You seem to know what you need but if you decide to try it again, you can set favorite tags. Clicking a favorite tag will put all the icons to the top.

But yeah I can understand why it’s not for everyone. The widgets only allow for full width so customization is limited. Tags and the search bar will limit muscle memory. I can probably open my most used apps blindfolded in Lawnchair or Nova. I can’y do that with this launcher. I see your point.

Kvaesitso takes a little to get used to. It is not like a traditional launcher and is no where near as customizable as Nova but I still really like it.

If you don’t like having a ton of icons, only use a limited number of widgets, you like to use a search bar, and you don’t like shoving things in the app screen in to folders, I suggest giving it a try.

The home screen only allows one row of icons. You have a set of icons as your favorites in the app screen. You can use tags, rather than folders, to organize icons.

It is different but it is very polished.

I have no data to back this up but I think most Lemmy Android users don’t use custom ROMs or root their phones.

Patria can be translated to motherland, fatherland, or native land but the word for father in Latin is pater. So looking at the word, fatherland is not incorrect.

Land in Latin is usually feminine unless it has to do with ownership.

These changes are a good thing.

Requiring a pin means no one can use your fingerprint or your face to unlock your device.

An NSA agent recommended restarting your phone every week. This can potentially clear out malware that doesn’t have permissions to start after a reboot.

I know it’s a lot of hard work but I hope a group of people pick this project up.

R.I.P. DivertOS.

If you don’t care about the newest Android features, it doesn’t matter much.

As for security, this is just my habit, but I don’t trust my banking apps on phones that don’t have the latest security update. I also won’t put anything important in it like work stuff.

I have older phones and they work fine without updates. I still use my stock Pixel 2, which is 7 years old and didn’t have updates for 4 years, for browsing and gaming.

I also forgot:

• Motion smoothness (60 Hz, 120 Hz)

I’m sure there are more I’m forgetting.

If you have any questions about Modes and Routines that you can’t find the answer to online, let me know. I’ll test it out on my S24+.

Black Friday and the Holiday season is coming up. You might be able to get as s24 for a little bit more but this does take patience.

The upgrade for the s23 to the s24 isn’t really that great hardware wise but if OS updates and security updates matter to you, the s23’s security updates stops in 3 years while the s24 stops in 6 years. Note, the phone will still work after that time but it just won’t get updates anymore. To me that’s worth an extra couple hundred bucks. I don’t like switching phones.

Both phones have extra dim. They also both have a bunch of other visual features too. I’ll list them out:

• Extra dim
• High contrast fonts
• Color inversion
• Color filter
• Color correction
• Adaptive brightness
• Dark or light mode
• Eye comfort shield
• Adaptive color tone
• Natural and Vivid screen modes
• Adjustable font size and style
• Screen resolution (1560x720, 2340x1080, 3120x1440)

On top of these, you can set Modes and Routines if you want to have a different set of settings so you don’t have to fumble through all the setting again. Like let’s say you want Light mode, change the brightness, screen resolution and change the font size. You can set that to one custom Mode.

Just to let you know, video works for me on desktop Firefox. Thank you for posting.

Intel is about 5 times the size of Qualcomm in terms of equity.

i found this article:

Intel’s shares closed up 3.3%, while Qualcomm fell 2.9%. Qualcomm, with a market capitalization of $188 billion, is worth about twice as much as Intel.

So based on Intel’s shitty stock price, Qualcomm can buy a good chunk of Intel which is enough for voting power I guess. Someone please correct me or add insight to this.

I didn’t even consider that. Thank you for the info.

Interesting. Thanks for the info especially about the quality of their phones. I found info about the company but not much about real world use of their products. Appreciate it.

Okay Nigeria, what the hell is Tecno? How is it beating every manufacturer on the planet in your country?

It is thought to be the the first time a UK mobile operator has offered such advice.

I reread the article but missed it the first time. It is a UK mobile operator. Reading it without an intro on the subject was frustrating.

FreeBSD.

I no longer use it but the FreeBSD Handbook is one of the most important books in my life. It got me away from Windows, and pointed me towards open source.

Doing everything in CLI environment made me think about computers and the history of computers differently. It helped me learning Apple OS X and Linux.

I think making Android iOS would increase their profit.

