I thought Nova was going the way of dinosaurs (i.e. there’s only one developer left to support it).

Edit to add: Unlikely that Google will do anything about it. What will users do - switch to iOS? Also, is it completely in Google’s hands, since stock launchers on third party devices such as OnePlus, Samsung, et al continue to work quite well.

Either it will get incredibly better, or it will just fade out (except in some applications like execution of process based work, and possibly in the creative arts).

There’s also an option to transfer your chats to another device without backing up to Google drive, but it obviously works only as a transfer tool not as a backup.

Digital - easier to carry and to handle while reading. Plus u can read on a phone/laptop in dark environments as well. However for reading on a plane, where I’m sitting in one place, I somehow prefer physical books as they’re less painful than looking at a lit up screen for extended periods of time.

I love your way of describing it, more than anything else!

That’s why I used to maintain a blog (a secret one, whose address no one knew). Till the day I realised there’s too much there which I don’t want to be able to go through, and deleted the blog in a snap.

This is the technically correct answer. My good person, you have, very clearly, been thinking a lot about this! Well explained!!

Edit to add: reversing in gives you a much better angle than pulling in because it’s your front wheels which are doing all the steering work.

And the best part is that settings backed up from sync for reddit, can be simply restored into sync for lemmy. Thank you ever so much dear developer!!!

And there are devices which have a non removable but still no waterproofing.

If the reason for non removable batteries was to make phones waterproof…

Yup, and most regular users end up using phones for stuff which even a 4 or 5 year old phone would suffice. Except for the battery which keeps on degrading over the years.

I’m just a little cautious, because easily replaceable batteries will further dent phone sales in general, there could potentially be a marked increase in phone prices once this regulation comes into effect.

That’s right. There’s been a downward trend with the quality of content, especially on the tech front. What’s seemingly unaffected are location-based subs.

UIs have started to hide the actual details

This is what it’s really about. There’s no need to understand the nuts and bolts because now the software obfuscates all of that.

Hi, I think that’s the point the author tried to make. Although, because of the publication date, I’m guessing they’re talking more about Twitter than about Reddit.

After seeing the comments above, I was about to say precisely this. Getting the data protection authority involved is the most sensible way.

Hi. I’ve heard quite a few people do this but never managed to ask why. So, taking the opportunity to ask.

What I mean is, if the large part of the phone is about the software experience and software optimisation (and the hardware in itself is nowhere near cutting edge) what’s the upside of installing a non-google OS on it?

Perhaps I’ll try it someday. For today, just curious. If you could shed some light on it. Thank you!

Thank you very much!

Seems a bit roundabout to access it like that but I guess that’s a downside of the federated structure shrugs

Nonetheless, thanks for clarifying this, much helpful!

Hi and thank you for putting this together!

When I’m searching for Lemmy posts from the browser, if I’m taken to a post on a different server, do I need to register/login on that server to be able to comment?

Or can I open that post on Jerboa, logged in from my account, to comment?
