Could be that both taillights / brake lights were out. Seems super unlikely, but I have seen someone driving on the highway with both taillights burnt out, headlights on.
Probably hard to realize they’re out until someone lets you know / pulls you over.
Thats a weird way to say the industry’s been releasing shitty games.
I do exactly this for downloading music, I aliased my preferred options to ‘yt-audio’
I think any math teacher who sees you tattooed a formula on yourself and doesn’t let you look at it is an absolute dickhead. (Assuming the dickhead won’t allow formula sheets)
And the hardware is great IMO. Pixel 6 was my first Pixel after only buying iPhones, and I swear the thing survives so much abuse. (Although I heard the 6 in particular had many issues, I love mine)
Seems to me (and that doesn’t mean much) to be the most secure / well updated option. GrapheneOS on a Pixel runs GREAT for me, I honestly expected a buggy experience from a custom ROM.
Also, my grandmother could install it (this was especially enticing, I was worried about having to flash an OS, didn’t want to brick a phone).
You get a lot of flexibility when it comes to installing Google Play Services. What I do is install any app that needs gplay services to a separate user profile with them installed.
I honestly don’t have any cons, I’m completely satisfied with it, I can’t see myself switching back to an iOS device or trying stock Android.
I can think of two cons, although they don’t bother me (not sure if this applies to every ROM available):
You miss out on some features / apps that come with stock android, such as AI features.
AOSP apps are installed out of the box, but aren’t wonderful for day-to-day use IMO. I recommend Fossify and You Apps
Pixel with GrapheneOS for me.
My bad, v tired when I replied. That is an interesting feature the only similar solution I can think of is using something like Fossify Dialer (a fork of the now ad-ridden and proprietary Simple Dialer) and use T9 dialing. That could achieve a similar speed / memorization as a gesture.
You could definitely get good enough at T9 to at least call people without looking at the screen.
Just tried it and really enjoyed, but the contact sources just don’t seem to work? Two options, one from sms and one from com.android.contacts, and neither are correct (missing / duplicate contacts). Confused as to why the dialer can’t just pull from my contacts like every other dialer, or I’d probably switch!
I use fossify dialer, not familiar with Drupe, but works well for me.
Emacs find-file with vertico and orderless achieve this nicely.
Image Toolbox + Aves Libre is my current setup.
I love Fedora Sircea, however NixOS seems like a better solution (albeit with a larger learning-curve.)
EDIT: Just looked it up, I guess it was renamed “Sway Atomic”, and iirc they’ve also released a Budgie Atomic version with Fedora 40!
GrapheneOS’s guided installation is simple enough anyone should be able to install it IMO.
Best foss maps app imo.
I love Thumb Key, it’s a very unique and actively developed keyboard app.
Monero -> Hamas
This probably isn’t a helpful response, but for me, once something is inevitable I don’t see a point in getting upset, so I don’t. For instance I’ the dogs tracv dirt through the house, I’d definitely be a bit annoyed that I have to clean it up, but actually letting it get to me would only serve to make my night worse.
I use LaTeX, and edit using Emacs. The nice thing about LaTeX is the editor you use doesn’t matter.
It isn’t tough at all, and anyone who says the concept is can’t wrap their mind around it is either a Luddite or is willfully dismissive.
