Understandable, although I am hoping more people come to lemmy to fill the gaps

You will only feel the pain once you get shadow banned by simply using a VPN. You don’t have the shadow ban yet I guess that’s why you still stay with it.

I actually think I got shadowbanned because I was on an IP that was used by someone who was probably banned and my account got associated.

I’ve installed the News Feed Eradicator extension because I am still too addicted to reddit as I often type it out in the browser URL bar. I might start counting days as if counting nofap.

They would still be able to expand it in the future but, you’ll have to buy the version 2 to get those new features.

The “AI translation” feature here has been on Firefox for years now. It was once an extension then just baked in to Firefox. So it was always enabled by default that automatically translates a site if it found a compatible language and it is on-device so doesn’t use the cloud. They just added the “AI” label recently I guess to appease a certain demographic. I guess there are other people who really relate AI to being bad. But guys, these have been ON firefox for a long time, just renamed as an AI feature.

I don’t recommend disabling the on-device translations and speech to text feature. Yes, they are “AI” but they are the good on-device offline AI services that are actually useful. Without the on-device translation feature, you’ll have to rely on web based Google Translate. Same with the speech to text feature.

Promoting open source software and funding them is better than banning proprietary software. Improving data protection laws will also be more productive as a blanket solution rather than selectively banning companies with suspicious data practices.

I found this through Ecosia search with Bing as preferred engine. But in lemmy world instance

You can add lemmy and lemmy world will show up.

It was on my very first start. I tried closing then opening the app but it didn’t fix the issue. I know opening Google Maps will fix this because this also happens on Pokemon Go when the GPS location is inaccurate. Opening Google Maps seems to trigger a better algorithm for GPS. Not sure if this is device specific though or due to power saving mode.

I guess Google play hasn’t served me the latest version yet. I will wait for it and try again. I am on version 1.2.11

I think a lot less people care about consoles now. People are moving over to mobile, not necessarily solely Android or iOS, but stuff like Switch or Steamdeck.

I have tried it. So far, I had to open the Google Maps app while the app is open so it will exit “Waiting for GPS.” Maybe for it to trigger the location service. Also, I think the map will be friendlier if it can be rotated based on the compass or manual rotation by pinch. The current setup would be fine only if you are already familiar with the roads in the area. But, for a free app, I like that there is an alternative i can use for Pokemon Go or Ingress.
