I am now a lemming.

I was thinking of making my first attempt at an android app a kbin app because of the lack of options, but their documentation (while done really well so far) isn't fleshed out yet.

Lemmy's Documentation is very confusing to me as someone still learning to program (does it get better when you are more experienced???), but it's definitely a lot more fleshed out, so that's why I'm attempting to make just another Lemmy client looool

I don't know how rare it is, but it hasn't really been painless on laptops from my experience. I've had to deal with trying to find the right kernel parameters to stop my laptop from freezing, to having an incredibly high default scroll speed which I've still haven't figured out how to change, to having to ask the orange alien place to figure out why my Internet card was not working. It may just seem like a hassle to some people, but I believe for most, it's enough of a hassle to just give up and go back to Windows.

Without reddit, I certainly would've been more ignorant yet less worried about my prospects in my country's job market when I haven't even started college yet.

That's foul, I was considering getting a Poco Flagship for my next phone. Though I guess if you manage to unlock the bootloader and run a custom rom, perhaps it doesn't matter as much if you don't get "HyperOS" updates?

This doesn't really bode well for Xiaomi's future though.

I was surprised by how insane the ama got. Considering Reddit is a major social media platform, I expected them to act more professional and pretend to care about people's input, attempting to make their users look like they are at least fine with these changes. I prefer the actual outcome more, love how spez doubled down on the allegations he made against Apollo while everyone blasts Reddit so much they can't do much about it unless they start taking extreme measures.

I personally am a sucker for Chinese Designed UIs, they’re really well polished and thoroughly skinned for Android, and Harmony OS (no matter what Huawei says about it, I’m still inclined to believe it’s Android) is no exception to that. The ecosystem stuff MrWhoseTheBoss showcased on Huawei products seemed pretty well done, and it made me think how good an ecosystem like Samsung’s could’ve been.

It’s proprietary though, and you can’t really get it on anything but Huawei phones. Unfortunately, these aren’t the golden days of custom roms anymore where people are porting Flyme onto their Redmi Note 5 Pros anymore :(

If it wasn’t for the obvious gripes I have about Huawei, I would probably have no problem using it, alas, I am just fine with using a custom ROM like RisingOS on my Pixel 6a anyway.

yeah but hearing about ai kind of gets boring the more I see people use it to make a quick buck and the more it spreads around onto stuff that doesn't need it :/

I've become very leery of any youtube videos (esp. shorts) with advanced sounding tts now because I don't want to support creators who make videos with mostly AI

If that just became the worst he's ever done, I can't wait another week before he stoops another 10 feet lower.

I searched up the store, the downside is that they’re all extremely far, even by car, so I cannot go there :( Thanks for the suggestion though :)

Honestly, I was just trying to look for the most general instance possible.

I haven't fully left reddit yet, but I'm more wary about going there, not because I hate using the first-party app and new UI, I've become accustomed to them. But because of how Reddit is handling the API debacle right now. They're willing to make unsavory decisions and double down on them despite widespread user distaste, going as far as to (defame?) an indie developer, and that makes me distrust the future decisions reddit will make on their platform.

You can dispose batteries at Best Buy? Do you know where in the Best Buy you would do that in?

and you keep the company from going under by buying their products so buy it next time if you need a new laptop and can afford it =) and make sure to upgrade whenever you need it =)

No shame in doing that. I've respected Comic Sans ever since I heard it's great for people with Dyslexia.

you could store a Fisher Price car, that counts right?

Should I not be surprised if she doesn't though?

I can imagine an onion tech article that states that a linux distro's biometric authentication feature has the computer shoot you in the head

Well how else are you going to pay for your mansion? That mansion is for the betterment of the kids riiiiight? /s

Best Buy would probably be my best bet, thanks!
