I almost missed this one!)
    • 5 types of incense to remove negative energies from your home

    ...and a whole number of other useless slop I will never open and I will never care about. I hate enshittification so fucking much

  • I am in a similar position, yes. I've resisted for so many years, but Instagram right now is the only place where some of the local organizations I'm interested in post. Clubs, town events, even leftist social centers who are usually sensible to online privacy and megacorp dependence sometimes only have an instagram or facebook page.

    Right now I have a text note with the urls to the websites of the instagram pages that don't have a newsletter/RSS feed. And another note with the link to their instagram pages, that I sometimes check out. Luckily you still don't necessarily need to login to access an account's recent posts from the browser, so as long as you periodically clear your cookies, a browser will do.

    I also have been trying to convince some of these pages to create an account on Mastodon or use Gancio, if available. Even a Telegram channel would suffice. Some of them (two) did, but stopped to update it after a few months because most reach comes from facebook/instagram and they won't bother to post stuff on another platform

    Telegram Shuts Down Z-Library & Anna's Archive Channels Over Copyright Infringement.

    cross-posted from: https://reddthat.com/post/33036963

    Telegram is one of the most popular messaging tools, chosen by many online services to stay connected with their audiences. Major shadow libraries Z-Library and Anna's Archive used Telegram until this week, when both accounts were terminated for copyright infringement. While these websites offer infringing content, both were cautious to avoid copyright troubles on Telegram.

  • Correct. It's from https://fedidb.org/, if you scroll down the main page you can find the Software User Distribution pie

  • Ever since I was a kid, my family had this electric bathroom warmer which has been my best friend for a lot of time. For 15 years, it has been the main reason for me to quickly wake up during school and work days. I needed the warmth and the white noise, even during summer. A few years ago I decided to "quit", because it started too feel a little like an addiction, and not being able to spend at least 10 minutes in front of this thing would mean ruin the entire morning. Quitting wasn't that hard, of course, but ever since I quit I have a severe problem with snoozing alarms. I need at least 30 minutes to wake up, rested or not rested it doesn't matter, I just cannot help myself to step off off the bed as soon as the alarm rings. Tbh I do not see this as a serious problem, cause lukily it doesn't fuck with my usual daily scehdule, but I will soon try to roll up my sleeves and see if I can improve my alarm2bathroom time

  • Thanks for sharing. What was your daily usage, while you were consuming? How long have you been off off meth?

  • Videogames 10 years ago. I was spending time on videogames basically every day. I didn't see it as something harmful, but during one christmas break I dared myself not to play videogames during the 10 days school break. Lost all interest in gaming in a matter of days, never picked it up since then. I sold my PS4 six months later. A few years ago I built myself a gaming PC with the intention to use it for gaming but I've actually never bought or downloaded any game

    I still play local multiplayer games every once in a while with I'm over at some friends' place (eg. party games as Stickbold, Smash Bros, Mario Kart, Fifa), or online tabletop games such as hangman, gartic phone, geoguesser or boardgamesarena.com

  • Orribile che non sia gestita come qualsiasi altra estensione, ovvero con una propria icona spostabile e cliccabile + eventuale opzione in context menu/urlbar, ma che venga mostrata sotto forma di icona permanente in tutte le pagine. Com'è che questo design è passato? :/

  • well that's how I've heard of the news too... was away for the christams vacations so I'm a little out of the loop

    telegramdesktop/tdx - an official fork of the desktop app, based on tdlib

    This might be common knowledge by now considering how easy it is to find this repository, but it's new to me so I'll share: apparently, the desktop app developer is actively working on rewriting their app using tdlib.

    Telegram Desktop would be the first official app to use tdlib. Right now, the only telegram-related app that uses it is Telegram X, which is an experimental app. The bot API, though, has always ran on tdlib since day one.

    Reddit's most successful April Fools community game, /r/place, is back after 5 years

    A little bit of context: 7 years ago Reddit introduced an April Fools event people could play by interacting with each other from within Reddit itself. The first event was called The Button, but the most successful one was 2017's /r/place. During the 3 days the even lasted, users could change the color of any pixel in a 1.000x1.000 canvas (with a 5 seconds cooldown). Communities from all over reddit (and beyond) organized to collaborate and draw something meaningful on the canvas, be it their community mascot, some meta joke, or anything else really. I personally participated in the game, and it was one of the funniest community-based events I've been able to experience online.

    Apparently, after 5 years, they decided to bring /r/place back. I'm posting this because I was thinking that, as the Lemmy community, we could organize to draw a lemmur on the canvas :)

    Telegram "officially" introduces its own ads platform to operate advertising in public channels

    t.me Павел Дуров

    Канал для русскоязычной аудитории. Основной канал, который я обновляю чаще, – англоязычный @durov

    Павел Дуров

    Durov introduces Telegram's take on ads in his Russian channel.

    The translated channel post (translated with DeepL):

    Soon, official advertising messages will appear in Telegram channels for the first time. Most users will hardly notice this change - for three reasons:

    1. Telegram will not show advertising messages in chat lists, private conversations, or groups. The ads will only affect large channels - services where there are already ads and whose support results in the largest expenditures on the part of Telegram.
    2. No personal information will be used to show ads. User privacy is paramount to Telegram. The content of advertising messages will depend only on the topics of the channels in which they are displayed, and not on users' personal data.
    3. Official Telegram advertising messages will be unobtrusive. Only short texts without external links or photos will be allowed in them. An advertisement may appear only after all new messages in the channel have been viewe

    Suggest a new name for this community (!RuinRomance won)

    Judging from a recent thread, many people would like Lemmy communities not to adopt a naming that includes the "porn" suffix, which is something that (I guess) originated on reddit but we don't necessarily need to adopt here as well.

    This community didn't took off yet so I can easily turn it into a proxy community redirecting to the new one that will be created.

    Someone already suggested "AbandonedAwe" as a name, which I believe is a good candidate. If someone has other names to suggest, feel free to post them here. I would like to keep the "Abandoned" prefix btw

    I claimed [email protected] just to be sure
