Poor choice of colours: distinguishing between the orange of 2025 and the red of 2040 is very hard, especially considering most people will read this on a small phone screen.

$1 would be overpriced

Simple games don’t need internet access. Can’t you block network connection for that app?

A better option even is getting something like what BurnedOliveTree@lemmy.world suggested, or this other one https://f-droid.org/packages/org.moire.opensudoku/ or this other one https://f-droid.org/packages/org.secuso.privacyfriendlysudoku/

I don’t believe the small phone gang is small, we just have one option: a pretty expensive iPhone mini.

I want a small phone but not an iPhone, I have no option therefore manufactures assume I want a humongous phone. That’s flawed logic.

I want a smaller smartphone but not an iPhone. It’s sad that Apple is the only manufacturer still producing reasonable sized phones. Small phone gang unite and push for other manufacturers to follow Apple on this one!

The fact that you can use bangs in DDG is so powerful that I don’t understand why not more people use it as their main search engine. The few times when it’s not good enough just add the !g after your search (it doesn’t even need to be before) and get redirected to Google.

Sorry, I don’t use Android Auto so I don’t know about this feature. You could check on their GitHub page and even open an issue if there is no support.

I am sorry to hear that. I don’t personally use Android Auto, so that’s a situation I’m not familiar with. I am also sorry to see people downvoting your comment just because you report a bad experience, that doesn’t help anyone.

I would recommend opening an issue about it on the project page in GitHub. Another advantage of FOSS apps is that developers are usually easer to reach for feedback and support, although I must say I don’t have experience with the AntennaPod developers.

Good news: you never needed Google Podcasts to begin with. Antenna Pod is a Free Open Source app that won’t track your every move and just works.

I saw a couple of Delvoye’s Cloacas in a museum years ago (he has built several models, the first using a washing machine as “stomach”, if I recall correctly).

I recall reading that the purpose of the work was to show how one can put a lot of effort into something (he really worked on making it as close as possible to physiological human digestion) but in the end the result can be shit.

It’s time for Lou Reed’s Metal Machine Music to shine.

It would be great, but a big problem that I see with a new, completely different OS is… the apps.

If a new OS not based on Android launches tomorrow, it will have no 3rd party apps, and it will be very hard to catch momentum without WhatsApp, Youtube, Netflix, Spotify, TikTok, Facebook, Twitter X (🙄), Uber… all of those apps that most people use their phone for 90% of the time.

I just installed Infinity for Lemmy and it looks pretty good so far. It’s still at Avery early stage, but it has the nice look & fell of Infinity for Reddit.

I had a discussion some time ago in Reddit with someone who argued that Spain is not western Europe, but Germany is. They even provided links and it seems that geopolitically it is considered like that, but having lived in Spain and Germany and in between I think barely anyone raised there would say so

Indeed
