I think galaxies may fit the quantum atomic model better. Each galaxy as an individual building block, the nucleus being the supermassive black hole at the core, and the equivalent of electrons as a cloud around it.

  • Spectroid: what’s that sound? Do I hear that faint but annoying sound or just imagine it? With spectroid you can see the sound spectrum over time.
  • Nova launcher: Lets you cutomize the home screen of your phone and make it just right. I like my apps a bit closer together in five columns instead of four. Nova launcher let’s me do this.
  • Business calendar: it’s just so much better than the default calendar, especially if you have lots of meetings and need an information dense view.

I second nova launcher and business calendar. They’ve been staples on my phones for the past 5+ years

Love Nova Launcher! It offers so many customisation options, particularly in terms of home screen and app drawer layout, icons and fonts.

I remember a few years back when my phone was stolen (I accidentally left it in the back of an Uber) and I was forced to buy a new one. The relief I felt when I started up the new phone, signed into Google and straightaway saw my familiar home screen, courtesy of Nova Launcher.

I guess I was surprised so much was still there given I didn't do a formal backup / transfer between old and new phones, but that's the beauty of the cloud! :)

Edit: Also @distantlight, agree with Cube ACR - I have been immensely grateful having an easy way to record calls. It has a button to allow you to start and stop recording in the middle of a call so for me, it was piece of mind, especially during legal scrapes! But as another commenter has said, I feel like it stopped working at some point so no longer have it installed..

I recently found out Nova was purchased by an analytics company. I don’t have any proof or solid reason to think they’re up to no good necessarily. But I have zero desire to use something as integral as a launcher that’s owned by a company like that.

I moved to Neo Launcher and it’s been 95% as good as Nova. The knock is just some fine tunings that Nova had, but I’m not having any issues with Neo.

Find the 3 statues on the island, and rotate them so they face this room.

jeena , to showerthoughts in If everyone moved to open source non-profit solutions, the tech industry would lose billions
@jeena@jemmy.jeena.net avatar

Just because software is Free as in libre doesn’t mean it’s free as in beer. Running those services costs huge amount of money. Running enough instances of lemmy to replace reddit would cost collectively much more than the one optimized centralized service. So I guess that would translate to governments making billions of dollars in tax revenue.

sh1ggy ,

If that is the case then how is Lemmy/the Fediverse going to be financially sustainable in the long run?

OrangeCorvus ,
@OrangeCorvus@lemmy.world avatar

Donations, people always give Wikipedia as an example. You need to chip in every now and then. Wouldn’t that be better than “free” but your every click, scroll and interaction being tracked and you having an advertising profile being built in the background?

sh1ggy ,

That makes sense, but Wikipedia is one “instance” instead of hundreds. If many instances start depending on donations and you are subscribed to even just a couple of them, donating to every single one could seem a little much, right? Not trying to be negative, just starting to wrap my head around this.

jeena ,
@jeena@jemmy.jeena.net avatar

Smaller communities taking care and paying for themselves and just using federation to talk to everyone else. But yeah, I don’t think anyone has a really good answer for that yet. Everyone is against advertisement here and any other way of financing other than donations. Donations work well as long as the admins have fun with their work and are willing to do it for free.

What are the chances that the instance owners join together and buid a cartel or corporation. Then sells our data.

jeena ,
@jeena@jemmy.jeena.net avatar

Fairly little right now, right now nobody cares about lemmy. They don’t need to sell your data because all the data on the fediverse, especially /kbin and lemmy is available for free via the API to everyone to take. Nobody would pay for it.

