That looks like an imax release, maybe the top/bottom black bars are on the Blu-ray it was ripped from to make it fit 16:9? Since it's a remux they shouldn't have touched it to remove the bars.

It's not just about the color of the bubble. If you go on an outing with a group of iPhone users, there's a high chance they'll create a group chat with and without you, because the group chat with you won't let them send HQ photos. Even if they aren't trying to be exclusionary, someone will inevitably forget to send messages to both group chats. iMessage incentivizes situations like this which socially punishes Android users.

If you have good home upload and want to host at home, a simple reverse proxy on the vps provider of your choice does the trick. I host for a large group of friends and family and it all proxies through haproxy running on digitalocean.

Last time it stopped working for me I just needed to update revanced manager, make sure the patches were updated on the main screen, and re patch the recommended APK version which had increased. They've done a pretty good job at keeping up

I am both of these

I do use jellyfin, I run it side by side with Plex on the same Intel nuc with quick sync - both with the exact same media folders added - and I let my friends choose. I don't think a single one of them prefer jellyfin unfortunately.

A dht crawler is inherently an intensive service to run, magnetico used sqlite and would take 10 minutes just to load the splash page that includes the total count of discovered torrents.

Roborock or robovac, would be nice to keep up to date on new products and share troubleshooting info with other robovac owners / shoppers, but building that community here isn't a task I'm up to.

I do the same in opnsense. According to dnsperfbench, running my own resolver benchmarked as slightly faster or at minimum about the same performance as using any of the big public resolvers. I think the only concern is to make sure you're not using your local resolver if you're trying to use a VPN.

Imagine calling the holder of a masters degree in climate science an "influencer"

I find the connect UI to be really similar to Sync. They both group the vote buttons on posts, unlike all the alternatives, which reduces visual clutter and the icons and layout seem well designed in terms of icon and text size and margins looking symmetric (looks less like a backend dev just threw all the buttons vaguely where they're supposed to go).

One thing connect seems to do better is that collapsing a comment collapses the comment itself and not just the replies (makes it easier to move down a thread by collapsing each root comment). On the other hand, the tap target for re-expanding the comment seems to not extend the whole width of the collapsed comment.

I'm in a similar boat to wanting the reddit app but cleaner and not buggy. So connect and sync are my top 2 right now. I didn't mind the reddit app UI it was just so buggy and laggy.

I love FOSS but I got pretty used to the official reddit app, and Sync is the only app that feels like if the reddit app wasn't buggy and laggy. The paid aspect doesn't bother me because I would have donated to whatever app I use anyway, at $5/mo the $20 one time ad removal option makes sense if I use it for more than 4 months so it's worth it to me.
