That’s what I’m hoping for. I doubt I’ll use it, but I really liked the idea.

Does that mean desktop mode will be available by default? Some of the earlier reporting said it was hidden behind flags and may never see general release.

“dingus” is so judgemental.

What about a formal “my good fellow”? Or a friendly “brah”? Perhaps “bean-breath” if you want to push the Lemmy in jokes? Or even “dawg”?

That’s a really interesting set of protections: they’re targeting categories of scams and trying to prevent them.

I can see that causing a lot of problems for people walking relatives through legit tech support, but if it prevent vulnerable people from getting scammed, that may be worth it.

My machine is not a workhorse. I got it second hand. It has around 8gb of RAM, and an 80gb HDD I found in a laptop.

But it’s enough to work as a testbed, so it’s fine with me.

I’ve finally powered on a 15 year old machine to run a bot I’ve been writing. The thing is slow as dirt and stuck behind a flakey power line network, but it’s working. I got to write my first systemd service definition, which is kind of cool.

Reddit users attribute this boost in GPU performance to changes in Android 16. However, my Pixel 6a is running the latest stable release of Android 15, and it still saw a nearly 23% increase in the Geekbench 6 GPU benchmark. In fact, my Pixel 6a scored a total of 8252 points in the test, outperforming even the Pixel 9 Pro. Therefore, it’s unlikely that anything particular in Android 16 is responsible for this boost in GPU performance.

I’ve noticed that animations seem a bit smoother, but that’s hella anecdotal.

I appreciated the last round of UI improvements for the setting app. It looks like this might be another improvement.

I dislike all the empty space. Fortunately, other launchers can improve that.

If dude’s fix is legit, it should be merged.

I’ve only noticed stutters when scrolling some web apps, and those have been fixed by the app author.

Thank you. I was curious, but not that curious.

For me, Sync is still working well enough. I periodically dip into other apps, but Sync is still my go to.

I’m guessing that jdlawson won’t be able to recover his costs on Sync for much longer. I’m hoping he open sources it.

So it isn’t just a terminal, it’s running a VM that includes a display server and exposes ports, that you can use a terminal in.

Garmins do.
