Ok, that is pretty bad. As mentioned, I’ve had it happen once. I use the app search function a lot, which I’ve set to the swipe up gesture, and it just stopped working that day. Had to find a way to force reset the launcher. Having that happen every 2-3 days to multiple times a day would be a dealbreaker for me.
I think this is more tied with advertising analytics, but I share the same opinion. I don’t love it, but it’s not a killer. The fediverse tends to attract a more idealistic and paranoid crowd, which I don’t think is reflective of how most people are.
Hmm, I’ve had it happen once, thought it was odd. Are you on a Samsung too, like the other comment? How often does it happen?
Honestly, don’t care. Until it gets shitty (which it still has a good chance of doing so), I’ll continue to use it.
Ah, right, I don’t have AI on my phones. Can’t you just ignore them though?
Despite this community’s paranoia, I still use Nova. Can’t find anything that works as well yet.
Disclaimer that I bought the pro version for 99 cents way way back, so I’ve gotten my mileage out of that.
Also if you don’t mind Microsoft, the MS launcher isn’t too bad too. I’m using that on the work phone.
Huh, I’ve always updated and there’s usually not much change. There are some minor ones but they don’t affect my day-to-day. The biggest ones the major version changes, but even then it’s usually a new font or some minor display tweak more than anything. I haven’t felt like it’s been disruptive.
Soon as I saw Walton Goggins on the cast list, I knew it had to be good somewhere. He never disappoints.
Just wanted to chime in as well: Thought I’d watch one episode, watched all eight in the end. It was really good.
Technically, it’s easier, because there were 0 in the past. :P But yes, the variety of choice is dazzling!
Late to this, but you can’t call tactiles “brown” anymore; ever since Cherry’s patent expired some 10 years ago the market has exploded. Right now I’m typing on a franken tester board with some 30 tactiles of different make and model, and I barely have scratched 20% of the tactile switches available on the market, by my estimation.
What are the keyboards she is using now? Did she express any preferences about them? What typewriter is she using?
Budget and location might make things a little tight, HMRC really loves collecting their due.

Game doesn’t even sound like it needs to be an MMO, which makes me wary. Actually, “Star Citizen-level ambition” is all that I need to run away from it.
One man’s bloatware is another man’s feature.
At a tech-based non-profit I worked at, we got a lot of donated stuff, including a number of 34" ultrawides. I ended up liking them more than I expected. I think they’ll be fine for gaming, provided your GPU can deal with the resolution.
Do you think I can get away wih just a GPU + PSU upgrade, or would the 2600x cause too great a bottleneck at target resolution/details/fps to ignore?
Absolutely; upgrades are about maximising frames per $ spent. Does it give you a significant boost while avoiding the cost of a new PC? I actually went with a GTX 1070 on an Intel i7 920 for a few years before I upgraded to a new PC with a 3700x. I got a 20% boost in FPS on average, but the old combination still worked well for the games I was playing.
Can’t root, breaking Safetynet destroys about 30% of what I use my phone for.
Might be weeks even, this sort of thing really can’t be predicted at the very early stages.
Like I’ve said elsewhere, the fediverse tends to have a lot of paranoid zealots. It’s a bit offputting really.
