Samsung phones have an option of scheduled autorestart; I have mine set to restart once every week at a scheduled time.

Just 👏

I’m very new to using rss. Recently I have come across people mentioning about adding rss feeds of youtube channels to rss readers. I’m curious to know how to get the URL of youtube channel rss so I could add it to my reader (I hope I am wording it correctly). I am using feeder app.

I have frequently used tts for listening to epubs. I have, however, not noticed much battery drain… And it’s not as enjoyable as listening to an audiobook read by a narrator you like but it kind of works to a certain extent. So I wish you tts would get better.

I hardly remember my dreams and when I do (which is usually if it has been interesting) I generally wake at some crucial point which is very annoying.

Great example! Just read the book recently and loved it. The whole tavern conversation between the two brothers was very philosophically dense and insightful.

I usually browse once a day so sort by top day. Sorting by new shows up content I’ve seen before after browsing for a while. With top day my feed ends when there are no more posts for the day. Also sorting by new shows up more posts than top day and I waste more time. Sorting by active brings up older posts commenting on which will probably bring less interaction. I am looking forward to trying the new weighted sorting order coming up with the next lemmy update (I am forgetting what it’s called).

Aww most adorable land mowers!

Thank you for this nuanced and unbiased write up. I have been actively avoiding this topic online and this helped me to get an idea about the background of the war going on now.

Got fed up with youtube algorithm shenanigans among other things and am just sticking to newpipe.

I want TTS made better with AI so that I won’t need huge audiobooks filling up my phone. The epubs that I already have would serve as audiobooks when needed.

Nice shot of the flying whippet

Hey that sounds really cool. I’ll check that out.

OK understood why you prefer bluesky.

One of the things I really like about Mastodon is that I can curate my feed to show only what I am interested in by following hashtags and/or people and muting those people whose posts I don’t want to see. There’s no hidden algorithm controlling my feed, pushing controversial posts towards me and other stuff. So I don’t get why would you need the invite only feature of bluesky control your feed?

Really, variety of options and potential interlinkage with other kinds of Fediverse projects is what really excites me about the Fediverse.

Lol that’s an interesting idea!

Oh yes, this reason makes sense.

I guess different people have different use cases. I am enjoying Mastodon and have had positive interactions with people. I have also found a lot of good quality content there. Additionally, I totally avoid political stuff so haven’t had any issues of political stuff messing up my feed. IMO the invite only thing is just increasing attractiveness by creating artificial scarcity.

I followed the link and got the message that “you are a tester”, but when I am going to play store I am only seeing “register” option and no download option. How to download this app? Never mind, I checked back after a couple of hours and could download it
