KeePassDX. I don’t see a reason to change.

On Android? I think that one’s PC only.

I have Play Protect turned on, and I have no problem installing apps from Droid-ify or Obtanium.

Yeah, that’s how it seems to me!

The console is backward compatible. It will run all Switch 1 games without buying any upgrade packs.

Will the game run on 1080p with crapy fps on Switch 2

Very likely, yes. The system basically emulates a Switch 1, and emulators must add limits to virtual chips because otherwise there would be bugs.

For instance, when I first started emulating BotW, there was a 60 FPS patch. It made the game unplayable for me. The menu selections moved too fast. If I pressed Up or Down a little too long, it would jump the selection to the top or bottom. I ended up choosing the wrong thing in so many conversations that I got frustrated and turned it off. Eventually the devs released another patch that makes menus work better at 60fps.

Stuff like that is exactly what this upgrade patch will do. It fixes the game to run as if it were a native Switch 2 game, because it’s not!

There are no new textures. Only better resolution with upgrade pack. So you gonna play 4k TOTK with the same textures.

OK, I guess I misunderstood. I still think it’ll look fine. The textures are cartoony anyways, and in 4k, the objects will be so sharp. Text will probably be updated if it doesn’t already use a vector font, but I’m just guessing on that.

The upgrade pack will act like DLC that modifies the game to load off of internal storage on the console. That’ll be faster than loading it off of a switch cartridge. The textures will be enhanced as well, and downloaded from Nintendo servers onto your console.

So how you are suppose to play it in Switch 2 without an upgrade pack?

You just put it in and it runs. Exactly like putting a Game Cube game in a Wii. Or a PS1 game in a PS2. How is this not obvious?

What you gain?

Nothing, except now you can sell your Switch 1 and still play your original Switch games, and not have to have two consoles.

Ohhhhh, this is required? You can’t just pop it in and play it as-is?

They released a game for a console you already owned, and then released it again on the new console, and people got mad? I dunno.

I loved my Wii U, and loved playing BotW on it. I guess it wasn’t designed to use the control pad in any special way, which was a bit of a drag, but it played great.

You pay $10 to utilize the console you bought over a game you have.

I’ve read this sentence like 10 times, and I just don’t get it. What are you saying here?

Testing automation:

https://www.chase.com/

https://github.com/LinkSheet/nightly

Well, that’s not very useful. The “open” automation option just opens the URL in the top item in the dropdown, which for chase.com turns out to be the ticket master app…? That’s just one example, but the behavior is just not predictable. There doesn’t seem to be a way to use a particular browser to open the specified URL.

People should use the nightly builds since the stable builds are like two years old. They can be installed with Obtanium.

Oh, interesting. I have that installed, but didn’t realize it could be your default browser. 😅 I had been sharing links to it manually like you have to do with Léon the URL Cleaner. Using it as your default browser is really cool.

Turns out, you can also add automations to URLCheck. Maybe it can be programmed to open OP’s bank links in a certain browser with zero interaction, and then open every other link in their normal browser, again, with zero interaction. EDIT: This doesn’t seem possible. See my comment reply.

Alternatively, someone in this thread recommended LinkSheet, which seems nice since it is similar to the standard “choose and app” UI in Android, and lets you choose a specific browser. Some people might prefer the familiar UI, although it seems to require a double tap to choose a browser, not a single tap.

Here’s Linksheet’s UI:

This next screenshot is URLCheck, for those who haven’t used it, with my own modifications by turning certain modules off and changing others. For one, you can make the Cleaner module auto-apply instead of having to tap it manually. This is great for removing YouTube tracking tokens and such. Now that I figured out you can set it to auto-apply, I’m going to probably stop using Léon and just use URLCheck.

It’s nice that it supports opening links in apps that are set to handle such links instead of only showing general web browsers. I’m gonna start using URLCheck more, and try it as my default browser for a while, and maybe set up some automations. I learned a lot while writing this comment!

I just wish there were a keyboard that let me set a custom key layout. I would put huge padding between Space and the letters, and also between M and backspace. I can’t count how many times I wrote a word and hit backspace instead of M and got some garbage word in my message. Like turning “take my” into Takey. WTF is Takey? And why did FUTO capiliaze it for me? I’m surprised Takey was an actual word. I was trying to find an example where it autocorrected into something entirely different.

If they could stop capitalizing every word that could even remotely be a name, that’d be swell. It capitalizes shit like “mark” in the middle of a sentence, for example. So often. And many, many other words, too. It’s maddening!

I switched to FUTO, and it does the same thing since it’s based on the same core code. FUTO has pretty good on-device speech-to-text which is nice.

However, FUTO is much worse at detecting the accidental press of “n” instead of spacebar. Gboard usually figures it out. FUTO usually corrects it to random words. Or not at all.

Yeah, I only used the validator to find the error after Obtanium said “Invalid input”. I don’t know what the deal is. Thanks for the screenshots! I’ll try it tomorrow.

It looks the same to me, and I get the exact same error trying to use a validator/formator.

Some of the 5-star reviews are jokes, and others are just bizarre!

This doesn’t load in Obtainium, and trying to validate the json gets the error below.

It looks like the value should be a simple list of strings, but everything is escaped and it has double square brackets, and it’s enclosed in quotes.

Every gallery app on Android is doing this.

Fossify Gallery is not doing this.

