Usually when I'm walking with it in my hand, but also when it's in my pocket. I have fingerprint unlock disabled, but any touch activity close to the fingerprint sensor seems to wake the device, after which the pulldown menu seems to be accessible, even if the device hasn't been unlocked yet. Anyone else facing this problem, and what can be done to disable this?

I noticed it when some settings like flashlight, Bluetooth, hotspot seemed to activate on their own.

Steps to reproduce: Switch off fingerprint unlock Lock the phone using the power button Touch the location of the fingerprint sensor several times. After the number of times the fingerprint unlock gives up, the device will wake and pattern unlock will show even though fingerprint unlock is disabled (above). The pulldown menu also become available.

Android 17, CP3A.261005.005

Edit: noticed too that if I place my thumb on the sensor it's jump to the pattern screen, but not unlock.

Edit2: so I removed the stored fingerprint and it's now doing what I expect. So you cannot disable the fingerprint wake completely, if there is a fingerprint stored on the phone.

As the title. Why are some things allowed, e.g. the modifications to the wh east wing, while others are halted e.g. some states redistricting plan?

Also, why is the law so weak as to be frequently weilded as a strategic weapon/ shield if youre sufficiently well connected? Same can be asked of religion, actually.

Bug Report

Describe the issue: As the title asks: i usually open the app, then notice there has been no update for several hours since my last launch. But when i pull down, it refreshes with a long list of new articles, so it doesnt seem like a sudden influx of new posts. This happens across communities and servers. Is it a setting thing, or a bug?

Steps to reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

Trying to get some input for someone else. Was thinking of upskilling, finding a group, developing a hobby, guided activities. Any ideas?

Used to think of burn out as a weakling thing, but i have to admit the job doesnt channel the same energy as before. Its become stale, and is starting to feel like a drag. How does burnout present, and what can i do to get things back under control?

What do you think we should replace it with? Some years back, when my country replaced a corrupt, entrenched coalition govt of 60+ years, the winning party sort of looked around and said: 'uh.. huh, OK, we won. We werent expecting to win. Now what? We have no plan. Lolz?'

In that light, what do you think should replace the big C, and how do we ensure human nature doesnt juat exploit it for a few individuals benefit?

Im reflecting from the pov of a parents role re: the kids. If you give the kids what they want, its going to be soda and candy every day of their lives. Some deciaions are tough, e.g. delayed gratification, and holding ones ground, but do voters even care about stuff like that?

Can we even hope on common sense, when the population is concerned?

All this. All the replies, all the posts. Just bots arguing with one another, triggering you 'juuust enough' to engage and reinforce your bias with a dopamine shot, so you continue to read and get enraged some more. At this point you can't even tell which is a person and which is not any more. All for the amusement of a few powerful elites in control of the algorithm.

Are we really so placated, hopeless and in need for edification that we continue to participate, with no real translation to real world personal development and action?

Would like to filter out some domains beyond the AdBlock lists. Any help/ recommendations much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Asking because I just sat through a family feud within earshot at a local coffee joint. Parents giving advice to son, who looked 30ish, all quite civil, full of the 'can I speak for a minute', 'your minute is up' and so on, with some 'when we were your age' and 'you must/ will learn' etc. Mum ended with 'i don't have to justify anything to you'.

My dad stopped once I got out of high school, but mum seems to chime in from time to time. I'm well into my middle age.

When should parents stop parenting and just let the kid fail/ thrive on their own? I just feel sometimes the parents are the problem, regardless of good intentions.

I've always been curious how fascism takes hold, and how people like Hitler, Stalin. etc rise to power. Do people not see what is happening? Shouldn't hindsight, foresight and common sense kick in at some point? I used t think they were like mob bosses early on - anyone disagreeing with them ends up in a barrel, but surely were civilized and educated by now?

It seems the people don't want to jeopardize their comfortable livelihoods and individual lives so expect the 'powerful elected officials' to do their bidding. After all, the public gave them the power to do just that. Otoh, the politicians don't want to jeopardize their cushy jobs and accumulated power by challenging the majority, so are waiting for the public to start a jan6 situation so they can point and say, 'see, the people are unhappy so we should act'.

It's a shitstorm of no consequences and a man child hacking away at the country and no one seems to be doing anything meaningful. I'm literally watching fascism take place.

History/ psychology/ sociology majors care to chime in?

Has the system finally cracked? Have the wealthy and powerful simply taken so much leaving the rest of us grasping at our very survival, easily manipulated into turning against other groups and even each other in an attempt to make sense of it all? Is society destined to destroy itself or descend into eternal servitude to our masters? How do we get out of this spiral of madness?

Farewell king Rafa! You will be missed.

Or is it that the victims pest warning system is currently winning the biological arms race, in which case how are mosquitoes able to successfully reproduce? Or is it that mosquitoes have evolved such that their spawning numbers offset the difficulty they have biting?

Biology is hard.

Think about it: you try reasoning with them, then get tired and block their noise from your feed, but all that does is reduces the presence of the 'readonable minority', allowing them to spew their rethoric to a more receptive audience. Socmed sucks.

As the title says. Google had released the pixel 9 pro xl here already, but not the 9 pro. Bummer for the early adopters, because they also dropped the price about $200ish when the new iphone dropped, a couple of months after launch.
