It's the Halloween season, so I present to you one of my favorite short films: Spider in c/movies@lemmy.world

Hahaha I got around to seeing this just now and that was crazy.

Only thing is when it came to Google I started wondering who would gain from the break up in this administration. And thought of Musk coming in to control the most popular browser in the world with chrome and phone OS with Android.

So I can't help but look at this with skepticism. And he'd probably receive Russian and Saudi financial backing to purchase and control whatever is up for grabs like was rumored with Twitter when it came to how he came up with the money

This hasn't been normal times and rules and laws don't apply.

Yeah seeing how elated he is being an absolute asshole with starlink he must be bursting with joy at the thought of chrome and android in his possession too.

Under normal circumstances, but i just have this suspicion that Musk will buy it using Russian and Saudi funding like was rumored for where he got the funding for Twitter.

So whether that would be a better situation I guess is up to interpretation.

Non profit under this US administration who's mantra is what rules? Seems highly optimistic. I see it being more likely that Musk takes the opportunity to try and get the most popular browser and phone OS that is used world wide.

That regular people would stop using chrome if it turned into xhrome is highly unlikely. These are people who browse without adblocker, use facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, and buy Amazon echos. It'd just lead to Doge influencing the direction of xhromium based browsers.

If that happened which would not surprise me with how ridiculous US government has been I'd be open to using Samsung's Tizen over Doge controlled and influenced Xdroid.

Xoogle and Xdroid run by doge.

What phone can I switch to that gives the least money to American companies? in c/android@lemmy.world
[–] NightOwl@lemmy.one 1 points 2 months ago

I remember when Chinese phones used to have a thriving custom rom scene. Then one by one they started locking their crap down or making tools available for it poor enough that custom rom support died out.

The DOJ Still Wants Google to Sell Off Chrome in c/google@lemdro.id

In the past would be celebrating. Now I start wondering what is the worst outcome of this, and I see musk using this opportunity to buy and control the most popular browser on the market.

How is Libre office nowadays? Is it a decent replacement to Microsoft Office? in c/buyeuropean@feddit.uk
[–] NightOwl@lemmy.one 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

For those who care OnlyOffice has ties to Russia

I use libreoffice.

[Request] Option to alphabetize Filters/Community filters (lemmy.one)
 

Would make it easier to keep track of what filters I have in place and delete duplicates

3
[Feature Request] Block specific communities on an instance locally (lemmy.one)
 

I've liked using the keyword filtering for communities, but sometimes some keywords are too broad so that's when I'd like to be able to filter out the specific community instance so an example being community@instance

It's something I came across on Boost which I liked. It's called mute there. Would help keep specific communities from popping up when I'm browsing as a guest on an instance where I'm unable to use the account based community filtering.

9
[Request] Connect settings export function (lemmy.one)
 

I would like to be able to export the settings I have for Connect so in case I ever have to reinstall this app I can restore all the settings I had for it instead of redoing everything manually.

Community keyword based filtering is amazing (lemmy.one)
 

Not something I've seen even in a reddit app before. So the first of its kind I've encountered.

Incredible and makes browsing /c/all so much better, and I don't have to individually block new versions of communities anymore.

And ability to change view between list and card without having to go into settings is also fantastic.

21
[Request ] keyword based community blocking (lemmy.one)
 

So it blocks communities with certain keywords in them like anything containing 'meme' as an example.

Would be an amazing feature, since blocking communities becomes wack a mole with the amount of duplicate community names that pop up from different instances.

27
[Request] 'B' marker/flair for accounts that are bots. (lemmy.one)
10
[Request] For link submission threads an option to copy link of the article or video or share it (lemmy.one)
 

Currently have to open them, but would be nice to able to skip a step.

16
[Request] Setting to not automatically display images in comments section (lemmy.one)
15
[Request] Ability to toggle between list and card view for posts on the fly without having to go into settings (lemmy.one)
 

Maybe view switch option could be in hamburger menu

28
[Request] Hold down on hyperlinks to be able to see the full url (lemmy.one)
 

Like an example would be this url. It would be nice to be able to check where a link goes to before committing to clicking it and being sent to the url provided.

41
I love that you can add instances and view them without having to sign into an account for that instance (lemmy.one)
 

Browsing locally through it to find new communities that might not have been added to the instance I use has been very helpful.

It's a killer feature I keep using and has me coming back to liftoff.

10
[Request] Ability to filter communities and keywords throughout app (lemmy.one)
 

App is great now. And I like being able to add other instances and being able to view all or local from that instance to find new communities to subscribe too.

Only thing I've been missing has been blocking is only effective for the instance or instances you are logged into, so having something that filters everything without account dependency would be great.
