Hey, thanks! It’s a photo I took almost a decode ago in New Zealand. Here’s a link.
I also have a second “swipe” to the homescreen, but I make a point to keep apps installed to a minimum, and everything else is not used commonly enough to justify a place on the homescreen. 95% of my app opens are probably Firefox, haha.

I kinda like it, but fuck Xiaomi for disabling gestures unless you iss their launcher.
Used Kvaesitso previously.

Well… In my case it would be “calculate how much loss you’ve been making by growing your own veggies!”, lol.
(Container gardening and watering add up, but I am not complaining, I am not doing this to save/earn money)
- Comment on Grow a Garden Calculator 1 week ago:
I was SO confused until I checked the community.
Thought this was about literal, real-world vegatable gardens as a hobby.

Make sure you choose a proper open source one, else the app might collect data as well…

No, even QR I can only accept as an option, as in completely optionally. I’m out and about without a phone quite frequently.
- Comment on Are password managers secure to use? 4 weeks ago:
Can’t believe noone mentioned this yet:
Any good password manager encrypts and decrypts your password file client side. The server should not even have the ability to read your passwords.
Even in the case of a leak of all of the server’s data, as long as your password for the manager was good, you’ve got nothing to worry about.
I’d say pick a PW manager where both client and server are open source. Pick a strong passphrase. Enjoy.

There so much misogyny oozing out of your comment, I think I’ll go disinfect my screen now.
Hope your friend gets convicted for sending unsolicited explicit content 👍

Yeah but they can at least buy their bullshit, i.e. “we help gut overspending and Make America Great Again”. What’s the supposed mission here? “We help you fap to people that don’t want to he fapped to”?

Oh god I had not even thought about the last part.
Their staff is either 100% male, or a disaster waiting to happen. Probably both. I would not feel safe there that’s for sure.

LMAO. Except even dumber, they’re the von Brauns of the “fake illegal nude” world

For some people, definitely. But finding an entire startup worth of those people is (IMO) more difficult/unlikely than at least some of those starting there and talking themselves into not feeling guilty (if not for us, someone else would do it; we are not being as terrible as those others would be; it’s a tool, it’s not our fault people are applying it to minors etc.!; …)

Well, good news! Windows File Explorer gets built-in AI actions, so you can combine the worst of both worlds! 🥳
- Comment on Does anyone use a phone without a protective case? 2 months ago:
Yes. No case. Why would I? I specifically got the phone because it’s quite small, and feels nice in the hand. A case would ruin that.
I also have not dropped any of my phones once in the past ~10 years.

- Comment on Late 2 months ago:
Computer Science (at a rather “prestigious” university for CS, for that matter, at least as far as that’s a thing here). Not in the US though, and none of the three universities I’ve studied at had mandatory attendance, for anything (exception: seminars, where attending talks by your fellow students was mandatory). As a result, I’ve never seen any prof take attendance.
A lot of comments on this post say that attendance was called esp. for freshmen classes, but frankly, I don’t see how that would even have been possible here, with sometimes 500+ students in a lecture hall.
In regards to assignments, at least in my experience, studying the lecture material and consulting it while solving the exercises was usually the fastest way to understand them and get them done.
- Comment on Late 2 months ago:
Hi, I have been to lectures fewer than 10 times throughout my entire master’s. No AI, no textbooks, just lecture slides and doing the (ungraded) weekly assignments.
It probably wasn’t a smart idea (incl. for my social life), but it also wasn’t hard to do.
