Landlords should have to pay income tax on their rental properties regardless of whether they're rented out or not.
  • Literally no one can afford houses these days. This only affects rich and privileged people.

    Attached: 1 image Users are reporting that they can now enable dark mode in Snapchat without a Snapchat+ subscription! I thought it was dumb for Snapchat to lock dark mode behind a paywall, so I'm glad to see they've changed their minds!

    Lemmy Apps
  • Thanks! Seems like the project might be abandoned along with Slide. I've moved them to their own group.

  • Sync for lemmy has been released on google play. What about Boost for lemmy? When is it coming?
  • You do realize Reddit broke it, right? Unless you have millions of dollars to give him per year, Reddit gave him the boot. You're welcome to contact him privately and fund the project.

  • Lemmy Apps
  • Added. Thanks!

  • Sync for Lemmy pre-register now available!
  • I'm assuming the developer has not made it available in your country yet. Or perhaps your country doesn't have the pre-register feature?

    Works for me in Canada.

  • Which TLDs are too risky for hosting?
  • Sure! What's the name? Your comment cut off after "instance".

  • Deleted
    *Permanently Deleted*
  • Good. The lemdroid instance is run by the subreddit mods, and they're toxic as hell.

    For what it's worth, !android@lemmy.ml never closed.

  • jpeg-xl-meme.webp
  • My website uses webp because my images go from 5MB down to 100KB with no quality loss.

    My wallet and slow internet users thank me. Plus my website isn't meant for people to save images. Not sure why you'd be saving images of my products.

  • Are there any good VR games yet?
  • Too scary lol. I got it with my index and never played. Really wish valve included a less scary switch in the settings, because it's one of the best made VR games.

    Just can't do it. Not built for it.

  • Infinity for Lemmy (In Development) [Fork of Infinity Reddit]
  • Call me rude, but I don't think you should be using the exact same name if you're not the original developer.

    Something like infinity rebooted, infinity relaunch, or something like that is fine. Just straight up calling it infinity seems misleading. Also sucks for you if the original developer decides to make infinity for Lemmy.

  • Which TLDs are too risky for hosting?
  • Like zip or mov. Don't buy those. Any smart person and corporation already has those blanket banned.

  • Removed
    Some people's brain function still affected by Long COVID years after infection
  • You could have worn the best mask available to you this entire time and leaving the house one time over the last 3 years would still out you ar risk. Short of being a shutin forever, what would you have people actually do?

    Maybe America shouldn't have declared COVID over when it was at its peak because they were "tired of wearing masks"?

    I still wear my mask because COVID is still around. Never caught it. I have always properly worn it, wear it every time no exceptions, and be sure to properly wash my hands as well as wipe down my groceries and everything else that enters my home.

    My girlfriend and I are the only two people we know that has not gotten COVID.

    The amount of people I see who claim they wear their mask all the time but then post Instagram photos of them hanging out with people is too damn high. Just because they are friends or family doesn't mean they can't spread COVID to you lmao.

  • Stardew Valley+ Now Available on Apple Arcade
  • Ya, Play Pass is like Apple arcade. It has also been on the play store for years now.

    Just seems weird it took so long to come to Apple arcade, when it was on both the play store and play pass for a long time.

  • I feel like Fediverse users are nicer to each other and more generous with upvotes than reddit.
  • I find that it very much depends. It was very positive a month ago, but day by day I see a lot more arguing, name calling, and petty downvoting.

  • Stardew Valley+ Now Available on Apple Arcade
  • Why did it take so long? Stardew Valley has been on Play Pass for years now. Seems weird.

  • Lemmy Apps
  • Added! Thanks!

  • Lemmy banner on r/place
  • I wouldn't.

    That website is confusing to the average user and makes no sense. Linking directly to an instance, doesn't matter which, gives them a familiar UI to Reddit, and allows them to click "sign up" without issue. From there they can learn about instances and join a different one.

    join-lemmy.org is confusing, and makes it seem like it's some software you download to the average user.

  • lemmy.fmhy.ml is gone [update from the team]
  • I can't open that link because I block .zip domains lol

    The Emoji Wallpaper feature Google announced at I/O is now rolling out to Pixel users on Android 14 Beta 3

    Originally posted on Reddit by MishaalRahman

    According to multiple users on Telegram, Google is rolling out an update to the Emoji Wallpaper app in Android 14 Beta 3.

    The update shows up on Google Play as "Emoji Workshop Wallpaper" and enables you to use the emoji wallpaper feature in Wallpaper & styles.

    Here's the Play Store link. The listing doesn't appear if you open Google Play on the web, but it does appear if you open it on a Pixel phone as it filters for devices that declare com.google.android.feature.PIXEL_EXPERIENCE.

    There are two main differences between the prebuilt Emoji Wallpaper app in the firmware and the updated Emoji Workshop Wallpaper app.

    1. "Emoji Labs" in Wallpaper & style has been renamed to "Emoji Workshop"

    2. The emoji wallpaper is now interactive, as shown off at I/O.

    The min SDK version of the Emoji Workshop Wallpaper app is 33, so it can be installed on Android 13+ devices. However, if you sideload it on a device without Google's Wallpaper & style app, you'll have to manually launch the activity to create/set the wallpaper.

