The other day, I was chatting on a Discord server about how people manage their photos, which keep piling up each year. I asked which cloud service they use, and one person replied, ‘Save them offline.’ That really struck me because I haven’t invested in offline storage devices in years, and I realized I wasn’t storing anything offline.

I am trying both the ways nowadays. Sometimes I wake up early to avoid the rush and I feel so groggy waking up earlier than usual that I slow-mo the morning routine. Sometimes when I wake up little late, I’m fully wake from the get go that I manage to rush through the routine. In both cases I reach the end around similar times. I am not sure which one I prefer, maybe not sticking to one makes the morning a little less boring.

I have been on and off lemmy lately, kbin has been shutdown?!!!

I think they happen naturally if you are visiting same place weekly at the same time. The waiter/cashier/or anyone who is regular to that coffee shop would try to initiate some interaction with you.

Visit a ‘third space’ at a consistent time weekly, e.g. coffee shop, bar, library, gym (note: the point is not to practice pickup lines, it’s to get used to being around people. If you go regularly, you’ll start to feel comfortable with the other regulars)

Level 1: Go outside Level 2: Go outside regularly Level 3: Respond to interactions Level 4: Initiate interactions Level 5: Make friends

I wish I could get to Level 2 at least.

I am a root user, yes but I only use it for migrate, a custom rom backup & restore tool.

Coming to Tasker, I tried so hard to figure it out but couldn’t do it for my use case of having custom gestures. I like to have profiles depending on whether I am home or outside, will give it one more shot for this.

I tried so hard to stick to Florisboard but gboard is waaay too convenient that I keep going back to it. I wish Florisboard at least adds feature to search among emojis.

I am using version 125.14 too and have no plans to update it.

I use Connect too and I consider myself as bit of a power user(have 6 clients installed my phone). Connect has all the features or even more than any other client. The horizontal swipe to navigate the posts is my favourite and probably only client that has this feature.

This is Pixel launcher feature. Exclusive to Pixels but also gettable via custom ROMs. I love this feature but Pixel Launcher doesn’t have good customisation features and hence I have ditched it.

This guy RAMs

You term it in a very positive way but I term it as nothing but “hopium”.

The hope of may be you will do better in the next game or in the next next game or the one after - gamer developers use this to keep us hooked is what I believe.

You will definitely get better aa you keep playing the game and this improvement will give you even more of that hopium drug. It is a cycle which cannot be broken unless you get genuinely bored of the game.

No I don’t have that ROM supported for my device. I’m currently on ricedroid a13.

Fixed? I am on Android 13 custom ROM and I still have that ghosting effect while accessing recent apps when I use third party launchers.

I am using custom roms since 4 years and the issue of third party with universal full gestures of stock android still exists to this day. This is why I use the stock launcher which comes with my custom ROM.

Yes. They’re just better on a budget device like mine.

Funny part I’ve shared only bunch of posts on the discord server that I’m active on and as lemmy posts embed so well, few people got interested and made accounts!

True feels like I am doing what I did 10 years back - fascinated about the new social networks. Facebook, twitter, pinterest back then. Lemmy, Kbin, Mastodan, Pixelfed now.

Thanks man. Proud of you as well!

One is main account. The other one is one I made when I did not know fediverse actually works xD. The last one is the one I made in the server closer to my location to have faster loading times. That’s it!
