๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ Ok, I expected to create this mini chaos. I am not particulary acute, but I normally tend to figure out, while using a client, how to select and copy the a portion of text. In this case, before posting, I've tried some of the most obvious and intuitive solutions without any results, the only ones I've obtained where cumbersome and unsatisfaying.
I did not know existed so many app/clients for Lemmy. I've just tried 2 and this one, Voyager, is, I repeat, graphically very rich and beautiful, if compared with the previous and, also with Reddit is fun (the reddit client I used until it was shut down following that rascal Reddit did to the creator of RIF). I want to support Voyager because is by far the most beautiful app I've used among those said clients.
I'm sure there must be a most practical and elegant to selct and copy the text, I'll find out and I'll let you know, thanks for all your answer and the desire to help!

I am using Voyager, which compared to the previous client I was using is remarkable, beside this and other features that don't work in an intuitive way or maybe don't work at all.

Sorry, which app is it? I use Voyager, that is graphically impeccable but a bit abstruse.

[โ€“] vanveen 4 points 1 year ago

I use Voyager, but there's not any option to select text but cumbersome(see below). I just can't heavy-tap, select and copy. And even when I do that operation of tapping high on the left hand side of the screen and little menu appears, I tap on select text, and sometimes I can select only the title of the article, not the text.

How do I download and could use it for my own tasks - written test for my students, writing letters and doing research?

I totally agree with you and this is the opportunity to call on the tech savy who are here. There's a lot of people like OP, like me, drenched in frustration, because we realize we are the product, but we don't have the strength and the knowledge to emancipate ourself from this position of semilliterate. Yes, you could say: just study, but when one works the time, having some organized free time is the Neverland. I think it'd be something memorable, that will endure times if people of good fill could put together some sort of wikipedia that explains simply how to come back to be a user, or even better an explorer and not just a product.
I know there's something like but I do not have the skills to install it. I do have a proton account, I use DDG, mozilla firefox and I tend to use f-droid for every app, before going to Google play to download what I need.
I began to pay for the Internet services or make donations (small ones) to organizations who are respectful toward the person and bring/offer interesting contents to the net (Intercept.
But what misses is the will to communicate and literate people like us that suffer the Internet without having to tools to take back our right to be just a curious person who want to wander through the world rather than into a mega mall center.

I did the same, but athough I love this place, there's still a huge scarcity of contents. Sometimes, as a lurker, to find more stuff. Here we're just an handful, thus I cannot still find here what I used to find on Reddit.

You are really great to resist. Heck if must be difficult say no! Great admiration toward people like you

Which prompt one must give to generate such image? How was generated? Which software? I really don't understand if it's a real image or a ai one.

Why Google pays these money to Mozilla?
