I used the Notes quite a bit and thought it was a mistake to get rid of it. People pay for notes and tasks related sync services, so it could have been a revenue source. I also miss Firefox Panorama

How is it clickbait?

They said they’d open source Pocket and they didn’t. In fact, they’ve simply allowed it to rot and just removed features. So here I think the skepticism is warranted.

I agree that X is enemy territory now, but in a world where billionaires can buy up all the major means of communication, it doesn’t feel like enough to just close up our accounts and move on. They can follow us wherever our accounts go and buy platforms out from under us. Lemmy and Mastodon are slightly better as open decentralized platforms, but they still could be attacked by Musk if he had the initiative to.

I found it annoying on my Note 20 because that space was mostly lost for using the pen. Glad to have gained that real estate back for writing on the S24 Ultra

I use Flauncher. It works pretty well and is a simple grid of icons. With some ADB commands it can be set as default, which I did on my Shield

When I’m traveling and my tablet reconnects to wifi, I get a surge of vibrations. So the combo of notification sync and this feature sounds like it will finally solve that problem!

Honestly our sad EV offerings deserve to be disrupted

It was crazy visiting China last year. The EVs that everyday people are driving feel so polished and futuristic in many ways.

The leaves look like they’re shriveling. I also see some aerial roots. That could either be a sign of not enough water, or too much, leading to the roots dying and the plant dropping leaves out of stress. I would gradually expose it to more light as well as it looks etiolated. So I would put it in a full sized real pot with good drainage so that it has a nice, regular amount of water delivery, and the greater light will ensure it can use that water adequately (and not get root rot)

Yes, it has never been the best in terms of relevance or depth of index. But lately when I do searches for something like “cherry shrimp aquarium water quality requirements” I’ve been overwhelmed by AI-written SEO blogs. Where google still pulls up results from forums, reddit, other relevant actual humans talking.

Yes, and DDG has really been degrading over the last few months in quality of results imo.

I think it should be the suits and shareholders who destroyed Boeing’s engineer-first culture.

Yep, it lives up to the best of what immersive sims set out to be. You have point A, point B, and a million ways that you can go about getting from A to B

To me, Ctrl Alt Ego is not well known enough. It is an immersive sim in the style of Prey. You play as a robot roaming a station, where your Ego (like a spirit) can pass into and control all sorts of objects to solve puzzles, evade, control or kill enemies. The graphics aren’t impressive (it was made by a 2-person team) but the gameplay is so interesting and the story is surprisingly compelling and funny!

Yes, in the Sunset and other Western beach-adjacent areas, I could see salt aerosols being more of an issue. Dog pee is as low as 6 pH, full of salts, and I would assume on this object in the Castro (literally the innermost SF penninsula) dwarfs the volume contributed by salt aerosols.

Well, it might have been judged by elderly Kentuckians who haven’t seen porn since it was shot on film, if ever. So I don’t find it surprising they went “Wow, super detailed couch! Give this guy a prize!”

If they did that, anyone could spin up an instance and start just fabricating votes and there’d be no way to know

I think part of the motive is to make brigading harder (show if users or bots are colluding to vote things up or down)

20,000 people are playing it at a time. Not exactly a secret. The way they’re testing this game is radical and newsworthy in itself. I’m glad Verge reported on it, and they don’t seem mad they they were banned
