Question for people running default Androids

It's tough because I absolutely do care about privacy. But I find attempting a mobile experience free from Apple and Google to be technically challenging with problems that aren't solved currently. It seems much more difficult than installing desktop Linux today, and akin to what it was like 20 years ago.

The case for piracy on Android

Reply in thread

I imagine there would be several YouTube front ends for Linux, but I'm out of the loop as I've not had a Linux box in ages. On Android, I use NewPipe and others like Revanced (haven't tried). You might also want to check out self-hosting comms. Those folks are very knowledgeable about going completely independent.

Why does markdown treat linefeeds as spaces?

Reply in thread

I kind of understand what you're saying. But in an age of smartphones, I have to manually add double spaces at the end of every line for the end product to display as it appears when editing it. This probably seems trivial and stupid for folks on desktop, but even Discord has this figured out. Is this something that needs to be added at the app level?

Overly aggressive refreshing

I'll have to check for consistency, but it doesn't seem to happen nearly as often with Summit (or at all). I'm trying Jerboa and Interstellar was working well before an unrelated glitch put that app on pause.

Edit: Just checked and background usage was already on, so I think it's app-related.
