Where can we get these placebos? Maybe there’s some in this truck…
On Android, I use Feeder and Nunti. Both are open source and available on f-droid.
Could it be a connectivity check for captive portals?
I’d suggest checking out the official installation instructions linked at the top of the mint homepage. They’re pretty good.
I don’t believe that’s possible, the best you can do is foss apps with android auto compatibly. The only one that shows up as an option for me on my phone is VLC, but I’m sure there are at least a few others. Someone on the fossandroid community said osmand works with it earlier today, but I don’t remember seeing it show up as an option (but that was with a rental car a year ago, things may have changed.)
How does voting work across federated instances? I appear to have both up and down vote buttons, since I’m viewing from another instance, do they not actually work? Otherwise, what prevents trolls from other instances from brigading a thread?
I had to do that recently, ended up being easier to just temporarily change the password to something short on a pc, then change it back after.