I’m genuinely surprised it still exists! I remember when you were forced to use it to get the Amazon app, or the Kindle app, or whatever. I thought it was gone years ago.

That’s what I meant, my bad.

Galaxy is a Motorola Samsung brand. I have a Pixel 7 Pro. I don’t know if it’s limited to pixel phones. It might be.

I don’t know what phone you have, but I have a Pixel 7 Pro, and I can simply long press the home key to invoke the “Circle to Search” command, and that will identify any QR code on the screen and overlay a link that I can tap.

why is protection from malicious apps from the play store being performed on the phone instead of in the store?

Because it’s behavior-based. You can’t tell how software will behave until you run it. And running it means having real human interactions with the software and the environment on your phone. It’s literally impossible to predict what software will do just by reading the code. It’s the Halting Problem. I’m no expert though, and I’m kind of assuming.

And I’m sure that some exploits are detected in the source code by the Play Store when they’re done naively and obiviously.

Visible trial SIM then? They have free one-week trials.

Ah, for some reason I assumed you meant Fennec in your original comment. I see now that person you replied to mentioned both.

What URL do you put in Obtanium?

I found what I think is the source for the fennec patches to the Firefox source code, but there’s no releases page. F-Droid still has v133. Where are you finding more recently updated releases?

That does appear to be the source, but Obtanium needs a Releases page, as far as I can tell, and people only seem to talk about it in relation to github.

I found a YouTube video that says it can install from all sorts of places. I’m going to watch it to get the gist of it.

What is the Fennec URL? I’ve been searching for 5 minutes with both DDG and Google and can’t find it. “Fennec” is a really overloaded word. All I can find is the F-Droid page, not the source. I wanted to try Obtanium for the first time.

Thanks for the recommendation! It looks really good so far. Well, except for the swipe typing. If they can perfect swipe typing, I’d be so impressed. Even Gboard does it terribly. I noticed they have a public website to help train swiping. That’s neat. https://swipe.futo.org/

After I tap a suggestion , if I hit a punctuation key , it leaves a space after the word . (like in that sentence .) Gboard removes the space automatically, and Heliboard doesn’t add it to begin with.

Turns out, you can turn off automatic spaces entirely, and that feels better.

There’s a github for issue tacking and a Discord for discussions. These are good signs. I really like what I see so far.

It was eerie. I’m just telling you what my honest impression was. The thread was “What’s your favorite Android keyboard?” and like 8 of the first 10 comments were for Florisboard, despite it being far behind other keyboards, and I had never even heard of it. It made me feel it was some sort of scam keyboard. It’s similar to a situation where if every YouTube influencer is telling me I need to insall something, that’s a giant red flag. Especially when that thing was objectively worse than other options at the time.

Don’t tell me I can’t comment with my honest experiences.

And here you are touting a feature that other keyboards have had for years.

Why not HeliBoard?

Last time I saw anyone mention FlorisBoard, a whole post’s comments section was recommending it. Almost like the post got brigaded by astroturfers shilling FlorisBoard. At the time it didn’t even have autocorrect or other basic features. It felt like the Twilight zone.

Now, I don’t trust anyone who recommends it because it had literally no features over an already established keyboard like HeliBoard, yet a entire post of evangelists coming out of the woodwork. Makes no sense.

Mine is useful and seems accurate. I just looked, and the top two apps are the ones I’ve been using for the past two hours. I have a Pixel 7 Pro. What phone do you have? Your numbers do seem useless.

They used the “View Source” feature like I told them to.

You can see the real comment in the background.

You need to put a space after the period after your numbers to make a numbered list. Your list is all jumbled up into a paragraph. Doing it the right way also means the numbers you use don’t actually matter, which is nice because inserting an item near the top doesn’t mean you then have to edit all the numbers under it. They can all be 1. and the list will be numbered correctly.

My list:

1. Mull (Firefox fork)
2. Signal
3. Google Messages
4. Pi Music Player
5. Shattered Pixel Dungeon
6. Thunder for Lemmy
7. YouTube
8. Google Camera
9. Fossify Gallery
10. KeePassDX

For giggles, view the source of my comment. Oh shit, I broke it by adding a 10th item. At least in Thunder. It doesn’t support 1000000000 as a number for an ordered list.

But their username has “Lemmy” in it. It’s a Lemmy post

Where #do you #think you #are?

Same. This is the best photo editor I’ve used on Android. The UI takes some getting used to, but it can do everything OP said, even the clipboard stuff. (Mostly. See below.)

It has curves, cloning, painting, cropping, rotating, resizing, add text, add image, add arbitrary shapes, and more and more. It can even make animated GIFs or extract frames from GIFs.

It’s like Photoshop but not from Adobe. I paid for the pro version forever ago and have been using it for years.

Clipboard stuff: It can’t open the clipboard as a file that I can tell, but you can paste the clipboard into an image using the “text/image” function. You can even have it resize the pasted image to fit the current document size. So you make a new document that’s the size you want, use Text/Image to paste it in with that setting emabled.

And then you can export the current image to the clipboard using the normal save feature. Or save it to an actual file.

I used to love that app, but it’s dead and only supports 32 bit devices. I can’t install it on my Pixel 7 Pro.

I don’t think you even understood the question. Android has this, but it’s tied to Google. OP os asking if there’s an alternative non-Google solution.
