making analysis or historical commentary on film

I’ve been really enjoying the podcast Four Play on the Last Free Nation Culture channel: https://piped.video/@LastFreeNationCulture https://www.youtube.com/@LastFreeNationCulture

literally a stock Pixel phone with missing features

Does the stock Pixel operating system have a network permission toggle that can limit any app’s access to the internet pre- or post-install?

Does the stock Pixel OS have storage scopes or contact scopes, both of which give you granular control over what data an app can see/access?

3D Pinball Space Cadet

Pokémon Blue

Season 4 of The Boys

Release of KDE Plasma 6

Philip K. Dick’s Electric Dreams (joint UK and US production, premiered first on Channel 4)

great ones that never took off in the states

I want an android style permissions menu

Same. In addition to the prompt-based permissions that @Kusimulkku@lemm.ee brings up, I’d like to see more granular control of permissions. For example, a flatpak app’s access to webcams, controllers, etc. are all controlled through just one permission: --device=all (aka “Device Access” in KDE’s Flatpak Permission Settings).

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Hades, and Portal

When I feel very bored, I go to the Wikipedia page of a movie that I do not intend to watch anytime soon and just read the entire plot write-up, as well as the “Critical Response” subsection.

Hopefully, this release also includes this fix for forced Vsync for fullscreen games under KDE Wayland.

The Thirteenth Floor (1999)

If those financial apps include banking apps, then this post by a mod of the GrapheneOS Discussion Forum should be useful. It includes a link to an up-to-date list of banking apps compatible with GrapheneOS and a link to steps to help resolve compatibility issues if they do occur.

To add on to this tip, for anyone who is reluctant to or cannot install an extension on their browser, you can copy and paste the YouTube link into the search bar of your favorite Piped instance and hit Enter.
