Cris

I appreciate you mentioning that, thats how I’m considering using the 5 if it ends up as my phone replacement, but I have a hard time interpreting the info around wireless frequency bandwidths supported 🙃 I like pretty user interfaces, networking hurts my brain

Gotcha. I missed that on their GitLab page, Thank you for pointing it out to me!

Futo Voice Input, and there are links in the post ☺️ Weirdly, it doesn’t seem to be on Fdroid (yet?), but you can install it as an APK from their website.

I’m using it to type this comment and I REALLY like it! But I will say it tries to do punctuation for me, and that drives me nuts.

(Video is about an open source voice to text, input method for Android, by the way.)

I mean, in fairness, this is a reviewer. I think the obsession with everything being different than it used to be is mostly a consumer, marketing and reviewer thing. Designers certainly have a role to play in the problem too, though.

Like 7zip, or winrar if I remember right. Sometimes when torrenting something or getting ROMs for emulation I’ve come across archive formats that have given me a problem when I try to uncompress them

Material files and/or anemo are perfect for me. Wish material files could handle more kinds of compressed archives though, I have to keep a different app for those tasks

Thats genuinely fascinating! I love hearing about that kinda stuff, its always really neat to hear the life experience that folks get and how it differs in different cultures.

If you were to ask for a salt shaker, do you feel like it would be offensive to the folks working there, or preparing your food?

Thanks for sharing your knowledge of another culture with me ☺️

This is an A+ post, thank you for sharing your undying adoration of beans with us ❤️

In the USA I’ve never been to a restaurant that didn’t have salt on the table. Do you mind if I ask where you live?

I wonder what aspect of cultural differences are responsible with that, thats genuinely super interesting to me

Pepper is best when fresh, and its an easy way for them to provide an experience for diners where they feel like someone is giving them special care when it comes to their food, if that makes sense. Salt makes no difference freshly ground. Also, at least in the USA, generally no one will be insulted if you ask for salt; is that an experience you have often? And do you have to ask for salt often? Anywhere I eat they just have salt shakers available, it seems odd to me that they’d make people ask

I only use lemmy via mobile. There are tools available for redirecting on android also but its kinda nice to just have a link 🤷 I think it makes privacy more accessible

I rather liked the piped link bot. It was nice to always be presented with an option 🤷 but thats just me

While that is fair, messaging is a bit more complicated since you kinda have to use what other people in your life are using, and almost all of the people I talk to regularly have RCS but not other chat services I’d rather use. If RCS was available outside of google messages I’d gladly use a third party RCS app.

Like I said, its great to have an account option if you can still use it without your google account via the QR code, but loosing a feature unless you use a google account would be a bummer.

To be totally honest it seems weird to me that people would be so invested in debating my preference to not have to use a google account. I was just expressing my personal disappointment that a feature might go away unless I link an account- do I really need to justify that? Can’t I just be not-thrilled at something without people telling me I shouldn’t feel that way, or that I’m unjustified? 🤷

Regardless, I hope you have a good day :)

RCS is the only way to get read receipts with most folks I know, and google messages is the only way to use RCS presently

Yes, I know. I’d like to have access to that feature without having to use my google account

Probably not. Could kinda depend on what kind of pot, and how hot you crank the burner. And also what kind of “burner” it is. But probably not. Electric coil and induction I would imagine are more likely to warp a pan, probably moreso induction than electric coil.

And single ply stainless and carbon steel seem like they’d be more prone to warping. But pots don’t really warp much, unlike pans which sometimes do. Cast iron definitely won’t warp, and a gas stove is unlikely to warp anything because the radiant nature of the heat it produces is less prone to creating hotspots

If a pot/pan is gonna warp, usually unless you MASSIVELY overheated it, it will return to shape after it cools down: so pay attention to the pot if its somewhat cheaply made and if you notice its not sitting flat while cooking, maybe be mindful not to crank the heat super duper hot with that pot

Ultimately, its extremely unlikely you have anything to worry about, and any potential issues can be managed by paying a little attention

Hope this helps :)

If the qr code options stays then its absolutely a positive, but RCS is already a (very frustratingly) closed ecosystem: locking certain features behind an account would just kinda suck, since google messages (or I think maybe Samsung messages also) is the only way to use RCS presently

Why are hario products so cute? Like its such a simple carafe but its pretty, and I want one. I don’t even drink pour over coffee- I have no need for an insulated carafe, all I drink right now is iced mocha from aldi lol 😅 but I want one

Yeah, of the google logo colored icons they’ve been switching to, thats a pretty fun design for the form of it
