i developed my first app and ran into the same problem.

then i went to fiver to hire someone to test. there were lots of offers to help with this exact problem.

but then, when i wanted to lookup some information he needed i noticed, that my app was already approved and available in the play store.

i had to ask the guy for a refund and he grumpily refunded ^^

i definitely had the requirement notifications in the console. but those also suddenly disappeared.

maybe because my dev account was already a few years old, although i never actually used it before.

reaper is excellent for “regular” music recording, etc. but it lacks a bit if you’re into making beats, edm, electro,… then you might wanna look into bitwig, which is basically ableton-like but different and it runs natively on linux (and win & mac). there’s also ardour and a few others that are open source or at least free.

i’ve used “digital detox” for this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.ddc

now i have a physical timer lock box to lock away the whole phone.

it happens all over the place. in the official google calendar app, but also in the system settings, etc. so it’s not just in external apps.

it’s weird 😅

i’m on android 15 (2025-05-05)

that’s another issue, lol.

i have my phone set to english but occasionally some apps use the 2nd system language for no reason.

it’s a known bug. the recommended fix?: reboot 🫩

hmm, usually the & is not part of the filename and just tells the script to run in the background 🤔

but i’m not sure what it means in this case.

videos? they should totally be watchable at that point.

ok, yes, i suppose i should not have mentioned the scripts without attaching a warning.

i’m still grateful though that someone put in the effort to write 'em, because they finally solved a problem for me that i couldn’t solve for years.

i guess now it’s “the communities” turn to properly document and dissect those scripts for the larger user base.

i’m certainly not angry with whoever wrote those scripts because he didn’t put in even more effort for free.

but i do get your point (i think) and agree.

Well, jeah, i usually don’t like those too much either.

But then i just open the url and read the script line for line.

I got it running on my two kubuntu 24.04 machines using the scripts described in this video:

The process was still a bit fiddly but i got all three affinity apps running now.

.psd-thumbnails work for me on ubuntu 22.04, xnview mp 1.6.1

i had problems with alpha/transparency in thumbnails which rendered them black or broken, but i’m not sure how i fixed it 🤔

i know that’s probably not really useful 😅

about 350

maybe less in the future, cause most phones are good enough already.

bitwig studio comes with tons of samples. it’s a fantastic daw.

there’s a reason a lot of ableton users switch over to bitwig.

reaper is also very good, but a bit clunky for edm/techno/etc.

i had something similar on my kubuntu/win7 dual-boot.

iirc i fixed it by disabling the powersave of my wifi-adapter.

don’t remember the exact command at the moment though. 🤔

I was hoping for a fix for the battery drain that affects all my audio-apps (spotify, musicolet, smart audiobook player, etc.)

But maybe there’s a different reason for the drain. Hmm… 🤔

What cured him?

My Pixel 6a has 6GB.

I’m very happy with it.

I think 4GB is ok but on the lower end.

8GB is plenty.

Midly infuriating spelling 🙂

i thought he used it as slang for “writing a response to correct a wrong post” 😅

but english is not my language. i’m just visiting.
