That’s some solid form, 10/10. 🏅

I think you’re on to something w/ transition scale or animation scale, even though I’m not seeing them in GrapheneOS settings even after activating developer mode. I may just need to request this feature in GrapheneOS or look for a third party app that unlocks this setting. You’ve also given me a new phrase to search for, so thank you for that.

EDIT: I found Transition Scale and Animation Scale in GrapheneOS after activating developer mode, not sure what I did differently this time. Alas, neither of those settings solves the problem, so the hunt continues.

I’m not using any screen protector on my new phone (not yet anyway). I don’t think it’s an issue with screen sensitivity. How I see it, the issue is that in order to advance the screen left or right (say in an image carousel), I have to stretch my thumb really far over to the left side of the screen. If I don’t reach really far over, and just do a lazy right flick instead, the screen registers the touch and moves right a little bit, but when I lift my thumb, the current screen just springs back into place instead of advancing to the next screen. It’s most noticeable when viewing screenshots in the app store.

I’ve tested with Smooth Display, but still have the same issue. I think that setting has more to do with screen refresh rates and animations. I don’t think Touch Sensitivity is it, either. This seems more to do with making it easier to register touches with a screen protector. The problem that I have is not registering touches, it’s that when I swipe (e.g. left or right to sift through an image carousel), the original screen springs back into position instead of advancing to the next screen. It happens a lot in the app store when I’m using my thumb to browse the screenshots. I swipe left b/c I want to view the second screenshot, but the first screenshot moves over but not enough to advance to the second screenshot. It just snaps back into place and I’m still looking at the first screenshot. Same issue in reverse when I’m using my thumb to swipe right, it’s like it wants me to start the swipe gesture from too far left on the screen where it’s not very easy to reach, and it’s not ergonomic to have to basically wiggle the phone in my hand to reach that far over to start the swipe gesture. In summary, it’s a navigation issue, not a touch screen issue—I hope I’m making sense. Thanks anyway for chiming in, though.

I don’t see this option on GrapheneOS, even after toggling on developer mode. Thanks anyway for chiming in.

Editing to clarify that there is a setting called Smooth Display, and another called Force Peak Refresh Rate, but neither of these helps with the issue I’m having, which is that I’m constantly having to swipe multiple times to get the gesture to take.

Thanks for the tip—I did not know that. I’ll give it some more time and practice w/ quicker swipes. I’m on the Pixel 7a.

Got it, thank you so much!

Thanks, I’ll take a look at Revanced. The top two search results on DDG are revanced.net and revanced.to. The third and fourth results are two different githubs with “revanced” in the name. Is there a tried and true community approved way to get it?

Got ‘em.

How do you correct the cat when he goes on the table?

Mind if I ask which VPN service you use?

Video. We need video!

I think the original commenter is saying they do not plan to replace it with something running W11.

Far from it.

Keep in mind that instances (not just communities, but instances) come and go. Worst case, if an instance dies, yes, a community can move to a new instance, but you might want to consider several factors when choosing an instance to start a new community.

• How long has the instance been around?
• How is the instance hosted, governed, funded? Donations, non-profit, some rando’s spare laptop, etc.
• Which other instances are they federated with, and which instances are they not federated with?
• Are the instance admins active?
• How often do the admins update the instance to the latest version of Lemmy software?
• Other personal preferences, e.g., does the instance have alternate front ends, etc.

If you decide to just take over one of the existing communities whose current admins are no longer active, you can request for the LW admins to appoint you as moderator of said communities. Do try reaching out to the existing admins first. But yeah, if nothing else, you could then facilitate a transition to the new instance, e.g., poll the active users to see if they want to move, and if so, then lock the community and post a link so new users can find the other instance.

Damn, those are some cute kittens. Btw is that a Caps blanket?

Supes excited for these two:

• @carlos-cabello added a way to filter posts by title only (and not body) when searching.
• @dessalines integrated a new rust clearurls library into lemmy that will remove tracking params for any post or comment text…

Keep in mind that executive orders can be easily rolled back by the next chief executive without going through the legislature. Executive orders are a tool that can be used for good, as in this case, but it’s just something to keep in mind.
