There's gotta be a better way to deal with this... Maybe offer a way to backup data and then flash this update to get the best experience?

It's almost like Android tablets could have been more common, but Google's insistence on ignoring them for half a decade and denying them any recognition led to a long era of only iPads and Galaxy Tabs.

TL;DR

Instead of pressing the + button to open a new note, it now expands a list that includes types of notes, which you then have to press.

(I can't upload images here...)

Only took them a decade to realise that half the features they offer would be used more if they talked about them more often. Fucking dumbasses at Google, I swear.

If they showed Android Beam this much love, or advertised and asked for developer support of Honeycomb, we'd have people saying "beam it to me" instead of having to say "Quick Share it to me" like a fucking idiot.

Same for Lockscreen widgets, same for tablet support, same for literally every single thing they did to Android.

Dude's a solid journalist. His teardowns are insane.

TL;DR of the TL;DR

They removed bloatware.

Why didn't they do the same for the older model tho?

Samsung's Fab is astonishingly bad at making chips. A Tensor is just an Exynos cosplaying as a Google chip.

Oh dude I love it! I recently donated to Thunderbird. My first Open Source donation (apart from Wikipedia). Feels good. I generally contribute through testing, but once I start earning a good amount, I'm gonna do what you did...

I use Anilist to track my anime and manga. But haven't found anything that provides a similar experience in regular movie and TV show tracking, or even books.

For games, there's a service called Backloggd that uses the IGDb database. For movies, I have used Letterboxd but the Android app is garbage at best.

Haven't seen any on here yet... Would love it if someone could do this...

Based on personal experience.

Used Lunacy via the MS Store. It started getting sluggish so I asked the devs what to do and they recommended I use the website to procure the application...

I see the upside to winget now.

I recently found out that Android's kernel is VERY different from any Apple implementation. Never really crossed my mind that there are different types of kernels.

This made me wonder - if the microkernel is so much better, at the cost of being complicated to develop an OS for, would Android be better on microkernel?

Please enlighten me. I'm only trying to learn more.

Also, do interact, Lemmy needs good conversation.

A leak suggests the OnePlus Watch 2 will instead run on Wear OS 4.

Saved you a click.

I was updating my Samsung Magician software when this prompt came up... Is this for data collection? I'm gonna go out on a limb and say yes... i DO in fact live in a GDPR country.

This is just an example, but there really needs to be a way to make sure they post a proper changelog... Like, is there a limitation on characters? Can't we set up a way to import the release notes from Github? Why is it this way?

It's a big question. I know.

But given that we have the source code to Android (AOSP) and the community to collaborate with, couldn't we just create an entire ROM filled with the necessary applications and utilities, all open source, and with modern UI?

It'll take a shit load of time, and effort. Definitely. But maybe if we banded together? A unified OS running only open source software, with the option for Google Services via something like MicroG, so that we don't need to worry.

I'm no expert. I'm just floating an idea. But I'd love to know if this is possible, step-by-step...

Edit: I know custom ROMs are a thing. I use one. I'm just saying, what if we go ahead and make an open source ecosystem that runs under the same project, so that there's a set of services and apps that are free, open source and non-corporate.

Edit2: I forgot the Lineage project exists. Nevermind πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ. Let's just try to support it. πŸ™ŒπŸΌπŸ™ŒπŸΌπŸ™ŒπŸΌ

EDIT: THE ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED. APPARENTLY, ALL IT TOOK WAS FOR ME TO RELOGIN TO THE INSTANCES. SED LYF INDEED.

I'm logged into 3 instances, the fossware instance, the lemdroid instance and lemmy.world. But anytime I try to vote or comment on a lemmy.world post, it shows me the "Not Logged In" toast notification.

And for lemdroid, it just does nothing...

Any solution?
