tbf as a kid I sometimes chew on aluminium foil wrapper of candies (back when they wrap some candies in aluminium) to extract the last dregs of candy. so I kind of can empathize lol

I might get a used pixel a series as a burner phone, and as a test for my country’s bank apps. I am aware that there are a lot of bank apps that do work on GOS, and sone of that are ones that operate in my country. But not all. If I can scrounge up the money for it, I’ll be sure to share my findings somewhere

So in the middle of this comment, I searched for such a list since I remember faintly there’s one, and found this: https://privsec.dev/posts/android/banking-applications-compatibility-with-grapheneos/

I’m happy to say that some of the biggest banking apps in my country has been reported to be work on GOS. fascinating.

Lovely site. Easy to follow, but I might be biased lol

I’ll be sharing this with others in my groups

Don’t have to install anything. Some instance make it the default though, but I think most front end like Voyager or Alexandrite (or tesseract since we are discussing it) you can visit their web page and point your home instance to use their UI.

Edit; I’m copying a comment someone else made here https://piefed.zip/comment/6322459 since it’s pretty consise than what I explained 😅

It’s a frontend. So literally a skin to make a website look prettier and more organized.

Imagine a waiter starts telling customers what foods they are allowed to eat. He wasn’t the chef, the manager, the owner, anybody.

That’s how stupid it was.

It kind of is, considering it’s still an app of sorts, but using the web browser. I just keep using “front end” because that’s what others call it. I see it like an app. but yeah, it’s to change the UI if you don’t like the default lemmy UI.

Hmm. I learned something today. Thanks. I think.

bottom face/hands,

I usually don’t like to play the “English as second language” card, as I take great pride learning it, but I need to for this one lol. what does this mean?

It’s a front end to change the UI of lemmy, and others like lemmy. you can see some examples of others here: https://www.lemmyapps.com/ . Filter by web app to see some of the other popular ones.

I don’t really go on a blocking spree much. How would a front end’s block list implementation be different than the instance’s choice of software’s block list implementation?

I hardly browse All and Local. I am on a piefed based instance, and leave “Enable Automatic Follow of Feed Communities.” and “Enable Automatic Leave of Feed Communities.” on. So kind of my subscribed feed is semi automatic as long as I follow a broad topic.

That’s the way to go. it’s just a silly little nitpick that I have. I don’t go out of my way to make it a big deal lol

Yeah that’s fair actually. Idk why I’m still hung up on that scoring but what you’re saying is what I’m doing lol

I haven’t watched many shows or movies for the past decade willy nilly because of that.

If you still sometimes look into the /r/sbcgaming, the purple shell is slightly redder than the marketing images. Of course, camera settings and all that as grain of salt, but a lot of people are disappointed and changed their orders to other colors.

I too hope the purple goes hard. It’s one of my favorite colors.

At most I would want to spend US$ 100. And of course waiting for aliexpress sales.

There’s plenty there but I have shortlisted

• the two anbernic SPs (always pros and cons that I can’t between the 3.5" 4:3 lower res screen of the 35sp, and the 3.4" 3:2 higher res screen), and now there’s the RG SP as well coming out soon…
• the cubexx like you mentioned because it’s just so cute cube,
• the trimui brick because that seems neat as a music player as well, the RG rotate because it’s gimmicky (but the 3.5" square screen is a big trade off for playing anything other than GB and pico8),
• maybe the PAM but that has risen in price above $100
• magicx one35 because it’s also gimmicky able to turn 90° and play TATE and somehow NDS as well with both screens the same size

I really should just go with either of the SP for now, and if I don’t play much of it I didn’t lose too much money.

That’s my thought as well. And that’s how I always go when entering a new hobby. Buy cheap that has great impressions, and judge from there.

After some sorting my mind, I think I would want to start just with ps1 and GBA. That is my childhood gaming systems after all. My parents didn’t get any of the Nintendo systems prior to the ps1 as far as I can remember.

So since I’ve always wanted a GBA SP back then but never really saved the money and getting denied by my parents lol, maybe the RG35XXSP or 34XXSP. The former would be more versatile playing ps1 and others, but the latter would be perfect fit for GBA. Decisions, decisions. And yes, I saw that anbernic also has announced the RG SP, which is a stickless 34XXSP.

and then there’s the magicx one35 my nerdery senses is killing me

I’ll give it a read over tea later. Thanks for sharing. 🙂

Been wanting a reto handheld for quote some time ever since the miyoo mini v1 days years ago. Never have bought one before. Idk if I want a big capable versatile machine or small easy to pocket little doodad.

I used to have a GBA as a kid and a NSDL as a college kid.

Dunno where I’m going with this comment, I’m just rambling now lol

Still weird to me that 3/5 is accepted as bad. It’s middle of the score; it’s average. I have plenty of 3 star movies I watched and I like it just fine.

But yes mostly nowadays I just watch with the right cat’s eyes lol

When the cybertruck was first announced, I actually appreciated how different it looked

Yeah, same here. I usually like weird looking forms for ordinary objects. The cybertruck counts.

Even disregarding the emotional association to Musk, which is nigh impossible, the engineering of the car makes it suck to hell, because that’s all Musk’s decision he forced.

hardcore datahoarders are something else. And a boon when they share it

It seems to be rolling out region by region I reckon. I’m in the south east Asia and I don’t get asked to log in yet.

catbox.moe works too. Although files uploaded anonymously that have not had a download/hit in over 2 years will be removed from Catbox.. which is weird that was not the default since the beginning considering they’re not like other image hosting sites size and funding.
