@kainisenni I never really bothered with LineageOS, I swapped from CyanogenMod to Resurrection Remix instead when CM scuttled itself with dreams of printing its own money.

RR had loads of weird features like On-The-Go mode, a 50% transparent camera overlay so you didn't have to take your eyes off your phone while walking lol

@kainisenni
Oof, advertising dark patterns in full swing!

I've used Android since 1.5 Cupcake, and even back then I was trying to root the device to remove bloatware and bullshit restrictions. I don't think I could survive using an iPhone.

The dream would be something like a PinePhone as an actual competitor, but a Linux phone with banking apps, HD Netflix and a functioning camera still seem a decade off.

@kainisenni ...but have you decided if you like them yet?

@billiglarper I don't think I've really seen anything negative towards the game itself, or much directed towards Arrowhead as a studio - mainly just complaints against Sony for rolling out these account requirements to pad their numbers, like you said.

Normally when these review-bombs occur there is a valid reason for the upset, but that upset always attracts the people that just want to see the world burn, who show up and loudly shite on everything.

@killyourfm I haven't played it yet, but I did see there's a huge backlash at the moment over #Helldivers2 suddenly requiring a PlayStation account to continue playing it on PC, which seems pretty shady on Sony's part.

ugh... I want to play some Rocksmith but don't want to deal with the silverblue/proton/wineasio/rs-asio clusterfuck of tinkering that would require.

Accidental phone upgrade incoming... my Pixel 6a fell out of my hoodie pocket and the screen completely shattered 😢

@gnomelibre I think the new logo looks much cleaner personally, and I never understood why it had a thick white margin around it. 🤷♂️

What do you prefer about the old one?

Been having weird window freezes since updating to Bluefin-dx-nvidia 40, not sure if its update related or simply my GTX 1080 signaling an impending demise ☠️

@didier The new black keycaps look so clean and timeless! 🤩

A slightly different layout between the sets?

Grey keycaps:
2 "
3 £
# @

Black keycaps:
2 @
3 #
' "

Your '/ ?' key has seemingly moved up a row too - are the keybinds easily remapped to match?

@stefan maybe a roughly 30% increase in Media Storage usage, but the jump in actual content (mainly replies to followed content) has been 10x and definitely worth it.

I found https://github.com/reddec/compose-scheduler while looking for a docker-but-not-docker-swarm cron solution too, so it was beneficial in all directions!

@stefan I've been using https://github.com/nanos/FediFetcher on my self-hosted Mastodon, it really has made a big difference.

Especially for the first day when I didn't have the scheduling set up correctly and it was just running non-stop 😳

@popey I do have this issue for a specific YouTube channel, where I'm fully interested in the content, but completely tune out and can't focus on their voice and have to rewind constantly.

Haven't really found a solution for it though, other than watching alternatives.
