Is a tablet that doubles as a USB-C second laptop display a (FOSS) thing? (lemmy.world)

Really only interested in something like Graphene, Lineage, or a Linux mobile tablet that can work with a typical Linux distro and display over USB-C. It is just a casual conversational ask. Maybe one of y'all has tried or knows the answer. I won't use anything that runs google stuff or is a pain to load a custom ROM.

Doesn't work in the app so well. Additionally, there's no read history, so if you click away from a post and close the app without commenting or voting, and have posts marked read hidden automatically, it's gone forever

Yeah that's definitely a problem. It's actually part of why I stopped using a Reddit app and just used old.reddit.com on my phone, back in the day. But my experience is that lemmy-ui is not as nice to use on mobile. I do occasionally use the "copy permalink" option from the app, and then paste that into my browser. But that's inconvenient enough that I only quite rarely do it.

Wait, are you implying that you can get notifications of comments in someone else's Reddit post? How?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Uh, no, not notifications. You can open a post in a tab and come back to it a day or two...or 60...later. That's a feature that apps don't give you, only the browser. Which is why I mentioned I stopped using apps.

You can sort of do that through the starring system. At least, Thunder lets you star posts and comments for later. However, if you use it also as a way to track favorite submissions, then they'll get intermixed.

Reddit also has post-saving, which I think was implemented around 6 years ago or so (I've been on there for a while lol).
