yeah, screw that, I only get frustrated and/or angry. And even if I have the patience to eventually I beat it, it’s just not worth it.


I had Nova Pro back in the day and decided to give KISS a try. It’s a completely different philosophy but I ended up liking it and I’ve been using it for years now. I can’t imagine a faster launcher nowadays, it just gets out of your way.


It was already dead for a lot of users when they sold it to an analytics company in 2022.



LLMs fundamentally can’t answer this kind of question, so it’s an unfair test. They don’t see letters, they just see tokens.

It’s a bit like asking a random person on the street the square root of 75. Most will just guess on the spot.


I’ll paste a comment that illustrates it better than I could

Imagine this scenario - you’re a corporate with 1000 sites and maybe 5000 networking devices. You have a rolling replacement program for those devices as they become end of life, and as that progresses you reach a point where all of them can work with IPv6. So you switch off IPv4 and work only with IPv6.

Then your corporate acquires another entity, say consisting of 100 sites with 500 devices. All of those devices need checking that they can work on IPv6 and a significant number need replacing at maybe an average of £5000 per device. With IPv4 you can still integrate the legacy kit into your estate without swapping any of it out, with IPv6 only you can’t.

For an end user, a small startup, or similar sure go ahead and use IPv6, but there are significant obstacles for larger estates, which is one reason IPv4 isn’t going anywhere soon.


yeah, I don’t see the benefits of moving to ipv6 outweighing the costs


my expectations were really low for this one, but it still exceeded them


I’ve always done it on the app, no phone call or chat. But regardless, it’s not like it’s going to happen. I have my cc info (and throwaway cards like privacy.com) in several websites and nothing like this ever happened. All times I’ve requested a refund was due to the service/product not being what was promised, not due to a data leak. The convenience definitely beats the risk.


It’s a credit card, you can dispute charges and will likely get a refund.

I’ve done it a few times for different reasons.



Rockstar is well known for having trailers that are in-engine


wdym, all these things are on the left


can you spot the difference?

A: 0.1 /s

literally anything is worthy of an article for 9to5 google, holy shit


good, sometimes I need to quickly start a note, so I need to remember what to type while listening to the person talking; then Keep asks what kind of note I want - just open an empty note and my keyboard ffs


when i had to do it, they could only be exported to another google auth via QR code. I was forced to recreate the codes on every service.


Previously, you long-pressed on those six digits in the account list to copy to your clipboard.

With last week’s Google Authenticator update, a simple tap is how you copy those codes. (That being said, we’ve noticed that a long-press sometimes still works in version 7.0, but it’s inconsistent and the single tap is clearly the intended behavior.) A single touch is definitely simpler, but users have to adjust to this.

Google Auth and Authy lock you in, consider migrating to Aegis or Ente Auth.


fwiw the optical one in the Pixel 8 I use is pretty good and works better than the ultrasonic of my old Samsung, which was a disaster.


I briefly checked that the other day and it doesn’t seem to be the case. To my knowledge, the GNSS hardware will gather info on all available (supported + reachable) constellations to give the best location estimate.

There are ways to get raw measurements in some devices, but that’d be at the application level so I think it’s not what you’re looking for.


Physical connectivity comes courtesy from an RJ45 socket, a pair of USB-A ports, a sole USB-C connector, a microSD slot, and an HDMI connection

wasn’t expecting that


not sure it’s simpler, HeliBoard even has glide typing if you’re willing to install the closed source lib.

what features are missing from it?


I get the meaning of restricted, but I don’t think this makes sense here. My list of restricted apps has apps with small but non-zero data; so why is the list implying that restricted apps have no data used.


Exactly. A few months ago the headline was a patent of Roku hijacking HDMI to show ads.

I’ll save my energy to be pissed off when this garbage actually makes it to market.


Worth highlighting that Telegram in Russia and WhatsApp in Venezuela - both with vastly larger user bases than Signal - are not blocked…



Looking forward to the “Make all apps dark” setting



If you had the right query, yes. But getting there if you didn’t know the exact words in the website used to take a number of attempts and google-fu. By early 2010s this was vastly improved.


I think people forget how awful google pre ~2008 was. Not in terms of the bullshit they do nowadays, just in quality of results really.


I had Nova prime and reluctantly moved to KISS when this was announced in 2022. The lack of features was quite the change, but I’ve been using it since and wouldn’t go back. Searching and quick launching apps feels the fastest it can possibly be with KISS.


this entire quick actions shade was redesigned either for children or for elders

the space now used for 4 quick actions could fit 12 quick actions before


They could just make it a different app, but they know no one is downloading it, so they ruin the default app instead. Outstanding move.


how’s more white space going to make it more cluttered


I have a 4k and a 21:9 1440p display and I’m sure anyone who gives 5 seconds to think about it will agree the bottom panel is a total waste of space past the usual 1920px width - unless you have an absurd amount of widgets there.

So not only I agree with the gaps, but I have my panel centered to approx. a third of the display width and there’s still plenty of space to fit open windows there.

Full width panel is a legacy choice that just doesn’t make much sense with nowadays screens.


I just realized

BS = Bull… ehrm BlueSky


They could have opened themselves when twitter went downhill. They missed this opportunity window Threads took advantage of.


That’s why I used to always keep at least 2 apps installed and check prices in both of them a few times ahead of my schedule. I never saw a change in price this steep. Sometimes it’s a reasonable supply/demand dynamic, common during game days around here, but you can never trust them.



typical map advocate

what do you think the world will be like if every idiot gets a map?


I wasn’t aware of the purchase. I just switched to Fossify.
