It doesn’t show in the app drawer, but I found it via the all apps in Settings.

Go to the Settings App > Apps > “See all XX apps”. It’s called Android System SafetyCore, so it should be close to the top of the list. Tap on it and select Uninstall.

I’m curious about this. I’ve got a Pixel 6 and noticed that the battery started going to shit about a month or so ago? I couldn’t find an install date for SafetyCore, but it was listed in my apps. I’ve uninstalled it now. It’ll be interesting to see if that was causing it.

You’re more than welcome to post on shitty food porn. There’s not a lot of activity and the votes will let you know if it’s the right place (I don’t remove posts unless they’re breaking rules). It kind of has two interpretations - pictures of shitty food (self explanatory) or food porn that’s shitty (ie bad lighting, bad presentation, etc).

Or let me know if you start an “average food porn” community and I’m more than happy to link it in the sidebar of SFP.

Not the OP, but I’ve got the following bots blocked and it massively improved my Lemmy experience.

• TushyBot@booty.world
• bot@lemmit.online
• linkbot@lemmy.link
• video_feed_bot
• bOt@zerobytes.monster
• rlululemon@lululemmy.com

Hey dude - I hate removing posts because I appreciate it whenever someone contributes, but I don’t think this would be considered “offbeat”. This sounds like something more suited for the science-based communities.

Good news then, because there’s a second half to the story!

I gave up on online dating last year and I won’t be back. If that means I’ll end up dying alone, I’m honestly more comfortable with that idea than suffering though anymore of the bullshit that’s Tinder/Bumble/Hinge/etc. It’s become such a miserable experience for both sides (men and women).

As someone who had used online dating on and off for 10+ years, I can tell you one of the big problems - money and greed. I know it’s always easy to just “blame capitalism”, but I’ve seen first-hand the paradigm shift from an actual useful service (i.e. a way to meet people that you would otherwise not meet) to the blatant greed it’s become. The dating apps are so obviously profiteering off people’s loneliness it’s fucking disgusting. Back before Match bought everyone up, these services used to actually be okay for what they were.

Thank you for that! I’ve added that to the sidebar regardless of how this vote moves forwards. It’s actually just a good rule to have. I’ve gone with “no older than 2 months” to give a little wiggle room and I’ll see how that goes. I can always make it tighter down the line.

No worries mate! It’s something that’s been on my mind for a while and you finally lit a fire under my ass to do something about it 😂

Now if only I can take better care of some of my other communities 😬

A post like this is really making me wonder about the direction of this community. Not in a bad way. This is great content. I’ve been wondering for a while if I should expand the idea from “Offbeat News” to just general “Offbeat” things (news and other items). I need to formulate a mod post now lol.

Cool story bro.

It’s probably not the answer you’re looking for, but depending where you live, periwinkle is considered an invasive species and it’s generally recommended to plant something else.

Lemmy.ca has been defederated from Lemmygrad ever since I’ve been a member (June), so that’s not anything new. Looks like it goes back to at least September of last year.

Weird. I’m not getting hit by one. Maybe my ad-block is catching it.

Try this one (same story, different site):

There’s actually several nottheonion communities on Lemmy! I’m on mobile so I can’t easily link them, but you should be able the find them on https://lemmyverse.net/communities

Wait, hold the fuck up. David Tennant is returning as another Doctor!? I haven’t watched much since the Matt Smith era, but how the hell does that work with the DW lore?

You figured me out! I actually work for big candy and this Lemmy community is a long con to get everyone to eat more Skittles.

It’s a great pollinator friendly plant and easy to grow (it just needs a lot of sunlight). I’ve been adding it as a filler in-between some of my shrubs and I’m getting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds! Fantastic little plant.

r/place is an interactive art project run by reddit on April Fools. It ran in 2017 and 2022. Now they’ve brought it back for 2023 (it was supposed to have happened on April Fools this year, but various…things…happened). It kicked off again today and as expected, it’s gained attention for the bad timing (protests, tone deaf admin, etc…) and people have coordinated to write “fuck spez” messages and other things (at some point, there was a guillotine + reddit’s head).
