I know one guy in one of our Telegram chats that simply loves their Android turtle emoji

The reason I switched from Gboard was because it autocorrected a capital "I" to a small "i"

Google Gmail continuously nagging to enable Enhanced Safe Browsing in c/[email protected]

Man that would be great. My business is on Zoho Mail and I've been thinking of moving it over elsewhere. Would be great if Zoho also offered something like Takeout for importing the mails elsewhere

Did you import that email elsewhere? Or is it in a readable format that is even usable? Would love to know

IIRC, that is literally just a skinned KDE Connect lol. Probably even just a name change. Never used Zorin, but this is what I remember either DistroTube or Chris Titus saying.

What are you reading? (August 2023) in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I'm currently reading Over Sea, Under Stone by Susan Cooper, which is the first book in the Dark is Rising sequence.

I first read this book years ago, and what has stuck me ever since was the vivid use of imagery by Cooper. I've also watched the movie, but it's the book that has always stuck with me.

Easy to use apps for having a watch party? in c/[email protected]

This is usually a function that full blown media servers offer.

Jellyfin is the one that jumps to mind with this functionality, however I haven't really this functionality out as of yet.

More details leak about the Galaxy S23 FE's camera (www.androidauthority.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemdro.id/post/304616

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like all the Galaxy S23 FE lenses will see an upgrade, but the most important ones should.

  • The Samsung Galaxy S23 FE might get an upgraded selfie camera borrowed from the Galaxy S22 series.
  • This would join the previously leaked upgrade of the primary rear camera.
  • However, the telephoto and ultrawide lenses would likely not see upgrades.

Google’s AI-enhanced Search experience is testing more prominent source links (9to5google.com)
 

The Search Generative Experience (SGE) that Google is testing out with some users shows an interesting future for the world’s most popular search engine, but one that also wasn’t really showing its source links very clearly at first. Now, though, Google seems to be testing more prominent links in SGE.

Since its launch in May, the Search Generative Experience (SGE) in Google Search has been able to use generative AI to enhance search results with summaries related to your search. In a hands-on overview, our Abner Li called the experience “scarily sufficient,” commenting on how SGE makes it easy to ignore source links and just take Google’s answers at face value, even if they aren’t fully accurate.

Google Play Store tests semipermanent bottom bar in c/[email protected]

Back in the day, it was a really great way to find new apps. And by back in the day, I mean when it was still called the Android Market.

Its initial transition to Play Store in the ICS era also wasn't too bad. It still kept a lot of the good things from Android Market. But since the launch of Lollipop, things have really deteriorated. It might not have really been the fault of Google, but there's a lot more noise with subpar apps that crowd the store now. There's also the incessant ads for sketchy apps featured prominently that leaves a bad aftertaste in your mouth.

Like you, I've probably spent like 30 minutes on the Play Store over the last 4 years probably. Every app I want today is either on F-Droid, or already pre-installed on my phone. Or they're PWAs, and it's easy to install them just by going to the website.
