Probably basmati

As an Australian living in Canada, I’m far from an expert on this stuff, but it seems to me the main benefit of something like this is visibility - he had (I believe) 10s of millions of views over the various platforms it was streaming on. Hopefully some of those people were not previously engaged and now are. It’s a start.

Lol - my wife has a 6 Pro - that’s the fancy new phone in the house

This is what it feels like. But if it is Doze then it’s really broken - because it happens when my phone is plugged in and charging!

And if they don’t like the look of you, or your proof of citizenship, and decide detain and deport you - what recourse do you have?

Thanks - I found those suggestions some time ago when I first started having these issues. Every battery optimisation setting I can find, including the ones in that article, is off.

I’m on lemmy.ca too. I almost exclusively do Lemmy with the Jerboa app on my phone which has a setting to automatically mark as read on scroll. I thought the web interface did this too, but I can’t see it. Now I’m confused 🤔

I’m aware of the battery issue. Mine is one of the near bricked ones. I’m down to about 50% before I finish breakfast and coffee most days! I’m home most of the time so it’s not a big deal - I can charge often. If I leave home it’s in a car so I can charge while travelling etc. Because of where I live a replacement battery wasn’t an option. I’ve been wanting to do it myself but the kits are out of stock ever since the announcement.

Someone else noted that their Pixel 3a is still going strong and this prompted me to recheck everything. We’ll see how it goes.

I’m not just holding on to it to keep it out of landfill - although that is certainly a consideration. I really like it - the size is right etc. My wife has a Pixel 6 Pro and it’s huge. There are no new options close to this size. I am keeping an eye out for a local used Pixel 7a and will do that if I find one at a reasonable price.

Knowing that your 3a is still performing well enough promted me to double double check things.

I found that “Do Not Disturb” in the notifications settings is not just a simple on/off toggle but a sub menu. Under schedules in there I had “Flip to shh” on. In my example today it was sitting face up on my desk so should not have been in DND mode, but in general maybe being in my pocket is triggering this.

I’ve also cleared cache and data for Chat and Messages and they both prompted me to enable notifications when first run after that. (I’m sure I’ve already done this recently but can’t hurt to do it again)

And, I’ve switched back to Pixel Launcher as a test. I much prefer Niagara and will switch back as soon as I notice and improvment, or determine that changing launcher has not improved anything.

Thanks.

What network connection are you using to get these notifications?

In general a mix of WiFi and telco cellular. In the example today, my house WiFi - a UniFi U6-Lite on channel 157 at around -65dBm when at my desk.

If it’s a telco, they might have modified their network and your coverage might have changed.

Telco coverage is really poor here - I have UniFi access points in 3 buildings that I roam between. I understand I may see some issues as my phone roams between the access points but that does not explain the example today where I was just sitting at my desk.

If it’s WiFi, your router or an antenna might have come loose, or a neighbour has updated their WiFi network and is drowning out yours

The antenna of a UniFi U6 Lite is internal - I have no way to check if it’s come loose, but everything else works fine so I don’t suspect it. I live in the middle of nowhere. My closest neighbours are about 100m away - I see one of them at -75dBm and the other at -89dBm.

Have you purchased and installed new equipment? It might be causing interference. An old piece of gear, a power supply, inverter, solar panel, could suddenly generate radio noise and stop things from working too.

Not that I’m aware of. I do sometimes see a hidden SSID broadcast from " SAGEMCOM BROADBAND SAS" hardware that I can’t identify. I think it’s my Bell GigaHub that has WiFi turned off - maybe it turns itself on from time to time to scan etc.

You might think of wireless communication as unchanging, but it’s constantly updating and reacting to local conditions which in turn can vary from second to second.

Yeah, I get that. I have other radio comms issues not related to Android, so not really appropriate here. I’m a volunteer firefighter and have a Motorola Minitor VI pager sitting on my desk. My pages often come through really scratchy, or not at all. We (the fire dept.) have just spent a few thousand dollars installing a new antenna at the transmitter and this has not helped.

I’d be very interested to chat with you privately about my pager issues :-)

I don’t think that’s it - the notifications are getting to my phone, Android is just not showing them to me. In the example today in my post - the notifications were timestamped 8 and 6 minutes ago, but there was no alert for them. And, I have good connectivity - especially today’s example, sitting at my desk connected to my home wifi - which is good.

I think Lemmy has an issue with the same community existing on multiple servers and the “big stories” tend to get posted to all of them. So you’ll mark a post as read on (for example) linux@lemmy.world only to see it again a minute later on linux@lemmy.ml. If this is what you’re experiencing, I don’t think there’s a solution yet, but I think some options are being worked on.

Not just French companies, companies in multiple EU countries (from the article). And it’s only applicable if they want to do business with the US. This behaviour is pretty normal for them - they used to have policies about not buying from companies that used child labour, or didn’t enforce DEI etc. They’re just enforcing a different set of standards for their suppliers now.

I’m not saying it’s not messed up, just that it’s not unusual and shouldn’t surprise anyone.

I’m very early Gen X and take issue with being excluded from that - we were in our early 20s as computing really started to develop. Maybe I’m biased because I worked in IT.

Yeah, I can accept that. I guess what really meant was fuck the current Dems that are so clearly complicit in whatever the GOP is doing and maybe even more Zionist. If they can be overhauled to the point they can, and do, get big money out (repeal citizens united), repair all the gerymandered districts etc. then sure - go Dems. I know that’s a huge ask, but it’s what’s needed.

Fuck the Dems - I’m hoping it’s a great sign for whatever party comes out of Bernie and AOC’s current tour. (I know I don’t really understand how things work there and I’m being optimistic talking about future elections.)

I thought it was a bit weird for him to be suggesting bombing Russia now.

Yep - my mother is one of them - she won’t admit it directly, but it’s clear from some of the stuff she says.

It’s scary shit - I think there are three different “accelerationist” groups trying to destroy society as we know it. The christians waiting for the rapture, Curtis Yarvin’s tech bros that want to build their techno feudal cities and the extreme preppers that want to see some return on their investment. Have I missed anyone?

It doesn’t work for me either. Just reading the text on the page linked here was uncomfortable. It’s not like you describe though - for me it’s like there’s too much white space and there’s this mass of words almost floating around the page and it’s hard to keep track of where I’m up to. I am a bad/slow reader and all reading is like that for me - that font just seems to make it worse.

They steal from everyone. My wife was stuck in a hotel with no room service about a year ago and didn’t feel up to walking for food. She found that she could get a free year doodash subscription through her Amazon Prime. She joined, got her food and promptly cancelled the subscription. We’ve just been through the joy of getting a refund for two months of doordash that hit our credit card.
