The stenographer for our local zoning & planning board still uses a XP netbook. Couldn’t believe my eyes when I first saw it

I’m sure some people will swap, but nah no way it’s a meaningful loss

Ad blockers will still exist too, they just won’t be as effective. If the layman installs an ad blocker and gets one less ad, they won’t question it further

Honestly, a massive one for me is not letting myself get angry at a game I can’t hope to understand or master at a highly competitive level. I do a lot better at recognizing these days when I am intellectually or physically incapable of getting better quickly at a game - my mind shifts these activities outside of a competitive mindset and more to a leisure mindset.

When I’m not trying to actively compete against others to a point of pride, suddenly I’m a lot more receptive to incremental growth at my own pace

Amen on free form multi window being a necessity - I can’t say I’ve ever triple tasked, but I absolutely have had floating windows for quick reference (like infographics/calculator/etc)

Force full screen is a must have - the Pixel Folds currently inability to do this makes it a nonstarter for me

DeX is awesome when I need it. I could live without it, but it’s really nice to use in a pinch

Haha, I’m right there with you. I’m off Twitter & Reddit, I had no alternatives until Sync came back…

Exactly. The other end of it is that a lot of the app-specific advanced functionality made the transition for Day 1 - unless Infinity/else has some tricks i’m unaware of, its currently the most customizable/feature complete app - actual tablet modes, foldable support, biometrics for subaccounts, user painting/tagging for sub accounts, profile backups so you can carry customizations to other android devices - etc.

Its all auxiliary & definitely not required, but losing these features made Lemmy a no-go on mobile for me. It’s also missing some real basic stuff like mod tools & the ability to make posts at all, but i’ve used the app for a decade & the dev is quickly pushing fixes/new features out the door.

Hell yeah. Special shout-out to Sync for Lemmy for reeling me back in as a daily user.

Absolutely - our local smoke shop in my towns plaza.

Feels odd that we are unquestionably on the verge of losing this form factor. I like the Pixel Fold approach, but I’ve become fond of the candy bar exterior display. It’s a bit less fun for texting, but makes scrolling social media timelines a treat

Unironically yes

ShareX and it isn’t even close

Absolutely floored at how active this instance & community is. It’s like I never left Reddit.

Cheers!!

You’ve GOT to give