    ---

    Once the APK is up on APKMirror, I'll update this post with a link in case you want to sideload it on your non-Pixel device. Alternatively, you can grab the APK shared by the Google News Telegram group.

    Android 14 Beta 3 now available!

    Originally posted by /u/androidbetaprogram on Reddit.

    Hi Beta users,

    Today we’re releasing Android 14 Beta 3 (UPB3.230519.008) which includes our latest fixes and optimizations. We’ve also enabled Android Beta enrollment for the new Pixel 7a!

    The following issues are fixed in Beta 3:

    • Fixed issues that prevented Wi-Fi calling from being enabled for some devices and carriers. (Issue #277964472)
    • Fixed an issue that caused Direct My Call interactions to fail in some cases where they would normally work. (Issue #278252154)
    • Fixed system issues that caused unnecessary power consumption in some cases.
    • Fixed system stability issues that caused UI jank in some cases.
    • Fixed an issue that caused the system Settings app to crash while setting the wallpaper.
    • Fixed an issue with the system UI that could cause a GPU hang, leading to "Application Not Responding" (ANR) errors.
    • Fixed a system issue that could sometimes cause a device's GPS services to stop working until the device was rebooted.
    • Fixed issues with the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) that could prevent devices from being able to make Wi-Fi calls in some cases.
    • Fixed an issue where a blank screen displays after selecting the "Message" option for a recent caller in the Google Phone app.
    • Fixed an issue where while 3-button navigation was enabled for a device, putting Google Maps into picture-in-picture mode made the picture-in-picture window disappear.
    • Fixed an issue where locking and unlocking a device while playing a video in the Google TV app could cause the device to freeze.
    • Fixed an issue with Android Auto where some users could be asked to re-pair Bluetooth.
    • Fixed issues with Health Connect, including the following issues and other API and system behaviors:
      • An issue where the system back button stopped working while Health Connect integration was in progress.
      • An issue where the Route Permissions screen would sometimes freeze.
      • An issue where Health Connect sometimes couldn't be accessed in system settings.
      • An issue where the data category page of Health Connect was missing some permission types when a filter was applied.

    Known Issues:

    • An issue with the Credential Manager platform APIs causes instability in apps that use them. A fix is available in the latest preview version of the Android 14 SDK, which developers can install using Android Studio. Developers who previously installed a preview version of the Android 14 SDK should completely uninstall the previous version and then reinstall the SDK to apply the fix.
    • An issue with the system UI sometimes causes the screen to flicker when a video is playing or an app is using in picture-in-picture mode.
    • In some cases, video continues playing in the background even after closing an app if the video was playing in picture-in-picture mode when it was closed.
    • A video that is playing in picture-in-picture mode stops playing abruptly if the back gesture is used within the PiP settings screens.
    • A system issue can sometimes cause the Android System Intelligence service to crash.
    • When using a device with a work profile, the Google Play Store app in the work profile hangs or crashes when launched.

    See top open issues for the latest list of top open issues that have been reported by developers.

    Android 14 Beta 2.1 patch now available!

    Originally posted by /u/androidbetaprogram on Reddit. Edited to remove some first person language and condense down to just the change log.

    Android 14 Beta 2.1 patch UPB2.230407.019 change log:

    • Fixed an issue that prevented users from completing device setup after opting a device running an Android 14 beta build out of the beta program. However, this fix is not backward compatible, so users that want to opt out of the beta program should take the following steps before opting out:
      • Update the device to Android 14 Beta 2.1, either through the over-the-air (OTA) update prompt, or by downloading an OTA image and then applying the update manually.
      • If your device is already opted out of the beta program and currently experiencing this issue, follow the steps above and download Beta 2.1.
      • Reset the pin, pattern, or password that's used on the device by navigating to Settings > Security & privacy > Screen lock. You can use the same pin, pattern, or password that was used previously, but you need to go through the setup flow.
      • Opt out of the beta program by following the instructions listed for the "How can I opt out and return to a public Android release" question in the FAQ section of the Android Beta Program page. If your device is not enrolled, you can download the public Android 13 images instead.
    • Fixed more issues that could cause the battery percentage to display as 0% regardless of the actual charge level of the device. (Issue #281890661)
    • Fixed issues that sometimes caused audio disruptions with the device's speakers. (Issue #282020333, Issue #281926462, Issue #282558809)
    • Fixed system stability issues that could cause apps or the device to freeze or crash. (Issue #281108515)
    • Fixed an issue with always-on-display mode when using a device with Android Auto. (Issue #282184174)
    • Fixed an issue that sometimes caused the Google Photos app to crash when trying to open certain photos.
    • Fixed an issue where, while gesture navigation was enabled for a device, putting a video into picture-in-picture mode in the Google TV app made the picture-in-picture window disappear, even though playback continued and audio could still be heard.
    • Fixed an issue that caused the Google Contacts app to crash when managing account settings.
    • Fixed an issue where the icon for the Google Messages app did not display for notifications when always-on-display mode was enabled.
