It’s still a tiny echo chamber like it was a couple months ago when I cut back on Lemmy use. It can get pretty repetitive and boring to read. I came back to Reddit because the user base was larger and there were more perspectives I could hear from.

California has only counted around half their votes so a popular vote win for Kamala could be a thing.

So this is how a democracy dies…it votes for its own death.

The 8 has a shitty optical sensor. You’ve gotta try those Samsung ultrasonic sensors or those on the Pixel 9s. Way different experience. Just a light tap and it unlocks.

I’m gonna have to say no to that. I love my ultrasonic sensor. It works when wet and is in a way more reachable location (the screen). No need to reach behind the phone or stretch your finger to unlock, no need to lift your phone when it’s on a table. The success rate is basically identical and it’s lightning fast, even faster than a physical sensor. The final perk is it doesn’t create a large circle opening on the back of a case so the back of your phone is totally smooth save for the camera.

Qualcomm settles and continues to pay ARM a bigger shitload of money, Qualcomm SoC prices increase to make up for that, phone prices increase further.

I’ve just returned to Lemmy after a while so I’m OOTL. Can anyone give me a gist of what happened with the recent vegan drama on here? Or maybe link to a post I can read?

You should. I always keep mine updated.

Haven’t used F-Droid since I started using GrapheneOS on my Pixel lol. Just use Obtainium.

Fmovies WHAT? NOOOOOOOOO

I got a Galaxy S24+ Exynos for 750 USD this year with Galaxy Buds 2 Pro bundled in. It was one heck of a deal. I’ve been living it. Should last me long time.

Nah, you’re using your own API key.

Works for free if you patch it with ReVanced.

I don’t tell people about the Fediverse.

Well that was 18% of 90% so still awful drain regardless.

Well here’s the drain I was talking about at least. 18% in less than an hour and thirty minutes of use for a web browser isn’t normal. In an hour of use a Chromium browser only drains 6-7 ish % for me. This has been an issue for I guess the past month or so? It drove me crazy so I had to uninstall. And it’s not just me either, there are tons of posts from people with the same problem on Reddit. If you don’t have problems, good for you I guess.

I ran Firefox Android with uBo and AdGuardDNS.

That’s all fine and good but Firefox on Android is currently in a sorry state. No per-site process isolation, buggy, can’t keep tabs open, slow, choppy, drains battery. Had to uninstall it on my brand new Galaxy S24+ and my Pixel 6 Pro because it was draining so much battery. When are you going to finally stop ignoring Firefox Android, Mozilla?

It’s open source. Authy isn’t.

I don’t hate veganism. It’s a dietary choice and that’s fine. What I hate is vegans. They’re always pushy and judgmental and hateful and sometimes even destructive in their activism. They’re an annoying group of people and I just don’t want to have to deal with them.
