Hi y'all. Disclaimer I'm 1) running GrapheneOS, 2) returning go Android after many years of using iPhone.

Maybe I'm stupid, but I find it way harder to paste image links (inserting the image) on Android than iPhone.

I find an image on the web, press it and select "Share" then "Copy image with link". Except the link won't appear. It does not exist in my clipboard. Weirdly enough, I can paste it in this post and Voyager will automatically convert it to an image.

I think I'm stupid because this shouldn't be hard. I insert images using urls all the time to avoid downloading a bunch of files. Is it an issue with Vanadium? The OS? Me? Point me in the right direction.

It frequently marks the text as red in my native language but never in English (unless there is a real error in the text). Anybody know why? See image below...

Preferably an application that you can sync and save. Not sure what alternatives are safe in terms of privacy and security.

Forgive me for this stupid question. I just transitioned from iPhone to Pixel (GrapheneOS) and I'm curious why there isn't a built in PDF viewer like on iPhone? It feels like you have to open things externally pretty often, but I figure there's a reason for that. I haven't used Android in many years and I recently developed an interest for the technical aspects of things, so again, do forgive this beginners question.

Cheers y'all!

Feel free to share any life experiences or anecdotes.

I mean movies that are just like regular modern comedy movies but take place in a historical setting. Some examples include “The Little Hours” and “A Million Ways to Die in the West.” Furthermore, does anybody have any more examples of movies like these?

Hello all.

I am once again asking for your technical advice. Maybe somebody else will find this thread useful and ask about their preferences, too.

What I mean by "budget" is the price range of 300-600 dollars.

My priorities are as follow:

• Great battery life (!)
• Lightweight
• Quiet fans and keyboard
• Able to run Linux (!)

What I will use this computer for is:

• Writing documents, viewing PowerPoints, the occasional call.
• Watching Youtube and movies.
• Scrolling the web and engaging with sites such as Lemmy.

I will NOT be using the computer for any coding, programming, video- or photo editing. The occasional gaming may occur, but it's only one lightweight game I play on Steam from time to time.

What I have been looking at so far has been: Acer Aspire 5, Acer Swift 3, and the Lenovo Slim Series. Unfortunately, I don't know much about computers so I can't tell if these candidates are worth considering.

Furthermore, I don't really know what Ryzen or AMD entails. I think Ryzen is more apt for gaming? In which case, I'll be an AMD user. As long as it's able to run Linux, no problem.

Sorry to dump my personal insecurities on you all, but what say you, Lemmings? What is your verdict?

Sorry, might not be the right place, but I thought I’d ask.

I’m looking for a FOSS app where you can create your own dictionary: insert words and their meanings, and smoothly sort them in different word classes. I tried out the app Kalimaty, and it’s great, except for the fact it’s subscription-based and does not have many options for the free tier.

If there is no such app like this, is there another way I can make my own dictionary? I have written the words down in my notes but because there are so many it’s hard to keep track of all of them and it slows the Notes app down.

Cheers!

*should mention I am on iPhone.

Edit: THANK YOU ALL! I am taking all recommendations into consideration and will be giving them a listen sometime. I was a little overwhelmed hence my lack of response, but I greatly appreciate what you’ve written. (-:

Yes, this is a “suggest me songs” post. Only because I don’t know which other community is more appropriate.

I’m looking to revamp my main playlist and clean out songs I don’t revisit all that often. I was hoping you all could suggest some songs OR albums based on my current taste. The other reason I make this post is because I fear I’ll go my entire life without hearing fantastically underrated albums, and I know lemmists to have taste.

That being said, here are some of my favourite artists and albums:

• Lana Del Rey
• Marina and the Diamonds
• The Bravery
• “Disintegration” by The Cure
• Foreign Air
• Saint Motel
• “How to be a Human Being” by Glass Animals
• Garbage
• Madonna, especially the albums prior to the 00s
• Palaye Royale
• Vendredi sur Mer

I am additionally looking for artists similar to Crystal Castles, Com Truise, and Cults. Anything indie / electro / disco / jazz / poprock / pop-punk is welcome. Honestly, y’all don’t even have to take into consideration what I’ve just listed. Just give me the best you’ve got! Cheers. (:

I just found my first phone ever and decided to start it up. I found out the password and decided to factory reset it since I’m planning on selling it. However, ever since I resetted it, it has been stuck on the same “Installing applications” screen (see image). I tried the volume up+power button+home button tactic and chose factory reset and then boot system, but it won’t budge. Anybody know how to solve this?

The Diomede Islands are two islands in the Arctic Ocean, between Alaska and Siberia. Despite the distance being 4 kilometres, there is a time difference of 21 hours between them. Why?

I’m asking because it’s quite difficult for me to grasp the concept of time differences when the physical distances are so short. I know of the International Date Line, but I’m not sure what it entails. If any nerds would care to enlighten me, I’d appreciate it!

(This question also applies to the Kiribati Island and Howland Island; the time difference is ~26 hours, yet the physical distance is only ~2160 km?)