Thunder_Caulk ,

Besides the unsettling idea that we are like a message board in public display. It’s good to know that our data are somewhat immune to being monetized. .

bobs_monkey ,

We are never immune to being monetized. I guarantee right now there are MBA chucklefucks who’s jobs are hinging on finding a way to monetize the fediverse, and then implement it. Meta is working on the right now. The question is how do we defend our spaces from corporate bullshit.

gogosempai OP ,
@gogosempai@programming.dev avatar

Infra cost isn’t as high. A company reaping a billion in profit yearly would be spending around 10-20M only on infra (my previous company had 100M users and this is the estimate from that). So a nonprofit would just seek funds for infra and dev cost. Of course, it all depends on the kind of platform. But how about people embracing FOSS? Switching to Linux from Windows, to LibreOffice from O365, to GrapheneOS/LineageOS from Android, to Firefox from Chrome, that sort of thing. It’d be a drastic blow to the revenue of these companies. What people used to pay for earlier, they’d not be paying anymore. Maybe this would translate to other things like the cost of laptops and mobile phones rising because manufacturers will no longer be incentivised from software companies.

Photon , to showerthoughts in what if solar systems are synonymous to atoms in that they are the minute building blocks of something greater?

The biggest issue with this idea is the speed of light. Atoms participate in a lot of interactions because subatomic particles act nearly instantaneously. There are millions of interactions occurring within a single proton at any given moment, with various virtual particles annihilating one another. Even if you increased the time scale, space is extremely large and there just wouldn't be a lot happening in a solar system. There would be slight perturbations in orbits, and the sun would go through cycles quickly, but it's extremely stable when compared to an atom.

Then if you look on a galaxy-wide perspective, the actions within the solar system are irrelevant to most of the galaxy. It would take a hundred thousand years for even the sun burning out to register, and more than likely it wouldn't even matter for any other solar systems in our area.

Then if you look beyond galaxies, it's mostly just the intergalactic medium being siphoned one way or the other, with only the random movement of galaxies determining anything.

Atoms have the weak and strong nuclear forces, as well as electromagnetism to create the complexity of the universe. Solar systems have little else but gravity, constrained by incredible distances even on the scale of the speed of light.

Joplin. Organise your notes into notebooks and you can also write them in markdown. You can also save your notes encrypted and syhcronise them with the cloud to have them in all of your devices. Joplin is available in all Operating Systems. Also supposts Nextcloud so it can be self-hosted!

Automated_Footprint ,
@Automated_Footprint@sh.itjust.works avatar

What do you think about replacing Samsung notes with this? S notes have everything I need but I think the text formattings in it aren’t markdown.

Swaglordmusclewizard ,

I’m not a Joplin user, but I use Obsidian which is similar as it’s also in markdown and notes are saved locally or hosted with encryption.

I’d say either app is better than the stock note-taking apps. I’ve been using Google Keep prior.

I’m biased since I only use Obsidian but I love it, been a power user for a month now.

Feel free to check both out! The link below is what I just searched for and learned about Joplin.

I’d add Tasker to that list, even if some of the functionality requires root. It’s actually insane how powerful Tasker is.

Syncthing, I setup synchronisation between my PC and phone in apps that have bad built-in synchronisation or don’t have it at all, e.g. for PPSSPP: I am able to have my save files for games synchronised and keep playing a videogame on phone just where I left it off on my PC

Satou ,

How about the battery drain on the phone? I tried to use it once to sync my notes but it didn’t work out well in terms of battery drain

MantisWaffle ,

Did you measure that empirically? Gsam indicates it only accounts around 1% of battery drain.

AnOrangeBabbler ,

+1 for sure! I used it to sync my Obsidian Vault between devices, phone included. It’s very useful if you want the same folder in multiple places.

aaaggglll ,

On my phone at least, when I have autorotate off and tilt the screen, an icon appears next to my back button that will rotate the screen. Which sounds to me like the goal of this app.

SeeJayEmm ,
@SeeJayEmm@lemmy.procrastinati.org avatar

There’s an accessibility option that can do this but it’s inconsistent at best for me.

midorikusa ,

I don’t know about other brands but Samsung does have a small icon in the bottom corner prompting this when I rotate my phone yeah. Ignore it if not needed. Very useful.

It is built into Android proper meaning most phones should be able to do it

SpermKiller ,

Yes but I think many people don't know it exists and how to use it. For those who don't know : rotate your phone and a little rotating phone will appear next to your "go back" button. Just click it.

It would also probably help if everyone starts taking interesting links and content from Reddit and posting it to Lemmy. It's an easy way to boost Lemmy's content.
