on is still a mess. This is not available for any of the devices I have. I own a Samsung Note phone (with a Qualcomm), a Samsung Tab (with Qualcomm), several Android devices which are 10+, like Motorola, some Anbernic devices that use a Rockchip and Unisoc... and none is supported?!???

Didn't know @kushal's daughter was so talented!

@bagder Always great to see an impression of 'papa' as your own kids see it; have several from my sons around the house. They are life-like ;-)

I tried on the . The experience is not bad, especially using a Bluetooth controller. But still prefer how this works on ; much easier to deal with ROM files, and the screen on my Samsung (OLED) looks better.

#Skype is not reliable as a fallback option to make calls... and you know why? They REMOVE your balance if you do not use it from time to time!

F-you #microsoft !

is such an awesome company...

too bad I never owned a MegaDrive in the 90's. Was too much into the , which I do not regret, as it created me the person I am (as a software engineer/engineering manager). Though, I would wonder what this would have been if I had a Sega instead... ;-)

Say what?!?!?!??? And such a person calls himself a "techlead" ? How misinformed of a douchebag this is...

at-techlead message from Twitter/X, that reads: "No one asked for women programmers. We asked for women influencers and instead got 'independent women' in pants suits. A woman should prioritize being a good mother and wife, not a coding machine"

He also said: "So when I used to conduct interviews for Google, I rejected all women on-the-spot and trashed their resumes in front of them.
I told them, "Go have some kids.
Don't worry, I'm smarter than you"
"

What a douchebag!

Which application is better?

  • Insular (island)
  • Shelter

gbraad,
@gbraad@mastodon.social avatar

Also found this:

https://secure-system.gitlab.io/Insular/faq.html

Eventually settled on Shelter (for now). Although on Anbernic devices this does not work. It does create the Work profile, but fails doing anything after this. The same for Insular. The profile is usable, so removed Shelter/Insular afterward on these devices.
