  • Fairphone posted 83% year-on-year growth in Q4 2025 - A journey away from Big Tech to a more sustainable alternative

  • That and features. I use Smart Launcher because it has a transparent themes like Liquid Glass which blends with the wallpaper. Has good search function. also Auto organizes your apps in categories.

  • Microsoft Authenticator might exclude GrapheneOS in the future due to root detection

  • Why pixel 8 in particular? Wouldn't an A series pixel be cheaper.

  • Google Play Store will shame developers of sloppy, battery-wasting apps

    Jump

  • Has someone found any apps with the warning text?

  • How long do you think it will be until Chrome/Google for all intents and purposes removes basic copy paste functionality on webpages?

    Jump

  • They would 1st enforce DRM and other security features before doing that. Stuff like Manifest V3 and others will continue to restrict use and addon access making them less user friendly than before.

  • Hey, does the gesture navigation conflict refer to the scenario where using the comment navigation bar to scroll top level comments. The ⬆️up arrow loops back and forth between the same comment?

  • Android 17 wants to solve the biggest headache with using SIM PIN locks

    Jump

  • I have a Realme phone and have similar number of apps and also multi task heavily. Fortunately, I have 12GB of RAM so reboot is not necessary.

  • What android phone are you using? I can go fine for nearly a month. Would've been longer but need to reboot to apply security updates.

  • Realme 16 Pro series gets extended software support in India

    Jump

  • The X post appears to be just a promo post. It does not actually confirm anything. The official store listing still says 3+4 Updates. Could be lazy copy paste from marketing.

    Hopefully, that's not the case.

  • Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra arrives with Privacy Display, SD 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy

    Jump

  • You could buy last year's flagship or refurbished. Security updates would be the main reason to upgrade.

  • Samsung Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra's EU Energy Labels confirm their battery capacities

    Jump

  • Who says you are getting worse battery life? You get nearly twice as much battery life with oneplus 15 compared to S25 Ultra. Also a full charge takes 40 mins to vs 1hr 28mins on the S25 Ultra.

  • But, we do see bigger battery phones outside china. Oneplus 15 has 7400mAh battery for example. Others like Iqoo, oppo, vivo, poco also provide large battery phones worldwide.

  • Heliboard + Google Swipe Lib + FUTO Voice input

    Jump

  • I use cleverkeys keyboard and futo voice for superior typing experience. The suggestions are simply unbeatable by anyone.

  • anyone else have google speech to text stop working correctly about a week ago?

    Jump

  • Someone tried and liked Dictation Daddy. It's not foss but can do the job and play store shows no ads.

  • MAX, a Kremlin Telegram replacement

  • Cloudflare outage on February 20, 2026

    Jump

  • Atleast this time it wasn't DNS.

  • [WIP][v1.78.0] Better AVIF support

    Jump

  • There are so many updates. Its hard to keep tabs on them all. Btw, how will experimental AVIF support work? Will it depend on the OS provided support or a library that you integrate?

  • What are the best platforms to get important discussions?

  • ai;dr | (ai; didn't read)

    Jump

  • Yes, autocorrect!

  • ai;dr | (ai; didn't read)

    Jump

  • I was in agreement and had high expectations with the ai;dr abbreviation usage until I read the article.

    For me, writing is the most direct window into how someone thinks, perceives, and groks the world. Once you outsource that to an LLM, I'm not sure what we're even doing here. Why should I bother to read something someone else couldn't be bothered to write?

    Agreed. If you cannot put effort into something you want to convey why should I? But, then comes the next paragraphs.

    I'm having a hard time articulating this but AI-generated code feels like progress and efficiency, while AI-generated articles and posts feel low-effort and make the dead internet theory harder to dismiss.

    So, AI assisted coding is progress but AI assisted writing is not? Sounds hypocritical.

    and call me an AI luddite, I use LLMs pretty extensively for work. Claude Code has been tearing into my token budget for months now. I can't imaging writing code by myself again, specially documentation, tests and most scaffolding.

    You cannot imagine writing code by yourself but expect others to write articles by themselves?

    Growing up, typos and grammatical errors were a negative signal. Funnily enough, that’s completely flipped for me. The less polished and coherent something is, the more value I assign to it.

    But eh, broken English and a lack of capitalization is now just a simple skill away so does it even matter?

    The same can be said for coding. You are getting AI to put the effort instead of doing that yourself. Why should I trust your code? I dislike Vibe coding and LLM generated articles. They lack the authenticity a real person's work would've.
