Mr Tang said: “Typically broadband customers will pay for 13 months in a year rather than 12, thanks to inflation linked mid-contract price rises.

Zen has never done this in its 28 years of trading.

Sure about that? My broadband just went up by a quid. It's not a lot, and it's mostly thanks to upstream costing, but come on. Don't fuck around with blatant lies.

I'd still go with Zen like. Can't beat user-configurable rDNS.

Can't say I've ever had an experience like this. Never had a bother with not getting the cut I want either. Is Collins half yank or something? This shite looks like the sort of thing an American attempting to ingratiate themselves would vomit out.

 

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?

Not hard to keep to the same policy we had in the 00's. Off or silent, and it doesn't come out in lessons. If it does, it goes in the teacher's desk, and they get it back half an hour after school ends. Job done.

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!

On opening a new tab or window with a lemmy instance, I frequently find that I am not intially logged in. I am logged in, and refreshing the page a few times affirms this. It does not necessarily require a cacheless refresh (ctrl+f5). It also occurs regardless of what lemmy instance I'm browsing.

This started immediately after the hackening event of the other day. I'll play with what's in site storage in firefox later on and see what happens.

Edit: Ok something very odd just happened. I did the refresh thing and it briefly showed me logged in as @andybug@lemmy.world, for reasons unknown. It didn't stay logged in as (s)he, but very briefly flashed it as such.

Edit2: I deleted cache, webtoken, and other detritus in firefox, and refreshed the page to login again. I logged in, and the site served me the logged-out homepage until I refreshed again. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Edit3: I was logged out completely this morning. No explanation as to why as yet, I'll test tomorrow and see what browser storage looks like

kbin.social seems to have a bit of bother when it comes to permitting other instances from accessing its activitypub feed. Unless I'm doing something wrong?

Sounds about right. When I was 16 I thought I was very cool when I got a (very) cheap vibrator out of a vending machine in a pub off Percy Street. Paid two quid for the privilege.
