Have you ever clicked on an ad *on purpose?* in c/asklemmy

My own ads, just to make sure they still work (for the 40% who still don't block ads)

What's the best wax-on-wax-off-style advice you've heard that you can attest as being helpful in certain situations? in c/asklemmy

As a professional juggler practised early on to do things with either hand - whether it's washing dishes or putting a key in the door.. just paying attention to how you do things. Now can take juggle 3 balls in either hand

Rabbit R1 is Just an Android App in c/technology

[–] tomjuggler 26 points 6 months ago (1 children)

As a former Android developer, you can't just do anything in an android app on a modern smartphone. The system is fighting you for resources the whole time. It makes sense to have something like this running as root on a device that you control.

Not that I'm sold on it, just saying..

How is MX Linux reigning #1 on Distrowatch? in c/[email protected]

[–] tomjuggler 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Might be a coincidence but MX Linux still supports 32bit x86 CPU's.

I recently installed MX Linux on an old Dell Inspiron 1300 which inexplicably still runs and it's pretty snappy, considering.

Police Are Tagging Fleeing Cars With GPS Darts to Avoid Dangerous Pursuits in c/[email protected]

[–] tomjuggler 15 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'm my county a high percentage of cars have GPS trackers fitted already - by the owner - because of the high vehicle theft rate.

I imagine if that police here just have to call up the tracking company to achieve the same result - something to think about actually (I don't have one, my car isn't worth much)

Then I think the actual answer is there are none. Although PipePipe can access PeerTube? Also BiliBili and NicoNico. BiliBili is possibly larger than YouTube but of course it's all in Chinese!

I mostly use PipePipe on android, from f-droid store. It's basically New pipe but more reliable and can also view Chinese and Japanese video platforms

On desktop Freetube can't be beat

Do you usually purchase digital or physical books? Why? in c/[email protected]

[–] tomjuggler 2 points 7 months ago

Digital. I've been reading ebooks for years, starting on my flip phone back in the day. The best part to me is being able to seamlessly switch from reading with my eyes to being read to (tts - I'm used to it now and it's waaaay better than it was).

I do a lot of driving for work so I can get a ton of reading done on the road 😁

What brought you over to Lemmy? in c/asklemmy

[–] tomjuggler 5 points 7 months ago

The apipocalypse same as everyone else. I do miss my niche communities, and my 4000+ internet points, but as an open source enthusiast (I use arch btw) I'm very much at home here 😁
