@moshidon@FineFindus any chance it can hook into the Android app backup/restore stuff so it can be automatic? I hate when I forget to go manually save settings from apps before factory resetting…
I just picked up the JBL Live 670NC for $100 and I'm enjoying them! Nice to have headphones with USB-C finally and OMG is Google's new Quick Connect tech nice!
@ahoneybun I so want to get GNOME/FreeDesktop to be able to use stuff like Fast Pair, Quick Share, Cast, etc. I think it's technically open source but requires signing up as a distributor with Google, maybe?
@elevenhsoft I wonder if things will improve if we can get proper web app support baked into FreeDesktop via portals; e.g. a standardized API for this that browsers and even app stores could then support to “install” web apps, launching with the users' preferred web browser?
I briefly tried searching for this but couldn’t find it; @wjt do you happen to recall if there was progress or at least a documented issue in this direction?
The preschooler was sick with a 24-hour stomach bug on Saturday, my wife was sick with it on Sunday (and is still recovering), the toddler was sick with it on Monday, and now I am pretty sure I am getting hit by it. 🙃
Luckily the web based version still works, but I can’t install the app on my phone so I can’t get push notifications anymore. 😞
I really liked how simple and straightforward the app was, and how it wasn’t trying to up-sell anything besides its core competency of tracking and notifying about packages.
@dtc I have some hope that the app was mistakenly taken down; it looks like it's still available in the iOS app store, and the site is still up and working…
When I dismiss my morning alarm, Android gives me a full-screen page with the weather forecast and stuff which animates into view in a frustratingly slow way. But the button to dismiss it… On the one hand, it's nice to see a hint of character peeking through the blandness. On the other hand, surely it should be either “OK, thanks” or “Okay, thanks”? No-one writes “Ok” in mixed case, and the comma is standard outside of informal writing. The character that peeks through is “idgaf”.
I really like the convention of using ✨ sparkle iconography as an “automagic” motif, e.g. to smart-adjust a photo or to automatically handle some setting. I hate that it has become the defacto iconography for generative AI. 🙁
does anyone have a good Linux desktop image/video previewer like macOS' "quick looK" that isn't gnome-sushi? That's the only thing I've been able to find but I really want to avoid Nautilus.
@noxypaws I always wonder what the experience of a catch-all previewer brings compared to quick-launching apps. Like if I hit the spacebar and an image opens in a window and then I can hit Esc and it closes, why would I want to have another previewer app that also does that?
@noxypaws I'm trying to understand the allure of a “previewer” app that is separate/distinct from the regular apps that handle images, videos, PDFs, etc. What makes a catch-all previewer (like the macOS feature or GNOME Sushi) a better experience?
Is it that it opens quickly? Is it the keyboard shortcut? Something else?
