Deftdrummer,

It’s a hobby for some people.

Deftdrummer,

Google keep works fine for me.

Deftdrummer,

Can someone lay this to rest for me? What is FOSS? I think I get in some capacity that it’s Lemmy… but?

Deftdrummer,

Thanks for that info!

Deftdrummer,

Thanks!

Deftdrummer,

I think “myself” is the word you’re looking for.

Deftdrummer,

All good!

Smuggled Promotional Notifications: Will Google do anything to stop app authors from doing this?

A couple of times I’ve been presented with notifications from commercial apps downloaded from the Play store that are very clearly promotional material. Thankfully, Android allows me to block particular notification channels if I swipe the notification lightly and hit the gear icon. I can disable the particular “Promotion”...

Deftdrummer,

Notifications of all types are getting seriously out of hand again. Some apps (looking at you Whatsapp 🤨) have “preferred notifications” turned on by default effectively bypassing DND.

I’m seriously about to nuke ALL notifications on my phone except for my bank, significant other, and my boss.

Deftdrummer,

Thanks, purchased instantly to try it out.

Geddit is the shit for lurkers

As a 12 yr Reddit lurker, Geddit fits all my needs. It sidesteps the api using rss feeds and other technical stuff I don’t know about. You can view posts and comments. Favorite subreddits. But can’t post/comment/vote. I’m trying my hand at engaging more on lemmy, but for more content, Geddit is perfect for me....

Deftdrummer,

And here you are posting… I’m not sure I can handle the irony! 😁

Deftdrummer,

You guys were all taking how you’d pay the developer twice for his work if possible, and how everyone should purchase the Pro version without question on day one etc.

Maybe it wasn’t you sucking the dev off sideways for weeks straight - but the community at large is and has been.

I mean, I like the app and all, but the price is steep. Steeper than it was for reddit and steeper than all the other apps as well.

As far as I know it’s the only one with a subscription model, and we don’t even have the “sync” feature that is its namesake.

Deftdrummer,

I use the nav bar. Never got used to gestures and don’t need them.

Deftdrummer,

Yes same for me on my Chromebook. Like… no

Deftdrummer,

Yes thanks I misspoke.

Deftdrummer,

Yes, you mean it’s not visible? I see it when I search.

Deftdrummer,

I use Google Chromecast with remote so I don’t fuck with Roku’s smart TV software anymore.

Deftdrummer,

Don’t think quite a decade, but definitely the better half of one.

Deftdrummer,

There is no “lemon balm incident” that even bears worth putting on the Internet after a quick google search. You’re talking out your ass so can it.

Deftdrummer,

I thought that once too but that would be naive to the fact that how people take photos eg; trends are what shape the direction of camera hardware and software development.

In other words, don’t hold your breath - wait for the next ticktock trend.

Google ordered to pay $339M for stealing the very idea of Chromecast (www.androidauthority.com)

Chromecast has been one of those smaller hardware products that have brought about a meaningful experience upgrade. The first Chromecast solved the pain point of clunky TV software interfaces, making it easier to locate content on your handy smartphone and then play it on your big-screen TV. However, a Court in the US has ruled...

Deftdrummer,

The Chromecast still requires an Internet connection though so it’s not truly a device to display unless you’re mirroring.

Deftdrummer,

Still no full image backup al la Apple. Any word on when we’re getting this?

Deftdrummer,

Jesus, anything to make the clutter of google maps go away is a blessing. I’ve about had it with google maps.

“In a quarter of a mile turn right.” ::Quarter of a mile later -“turn right!” at the last possible second.

Deftdrummer,

Precisely, and then when I switch to Waze it does the same shit. No surprise as they’re owned by Google.

Typical google nonsense 4 different products for the same thing none of which do it well.

Deftdrummer,

Yeah, it will send you down some fucking residential area with 50 stop signs to “save” 2 minutes but it ends up being more hassle than it’s worth. I can’t be the only one.

Deftdrummer,

Think of them like email servers. There are many, they all can talk to each other, and the tech is not new.

Deftdrummer,

lol. “all men bad, powerful woman can do anything and doesn’t need help” - story falls flat because the lead isn’t vulnerable and too strong to ask for help. 🤮

Deftdrummer,

I’ve seen what makes you cheer.

How do I look for phones that run cool?

I’ve had a Pixel 4a for ~3 years at this point. I had to replace it some time last year because I had lost my original in a lake. T-Mobile gave me whichever lower-end Pixel there was at the time and I immediately gave it back because of the offputting amount of warmth it produced doing very little. When the time does come to...

Deftdrummer,

Unfortunately generally the “slower” chip sets also run cooler so many flagships will have heating issues to contend with depending on ambient temperature.

I hate my P6 Pro for that reason, and will be doing the same as OP and avoiding any poorly heat throttling phones in the future.

I’m tired of having my videos shut off mid shoot because of heating issues, or issues while using GPS on the motorcycle.

Deftdrummer,

So cool to see you on here!

Deftdrummer,

Tell us you don’t understand the supreme courts abortion decision without telling us …

Deftdrummer,

The leftist echo chambers of Lemmy are seriously disheartening.

Deftdrummer,

Cause they share that cost, and have the most eyeballs. Far and away.

Deftdrummer,

Right now it’s somewhat of a neutral ground with heavy commie and leftist leanings. I’d like to keep politics out of subs that aren’t related to politics but I ain’t holding my breath.

Deftdrummer,

Yeah and Google just announced they’re raising the price on their YouTube premium subscription. I’m going to cancel all of this shit I swear.

Deftdrummer,

This. Lemmy seriously needs a way to search all instances or drastically cut down on the instance confusion somehow.

Deftdrummer,

Until some app or instance or web link or whatever the fuck gets this right - critical mass does not occur.
