Just so you know, The Sun is a truly shitty horrible, lying rag of a paper - if you’re not from the UK, you wouldn’t know of course, so no criticism, just FYI 🙂

Ooh, I didn’t know about that, thanks for the heads up! So much better! 😁

Thanks, good to know it hasn’t caused issues for many people, at least. Never tried Grapheme maybe it’s time to give it a shot 😁

Yeah, I mean it’s not that things are outlandishly big, but the text on, for example, the BBC News app, or Sync for Lemmy are both now noticeably smaller than before and the battery, wifi and mobile data icons are noticeably larger (plus larger than the app icons at the other end of the notification bar).

Adjusting scaling to sort one issue tends to exacerbate the other.

I’ll just need to play around with it until I find a compromise. Such a pain! 😁

Pixel 6 Pro here. Glad it’s not had a widespread effect. Very annoying, but I’ll just have to adjust individual app settings to try and find a happy compromise.

I use Total too - I wouldn’t say it’s quite 1:1 as it’s not as intuitive, but in terms of customisability, it’s amazing.

Yep - and I recall arguing at the time with one of the Nova people sent to Reddit to try and sell us on the idea that everything was just fine, and nothing would change, and hey, look over there, a huge distracting thing…

It was bullshit then, and so it’s proved. What a waste of a truly exceptional launcher.

No problem 😁

Agreed, that’s exactly what I do too - I use icon swipe all the time though, so I’m confused why you don’t have it.

Admittedly, I swipe folder icons rather than individual apps, but it definitely works, here’s a quick video (link lives for 2 days): https://streamable.com/liybvg

EDIT - looking again, I can’t set swipes on individual app icons either, just the folder icons. Weird, never noticed that before!

It’s a live wallpaper maker, it’s really good - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.kustom.wallpaper

I use Total Launcher - it has up and down swipe gestures but also left and right. It’s a bit of a learning curve, much less intuitive than Nova was at its peak, but very customisable.

That’s amazing!

Bloody toddlers! 😁

It was. Still felt dumb though 😁

Loved my S3. Broke the screen when I leaned against a wall to help my toddler climb down and heard a crack from my trouser pocket 😨

I managed (entirely through text) to talk my 70 year old mother through transferring her Signal account from one phone to another. It really wasn’t that difficult.

Agreed. I’ve been following along with Firefox’s belated, but very welcome development on PWAs for FF on desktop.

I’m not technical at all, so I can’t comment on specifics, but as an end user, I LOVE using PWAs for email, calendar, Teams, etc, rather than the app. Unfortunately I still use Chrome for them but once FF gets it sorted I’ll aim to move away completely.

Thanks, yeah, I was looking at that earlier. Very cool idea, and looks pretty well put together.

Yeah, I saw that with the keyboard, that’s super slick. I’m not in the market for a laptop right now, but if I was, I’d definitely be tempted! Thanks for the info on stability 👍

That looks so unstable, with just that small back rest holding the whole thing up. I’m sure it’s better than it looks, but wow.

They could speed up image sharing by reverting to the old share within Photos functionality that was three taps faster than the new version, and by removing the utterly pointless “Image already in conversation” restriction.

That’s a shame, I like that it asks which kind of note you want. Most notes I make are in the form of checklists, and the choice of format when starting a new note felt much more convenient than opening a note and then having to turn it into a list afterwards.

Does this mean he’s staying at Anfield?Fingers crossed!

Ha, fair enough 😁👍

No, I think it was right the first time :-)

Great. Now remove the restriction on sharing a photo with someone if it’s “already in this conversation”.

Yes, I may well have shared it before. Yes, I now want to share it again. Why is that a problem?

Likewise. Not one minute.

My favourite line is the one about how FIFA has “learned its lessons” from Qatar.

The lessons being, apparently, to make the same idiotic, money-grabbing choices as before, with no regard for fan culture, human rights, or even basic morality.

Fuck FIFA.

His name is Dr Tobias Fünke.

Four, I think. So a mooch can also be known as a quartruss.

You mean will it last longer than Liz Truss?

Yeah, Scotland did me a favour by not qualifying, making it much easier to resist watching.

Presumably they had similar moral objections to the hosts of 2002, 2006, 2010, 2014 and 2018… That must be it, right? 😞

They might not be found guilty. Hell, depending on the specifics of the case and the wording of the rules, they might not even BE guilty (at least technically).

And if they are found guilty, we don’t know what the punishment will be. It could be any of the things you say won’t happen.

Although clearly for a lot of people nothing will be viewed as enough of a punishment.

Just because the hearing has finished does not mean that there’s a conclusion yet. Having heard all evidence it’ll now need to be considered in its entirety and written up into a final decision, plus any potential penalties.

You don’t say that a jury trial is dodgy if there’s not a guilty verdict and sentencing within 5 minutes of closing arguments.

Which is what happens when refs decide to warn people instead of just follow the laws of the game. It’s so frustrating!

I have seen it enforced once and only once. It was the last minute of a preseason friendly, and cost my team a 1-0 lead, as the other team scored (indirectly) from the resulting free kick. I couldn’t believe the ref would choose then to apply a rule so commonly ignored.

What a season for Forest, after some pretty bad ones in recent years. Great to see them back up among the best.

He did it twice.

The first time it was to Liverpool fans, in response to them chanting “You’re getting sacked in the morning”. It was all entirely good natured banter to my eye - he had already chuckled at the song and turned to have a wee dig back at them, still smiling. All in good fun, despite some people in the media and social trying to make it out to be something more confrontational.

The second time was after full time, when he went over to the City fans, and although I didn’t see it at the time, I think it was really just a sign of “we’ve achieved so much, don’t be downhearted, we’ll be back,” etc.

Loved that. He’d have looked a bit daft if he’d missed though :-)

Dav Macgyver’s Photo Editor is pretty solid for that sort of thing. Not FOSS as far as I know, but very good. Used it for about 10 years now.
