  • The musicianship is top notch, but I feel like it doesn't appeal to non musicians/music enthusiasts very much. I feel like that's a problem. Part of why I think Mozart was such a genius was because he could make extremely complex music sound so damn simple. Anyone could enjoy it at any level of music education.

  • Would you choose invisibility or teleportation?

  • Absolutely. You could never fail at anything, or you could try it again. You would have full control of probability, which is fucking insane.

  • Yeah, that's how I do it now. I just mount the network drive on each PC and they can all access the same files. I'm just wondering if there's a usecase that syncthing has that my workflow doesn't that I just can't think of because I haven't used it.

  • I can set that myself if I want that. Let me be in control of my own device

    Visual changes are by subjective, so there's no such thing as an "improvement". I would say reverting it to the previous UI is an "improvement". I'm not talking about not upgrading Android. I'm not talking about not adding new features. I am specifically talking about changing the UI. Why remove buttons and replace them with swipes? Why change colors? Why rearrange the settings? All it does is make it harder to use the device for people who are used to having it a certain way.

  • I have a network drive that I put all my documents on. Would using syncthing have a better workflow than that?

  • I'm talking about Material You's color pallet feature. It identifies colors from your home screen background and sets that as the color scheme for your entire phone.

    This feature got tweaked in Android 14. The algorithm was changed, and the colors that it automatically detects are different. This is very disorienting, and some things just don't look good now. For example, you can tell if you are sending RCS or SMS messages in the Google Messenger app by the color the text bubbles are. But now they are the same color. And in order the change that, I have to select a different color pallet, which will change all the colors on my whole phone again.

    My questions are:

    1. Why does this feature exist? Why can't I just select the colors I like instead of forcing an algorithm to select the colors for me?

    2. Why did they tweak the algorithm? Now the colors that I got used to are different and there's nothing I can do to get them back.

    3. Why change things at all? Just let our UI stay constant instead of changing it all the time. It's hard to use our phones when the UI changes every year. What benefit is there to changing the way our phones look?

  • I moved to a cardinal area from an area that didn't have them, and it blew my mind to see one for the first time. They are gorgeous birds. They are also annoying as fuck. But they are so pretty while they are annoying.

    Sort of like my cat.

  • All my colors changed. That's a big change for me. It's so frustrating, because now I can't tell which of my conversations are RCS or SMS by the color. They look very similar. And it's because it's based on my color pallet that is chosen for me by material you, and they changed the colors generated by that algorithm. Yes, I could look for a different one in the settings, literally all of them suck now, and I can't get my old one back. Just let me choose my colors. Don't choose them for me. I used to be able to choose them myself, and they took that feature away. Why? Because they changed the design language. Just leave everything the same, for fucks sake.

  • It's dramatically different in every possible way other than the name. Successor or not, similar name or not, it's a different design language.

    And even with that, it changed dramatically in Android 14 from how it was in Android 13. I'm so sick of updating my phone and it looks different. I don't want to re-learn how to use my phone every year. Just leave it the same.

  • Apple gets the message, RCS coming to iPhone in 2024 with same Universal Profile as Android

    Jump

  • If they did, it wouldn't work on Android. There's no user-level API. So only apps that come bundled with the phone can use the API.

  • Apple gets the message, RCS coming to iPhone in 2024 with same Universal Profile as Android

    Jump

  • Technically anyone who makes an android device could have their own. The API is a system-level API, so any app signed with system certificates (aka, any app packaged with your phone) can use it. Any app you download from the play store can't.
