Holy shit, Math Blaster 9-12. You just threw me back SO far. I just had a vivid image in my mind’s eye of the home office I played it in.

Thank you for the throwback.

Clever…

1.12 is a long way off from a full release

Looking at the size of previous updates, there’s only ~5 more lines of code to write!

It’s entirely possible they used Stable Diffusion locally, which means anything goes as long as it’s legal and is not harmful to any individuals.

Changing the UI elements isn’t the reason why Android exists. The purpose of a phone’s OS is to act like a phone. Both Android and iOS do this perfectly well. If they didn’t, nobody would use them. Everything else they can do is just a nice bonus.

Don’t get me wrong, I much prefer Android because of those features (plus I hate walled gardens), but I think your usage of the word “purpose” might be a bit of a stretch here.

What? Cars and trucks are built for different purposes. Do you think Android phones and iPhones are built for different purposes?

They’re not really that different. They both have apps which you open and use to do different things. In a car that would likely be to communicate with people, listen to music, or to navigate.

Deletion on many online services is “soft”. Which is, exactly as you say, just hiding it and preventing it from contributing to various counts/statistics.

I imagine it’s named like that because “hide” implies “hide from myself only” (like hiding a dialog box), whereas delete implies something more permanent.
Also, when a user wants to get rid of something the first word they’ll look for tends to be “delete”, so why make it harder for them to find that button by naming it something unconventional like “hide from all”? Even if it’s technically more accurate, users just don’t care.

I also imagine some services keep some things for legal reasons, even after “deletion”.

I don’t appear to have any semblance of Android Auto on my phone, so I’d assume it’s safe. But still take a backup, just in case.

Surely that would become inconvenient at a certain point. Do you constantly plug your device into a 4K TV to get the most screen real estate?

Sync (and Boost) have Lemmy-compatible versions in development right now. Sync for Lemmy might even be out already, I haven’t checked yet.

I thought Rubén said he was going to move onto smaller apps instead of making a Lemmy app?

Regardless, I’m glad this is happening!
