No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Do you cave and use both hands? Do you take the chance and try to use them one-handed when more actively using them? Or do you ultimately submit and get an accessory to kinda help, at least with keeping a hold of them?

Edit:

a few other answers:just use both hands, get an accessory, and/or balance on pinky and develop the toughest pinky imaginable
spoiler bonus: find some smol phone you like and savor it for as long as it works :::

S22+

I can drag my thumb down anywhere on my home screen to bring down the notifications. Then notifications are in bottom 2/3 of screen.

There is hardly a reason I need to reach the top 1/3 of my phone

Something like typing in a URL in a web browser

But that small inconvenience where I have to shift my hand isn't worth me losing a big screen

I can still do everything one handed

Some of these features aren't on my model, the Galaxy A32.

Settings, Display, Home Screen, Swipe Down for Notification Panel

I would have thought every Samsung device had it

Try searching for "Swipe Down for Notification Panel"

[–] Resol@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

No no, I meant that swiping down from anywhere on the screen to bring the notifications isn't available on my model; only swiping down from the top edge works

[–] Sludgeyy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

According to the A32 5g user manual it is possible to turn on the feature.

Type in your settings search bar "Swipe down for Notification Panel"

There should be a setting to turn on

On an A32 4G if I'm on homescreen I can swipe down anywhere to open notifications drawer.

If I'm in an app though yeah, it's top or nothing

[–] Resol@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I tried this, it just opens the "All Apps" menu despite having a dedicated button to do that enabled.

[–] AlgeriaWorblebot@lemmy.nz 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I get that when I swipe up, but not down. Maybe it's a different launcher thing. I'm using Lawnchair.

[–] Resol@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I prefer keeping the default launcher.
