New Android logo

Can we make up our minds, please?
In the 90s-2000s we had these shaded, almost 3D icons everywhere. Then we transitioned to a flat, minimalist style.
Give us something new and exciting instead of capitalizing on "retro nostalgia"

People sticking with audio jack phones, why is USB-C earphones not a solution?

I can't tell which side of the argument your response is supposed to fall on...
Yes, people typically listen through their car speakers. Good job. Gold star.
But not all cars have Bluetooth connectivity. There's still a lot of people who drive vehicles that have to rely on 3.5mm connections (either directly, or with cassette or even CD adapters!). Or maybe their car supports Bluetooth audio, but they prefer the higher fidelity audio that a 3.5mm interface provides vs Bluetooth.

Maybe I'm missing something here. But this response holds no water.

High Efficiency Image Codec (or container, I'm not 100% sure). More commonly known as HEIF - High Efficiency Image Format.
Most modern smart phones can or will use this format because it's like jpeg, but better. Higher quality with smaller file sizes.

Overall support for the format still lags behind jpeg though.

Same here brother. I love that Jerboa is open source and available on F-Droid, but it acts up sometimes and only supports servers >= 0.18.0, so I've been bouncing until some more of the instances that I'm on catch up.

What drew you to BaconReader? I was a user by circumstance, really. The only real options back on the day were BR and RIF (I think Alien Blue was a thing at that time, but we all know how that turned out) and I just happened to go with BR and never switched.
I shouldn't say that. I did give Sync a shot for the last couple months before the apocalypse, and it was pretty snazzy once I got used to it. Excited to see how their Lemmy app turns out!
