I can’t believe that I watched a 30 minutes rant about puyo puyo until the end, it was interesting even if I’m on the Tetris side, sorry

TL;DR: app archiving, useless gemini shit, improvement for the 1% that own a foldable
What I’ve been doing:
Easy option: because I only have around 40gb of music, I sync it between my PC and my phone using syncthing since 128gb is the minimum nowadays
Hard option: streaming is cooler so I installed nextcloud with an optional plugin called “music” which allows to connect an app called “ultramusic” and it becomes “self hosted Spotify” with android auto support and all the bells and whistles. Disadvantage: Nextcloud is a moving target. For some reason they have to release new incompatible versions every two or three months. So for plugin developers this is a very annoying upgrade threadmill that eventually leads to burnout and that plugin dies. Even officially supported plugins sometimes don’t support the latest version when they launch it. If you choose to use nextcloud with docker, make sure to stay behind 1-2 versions (tag nextcloud:28 when nextcloud:30 is released) or your plugins might suddenly break without any warning. According to fanboys this is the industry standard nowadays and it’s up to the user to manually check the GitHub issues of each of the 30 plugins if it’s compatible before updating. Even if it’s official plugin. They call it “stable” but they mean “beta testing for the paid enterprise version”.
Whatsapp it’s blocked countrywide so it’s not going to be a problem (although I found out that some cell stations nearby tourist points aren’t blocking that)
In China is easy. Once you give some millions to tencent/Alibaba/Baidu/bytedance (or having the government force them to do so) for porting their apps, it’s all a Chinese citizen needs.
There are many apps that are actually “mini apps” (a WebView inside tencent WeChat)
When you enter China you need to register with the customs using said “mini app” in WeChat
90% of users exclusively use WeChat, alipay, Baidu, taobao, amaps, douyin (TikTok), xiaohongshu.
Maybe some could find useful to also have Weibo and pinduoduo (temu malware) but the “must have” apps are really a handful, it’s not like in the west
I would have never imagined that the SOC of a high end smartphone set to release in 2026 is going to use the same process node of the SOC of a smartphone released in 2024
This is really a scoop
Wow, i tried it, it’s like an Easter egg. Not only this swipe is nowhere mentioned in the UI, but it only works when applied over the digits, anywhere else on the screen makes a button press
Found the aosp calculator from android donut https://github.com/unrarp/material-calculator
iOS users, welcome to 2014
Wow the swiping to delete is the bomb!!!
You swipe on the delete key, select the text and then it’s gone!
Wow I missed this feature from the days of blackberry 10 when a swipe to the left deleted the last word
Now I only need “swipe up to capital letters”
A friend showed me the “revolutionary” calculator in iOS 18. It can now show the full formula!
I was like… “This is the standard in Android since cupcake”
Do I remember right? Does anyone remember if in any point of the history of the Android aosp calculator behaved like a dumb calculator from the 80s? For reference, the calculator in iOS < 17 can show at most 10 digits and replaces the digits on screen at each press, for example, if you type 1+2=, first you see 1, then 2, then 3, with no history and no backspace. Even the calculator in Windows 3.1 has the backspace!
Yes but it’s still better than nothing. Especially if the alternative is Termux+finely tuned power profile with Tasker. Install F-Droid to auto-update and then is set and forget
Omh I just downloaded it that right now, indeed it’s a really good keyboard, I toyed this without watching or editing the result so if there are some typos I left in this comment
that’s good, didn’t notice that
yes but the old docker requires the old licenses that aren’t on sale anymore to share more than 10 directories or other QOL improvements
It says “unlimited file sync is a $5 in-app unlock” so I’m guessing they can make money. Main problem is the apple developer fees that will eat the profit of the first 25 sales each year
That client seems really nice, is that new? I was thinking that it was just a download link for the browser but now it’s like a self hosted steam 😲
Does anyone know why it was forked and the fork got all the improvements while the official app is in the exact same state of when it was launched years ago?
It was because all the proposals got rejected?
Because if he rejected all the improvements I don’t really understand why he’s saying “nobody wants to help development”
??? It’s an app for power users, the Google play limitations are irrelevant once it’s published on fdroid…
Well, Gemini is the stupidest of the bots
It’s still in alpha but hoarder is promising
It’s designed to organize bookmarks, but can also support markdown notes with picture (a single picture, not multiple pictures)
Unfortunately at the moment the mobile app is so alpha that doesn’t support creation or editing such notes, only new bookmarks or new photos.
It uses a headless chromium to make screenshots for URLs.
Optionally, can use a bullshit generator like ollama or openai api keys to automatically create a lot of useless tags to each note