I think the opposite. If this happens either people would jump to iPhone or third parties that allow sideloading. The privacy crowd would start a new Android branch or just make Linux phones more popular.

Dude. I just want to learn how to clean a certain firearm. I already took a gun safety class.

I think the reason why some people see it and others don’t is because screens have variances and are not calibrated properly. This happens even in the same batch of a phone release.

I saw the gradient but I barely saw it on my Pixel 5a. I could’ve easily missed.

I see it. At least we know it’s a software issue at least.

Let’s try to narrow down the issue. Did you try a different launcher?

Edit: Nevermind. Reading your other comments, it looks like it is the launcher.

Does the screenshot show the hue?

I’m going to hope for the best and assume this has nothing to do with their browser. Mozilla has a lot of other products.

I don’t need a new laptop but when I do need one, I’m definitely going with Framework.

The mechanical keyboard community was working on an ortholinear keyboard module. Having every dimension in digital form would make fitting the keyboard a lot easier with less wasted materials for prototyping.

When is this shit pulled by Samsung and now Google considered stealing?

I think you replied to the wrong comment. If you didn’t please clarify so I can better answer your question.

Being able to upgrade the those things is such a killer feature for me. My next laptop will probably from Framework. Thanks for the info!

I thought module just meant expansion cards. Oops.

Thanks for the info!

That is awesome. This seperates them from the easy to fix laptops. I don’t know of many modern laptops where upgrading a processor is even possible.

Thanks!

As always, you can pick up any of the new modules in the Framework Marketplace to upgrade and extend the life of the Framework Laptop you already own.

When they say modules, does that mean mainboards? Like I can take an older Framework Laptop 13 and upgrade the processor?

I know you are a bot but this is question is for anyone interested.

Should I be using Piped or Invidious or it doesn’t really matter?

Note, I value privacy over performance.

Not the same company but Andrew Ethan Zeng on Youtube tested the XREAL Air AR Glasses. He was able to connect the glasses directly to his phone and his Macbook. Note, they did sponsor the video and reviews aren’t exactly great. His video is really informative though.

Thank you for this.

I don’t want you to do more work than you have to but it makes me wonder the difference in SOT between Stock Android with Adaptive Battery on versus Stock Android with Adaptive Battery off. I wonder how that would look against your findings against GrapheneOS.

Telling people to return to the office is gives them an excuse to fire people for not listening to directions.

For Windows, considering how much data is sent back to Microsoft, using Windows contributes in it’s own way.

Overture says they are providing data. What ever is contributed to OSM is up to the OSMF, not Overture.

This does use OpenStreetMap. It adds other public data from other sources.

Out of the four layers Overture Maps provides, th ey use OpenStreetMap for the Transportation and Building layers.

Accenture and Google’s relationship has changed throughout the years. They are partners in cloud services. I’m not sure what their role is in other divisions though.

“We had exercised our right to organize as members of the Alphabet Workers Union-CWA in order to bring both Google and Accenture, a Google subcontractor, to the bargaining table to negotiate on several key demands, including layoff protections.”

Google only started accepting contractors and recruiters because they were expanding before the pandemic. They probably wanted to get rid of both of those anyway.

They will show through internal communication that this was planned all along. Any retaliation protection this union thought they had doesn’t exist.

Completely right. This is an education issue.

There are several other issues how these two handled this situation.

Court and police records show that police began investigating 17-year-old Celeste Burgess and her mother Jessica Burgess after receiving a tip-off that the pair had illegally buried a stillborn child given birth to prematurely by Celeste.

Don’t discuss this or involve anyone else.

The two women told detective Ben McBride of the Norfolk, Nebraska Police Division that they’d discussed the matter on Facebook Messenger, which prompted the state to issue Meta with a search warrant for their chat history and data including log-in timestamps and photos.

Why are they even talking to police? Lawyer up, even if the lawyer is free.

(E2EE is available in Messenger but has to be toggled on manually. It’s on by default in WhatsApp.)

Facebook messenger and text message is the absolute worse way to discuss things like this. They should’ve at least turned on E2EE but they already admitted fault and their devices would’ve been taken away anyway.

They seem like they together. They should’ve just discussed this in person.

They also use Microsoft Windows. Quick India, ban Windows!
