I've just bought a new-to-me Xperia 10 V. It took me a while, but I managed to root the device, forcibly remove the bloat I didn't want, and apply some system tweaks.

There are two things that persist in frustrating me. First, I cannot shift the clock back over to the right. Shizuku & System UI Tuner appear to have no effect on this, and until I can compile a copy of LineageOS, I appear to be stuck with it in the wrong place.

The second is a little more egregious, and that's this new lockscreen/notification media control. It's horrendous. In fact, it's a step back in functionality, because the FF/RW buttons are too small to press (and sometimes don't work at all!). Yet, somehow, the notification manages to be larger than it used to be.

I'd really like to get rid of this new media notification UI, and return to the old style of media control where it was indistinguishable to other notifications bar the media controls. Short of compiling Android... 10?11? for a phone released last year, what can I do to accomplish this?

I've discovered a pattern to my logout error as referred to here: https://lemmy.world/comment/1144382

It occurs specifically when I navigate to a community page, without visiting the homepage first. If I navigate specifically to, for example, lemmy.world/c/lemmyworld, I'll be logged out. However, if I visit lemmy.world and then visit lemmy.world/c/lemmyworld, I'll be logged in.

I wonder if this is a bug with SameSite in the JWT? Reddit's token, for example, has a value of None, where Lemmy's has a value of Strict. I've changed that to None for the moment, we'll see if that changes anything

Holy shit this looks practically perfect. Thanks!

 

I'm currently using a VM to run Visual Studio on Fedora. Because I want easy access to both systems at once, without having to minimise a VM or use hotkeys to access the host system, I require a VM solution that has "seamless" integration - I.E hiding the virtual desktop, and running applications in the VM as though they were running natively.

Virtualbox has this solution, but it is somewhat unreliable and doesn't maintain seamless mode (or multi-monitor mode) between boots. VMWare has a feature called "Unity mode", which seems to be a little more reliable - however, unity mode has not been a VMware Linux feature since v7 - we are now somewhere around v17.

I'm using v7 at the moment, but I'd like to find something that won't fall over at some point in the future. RemoteApp isn't a solution, because VS needs to be able to launch a browser and communicate with it during debugging. What other VM solutions have this "seamless" functionality?

 

I'm after a remote for JMP that is just a remote. No local playback or streaming, no fancy extras, just a remote with some directional buttons, keyboard input, that sort of thing. Somethign akin to what Kore is to Kodi.

Does such a remote exist?
