I had a pixel 6 pro and was going to upgrade to the 8 pro when it came out, but the leaks seemed to indicate that they were gonna have the same modem/connectivity issues which was my biggest complaint about the 6 pro. My carrier (Google Fi) was running a crazy deal on Galaxy phones so I decided fuck it and got the 23 plus (I don’t care for a stylus). Holy shit it’s night and day, the amount of stuff that just genuinely works is such a breath of fresh air. My wireless android auto “just works” my galaxy watch “just works”, setting everything up worked the first try. My fingerprint reader is way better. Apps crash less, samsung health is pretty cool (no extra subscription). I was a little leery of all the Samsung “bloatware” (I’ve been hearing all bad stuff since the TouchWiz days), but honestly almost everything is better than the Google version. The noteable exception is the keyboard, for whatever reason my autocorrect on Gboard seems to be way better. I was nervous I’d miss the pixel call blocking stuff, but apparently Bixby also does it so I haven’t noticed any spam calls since switching.

TL;DR: galaxy S23 is super dope, if you can get it on a deal I’d highly recommend it.

At least from everything I’ve read they’ve thought about migration and will actually let you use RSS, I was worried they weren’t going to add that functionality to youtube music

ISO dates are the goat because they string compare correctly. Just yesterday I shaved 2 full seconds off a page transition by removing a date parse in the middle of a hot sorting loop. Everything should use ISO in my opinion.

I finally gave up on rcs and I’m on beeper now. I had one or two friends that it just never works with and there is no way to disable it per conversation so I was unable to talk to just those people. Hopefully when beeper adds rcs soon it’ll be better.

I can’t overstate how big of a fan I am! There are certainly a few rough edges (particularly with attachments and gifs for text convos) but other than that it’s been great. I use the iMessage integration but only with one friend cause I’ve been nervous to rely on it. The devs are really good at communicating when there is an outage which gives me a lot of confidence.

Has anyone else been trying to break their reddit-era habit of downvoting?

I used to downvote fairly often on Reddit as a sign to disagree or to push down really disgusting bigoted comments. And to be honest, it became a habit to just downvote without replying. However, now that I’m on lemmy and not Reddit I’ve been actively trying to not instantly downvote things and instead move on or take the...

I dislike using downvote as a disagree button. Makes me feel like I’m discouraging people from sharing an opinion that’s different than mine. Even if they are wrong (in good faith) I think I’d rather they feel it is a safe place to be wrong and just own the mistake with an edit or a reply. I know it makes me feel bad (I know I should have thicker skin) when I’m downvoted for having an opinion so I don’t want to make others feel that way.

The thank you for your patience one has always rubbed me wrong. There’s honor in apologizing in my opinion. I do like the making a mistake one though and I’ve tried to adopt that mentality when I’m working with QA on something I’ve merged. I want them to feel good about finding the mistakes and I want to avoid an adversarial relationship. I’ve learned that I get way better tickets from QA if they like how I treat them. Treat them like valuable experts and they’ll act like valuable experts.

Maybe this is a naive take but what exactly is meta supposed to be embracing extending and extinguishing? Mastodon isn’t some huge community that they’re trying to consume. Facebook has a really good track record of contributing to the FOSS community (react et al). Don’t get me wrong I dislike meta as much as the next guy but maybe there’s something good that could come out of it. I’d like it if it was a mainstream entry into the fediverse.

I quite like it, my only complaint is that the Android auto support is not great. It seems to lose track of what podcast I’m playing s lot of the time. The customization and queueing features are great though.
