I’m nearing two years into using it as my daily driver and I would 100% not want to go back. Graphene does everything I need.

I think my wife paid for that one, then I bought her the CD.

I haven’t used it in the past few months, I’ll definitely give it another try though.

Edit: Oh, yeah this is a bit different. I like the new prompt asking if it’s extended or desktop. I will definitely have to play with it a bit more, I had tossed it to the back of my brain as a ‘well it exists’ feature.

It works okay, but not great for me. I toss my phone on one of my old laptops docking station at work, but some apps like to force a shit resolution. It is pretty neat having them in moveable windows though.

Its something closer to 400% of the federal minimum wage and more like 600% of what some states have on the books. Minimum wage has barely moved since I was in high school.

In a normal byte format it wouldn’t help, the byte standard breaks off bits into 8 bit chunks and calls them bytes (I’m not trying to explain basics, just putting it there for background), little-endian excels at using the least number of bits to express larger numbers in a stream. If you wanted to send any number from 0-255 you only need 1 byte, for 256-512 you need two bytes (or 16 bits), in little-endian it can be represented in just 9 bits, or up to 1024 in 10 bits, etc.

Doesn’t matter for much to many people, but when the number gets big enough you can save a lot of bandwidth.

I think you missed the point, that I was making, albeit poorly (little endian still requires leading zeros when not transmitting in a byte format, otherwise you don’t know if the first on signal is for 1, 256, 1024, etc.) it’s all good though

I’m not seeing any trailing zeros if that is in little endian, you start little end first and it isn’t limited to a silly 8-bits, it can be used to represent numbers far larger than 255 if continued (though then it wouldn’t be representative of a byte and half the joke would be lost).

Little-endian for the win!

I usually just gather a nibble by picking up a couple crumbs… I’ll see myself out.

Napping. Not everyone understands the fun that can be had.

I’m sure a successor will come around when room forms for them, I don’t know of a reason any of the core *arr stack should need one. If you know of one don’t hesitate to share, I’m just not really aware of any, they are awesome to me.

Odd way to phrase it, but I totally agree.

I would have been a bit more specific, but it applies to all of them (they aren’t the reason I don’t trust Google either).

Sadly I’m not completely switched away yet, I’m doing the best I can with the sacrifices I’m willing to make and accepting what I can’t. I run GOS on a pixel, it has GPS but severely locked down, most apps get denied the network permission and pretty much nothing has access to any data outside of limited storage scopes or the minimum contacts (i.e. Android Auto can only see two contacts in my phone and can’t see any SMS/messaging).

Beyond that I do the usual Google replacements (Nextcloud for files/seedvault backups, immich for photo backups, CoMaps instead of Google Maps, etc).

I yern for the day I can have an old flip phone with a hotspot built in for a few apps on other devices (or bt tethering).

America isn’t the reason I don’t use Google Play Services… Google is the reason for that specific choice for me.

Personally when I need something and have seen an ad for a product that fits the need, I’ll buy it. If I’ve seen the ad so much that it’s seared into my brain, I search for the product and buy the ripoff version of it (when possible), or I DIY it.

Edit: corrected autocorrect

I’d say it says more about the listener in that situation. GIMP is a great name for a GNU Image Manipulation Program, just like Fanny Pack perfectly describes a bag worn around the waist but you’d be surprised the looks you get in the UK for not calling it a “Bum Bag” instead.

The people the immediately assume it must have to do with sexual fetishes (or make that connection) just aren’t as familiar with what the rest of the world has been up to.

When I realized they paywalled OIDC I had to look elsewhere.

I don’t think I’ve played a Baulders Gate game in a long time, as long as they include Drizzt I’ll be happy. Well, maybe also Minsc (had to Google his name)… “Make way evil, I’m armed to the teeth and packing a hamster!” still randomly pops into my head

As a current one I concur.
