It’s still refreshing that you can simply just edit a title now, lol

There has not been an election by Palestine in Gaza for roughly 17 years. Hamas isn’t exactly democratic.

Wish they had a native app. The misskey clients make my phone itch

Congratulations, you’ve sufficiently annoyed me enough to log in to my local instances to type this out.

There is no ”one” way to speak and write English — we don’t have an “”“official”“” institute of our language like Spanish or French does (and even if we did, they would not have a monopoly on English). We don’t speak in Received Pronunciation or keep the superfluous ‘u’ next to every ‘o.’
Like every language, English has multiple dialects with their own vocabulary, and even some with their own specific grammar. The sentence in the OP was likely written in one of them - African-American Vernacular English. This dialect codifies double negatives, the habitual be, and words like ‘finna.’ Many of its aspects are already integrated into ‘standard’ American English.

This is part of the process of language in general. Many of the rules in ‘proper form’ come from shorthand, slang, and and crude versions of other languages and forms. Being aware of the rules shifting and changing as people shift and change how they speak will probably get you further than turning your nose up at rules you don’t recognize.

Macabre. Why do you need two silent letters?

MLS please come and save us…

Humans may be made irrelevant in places, but you can’t say they’re bad at (broadly) recognizing patterns

A fitting name for a beautiful outcome.

I wish them bountiful data transfers without Telco trashiness.

I’m…mixed on situations like these

Like yeah, it’s very annoying having to manually refresh for more content, but at the same time I do appreciate having more time to fully explore my timeline instead of coming back from a post to see they completely discarded my reading place, losing whatever is was looking at, likely forever.

Of course, for quieter networks you may run into the problem of content refreshing too little…

I’ve done it; results are…flaky at best, YMMV

I can’t tell if it’s just my cable or my Pixels being… Pixels, but transferring from one to the other had frequent dropouts, elevated temps, high drainage, and sometimes disabled USB transfer until you plugged and unplugged again.

Might not be an issue on flagships or other OEMs but idk

TIL cats also have eye-whites (sclera), their irises just big as hell

He should get that addiction to chewing wires sorted out

ActivityPub is more of a social network protocol rather than a messaging protocol. It assumes most data sent through it will get public by default and has very little encryption set up for it, let along E2EE. Now Matrix is a better use case for an open protocol like that and also offers bridges between other chat networks (I wouldn’t be surprised if Beeper has Matrix under the hood).

Farewell to #HoloYolo - the last release of its generation, and the first of Android RunTime

Hate to spoil the parade but this Twitter user is of a person mocking nftbros, not an actual NFTbro

Cool software.

Even as someone sympathetic to ‘privateers’ though…you gotta have more plausible deniability bro, workshop that name lmao

8 years to not-remove a part of the spec AOSP supports natively.
8 freaking years to develop a solution for native video-out that isn’t the confusing, low-quality, barely recognized DisplayLink.
8 goddamn years to admit to themselves that Chromecast mirroring is a dog shit alternative to DP-AltMode.

But 8 years hopefully come to an end.

I like MY — I just wish I could design more of it on the user side.

Auto generated colorschemes are great and give Android a level of class it has been missing for a while. But I wish I didn’t have to rely on a third party app like Repainter to finely choose my palette rather than hope the theme engine makes a good one. I also resent my icon shape, font, and icon options being ripped away from me.

There was a section on the original MY Google IO announcement that implies that the padding and roundness could be freely adjusted throughout the system. I wish that materialized (rimshot) into the final product.

The only objective regression I can think of with MY, rather than just an annoyance, is the Quick Settings. A merged internet toggle that no one asked for, a further reduction in a available toggles from Android 11, and not even bothering to make the Bluetooth toggle one of the fancy expanding ones instead of sending you to settings or surfacing the audio playback toggle (why can’t I change the output before I play media, Google?). Ugh.

Fuck, I really hope this doesn’t turn the tides for other Red Hat projects.

Not even my Linux distros can escape the enshittiness. WTF man.
