Honestly, nothing. I was pretty hopeful to see a change of heart during the AMA, but clearly that didn't happen. Good riddance, long live the fediverse.

Not update if I don’t want to

And if you try paperless and don’t like it, docspell is another great option.

I like Lemming, that's what I'm going with

Fellow refugee :)

You can turn that icon off if you’d like. Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Show in status bar.

Apple Maps vibrates my Apple Watch when a turn is coming up, and a different pattern depending on the turn. I much prefer that to voice announcements interrupting my music or conversation, and I can’t rely on myself to constantly keep an eye on the map on CarPlay.

Mine is set to run a Siri shortcut that remote starts my car. This may change tho, we’ll see

In response to a couple of those hate lines:

Re keyboard: Surprised you hate the keyboard, I have never been remotely as accurate on an android phone (I do have to interact with them frequently for work). But you can install gboard from the App Store, and I believe that is the same Google keyboard as on android, but I may be mistaken. Doesn’t let you use it on password fields tho, which can get annoying.

Re nzb360: check out LunaSea. I ended up migrating to qBit with vuetorrent as a webui so I can just use a PWA tho, then I don’t have to worry about app compatibility, at least for torrents. Sonarr/radarr/others have been fine for me in a PWA

Re iCloud: you pay for Google drive, which is googles version of iCloud. on an iPhone, you get iCloud. I imagine Android won’t let you backup your WhatsApp stuff to onedrive, iCloud, etc, so why would it be different on iPhone?

Re storage management: this really comes down to how you think about things. Apple goes for a more “tag” like approach with albums where Google goes for a more “folder” like approach. Some people think about it one way, some another. Personally, I lost all my photos from both my previous android phones because it could never figure out how/where to save them (back in the micro sd card days). I’m sure it’s better now, but boy howdy did it suck the last time I used it.

As for Google photos, I use Immich, which is a self hosted alternative, and it lets you backup based on album(s) or everything. I would imagine Google photos could do the same, but if it can’t, that’s on Google.

What I have found when people switch (either direction) is complaints about compatibility with services they are used to. So iPhone to android, complaints about losing iMessage, or iCloud Drive, or whatever other stuff may only be available to apple customers. The same holds true in the opposite direction, so android to iPhone, complaints about RCS (which yeah, apple should support anyway) or backup to Google drive. But really, it’s a completely different platform. While some things come over and are compatible, not everything is due to competing platforms having competing services. And at the end of the day, that’s what makes both platforms better.

Personally, I’ve been on iOS for probably 10 years with maybe a single Pixel in there for a brief period before I returned it. I like it because it’s familiar and what I’m used to. When it comes to my phone, I don’t have patience for troubleshooting things, I just want it to do what I need, and get out of my way. My last android phone, it felt like all I did for 2 weeks before returning it was tinker with it to make it cooperate, and in the end, I just didn’t care anymore, so back to iPhone I went.

And none of that was intended to be hostile if it came off that way, text is hard sometimes. Hope some of those replies help you!

I’m enjoying Lemmy, but the migration has been painful for me because of the random answers to very specific questions that pop up in Google searches. I blocked Reddit.com on my dns server a few weeks ago, and I have lost count of the number of times I’ve had to copy/paste a Reddit link from a Google search into archive.org, or view the Google cached version just to get the answer without giving Reddit the traffic. It’s going to be a long time before that problem goes away, and I don’t know I have the patience to keep up with viewing the cached versions

I just build my Voron 2.4 last month as an upgrade to my riced out Ender 3, and I absolutely love it. Highly recommend the build and printer. I went through magic phoenix for a kit, and picked up a couple extra things I wanted along the way, but they weren’t necessary. Took about 24 days to arrive after placing the order with DHL shipping.

I printed all the parts myself in ASA on the ender. In hindsight, someone else with a better printer would have done a better job, but only marginally. I was surprised how well my ender did on that much ASA.

I’m still tuning the voron, but the defaults in orca slicer have been doing well so far, and it’s fast, I mean really fast. Right now mine has a bit of over extrusion, but that just needs to be tuned a bit more. I’ve seen people on line pump out some amazing prints on the v2.4.

I imagine everything you’re looking for will be satisfied by the Voron, either 2.4 or trident. I wanted a 350^3 tho, so I went with the 2.4

Freeleach filters, and re-seeding for the minimum amount of time is a great way to handle private trackers though. Yes, still more work than public trackers, but you generally get access to stuff that’s harder to find if you’re into them, and download speeds are generally faster.

Usenet is also a good option, but that requires $

About 1200w @120v

I have 200 of that at home, the other 1000 is in our data center at work, and I don’t pay for that power. It’ll be rough when I leave some day.

I haven’t found a great survey tool for iOS since my phone was jailbroken back in the day. Now adays I use Acrylic WiFi on windows, but they may have a Mac version.

There’s also airport utility on iOS, but it really can only give you basic RSSI per SSID, which in many cases is enough.

Chicago - either warm up in the winter, or cool down in the summer

Figured I’d figure that one out the hard way. So far it hasn’t happened, but upon purposely trying to start the car with my phone in my pocket, it seems like the screen needs to be active before the action button works. So either detect it’s out of your pocket, or hit the lock button to wake the screen.

Mine runs a Siri shortcut that triggers a script on my home assistant server to remote start my car. Incredibly useful.

If I felt like porting the python script to Siri Shortcuts, I could do it natively, but that seems like too much work

I use Docspell and it’s fantastic. Runs as a docker container so should have no problem running it on Windows.
