Gonna add an unsolicited recommendation here. One of the main things I held onto Amazon for was wishlisting for holidays. I’ve since migrated to giftopedia and I like it, so if you are me, give that a try.

There’s a fundamental misunderstanding; the original commenter didn’t mean to use the line-style “queue” meaning, they were using it by mistake and even admitted that in a follow-on comment. They meant “cue” by its distinct definition, not the one that overlapped with “queue” long ago. It wasn’t a spelling correction – it was a homophone correction. It wasn’t a suggestion to queue up some Mitch Hedberg on yt, it was a cue for him to enter because one of his trademark jokes is about escalators.

In case of a house fire, I’d only escape with two things: my cat and my .vimrc

Fundamental Attribution Error

It matters from a cause-and-effect standpoint, but you’re callously and self-righteously blaming their whole situation on it. That you stop trying to understand the situation at that point reveals that you’re using it as an excuse to blame peoples’ suffering exclusively on their personal choices to feel better about yourself. That completely ignores any circumstances, predatory draws, nonstandard brain chemistry, or other factors outside of their control and assume they had perfect, complete knowledge of the situation and consequences at the time – which is honestly silly.

How feasible is it to interact with your bank or other necessary services in a browser vs using the play store app? I can see LineageOS being viable if you can make such a transition.

Understanding that you probably paraphrased for brevity, it’s hard to respond with anything helpful because only you know where the goalposts of, “actually works,” are – same thing with, “reliable push messages,” and, “works for banking.” I’ve used swipe input on the native Samsung keyboard and SwiftKey and found that they work just fine, but not as good as GBoard. If you’re going from a Google-invested product to pretty much anything else, it’s likely going to be a worse user experience, so you just have to set your expectations appropriately and keep in mind that what you’re getting in return for that is intangible but important.

What have you tried so far, and how have they failed you with respect to the metrics you’ve stated?

I think Ars Technica has it wrong with that wording, the FAQ from Google support linked in that article says:

Can I still upgrade my Pixel device after 24 months?

Yes, you can still upgrade your Pixel device after 24 months, you just won’t be able to renew your subscription to Pixel Pass. You can purchase or finance your next Pixel device directly from Google Store or Google Fi Wireless, and you have the option to trade-in your current Pixel device towards your next device. Current Pixel Pass subscribers received $100 towards their next Pixel purchase good for 2 years, which can also be used alongside available promotions.

So you can upgrade your phone for the current term, but you can’t renew your subscription and upgrade again.

graft [ graft, grahft ]

1. the acquisition of money, gain, or advantage by dishonest, unfair, or illegal means, especially through the abuse of one’s position or influence in politics, business, etc.

2. a particular instance, method, or means of thus acquiring gain or advantage.

Well I’ll be. TIL!

So the idea is the fan’s function is largely encompassed by the other infrastructure – central air or heat pump, say – but they keep it there anyway because it looks nice? Alright, to each their own

I haven’t ever encountered a ceiling fan that was primarily decorative to the point it would be considered swappable with recessed lighting, where are you getting this impression?

What the actual heck, I have the exact same childhood NOPE memory of a pool with an orca mosaic. You’re the first one to validate that, none of my family remembers! I think I might have almost drowned in there too.

I would have used it but it’s only available on Pro/Enterprise versions. But that led me to finding Parsec so all ended well.

This is not a thing because that’s not a concern for developers. They make the software in whatever way they think it looks best, maybe add some accessibility options, and leave the fine-tuning to the user’s display options. It’s strange to me that you interpret this as an ideology issue for developers.

100% get out with that garbage, don’t bring that here. Be better.

Just a typo, should be “selfie”. Indicates poor quality control.

I like it for OneNote specifically; in a uni setting it’s nice to have a stylus handy to jot margin notes or drawings alongside my text input, do a non-rectangular crop on a photo I just took of the lecture slide to put in notes, or just idly doodle. Stylus pens are super smooth and gives me good brain feel when I do swooshy doodles.

Osu! mobile :)

We should probably discourage these posts here too. There seems to be a lot of content about reddit here on Lemmy sometimes… I thought it would die down.
