Google takes over half the screen? Not the Twitter app? You can deregister apps as link handlers, by going to the app's info in settings and changing 'open by default'.

Those popups are Twitter's, I believe, yeah. It's REAL loving aggressive about making you an account.

I used to use Twitter via Flamingo, but once ol Muskrat killed 3rd party access to the API, I pretty much stopped using it at all. If I do use it, it's from my desktop.

I don't have the Twitter app installed. And I guess it's not half the screen, but it sure feels like it. Doubly so when it pops up at the exact instant I tap to dismiss Twitter's prompt to log in, it covers it up, and the big ol' Continue button happens to be right where I'm tapping:

nitter is objectively better because you can grab rss feeds out of it for the people you want to visit so you never need to visit that miserable site directly ever again.

Ok, I will hadn't heard about the RSS feed thing before. I poked around for a little bit at the nitter website and I see they say they have RSS feeds, but I can't figure out how to generate one. How's that work? Edit: found it. The RSS icon appears when you view an account.

Pretty sure one if the ublock origin optional annoyance filters will block those, and most other social media linking and cookie pop up poo poo

I use Fritter to handle Twitter links without needing an account, as it doesn't have the slowness / unreliability of Nitter frontends. It's gonna occasionally break when the APIs change, though.

I thought twitter effectively killed third party apps with their API token limits and so on?

they killed apps which used the official public API, but things like nitter use the private APIs that twitters web UI and official apps are built on

You can also grab rss feeds for specifically the media or tweets & replies feed by first selecting those before you hit the rss feed icon in the top right. I use this to limit to media feed only for the fanartists I follow.

Gmail doesn't give notifications for incoming mails with certain labels. Is there a different Mail client that's worth trying? Single payment is fine but I'm not looking for a subscription. It should also support outlook as I have an address there as well.

Is there an app/widget to quickly see the air quality in my area? I got an alert a couple of weeks ago from the fallout from the fires in Canada, then an icon in my Google weather widget for a couple of days, then nothing. Just been looking at random websites that are annoying to use on my phone. We've been mostly in the yellow "moderate" level, but hit the orange "unhealthy for sensitive groups" a few times. It's not as bad as others have dealt with, but I like to check it before heading out for a hard bike ride. And it would be important if I happened to be in that sensitive group.

WeatherUnderground and OneWeather both have air quality listed in the opening pages of their apps - just scroll a bit. I can't think of any widgets that do right now, but I know they used to exist. If your state mesonet has an app, they may have air quality listed front & center too.

Ah, I didn't think to look into the weather app. This made me check and the EPA has an app that is basically a mobile version of their website. I'll keep an eye on this, too. And try to get myself from refreshing every half hour, especially if I'm just sitting at work and not going outside, haha. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.saic.airnow

I just got a new phone and it runs android 10, my old phone was some other version of android and I had a barebones RSS podcast downloader called gPodcastDownloader. It didn't play audio files or have ads or do literally anything at all other than take in RSS URLs and let me download a bunch of audio files to play on my vlc player. I cannot find this on the app store anymore and I don't want to download a stupid bloated bullshit app with a bunch of garbage on it that makes my phone go slow, does anyone know a super barebones podcast downloader app I can use like that? e: aw gently caress it was right in front of my face, I found it lol. Please disregard this post.

It's a very simple and clean app, and lets you use notifications for air quality and has a specific alert for wildfire areas. It also has a nice map interface so you can see how close you might be to winds moving bad air to you.

My wife and I have a shared note in Google Keep for various reminders and such, but it seems that Keep doesn't send a notification when said note is updated. Is there a setting I'm missing, or should we use another app (and if so, which one)?

Does anyone know how to get the top notification to stop displaying every time I get a reminder in Tasks? I went to the notification settings for it but I'm not sure if stopping the "Reminders and Tasks" channel is the thing to do.

Kinda niche but if you have a NAS or server then audiobookshelf is kind of a Plex for audiobooks, works pretty well even for people who are not very tech savvy.

I actually recommend Chronicle for Audiobooks. It's just a front end that connects to your Plex server, but still pulls meta data from Plex itself, so you can have all your media in one location (obviously audiobooks should be in their own library)  Edit - I swapped to Chronicle rather than just using Plex's app because Chronicle has enhanced capabilities to save your location if the completely legal audiobook you have is one large file rather than chapters.

I use audiobookshelf as well and it works great. It has a good mobile client, can be saved as a PWA on desktop and it has cross-device sync, so you can pick up on another device where you left off on a different one.

Extremely basic which is fine enough for me. Kind of funny that it doesn't use id3 metadata to sort things but tells you to sort them yourself into folders. It does detect the chapters in this m4b which is nice though. No cover art etc. (vlc shows all that but doesn't handle books well. It does show the chapters.)

I do, does this work remotely assuming I'm not insane and don't expose plex to the internet? Is there an iphone client as well? My wife would benefit from it as well.
