Having 0 or negative karma is a barrier to posting. Some subs completely disallow posting if you don't meet a threshold, but even outside of those subs you still run into things like having your comments held up in the spam queue until they are manually reviewed.

So having a bit of karma allows them to post their scam and/or spam links and have a chance of being visible.

I use Unexpected Keyboard when I'm working in Termux. It's Open Source and does allow some layout customization.

Unfortunately it doesn't support "glide/swipe typing" so I find it doesn't replace Gboard for everyday usage.

It sounds like this will become a problem if/when content providers start requiring it.

Like how Netflix requires certain hardware to enable 4K. (At least I think they do? I remember that was a thing a few years ago.)

Microsoft Pluton security processor is a chip-to-cloud security technology built with Zero Trust principles at the core. Microsoft Pluton provides hardware-based root of trust, secure identity, secure attestation, and cryptographic services. Pluton technology is a combination of a secure subsystem which is part of the System on Chip (SoC) and Microsoft authored software that runs on this integrated secure subsystem.

Microsoft Pluton is currently available on devices with Ryzen 6000 and Qualcomm Snapdragon® 8cx Gen 3 series processors. Microsoft Pluton can be enabled on devices with Pluton capable processors running Windows 11, version 22H2.

What is Microsoft Pluton?

Designed by Microsoft and built by silicon partners, Microsoft Pluton is a secure crypto-processor built into the CPU for security at the core to ensure code integrity and the latest protection with updates delivered by Microsoft through Windows Update. Pluton protects credentials, identities, personal data and encryption keys. Information is significantly harder to be removed even if an attacker has installed malware or has complete physical possession of the PC.

Microsoft Pluton is designed to provide the functionality of the Trusted Platform Module as well as deliver other security functionality beyond what is possible with the TPM 2.0 specification, and allows for additional Pluton firmware and OS features to be delivered over time via Windows Update. For more information, see Microsoft Pluton as TPM.

Pluton is built on proven technology used in Xbox and Azure Sphere, and provides hardened integrated security capabilities to Windows 11 devices in collaboration with leading silicon partners. For more information, see Meet the Microsoft Pluton processor – The security chip designed for the future of Windows PCs.

I used to browse r/all/rising and sometimes peeked at /new. It was made somewhat bearable because I used rif and filtered out subreddits like crazy.

I just checked my rif settings export. I had 906 subreddit filters.

(And one domain filter: battleforthenet.com.)

I'm a fan of the very light, widget-only AF Weather. All it does is a chart showing temp & precipitation for the next 24hrs. I like it more than "hourly" forecasts in other apps, but it is pretty niche.

Why come to a place where the posts are voted upon by the users if you're just going to complain about people voting on the "wrong" things?

Is this really the content that we want for @news ?

Yes, overwhelmingly so, it seems:

rif's UI was near perfect for me. I called it an app version of old.reddit, which was exactly what I wanted.

(Before old.reddit I just considered it a perfect app version of Reddit.)

Lol, no snapping turtles here! Thanks! :)

Thank you!

Thanks!
