What is the frequency indicator on the right side of your system panel?

But why would you need to disable mobile data when you enable WiFi? WiFi is automatically preferred, so having the mobile data toggle on or off doesn’t matter while connected to WiFi.

I used to follow the OnePlus magazine on the old site. I can’t remember the last time I read something good a OnePlus user said about their phone.

PairDrop is an improved version of SnapDrop that works both locally and over the Internet. I’ve found it more reliable to set up.

Use opusenc directly. It preserves covers and the CLI is literally opusenc --bitrate B INPUT OUTPUT.

It is also sometimes annoying when you try to crop the margin of a photo and the cropping area overlaps with the back gesture trigger area. But for me gestures win every time because the back gesture, which is the most common of the 3 operations, is available anywhere my thumb currently is, not just on the bottom edge of the screen.

Not surprising. The quality of their articles is usually mediocre at best. I occasionally look at their RSS feed and most of what I see is “How do I achieve <trivial task>”–style posts.

Thanks, that’s useful to know, especially regarding the paid vs free version. I may get the trial to see how it does, then consider getting a license.

I can’t comment on zypper, but I suggest you use dnf -C when searching for packages. This will use the local index cache and will skip some of the overhead or checking—and possibly updating—the cache, thus making searches much quicker.

Thanks. Vivaldi has built-in support for ad blocking, too, and you can also add custom lists to it.

PIF?

Have you noticed any battery drain from it? Blockada sometimes affected my battery life when in use, or even after I deactivated it.

Thanks! I’m leaning towards this option. Have you noticed any battery drain? Blockada seemed to affected my battery life sometimes.

Glider looks great! Thanks for the recommendation!

I look forward to trying Boost, even though I only used it for Reddit briefly, several years ago! On desktop, I like the Lemmy web UI just as well as Old Reddit.

Oh yeah, that makes sense. And if you fix it on 4G, i.e. disable 5G, then that will also use less battery.

manually selected my mobile network and disabled automatic network selection.

Do you know why this might help improve battery life? The way I see it, once you’re connected to a network, there’s no need to search for any others.

I’ve had great experience with AMD GPUs on Wayland. Unless you run into specific issues, I don’t see a downside of running Wayland. With NVIDIA, chances are you will run into issues very quickly, unfortunately…
