I've stopped using Google Photos but haven't really found a suitable android app (or two separate ones) which can replace two main features:

1. One-click post-processing - I think Google called it something like "auto awesome", basically a single button which slightly tweaked brightness, contrast, and presumably a few other things to make snaps look a bit better
2. Automatic backup - I've tried proton drive but the app is a bit slow to load thumbnails, and critically it's a one-way copy so you have to manually re-delete everything from your phone

Any recommendations for apps which can replace these features? Doesn't have to be all-in-one, and FOSS is preferred!

I tried to launch a game from Heroic on the Deck for the first time in a month or so and it's loading for a few seconds and then exiting.

• Same from game mode or desktop
• Same for different proton versions
• Same for Epic, GOG, and Amazon games
• Same after reinstalling a game
• Other Steam and non-Steam games run fine

I've probably applied several updates since I last ran a game so no doubt a huge number of things have changed since the last good state. I can't see anyone else reporting similar issues so I know it's very optimistic from me, but does anyone have any suggestions? Even an idea of how to get some logs out would be useful!

Many in the Proton community have been asking for an update on the Proton Drive SDK — especially developers eager to help build new clients or to integrate Drive into their apps. Linux users will be happy to hear that this SDK is a step toward offering a client, something we know is highly anticipated. Today, we’re sharing an early preview of our SDK work.

Important: This SDK is a work in progress. It’s not ready for production use or third-party apps yet. We’re sharing it to give you a look at what we’re building and to get insights on how you could use it — not for you to start building with it just yet.

Has anyone actually successfully installed PostmarketOS on an old device recently? I've had a long struggle through trying to prepare a Nexus 7 (2012) and the result seems to be a dead device before I even got to actually installing PostmarketOS.

The rough steps I followed are listed here:

• Create backups
• Get SBK
• Build and prepare U-Boot
  • Actually flashing U-Boot seems to be where things went wrong
    • Running ./run_bootloader.sh -s T30 -t ./bct/grouper.bct -b ../re-crypt/repart-block.bin or ./run_bootloader.sh -s T30 -t ./bct/grouper.bct -b ../generated-wheelie-blobs/AndroidRoot/blob.bin from fusee-tools hung on waiting for bootloader to initialize
    • Running ./run_bootloader.sh -s T30 -t ./bct/grouper.bct -b ../u-boot/u-boot-dtb-tegra.bin failed like this
    • skipping that step and running ./utils/nvflash_v1.13.87205 --resume --rawdevicewrite 0 1024 ../re-crypt/repart-block.bin hung on [resume mode]
    • Consulting a different version of the docs and running ./wheelie --blob ./generated-wheelie-blobs/AndroidRoot/blob.bin seemed to work so I ran ./nvflash --resume --rawdevicewrite 0 1024 ./re-crypt/repart-block.bin which also seemed to work
    • I then powered off as instructed and the device has been completely unresponsive since

I've tried connecting to a charger, disconnecting and reconnecting the battery, and every combination of holding down buttons but it appears to be completely dead. Any suggestions as to what I did wrong or anything I might be able to do now? Obviously it's not the end of the world to have lost a 13 year old tablet that was just gathering dust, but at the moment I'm not feeling positive about ever trying this again on another device!

Some posts (e.g. this and this) do not load the images in Summit but load fine in the web ui. Summit gives this error:

stream was reset: PROTOCOL_ERROR

This post contains quite a lot of formatting. It looks fine in the web ui but Summit seems to mess it up (I think maybe it's trying to put it all under one of the >?)

Source and bonus panel

I looked at this post in Summit and it's just showing an image post, but when I view it in the web ui there's a linked article. Have I hidden it in some setting or is Summit not showing the link?

There's a video in the description of this post which Summit can't display, the Lemmy web ui doesn't load it either but apparently it loads in other clients

This triple-backticked comment loads in the Lemmy web ui but not in Summit, though weirdly it works fine on the original instance!
