Librera in portrait (flipped) (lemmy.ml)
 

Nerd help with Librera.

I use Librera to read on my phone, and it would be nice to have the screen in portrait mode, with the screen upside down, to read while charging the phone.

I found the option in the configuration menu, but it just doesn't seem to work on my Samsung Galaxy A36 phone...

I've tried restarting the app, and turning the screen rotation on the phone, but nothing seems to work.

All the other options (landscape and landscape flipped) works just fine. Even the "auto" mode work fine, changing in between all the other options but the one 8 want (portrait flipped)...

Not sure if this is a problem with the app or is some kind d of restriction with the phone.

I thought the same at first, but comparing to the map scale, I think that would mean the ship is crazy giant (like slightly bigger than the small loops in the track). If you compare that to the islands, it would mean the ship is bigger than many islands.

Also, it would mean the ship is travelling slower than the man can run, which is possible, but not probable...

I'm not sure why it's zigzagging, but I would bet it's something else...

    In Brazil we just put our white problem guy in jail, probably for the rest of his life. Hope that becomes an example for the rest of the world.

    So, Magnitsky law, and SWIFT blockades are for nothing? Just because it's not explicit on the website, it doesn't mean it's not doing it behind the scenes. That's how economy works... If I buy something from China, my money goes there by SWIFT transactions, which is controlled by US.

    "The world of mousing around and typing will feel as alien as it does to Gen-Z to use MS-DOS." Really? How it would work? (www.windowscentral.com)
     

    MS is insisting on AI pcs, and saying that mousing and keyboarding will be substituted to chatting to the PC.

    I can't help to wonder how will it work on a company, like the one where I work, where you have 30+ people working in the same room with their PCs. It will be madness if every one started talking instead of typing...

    Even when do home-office, and sit in the same table as my wife to work. It would be very anoying if both of us where talking nonstop with our computers...

    Starlink dish under solar panel (lemmy.ml)

    I see a lot of flat mounts where people put a protective acrilic or glass over the dish, or even mount it inside cars under a glass roof. So Im wondering if it would work if I mount it under a solar panel. Solar panels are essentially a thin glass where the diods are assembled. Will those diods interfere with the antena in any way?

    Alternative to Brave (lemmy.ml)
     

    Would someone please recommend me another chromium based open source browser with fingerprint and crosswebsite cookies and tracking protection, in which I could install uBO, that works on PC and Android (and syncs between), that can make webapps, and it's not maintained by 1 or 2 guys? I would happilly switch from brave to get rid of the bloat!
