What are your favorite racing games?
  • Not a "racing" game but you can race in BeamNG (and even do multi-player with a mod.) After trying it, other games feel underwhelming to me.

  • New Florisboard beta introduces addon support
  • I think it's literally a Grammerly addon (but I'm not OP)

    I'd be interested in one for LanguageTool instead

  • Deleted
    Google to start collecting biometric data
  • Every app has access to an api that asks your phone to verify your fingerprint against the ones stored for the lockscreen. The phone then asks for your fingerprint and tells the app if it passed or not.

    As the commenter pointed out, it's not an image of your fingerprint either. It's a hash that is stored on your phone that is likely unique to that device.

  • One Year Anniversary Giveaway! - WINNERS CHOSEN!
  • Or perhaps commenting asap so that you have to wait the longest after commenting.

  • every lemmy conversation- a poem
  • Why would you think like that? No one on the internet (especially OP) would apologize for potentially being wrong smh.

  • Docker - what use is it?
  • It's so useful you see it mentioned on every other thread

  • how do you keep your lutris settings, games and save files when you distro hop?
  • No problem. Don't forget to try and do a test before nuking the original data, especially if you can't find a guide online!

  • how do you keep your lutris settings, games and save files when you distro hop?
  • While I don't know about lutris specifically, usually the easier strategy is to have your home folder as its own partition and map the new install into your old home folder. Then, once you install your programs again (lutris), it all just maps up properly like you never changed os'.

    If you wanted a smaller version of that, backup your lutris configuration and install directories and restore them (in the exact same place) on the new install.

  • Is it unnecessary to cover one's webcam on Linux?
  • And for me: 4. It makes it a lot harder to accidently turn my camera on in meetings (a different form of privacy)

  • This Windows tool makes it super easy to debloat and cut down ads on your Android TV
  • For me it was much simpler to just add it as a line in the field in my router settings than trying to find a launcher that was better while looking decent.

    I also like the look of the launcher minus the ads as well, so that might play into it.

    I'm not worried about it breaking any features tied to the ads, and I haven't had any problems in like 2 years I've used it.

  • This Windows tool makes it super easy to debloat and cut down ads on your Android TV
  • (On the shield 2019) If you block this domain with your dns ad blocker, the default launcher will only show ads for the YouTube, Google TV, and Google Play Store apps (not individual shows). I find these to be far less annoying as they use muted tones.

    If you have already setup your device and currently see ads, you need to reset the android tv home application data to get rid of them. This will temporarily show you the old dashboard, but the new one will load eventually (without ads).

  • This Windows tool makes it super easy to debloat and cut down ads on your Android TV
  • Try blocking this domain manually and see if it works (it wasn't part of my native lists in my router's adblock)

This will temporarily show you the old dashboard, but the new one will load eventually (without ads, in its place it shows a dark "Google play, Youtube", and something else that isnt very intrusive).

  • PSA: Update your docker installation. Leaky Vessels flaws allow hackers to escape Docker, runc containers
  • I like to describe this as a game of peekaboo.

    Where's the vulnerability?

    There it is!

    Where's the vulnerability?

    (Not opening eyes) Huh, I guess there are none!

  • Grocery shopping apps
  • This is what I have ended up running with nextcloud as the server.

    I also have home assistant syncing to CalDAV so that I can automatically create/remove tasks.

  • Best alternative to Chromecast?
  • Fun fact for shield owners:

  • Evernote is about to seriously limit its plan for free users
  • Last I checked, Joplin does not use a folder structure that is easy to port over. Their files are all id's instead of usable file names, so without Joplin, you won't be finding anything.

    They are still plaintext .MD files though.

  • GN spends the first segment of their GN News to responding to Linus's comments, and reveals that Linus mislead people on the Billet compensation.
  • While this definitely wasn't an okay response, I still prefer this transparency over every single response having to go through a filter/PR representative. At least we are closer to knowing what he is actually thinking.

    Is this the straw that leads to LTT going full corporate mode?

  • funny because true
  • If you live in the US, you can get your mail sent to your email inbox every day you are getting something that is directly addressed to you (i.e., not spam). It's called USPS Informed Delivery.

    It doesn't always work if they get your address slightly off (say they put STE instead of APT), but it's a lot better than nothing.

  • It Took 23 Days for Lemmy Posts to Double from 1 Million to 2 Million
  • If I had to guess, communities being deleted, instances going offline/being defederated etc
