Cloudless ☼

I always go back to Kiss Launcher after trying other launchers. With a huge amount of apps, there is no point trying to organise the icons. Nothing beats typing the first letter and launch.

Why won’t they implement this on phones too?

Less is more unless fewer less is no more no less.

Yeah it is grammatically correct but most people would say “less than 5 minutes ago” or “less than 50 seconds”, instead of using “fewer than”.

Your post is fewer than 60 minutes old.

Time to add iPadOS EU.

Edit: just found out that iPadOS will NOT allow 3rd party browser engines. Crazy!

“The Chinese computer manufacturer Lenovo has been sentenced in the USA to pay USD 3.5 m as a fine for installing malware and adware (Superfish) on its laptops without informing its customers. By doing so, Lenovo committed the offence of computer break-in, as it wilfully undermined the security of its computers for users and made them vulnerable to cyber attacks.”

You are probably going to say “but those are Lenovo laptops, not Motorola phones”.

Lenovo owns Motorola. If you want to trust the company feel free to do so.

I am never going to buy a phone from a company with strong ties with the CCP, and a history of installing spyware on its products.

I stand corrected. Based on the post title I was thinking that he wanted his own rules. But reading his post again he might actually be trying to get answers.

Create your own instance and community.

Your cat gets more upvotes. He knows the social media game.

Because Android multitasking is inefficient with memory use.

My Palm Pilot had 512 kB of RAM and it could multi-task properly. When I re-open an app on Palm, I could always get back to EXACTLY where it was left off. Palm OS saves the app state before swapping it out of the RAM.

Android apps have to completely restart from fresh after being closed. It multi-tasks by keeping apps running in memory. But you are never going to have enough RAM for the apps if you use a variety of apps.

Samsung’s RAM Plus does something similar, but the apps are not designed to be efficient for virtual memory.

Yeah keep that mindset and follow Blockbuster’s fate.

I hope the cat in the movie will look more natural than the one in the game.

In the game, the animation looks great. I’m sure they took a lot of effort with the motion capture.

But there is something weird about the cat’s face. It just doesn’t look like a cat, no realistically, not cartoonish either. Perhaps some adjustment in the facial modelling will help.

It is a failure of the manager if the subordinates’ work is only measured by hours worked but not with the KPIs. High-quality work by smart employees are much more valuable than employees who work slowly in front of the computer and making lots of mistakes costing the company more money at the end.

Objection! There is some contradiction in your statement. How do you tell they are already failing to do their job, if you say that their productivity is hard to gauge? If they deliver the expected results, why does it matter that they spend time planning their vacation?

If the employee is already found to be useless, the company can fire them without data from the tracking.

I avoid duplicate topics in my subscriptions, unless I am especially interested in a particular topic.

Can’t you either pay or use another service?

Whether Apple or Google collects/abuse more data, I’m not sure.

But I prefer iOS’s design for app security. iOS apps are more restricted than Android apps in general, and when iOS apps require permissions they prompt clearly.

Most Android apps seem to have excessive permissions by default. The Play Store is a mess and the “Data safety” section is worse than useless, with scammers self-declaring the apps as “no data collected”.
