Same here, works in 1.0.12
Where we’re going, we won’t need roads 🕶️
+1 to ye olde trusty Rat! Tons of variants, many of which are cheap and cheerful. The ones with an LED clipping option are my favorites.
Agreed! My trusty little M1 air has been my absolute favorite computer I’ve ever owned. It’s just so darned capable and entirely silent. It does everything I need it to do and then some. I’ll upgrade sometime, but for now long live the wedge!
One thing I’ll say about the old model was that out of all the dating apps, Bumble was the only one where every woman who I met or even just messaged with could hold a conversation. That one requirement of them reaching out first set the bar, and I knew they were making the choice to speak to me out of all the other guys they were drowning in. I ended up with more dates through Bumble than any other app, and even made great friends with some people I didn’t romantically click with. Online dating is awful, or was for me, but Bumble was the least awful one of the bunch. The new model sounds not so great.
I did not! Thank you!
Which qualities would you like to improve?
I use a regular Pixel 6 pro, but there are a few things I keep around to improve the q.o.l. for using android itself.
Nova launcher to simplify things a bit and give me more search engine options
Firefox as my default browser with ad blocking add-ons to maintain some sanity
Solid Explorer to do file system stuff
Built in stuff:
Bedtime mode is a nice reminder to stop and go to bed
Focus mode is nice to stop casual social app usage according to a schedule
Flip to Shhh is great for… shushing. When flipped.
Do Not Disturb is my default mode. Only to be turned off when I’m actively awaiting interaction.
Notifications turned off for almost everything, always.
This is probably not true, but I’ve heard of people using toothpaste as a polishing compound for cloudy headlights on these older cars.
Ooooooh, Nice. Might have to try these out in my junior jet club!
Who the heck would down vote this? This is perfect out of the loop content, and I appreciate the extra context people have posted, even though I knew the basics.
I used the term ‘pursuant’ incorrectly for a long time. I thought it meant something like ‘things you do in order to achieve something’, like sweeping the floor is pursuant to getting the kitchen clean, vs the correct usage, which is either ‘in accordance with’, or ‘in a manner conformable to’. So a correct usage would be ‘sweeping the floor is pursuant to the procedure we set up to clean the kitchen’. Nice word, though. I like it.

Yeah, I usually use one for listening to news and podcasts in the morning. It’ll start with me in the bathroom, then follow me to the kitchen while I make coffee. It doesn’t live in the bathroom, but rather tag along with me. When showering I’ll hang it from a little hook up high. Sounds perfectly adequate for my purposes, though for listening to music as an activity unto itself I would choose a higher quality device.
I just wanna listen to my audiobooks while on my morning walk without carrying my phone.
When the sharing crackdown on Netflix was announced I decided to cancel it and set up a recurring donation in the same amount to a charity I believe in. It felt pretty great. I’m about to cancel Prime, but I need to switch credit cards, which is kind of a pain. Prime isn’t really worth it to me anymore. Otherwise I only pay for the ones that have active shows I’m watching. Haven’t sailed the high seas in decades, and probably won’t start. Missing TV has been great for my hobby productivity 😆
Oooooh good idea
