In my defense, this is after work.
Metrolist, my man 🫡
What is metrolist?
It lists all the types of metros, obviously.
U guys get many metros? I don’t even have 1 metro
We’ve got government subsidised metros here.
Yeah, come on, don’t leave us hangin’!! I too would like to learn of this metrolist!
Its only for gay people. Metrosexuals like myself. LOL.
It’s a list of totally metrosexual stuff:
That works.
Or have basic awareness of yourself and your surroundings, at the level of a squirrel maybe.
Either or.
ha jokes on you I only access social media from a browser there fore I can’t be addicted. No if you excuse me I am 3 days away from a 100 day streak on reddit.
…hmmm, like there aren’t regulations ahgainst this shit?..oh, you campaign against regulations for this shit?..wth?..
Regulations against apps using battery?
…yes, dum-dum…
Errr… Hmm.
Are these supposed to be those “regulations” that “you” (whoever that may be) campaigned against?
…these are citations of application abuse of battery power…
I have no idea what you’re saying. Explain like I’m a dum-dum?
Olive Garden might just be as bad as Uber, where loading it for a short time drains an inordinate amount of battery.
If you close the app, they stop delivering the unlimited breadsticks until you make another order.
Conspiracy time: Olive Garden buys the breadsticks with cryptocurrency mined from your phone.
Conspiracy or brilliant business acumen?
Why wouldn’t you have dark mode… Wtf it hurts my eyes
Why would he?
That’s like asking why someone wouldn’t eat a full bowl of mustard
I mean… You can if you want, but people will have questions
How is it comparable?
What is connect? A Lemmy client?
Yes.
Pretty good client. I use it because it reminds me of RiF when I left reddit.
I tried it right when i made the switch (when reddit pulled the plug on third party) and didnt care for it. Idk if I just didnt know lemmy and that confounded my problems… has it changed? Or maybe I’ve learned enough i should give it a go ago.
It has improved over the years from when I first installed it. I just really appreciate the AMOLED theme and simple UI. I never found a reason to find a replacement.
That I align with 3 out of 4 of those is a bit concerning.
that seems like a lot of battery for just a keyboard
It runs a local LLM for auto correct and voice to text.
that seems like overkill
No, that’s a feature. Google voice to text will send everything to google servers.
Weird, I put my phone in airplane mode and verbally typed this out
You probably have this off https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/Turn-Off-Gboard-Toggles3.jpg
That is turned off but it must have defaulted to that. I don’t recall ever seeing this option before. In fact I don’t think I’ve ever even been in that menu, lol. The other options in there were turned on, were turned on.
Data harvesting?
Futo is Foss and offline. I switched to it recently from Swiftkey. Before that, apps would always restart if I switched windows or tabbed back to home screen and I assumed it was just my phone being lame. But since switching, that happens a lot less. So I can only assume futo is using less resources.
They aren’t true foss, but ‘source available’. I don’t remember why exactly (probably for licensing or something) and the typical user won’t know what that means nor care, but it is something to be aware of.
I like and use Grayjay, but the keyboard was not up to my standards, personally. Can’t find any foss/adjacent keyboards to come close to SwiftKey at all. I’ve been using it since release like 16+ years ago (?) or something, and every time I try something else, it’s just bad for a bunch of reasons.
Yup, it’s not FOSS but FUTO did some semi-shady definition shuffling so it would sound like it was, in the past.
That, combined with some other recent drama about more shady behaviour, mean I’ll probably generally avoid things coming out of them.
For truly FOSS android keyboards afaik there is Florisboard, Heliboard, AnysoftKey, Fossify Keyboard or Unexpected keyboard, as well as a couple more experimental options.
Dammit. Thanks for that. The description made it look like Foss and I fell for it. I’ve only just got my futo trained, but I’ll look at the others you recommended. I got the beta fossify before futo as I like the rest of the suite, but it didn’t even have a dictionary?
deleted by creator
I believe there’s some form of training involved in swift key so yeah, if you have a 16 year old one you should probably hold on to it
Yeah. I’ve looked into pulling the custom dictionary data but had issues logging in to obtain them - and I’m pretty sure that it won’t include the ‘logic’ required that tries to determine ‘when to use’ one suggestion vs another.
Yeah, it’s the one real negative I have with it and something a lot of reviews for it mention.
Tried HeliBoard?
HeliBoard is soooo good. Seconded. A lot of FOSS keyboards out there need… A little more polish ^^;
What in the hell is happenin’ over in the Olive garden app!?
Absolute class meme
can someone explain this to me who’s familiar with neither
Bro, are you not playing the hidden game on there “BRDstix”? It’s awesome.
Can’t tell if you’re serious or not…
We’re just family.
Soup and salad and unlimited breadsticks.
If you leave, you have to pay when you come back.
I no longer have Twatter on my phone, best decision I made in years.
Deadnaming? Have some respect! It’s called xhitter now…
Speaking of, I just finished my coffee and have to go send some xhits
Its an unusual day. Rocket for Lemmy only has 41 mins active and after this comment 42 minutes.
Wow, Termux is at the top for me, at 86%. I know my phone often gets notably warm while building packages in Termux, but that is surprising.
Oh good, podcasts and web browsing (to here, mainly).
Uh oh…
There are only 3 possibilities
- Voyager is a battery hog
- You don’t use your phone much
- You, together with your army of alts is single-handedly responsible for half of lemmy content
Voyager is a website in a wrapper. I dunno how it’s suppose to run the battery anymore than Safari does.
Its because it gets reported as the app using the screen and other subsystems during time its in-focus. So really it’s mostly your screen/wifi/etc using power, not the website as such - but the phone categorizes relevant power draw to the active foreground app that’s preventing the phone from sleeping.
Yo. Why is system UI so high?
Maybe uninstall System UI. will improve battery life
WTH is that even is
How do you find Fennec?
Through fdroid
Ba dum tisss. I mean, do you like it? How is it compared to FF?
Seems exactly the same. No issues whatsoever
iPhone creates a Screen Time report if you want to see actual usage and not just battery usage.
Samsung does too, don’t know if this is android native or not
Ah a fellow Proton user! Where I stopped scrolling made me think I had an email 😂
Found the Dutchie!
I turned off screen time on my iPhone because it’s hopelessly broken. It kept reporting that I was using my phone 20+hours a day with multiple apps given seven time being waaaay higher than reality. Lots of posts to be found on this bug.
Same on my Android
