I haven’t used an Android device since my last one, the Galaxy S8. Beautiful hardware, beautiful design, but it was plagued with animation stutters and dropped frames. I switched to an iPhone and an iPad around 6 years ago. And the animations were buttersmooth. It was almost unthinkable to achieve such a fluid interface on any...
I been using android since version 2 and never encountered this. I guess it depends on the device a lot, as I’ve worked a lot in the mobile industry I’ve tended to have the more powerful devices.
Which makes sense, smart phones being small computers and all, the slower ones are slow sometimes and the faster ones tend to be faster.
Androids diversity has always been it’s strength and weakness
Wolves have adapted swiftly and surely to human-dominated landscapes. But people are struggling to adjust to the wolves.

I’m curious if any of you still use anything other than fediverse. Since discovering it last year I’ve deleted all my non fedi social media, and it feels great!
Nearly all the copies of a small-town Colorado newspaper were stolen from racks on the same day it published a story about charges being filed over rapes alleged to have occurred at an underage drinking party at the police chief’s house while the chief was asleep.
Empathy is the ability to understand someone else’s experience, to grasp something of what they’re thinking, feeling, etc.
It doesn’t automatically imply that you care, you can respond to that understanding of someone else’s life with compassion, indifference or anything else.
The colloquial usage of the word empathy to mean “consideration and caring” is problematic as is oftentimes an imagining of how the observer would feel if they were in the difficult situation, rather than the useful version of understanding how the other person feels within that difficult situation.
I don’t know whether this is an unpopular opinion or not but I actually think that the way Tasha Yar died gave the show much higher stakes throughout it’s entire run.

And yet when I think about it, it really doesn’t seem that mad. If god is real and can make people he’s certainly capable of making people with belly buttons.
This isn’t just a race issue, how many historical figures in general can people name?
I’d gamble that 7% of British people think Winston Churchill signed the Magna Carta at the end of the first world war, and I include former prime ministers in that.
Am I just supposed to sit there and watch as all sort of injustices are taking place everywhere? What can a person do to make this world slightly better?
The massacres have been occuring through all of human history, the world does not see any years without wars and atrocities.
The question I’d ask people is how they suddenly notice when this is happening.
If you’re struggling to ignore it and carry on with your life, think back to the point where you were blissfully ignorant of the suffering in the world and return to that state.
My personal methods for this, may or may not work for others.
don’t take personal responsibility for things you can not personally control. This is the source of despair.
choose where you get your information from carefully. If the source is pushing a particular version of events too strongly they’re trying to get a reaction from you. Drop em.
Getting more than one source prevents being pulled too far in one direction. Having too many causes confusion and uncertainty. Two or three good sources of news is enough.
study history. Read about politics and events throughout all of human history. This gives you context and can be very soothing as you get a perspective broader than any single human life.
focus on yourself and your life. Is that improving? What small steps do you want to take to improve that?
drop the scripts you’re given. You’ve been told what Your life should look like but it’s rarely possible to meet those expectations and the news re-enforces this. Drop the scripts and live your own life based on what is possible and desirable for you.
There’s probably more I could say here but that feels like the heart of it.
Don’t waste energy trying to live life with zero irreversible or undesirable consequences.
Plan to avoid them, sure. Make good choices, sure. Accept that a lot of your learning, growing and opportunities will emerge from irreversible and undesirable outcomes
