If it's still not working for you, then I'd add that Matrix has been buggy in my experience. It's a great project but feels like a beta. I'll be using the call feature later today, so I will get back to you with my experience.

Nice that y'all are on the same page for many issues. Most shocking thing for me is hearing folks are still using Twitter Tinder for serious dating in 2025! It's not just for nsa hooking up? 😄

It's tough because I absolutely do care about privacy. But I find attempting a mobile experience free from Apple and Google to be technically challenging with problems that aren't solved currently. It seems much more difficult than installing desktop Linux today, and akin to what it was like 20 years ago.

Why does markdown treat linefeeds as spaces?

I know there's probably a good technical or historical explanation, but it's very irritating to copy/paste text into Lemmy to have it looking like poo after posting. Is there an Android editor that will add double spaces to ends of lines so it's wysiwyg? Bonus if it will also insert "> " at the beginning of lines for quoting ...

I kind of understand what you're saying. But in an age of smartphones, I have to manually add double spaces at the end of every line for the end product to display as it appears when editing it. This probably seems trivial and stupid for folks on desktop, but even Discord has this figured out. Is this something that needs to be added at the app level?

9limmer OP , (edited )
@9limmer@lemmy.zip avatar

That's an entirely different issue. I think what you're talking about is just a shortcut for typing quickly. Even then a double space is replaced with a period and single space.

I'm talking about two paragraphs with two linefeeds in between will be displayed as a single paragraph unless there are two spaces before the linefeeds.

Yeah, had a brain fart. I mean your second case. This seems trivial when typing short comments as you've done, but it's incredible tedious when copying and pasting long lists and articles.

Could the UI and App devs please make it more clear that URL and image options when making a post are mutually exclusive?

Jerboa's not too bad, as the URL field is the same field the link to your uploaded image ends up overwriting, but I swear I see people making this mistake every fucking day. End up posting just an image when they wanted image + link. ...

The case for piracy on Android

I am sure most of you might be aware that Google plans to bans the simple act of sideloading [though I presume adb driven sideloading remains] on it's platform in name of security. At the same time Play Store itself remains riddled with malware. However, here I wish to throw light on a different rising case of apps, a set that ...

Spotify is killing the music business and the CEO invests in military tech to kill people. It's evil. Don't do it.

I imagine there would be several YouTube front ends for Linux, but I'm out of the loop as I've not had a Linux box in ages. On Android, I use NewPipe and others like Revanced (haven't tried). You might also want to check out self-hosting comms. Those folks are very knowledgeable about going completely independent.

He's recently stepped down as CEO but apparently still remains heavily involved in the business.

Spotify’s stock price has taken a bit of a tumble since Ek’s announcement on September 30, dropping around 7.5% as of mid-day trading on the NYSE on October 9. That may be a reflection of the confidence that investors have in Ek as the driving force behind Spotify, and why Ek has gone to pains to stress that he is not leaving the company, and will continue to have an active hand in the business as a “European”-style Executive Chairman.

“Most investors may come at it from a US perspective, where [Chairman is] mostly a ceremonial role. In Europe, it isn’t. In fact, a Chairman is someone who’s quite active in the business, sometimes even represents the business externally to different stakeholders, like, for instance, governments or key partners,” Ek said on a recent investor call.

Ek walks away from the CEO role as one of the 10 richest people in Sweden, with Forbes estimating his fortune at $9.6 billion. Amid a massive run-up in Spotify’s stock over the past few years (at around $673 per share, it’s gone up about 8.5-fold since a bottom below $80 in late 2022), Ek has cashed in a significant amount of Spotify shares. By MBW’s estimates, he had sold nearly $808 million in Spotify stock as of this past May.

...

But some of Ek’s investments have proven controversial, most notably Prima Materia’s leading role in a €600 million ($700 million) Series D funding round into German defense firm Helsing. The company has sparked concerns over its joint project with Swedish aerospace company Saab to build an AI “combat agent” that can operate fighter jets.

That left a bitter taste in the mouths of many artists on Spotify, especially those who already considered the streaming service to be paying out what they see as low royalty rates on streams, cutting corners on mechanical royalties in the US, and (particularly irksome for some) paying Joe Rogan a huge sum for his podcast.

For some artists, it was the last straw. A number of them, including Sylvan Esso, Godspeed! You Black Emperor, Deerhoof and King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard have announced they’re pulling their music from Spotify.

...Spotify’s Chief Executive Daniel Ek announced that he’d led a funding round of nearly $700 million (through his personal investment firm, Prima Materia) into the European defense firm Helsing. That company, which Ek now chairs, specializes in AI software integrated into fighter aircraft like its HX-2 AI Strike Drone. “Helsing is uniquely positioned with its AI leadership to deliver these critical capabilities in all-domain defence innovation,” Ek said in a statement about the funding round.

What is a good substitute for tomato?

So I have some food sensitivity issues and in particular I don't like raw tomato. They're gooey and seedy and they just make me feel kind of weird. Unfortunately there are a lot of things, especially sandwiches, which use tomato as a fairly critical part of the flavor of the dish. So just taking it out isn't ideally because it ...

If texture is your problem, try sun-dried tomatoes. Get good ones that aren't dried into fruit leather and you can slice thinly and use as you would raw. Otherwise, they can reconstituted in warm water in a few minutes. Remember they're dried and have very concentrated flavor so don't use the same amount by volume as you would raw.

Follow-up:

Journalist Mario Guevara has vowed to continue his work reporting despite his deportation to El Salvador following his arrest while covering a protest in Georgia.

Guevara landed in the South American country early Friday morning, just days after the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that his deportation could go forward.

Speaking to CBS News Atlanta on Monday, Guevara said he was grateful to be out of ICE custody, but that the separation from his family has left him devastated.

"I was in jail 110 days, and now finally I'm not a prisoner anymore. I'm free, but I am away from my family. I am here, working in the area, trying to think about my situation," Guevara said. "I have a second chance to be better, obviously, because I miss my family. I miss the United States."

I'll have to check for consistency, but it doesn't seem to happen nearly as often with Summit (or at all). I'm trying Jerboa and Interstellar was working well before an unrelated glitch put that app on pause.

Edit: Just checked and background usage was already on, so I think it's app-related.
