2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    That feature has always been annoying to me, even on phones. I always turn it off because "I" will control whether my screen rotates or not. Maybe sometimes I don't want it to rotate when I turn the phone (like when I'm viewing building plans at work and want to orient the screen with how I'm looking at the building I'm standing in).

    Not sure how standard this is, but on Pixel phones the default is no auto rotation, but when the phone detects rotation it will display a tiny rotate button in the corner of the screen for just a few seconds. Best of both worlds IMO.

    That's a stock Android feature, or at least it's on Motorola phones. Handy button.

    On stock Android and Samsung, the default is auto rotation, but when I turn it off, exactly that happens. That's why I turn it off.

    That rotate button is incredibly annoying. I turned off auto-rotate for a reason and the button obscures other information displayed in that corner of the screen. Wish I could turn the button off too.

    What information is in your navigation bar?

    There is no navigation bar on the Pixel 8. It uses some sort of gesture-based system instead.

    [–] Rexios@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    It’s still a navigation bar it’s just transparent. If there’s important information down there that can get blocked by it then the developers of the app did something wrong.

    [–] taladar@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

    It is simply the bottom of the app window. There is nothing app-specific to this behaviour, lots of apps show information in the lower 20-30 pixels of their window.

    Not pixel specific, stock android. You can enable the old on-screen buttons for accessibility reasons or if you're a grumpy old sod who hates change.
