SHamblingSHapes, in How many tabs do you have open?

Zero. I don’t have a browser open, just a phone app.

I’m still counting that as one. What app do you use and how do you like it?

SHamblingSHapes,

Boost. I used Boost for Reddit, so this app for Lemmy feels very familiar.

I like how few taps it takes to switch accounts. I like how I can set my default feed and sort and it sticks where some other lemmy apps I tried frequently reset to a trending feed, gross.

I like the feature that allows me to apply a custom tag to users that only I can see. I use it to keep an eye on potential trolls. If I have a person tagged as “MAGA troll”, I know not to engage with them but to grab the popcorn and enjoy the ride.

3TH4Li4, in How do I stop my cats from eating my plants?

There is a plant called cyperus zumula (cat grass) that you can buy for your cats to munch on. It’s not much but maybe they will prefer to eat that instead of trying to take a bite out of your cactus. Also place your plants higher up if you can, in a place where they have no way to jump up to.

Tar_alcaran,

My cats will absolutely chew on catgrass. After every thing else has been munched up.

Kyle_The_G,

I got my ragdoll that and instead of nibbling he took a whole mouthful, bit down, picked the whole thing up and wrung it around like a dog that just got a squirrel, he sprayed grass, seeds and dirt all over lol. He’s a bit of a bam bam.

lefaucet,

This mostly worked for me. He preferred the catgrass over the succulents.

I eventally bought like 4 pots of catgrass and would rotate them every week or so so theyd last longer.

ooli, in How do I stop my cats from eating my plants?

put double faced tape at the base of the plant (or anything you dont want cat around) cat hate having their hair stuck… after a few days they wont touch that place anymore… you can take the tape of

bionicjoey, in What do ridiculously rich people (like Bill Gates etc.) ask for/get for Christmas/birthdays/etc.?

Do they do gift exchanges at all?

Bill Gates famously would participate in Reddit’s secret Santa

otp,

Oh, that’s true. I feel like he posted the things he got, didn’t he? That could be interesting to look up

davidisgreat,

I tried that one time. I went over budget and sent a really nice gift. I didn’t receive a gift myself. Then my recipient reported that I didn’t send a gift. I got banned.

PracticalParrot,

Good old Reddit :)

fmstrat, in People who post content because it makes you angry : why do you help it spread?

Because if people don’t, then evil wins. Even GI Joe taught us: Knowing is half the battle.

foggy, in How do I stop my cats from eating my plants?

My gf feeds her cats leafy greens whenever they go after her plants.

It’s not a perfect solution but it works-ish

_thisdot, in What are some cool things you can do with Shortcuts on iOS?
@_thisdot@infosec.pub avatar

After trying multiple apps to sort my budgeting situation. I finally decided to create a solution that involves default Numbers + a shortcut to add row to the end of sheet. Now that shortcut lives on my homescreen. This is by far the best personal budgeting solution I’ve used. And I put it all together in 20 minutes!

cheese_greater, (edited )

That’s a good use for Shortcuts, and this is a tiny bit off topic, but do yourself a solid and check out MoneyStats on the AppStore before you settle on that. Just take a peeksie.

It does all that + tells you how much is in any account at any time as long as the data is accurately entered/maintained, among a few other things.

Let me know your thoughts once you see it

hperrin, in If many extraterrestrial civilizations were nearby but trying to keep quiet, how would you suggest drawing them out?

Transmit math equations into space, but make them all just a little wrong. If someone’s out there, they’ll come by to correct us.

jacktherippah, in What companies have made your blacklist?

I loathe Samsung. Their bootloader unlocking is bullshit. Never getting another dollar from me ever again.

TauriWarrior,

? I unlocked bootloader easily, just enabled it in settings on my note 20 ultra

jacktherippah,

You’ve just tripped Knox and permanently lost multiple features

MeanEYE,
@MeanEYE@lemmy.world avatar

If I remember correctly just “unlocking” doesn’t trip Knox. However installing custom boot or rom, does.

jacktherippah,

It does. Unlocking the Samsung bootloader blows the e-fuse. Locking your bootloader again won’t do anything to restore functionality.

MeanEYE,
@MeanEYE@lemmy.world avatar

It’s been a while since I rooted Samsung device.

paf0,

Yup. Samsung sold smartwatches that promised an upcoming ECG feature to have it only available when connected to a Samsung phone when it came out, but not other Android phones. They also try and force you to put their TVs on your network so they can track everything you do. Never again.

JohnWorks, (edited )

You’re not missing out on much. I stopped using the ecg feature on the Samsung watches when it gave me an AFib warning and I went to a doctor about it. They hooked me up to an EKG and said I was fine and looked at the chart my watch generated and said the chart there also looked fine. I put on both my apple watch and galaxy watch and was measuring both at the same time and the apple watch gave out either high heart rate (I just got back from a walk) or inconclusive meanwhile the galaxy watch fired off another false AFib warning.

Bakkoda, (edited )

I’m still rocking my 15+ year old Syncmaster 245BW as my rack monitor and that’s the last Samsung item I purchased.

HenriVolney, (edited ) in People who post content because it makes you angry : why do you help it spread?

There’s a user on a Francophone community that keeps posting articles from a website called frustrationmagazine. Literally

@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Those Five Guys Named Moe sure got famous.

shinigamiookamiryuu, in If many extraterrestrial civilizations were nearby but trying to keep quiet, how would you suggest drawing them out?

Make them think some of them have already come to Earth for whatever reason.

xantoxis, (edited )

Yeah, one way to do this is to start transmitting what sounds like one half of a phone conversation.


“Hi, how have you been?”

“Ugh that’s the worst. You coming by soon?”

“Nice I’ll get the barbecue ready.”

“A functioning FTL drive you say?”

Markimus, in If many extraterrestrial civilizations were nearby but trying to keep quiet, how would you suggest drawing them out?

Share with them generated videos of us hanging out with other alien species, having a good time, etc. and make it seem like they’re missing out.

Feathercrown,

“Wait, that earth video is AI-generated-- their hands only have five fingers!”
