  • The downloads list suddenly won't load anymore. I was going to get the last version before they added the notice to get pro.

  • Give it time. You get used to it. Eventually, you will probably type more accurately than you did before. A qwerty or any full keyboard like that does not belong on a small screen. :-)

    Shunned in computer age, cursive makes a comeback in California
  • I'm 40 and our teacher explained why cursive was a thing in elementary school. I figured we were learning it so we could sign our name.

    Take computers out of the picture. How long have we been using ballpoint pens? Cursive was obsolete even before computers took over how we write.

    Which is the least no fuss mainstream phone manufacture?
  • Most phone manufactures create their own version of Android. Usually they are pretty full of useless junk and a ton of UI changes. By saying "mostly Android" you're urually saying "mostly [original] Android".

    This was always super liminal to me because you're in this position so rarely and only for a moment.
  • I haven't been on a plane in about 10 years. That moment in this space is a great example of a liminal space. Your post brought me right to that feeling of being on the plane but not being on the plane.

    Huntington Beach City Council approves banning mask and vaccine mandates
  • Where I live, there were mandates but no one enforced it and no one cared. During the worst of the pandemic it was odd to see someone with a mask. Some stores would have a sign saying you would not be allowed in unless you had a mask. Then you get in and no one had a mask on, not even employees.

    I wonder what it was like in Huntington Beach.

    I've been blocking ads for so long that actually seeing them feels perverse
  • What a great way to put it. Years ago my wife was annoyed when I started blocking ads because it was effecting streaming on some apps. Now if an ad gets through look out!

    When we see ads, it is so annoying. Page loads are clunky and games blast you with ads.

    Google removed Island and Shelter apps from the Play Store
  • Glad its still working. I've been using Island for a while now. Maybe it is because I used Shelter for a long time but I like it better. I'm going to switch back if its still working :--)

    What Android apps are worth paying for?
  • It is called OSMAnd~ on F-Droid. It does not have support for AndroidAuto. I ended up buying the licensed version for that and to support the devs.
