But Nothing Phone isn’t a Pixel, is it? Yeah, I think it’s probably closer to the Pixel’s clean software experience than Samsung’s bloated one, but still, this doesn’t seem to be fair comparison.

Hey, I’ve been really careful with my words to NOT say that. I was just wondering and I acknowledge that it might be nonsense.

US has a huge influence on the entire world. Could it be that it started (or got amplified) in the US due to poor healthcare and then spread out to the rest of the world? I’m not trying to put all the blame on US of course, but it doesn’t sound that unreasonable that it could be partially responsible.

I used Samsung until about a year ago and now use Pixel since that time. Pixel software experience is infinitely better for my tastes and needs.

I mean, ok, you do you. There’s a huge amount of people (me included) who find paying with their phone extremely convenient.

Also, this article is about giving users more choice, not forcing anyone to use a wallet app.

I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and I love it. I like it more than any app I could find on the Play Store and the fact that it’s open source is an awesome cherry on top.

When I receive a notification I don’t need to switch away from my editor to check it, I just glance to the left and continue with my work or react if needed. Constantly switching windows in front of me would be so much more distracting for me.

Also, being able to read docs and google stuff on a vertical monitor on the right, while still seeing the code in front of me is incredibly convenient. Again, I can’t imagine switching away from my editor to the docs and to the code again.

I need to be able to effortlessly switch attention between code, tests, logs, docs, notifications. If I can’t do that by just shifting my sight in the right direction, my brain doesn’t function.

It’s so interesting how different people are!

• Left (horizontal) - communicators, btop, Spotify.
• Middle (horizontal) - browser with GitLab, terminals and editors, main development in general.
• Right (vertical) - browser for googling and docs, terminals for tests / logs / whatever I want to see at the same time as the editor, Obsidian for notes.

Anything less than that will completely ruin my workflow. I’m even trying to come up with a feasible way to fit a fourth one.

I mean, it would probably make sense to make this optional to accommodate as many preferences as possible. I, for one, prefer to get the human readable message right away instead of having to use another tool for it.

Well, I don’t mind being called stupid if it makes my debugging easier. For many people visual/ graphical representation is much easier to comprehend than a block of text.

E2E is their flagship feature and pretty much only selling point. I’m really not surprised they don’t allow to just disable it.

Huge thanks to Vaxry and all contributors, Hyprland is great!

I’m well aware of what Vivaldi can do but I refuse to support Chromium’s monopoly. In fact, it’s the only reason why I use FF.

Oh god, yes please. I would love to have that!

Man, I’m just chilling and relaxing after a week of SE work and this resonates with me very deeply

I didn’t expect this to be something I would actually use but I was mildly excited to try it out just out of curiosity. Then it asked me to log in. Login to a fucking terminal emulator. I have no words.

I’m very excited for COSMIC!

I think OP is worried about keeping their charged phone on the charger just for this feature. I also heard that keeping devices with batteries connected to a charger for a long time is not good because it generates a lot of small charging cycles pushing the battery to 100% repeatedly. I’m actually curious whether that’s true for the modern smartphones or not.

FWIW my Pixel has an “adaptive charging” feature that slowly charges the phone to 90% overnight and then tops it to 100% just before an alarm. It seems to be aimed at reducing this exact effect so I wouldn’t be surprised if there is something to it.

I was sure I’m getting baited when I clicked the link but it’s one of the rare cases when it actually turned out not to be a clickbait.

This feature literally found and isolated “important files” and now they are deleting those files. Just because it was never available in the US doesn’t mean it’s irrelevant.

Yeah, so basically Google invented a feature that finds your important files and deletes them. The future is here!

Of course I’m exaggerating for humoristic effect but in all seriousness I think the whole action is extremely poorly executed. I would be surprised if there weren’t some cases of people actually losing something important because of this.
