#Firefox #Mobile #Site #Permissions - Again usability issues with Firefox, how do I #change site permissions per site on mobile? On desktop it's trivial, but on mobile, can't find a way to do that.
I'm now using Ubuntu Touch on my primary mobile phone since April and I can say it: it works pretty well. I'm using a Fairphone 2. There are bugs of course, but still, for an OS dev mainly by volunteers, it is really cool. I'll take more time to post a more detailled feedback soon.
Your typical desktop or laptop has a lot of resources to spare. Your typical mobile device has none. Mobile promotes a client/server mainframe/dumb-term architecture for fundamental technical reasons.
Mobile devices really are thin clients -- teched-up "dumb terminals for the cloud." Since the cloud is Mainframe 2.0, mobile devices are the "glass TTY" (e.g. VT100) 2.0.
If you're into that #gameplay, the good news is that the game does stay true to its predecessors in the music and SFX departments. According to the app's description,
> "The original game’s sound and VFX have been faithfully recreated."
I can vouch for that. It does sound and look like a Metal Slug game.
The new Metal Slug Infinity brings back a lot of nostalgia -- great to see familiar characters like Marco and Tarma -- but it's not quite like the games I used to play in the arcade at the best laundromat in town.
Unfortunately, the birdsite's #mobile website will also detect that you enforce #pricacy and #security regulations by running #javascriptFree. And it, too, will ask you whether you would like to visit their #legacy web site.
So you press Yes.
And nothing seems to happen.
Why?
Because #Twitter#webdevs chose to save your preference in a #cookie in your browser. So you have to allow 1st-party cookies.
so, as far as droid goes, i can set vpn settings to block all connections without vpn. but i am confused why this blocks the vpn itself from making a connection. shouldn't it be possible for everything besides the vpn to make a connection?
that would resolve a few leaky issues /on boot/
the boot process for android is also a little weird to me, and it lacks some amount of control, even with privacy guard, which can disable /on boot/ startup, but doesn't really seem to do much.
Having trouble with the #PWA on mobile for mastodon.social. Anyone else? Pixel 2 Chrome. I get just a blank timeline. Tried an incognito session too. Same result. I have 2FA if that matters. Has been working great until today. #mastodon#mobile
Consuming #news is key to #democratic#citizenship, but is #attention to news the same in a mobile environment? This new paper argues that attention to news on mobile devices such as tablets and #smartphones is not the same as attention to news for those on computers. The research uses eye tracking in two lab experiments to capture the effects of #mobile device use on news attention.
