The experience is smooth, the software is well optimized for the hardware, but if you’re looking for the top specs and are a big mobile gamer, I don’t think you’d be happy.
For me, I don’t game at all on my phone, so it’s perfect for me. I love the user experience, the helpful AI features, and the photos Pixel’s take. I picked up the 8 Pro and it feels a lot more refined and uncompromising in almost all the ways.
RCS is just a standard, much like how SMS is just a standard. Google’s Messaging app is just one implementation of it, though it probably is the most popular in the US it is not the only one, nor is Google able to decide who cannot use it. Carriers typically have their own, though you may have recently heard that T-Mobile decided to switch over to Google’s.
Ahsoka v Morgan round 2 was sick. I hope Ahsoka keeps the sword of Talzin and doubles down on the ronin vibe.
Pyenv! Let the OS have its own version and work on whatever version you want, whenever.
IIRC you also hear about Gortash from Councilor Florrick in the Last Light Inn. She says she’s going to ask him for help against Ketheric.
I also remember reading about Gortash and Orin while rummaging through Ketheric’s things in Moonrise. They definitely were not featured prominently but they were hinted at if you go looking!
Those Night Troopers look so cool. If I’m not mistaken, there are heavy Japanese influences, their armor wrapped in red cloth and mended with gold, a practice called kintsugi the Japanese use with broken pottery.
I thought it was a post-Vader Anakin. His lesson to Ahsoka, in my eyes, was that his life, her life, as soldiers led them to a “fight or die” mentality, though maybe “kill or die” is a better way to put it. That’s what drove him to the dark side. Only by the end of his life, as he learns from Luke, there is another option.
“You’re never too old to learn” isn’t just in reference to Ahsoka’s age, but in reference to this last lesson he learns from his son, that he now passes onto her.
You’re the best!!
Viewing a user profile should have the option to see “posts/comments” together, and should default to it, just like Sync for Reddit. Thanks for all your hard work!
Sync for Lemmy has keyword filtering:
Probably an unpopular opinion on here, but the OS I recommend for grandparents and parents is ChromeOS. It’s so locked down that it’s almost indestructible, and they almost never need any specialized software that you’d use Windows/MacOS for. If you’re savvy enough you can also use Linux on it in a container, which is how I prefer to use it for day to day stuff (in my case, data related workflows).
It’s such a little thing, but linking directly to a system setting is so cool to me. For those wondering how to do it, you can long press on a setting and it’ll copy the link into your clipboard, already formatted to easily paste somewhere.
Not defending tracking or anything, but you do not get trackers if you pay. This tracker is just for ads, which you don’t get if you pay.
Still available! You can find them at: Settings->Post options->Swipe actions
Personally I keep upvote/downvote as the first two swipe actions, third as the save post.
Edit: pro-tip I just found after seeing someone else do it: long press on a setting in sync will copy a link to that setting. And you can paste it in a comment as such:
Framework is doing some very cool stuff if you haven’t heard of them! Their upcoming 16 inch laptop will support modular, upgradeable graphics cards.
I picked up the 8pro. The fingerprint reader is fine, maybe marginally improved over the 7pro. It’s nowhere near the ultrasonic fingerprint readers. But, it now has Class 3 secure face unlock, which is good enough for banking and other apps, and combined with the fingerprint reader, it’s pretty quick to unlock.
