That’s what we genuinely don’t know. Based on the standard model, it should be in equal parts.

Oops responded to the wrong comment

My personal idea/hope is that there is some other dimension of spacetime over which the big bang had directionality, emitting matter and antimatter across different poles, and that’s why. That’d also mean there’s an anti-universe, which is why I like the idea.

In terms of the galaxies, I believe there’s enough of an observable difference that I think we would be able to detect antimatter clusters, or similar, based on emission lines but I’m not 100% on that. Huge annihilation events from colliding galaxies and clusters would have massive energy signatures unlike anything else but the frequency of this would determine how likely it would be to see the evidence.

The stars and planets, yes, but there is a lot of very diffuse gas that does collide

Sounds like you were engaging in whataboutism and that was the problem

As someone who just switched to an Xperia as it’s one of the few phones that still has a headphone jack, NFC, and microSD slot, this sucks. The software support is the biggest problem IMO because the rest is great.

slurp ,

I miss my G6 a lot - easily the phone I was most happy with. Sadly, mine had battery issues years ago.

Why do I love the phones of (potentially) soon to be dying (phone divisions of) companies? I should ask a therapist.

Sony is shifty with their PlayStation practices but their phones are genuinely good - seems like they are closer with the camera part of the business, which is pretty well liked from what I understand. The software support (or lack of) is the main issue but the hardware is clearly made by people that care (although apparently not enough about overheating on the IV series).

slurp ,

Some Asian markets don’t use it, so there are some exceptions. This becomes important when the other requirements filter it down so much (but this was more of a problem a few years ago).

slurp ,

There are but they are not reliable, even from reputable companies. I had both the ones I tried break very quickly, and moved back to requiring a headphone jack after that.

slurp ,

I have had similar issues with USB-C ports but avoid wireless charging as it often causes damage to the battery via excess heating (particularly if not perfectly aligned). I’d give up a 3.5mm jack for a redundant USB-C.

slurp ,

I had that only when they got damaged, but they easily get damaged

Sony Xperia 1V

slurp ,

It’s very good but very expensive and the software support is not defined (but previous ones have been 2 years of security updates, which is terrible). I’m hoping Lineage OS will extend the usefulness or I may regret it. I couldn’t find another phone that had microSD and headphone jack that I wanted.

Any app suggestions for expenditure tracking for splitting travel payments?

I’m thinking of logging travel expenditures with a group of people, where different ones can pay bills for the group (or maybe part of the group). It would be the best if you can see how much the group or a person spent, how much you need to pay whom back at the end of a trip....

I moved from Splitwise to Splid. I wish I had a FOSS alternative too.

Heliboard isn’t perfect but is an openboard fork that has spell check, is getting active development, and is on F-droid. There’s even a correction sensitivity setting. It’s the first time I’ve been able to move away from Swiftkey.

slurp ,

Ah sorry, I missed a bit in your post - it’s correction during typing only. Upping this setting could help but I suspect you want something else

I’ve used a larger version for cold brew in the past and it worked well. It was a bit annoying to clean out but cold brew batches arent every morning so it was fine.

My preference is now an aeropress with a fabric filter. I use this above a metal filter with the Prismo attachment (metal to stop the fabric clogging the valve). The fabric circle is small enough to be easy to clean, freeze and thaw. I usually only rinse it (much easier with a small flat disk) before chucking it in the freezer but I use Cafitza to clean it every few months to remove any built up oils (just gotta give it a few soaks in boiling water afterwards to ensure its not holding on to the cleaning agent!).

I loved Lego Island but will never forgive Lego Island 2 for the bad disk that would crash after 3/4 of the game. I never got to finish it.

Rock Raiders & Lego Loco were great (if a little inadvisable in terms of the Lego Loco letters).

This comment from A7pr8 seems to suggest it is possible to modify the apk via Lucky Patcher, which hopefully would then work on a non-rooted phone:

You can’t just send the app from your rooted device. When you mod the app on a rooted device only .odex file will be patched not the .apk file.

You need to rebuild .apk to be able to share it and the the other device should also has luckypatcher for it to work.

Simply when you patch an app use the option create modified .apk or rebuild it from “rebuild & install” in the bottom bar.

Just to offer an alternative viewpoint, because I have come across these issues and ended up buying a Sony phone because I had such a bad time without the 3.5mm headphone socket.

Some people want more internal storage than even 512gb - I have a 400gb microSD in my phone because with the OS and apps getting bigger, even a large internal storage can fill up fast. Also, it’s nice to have media collections, photos, and other files with you, rather than relying on data and cloud storage, and the cost is now very low for a large microSD. It’s also easier to transfer large amounts of data between devices that way.

As for headphones, dongles are a pain and USB headphones have to have a (usually not great) DAC in them to work, plus many people already have great headphones they want to keep using. All of that said, the biggest issue with USB headphones IMO is that there is only one USB port - the wear and tear of using it for everything is significant. Also, USB-C plugs are much more breakable and harder to replace than a 3.5mm jack. Additionally, you cannot charge and listen at the same time without a dongle and many of those are bad (none of the ones I have tried have worked for more than a few weeks before connectivity issues started).

slurp ,

Yeah, it’s not cool. However, the Xperia phones up to series iii all have LineageOS releases, which can extend the life, and I’m hoping it comes to the later series as those get to EOL. They absolutely should have better official support though.

slurp ,

I’d have jumped on one of those if it had a microSD slot

slurp ,

I use MiX, which has a “Search local” option when adding SMB, which sounds like what you’re after

slurp ,

I don’t know about your scenario but I recently started using Insular to manage separating my work apps on my phone and that’s been great

slurp ,

Can you find some group therapy? You may find it beneficial to be with others who have similar troubles in a caring and understanding situation. It sounds like you have had some bad luck socially, which makes it easy/tempting to shut the world out, so learning to be open with others and to deal with difficult subjects with them may be beneficial to you in ways that one-on-one therapy cannot offer. It can also be helpful hearing others voicing their problems, as those may be things that affect you in ways you hadn’t considered before too.

slurp ,

Good luck! It’ll be strange at first but it is worth sticking it out until you have settled a bit

slurp ,

That’s great! That is a scary thing to do, so way to go
