App Server for phone apps
  • The funny thing is 90% of these crapps are just web wrappers, and 90% of the time its a SAAS portal they have just customised with a logo.

    I asked my gym if there 'app' had a website. After they said no I did some digging and found it. Put a web launcher on my home screen (or use hermit/aNative) and done.

    Fuck restaurants though. I'm not doing a table QR code, paying EXTRA (50 cent fee), giving you data thats not needed ... And then going to the counter to ask where my oder is. I've seen this first hand and its ridiculous. Maybe MAYBE you can tempt me with a 10% discount. Having saved thst on not printing menus and staff not taking orders. Did I say fuck restaurants?

    I'm so lost.....
  • I used the ever helpful wiki to dig into this. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venom_War

    It seeks the one you found mentioning Dylan is #1 in the series. There also appears to be a prelude series.

    Not sure if these will explain who Dylan is. I clicked through the wiki but it got confusing. Superhero stuff always confused me.

    The other #1 issues you found looks like the titles from the "tie in" comics.

    South Australia is proposing a law to ban kids under 14 from social media. How would it work?
  • Yes. And SA is proposing a law against kids using online services.

    Yet the conversion is about how the tech companies will handle it. Not about what society in general will do.

    South Australia is proposing a law to ban kids under 14 from social media. How would it work?
  • People only focus on the tech solution of this. We don't make ciggys or booze impossible for kids to injest.

    Socialy its not responsible to let your kids drink or smoke. Even behind ose doors.

    I think a large part of the tech change is society itself. It needs to become taboo to let kids use the devices and services. Along with understanding the risks (addiction to tech, isolation, depression, being influenced etc). Funily enough the risks aren't only for children it's for all of us.

  • Question is title.

    In the past I've installed many distros on many older PCs, but never used linux properly (although slowly moving over to avoid win11). I've also had a heap of history with windows installs.

    A family member has been testing Mint on an old laptop and is going well. This is a trial run before I update their iMac laptop (not sure what one but no longer supposed by OS updates).

    I've never booted to an iMac BIOS or installed over top of apple.

    • Is this going to be like installing over windows?
    • What issues can I expect?
    • Should I consider another distro?

    Asking here as searching results in AI bullshit websites.

    Lego plans to make half the plastic in bricks from renewable materials by 2026
  • Pretty sure most people read these things as Lego is itself renewable.

    Plastics (even renewable) can be at the end of the line and not be renewed into further plastics.

    Noob Question Thread: Ask Any Questions About Linux!
  • Is plasma big screen really an option? Id like to install it on a desktop to act as a android tv. Launch Stremio, YT and maybe one or two other apps/websites. Easy big tile navigation with remote (flirc).

    It's in dev since 2020. The images hosted on the site are bit for any of my hardware. It says theres a Debian package. Installed that though LMDE but it was horrible. Somone mentioned Kububtu can install it with apt, but its not listed. Think I'll give up.

    What the fediverse needs is....CIRCLES!
  • I like the idea. In regards to lemmy and its instances (so I guess a smaller Scale to what your suggesting ... Though I still don't fully get the fediverse).

    I did something similar when picking a Lemmy instance. What was the instance that had defederated others the least. There was a git page somewhere that listed them all.

    On the flip side I've heard a notion that no one single instance should become the "main" instance. Probably with your suggestion new users would gravitate to the big circle. Thus making it the "default". But maybe it's different when looking outside of lemmy instances to the wider fediverse.

    Sometimes it has its own problems, but it doesn't mean that it's not great
  • My limited knowledge and time force me to certain distros. Some of my stuff only works on EOS, others only on Mint.

    It's easier to install another distro than spend another hour troubleshooting. I know "just read the wiki" but sometimes we don't have the skills, imagine a neckbeard trying to "just have a shower, and get out the basement".

    It makes it even more tempting to move back to Windows where I can just plug and play. But I'm forcing myself not to. ... Well that and Win11 isn't supported.

    And re things not working. I'll not even a gamer with special hardware. Just use it for web browsing and citrix for WFH.

    Chat control is back on track.... again
  • I can't see it as streaming or DVD. But I can see it as an audiobook and on great courses plus website.

    If anyone finds the video version I'd be appreciative.

  • I'm looking for a way to browse YT or find creators I might like.

    In the long run I'd like to use YT like my podcasts. Thst is, play the new content daily/weekly form people I follow rather than mindlessly scrolling the algorithm.

    With most podcast apps I can just see categories and go through the top creators in each category. Along with seeing how often content is posted. This way I can also check out other random categories and find content outside what is normally like.

    Searching YT just gets all the clickbate and my algorithm is pretty rubbish. Im using Tubular and SmartTube, but perhaps there is a website or other way to find creators?

    I'm sure there are channels that run similar to Public TV. They may post a regular show, or a variety of shows.

    Maybe web-series is the word to use. They must be of decent quality and updated within the last 6 months.

    I'm know not looking for documentaries, essay videos, pranks, reviews or vlogs.

    And not 1-2 people going around doing whatever, or a group of people that sit with a static backdrop chatting or pulling up graphics.

    I'm looking for funny game shows, dating shows, reality tv, sit coms, drama, variety shows, comedy or anything that would be similar to flicking through over the air TV (but not jsut shows copied from TV).

    I've got a few accounts on my phone, and the calanders are set up to sync.

    When I look in the outlook app I can see the outlook events as expected.

    When I use the Samsung Calender app (preferred), the Google Calander app, or any other Calander apps the outlook Calander has issues.

    Some events appear, others don't, some seem to disappear etc. I think it's to do with android and the syncing of the Calander, but I'm not sure what.

    I've used the reset account button in the outlook app, and deleted and re-added the account.

    Not sure what's going on here. But it's the only app listed that is constantly using a sensor.

    Is it possible to set the local button to show another instance?

    Ideally when signed in but I'd also be happy to swap to a guest/anonymous account.

    It saves having to make many instance logins. And I think it's voyager that allows this.

    Good work and cheers
