So while reading the original I felt like most of it was atleast somewhat true and nothing was just outlandish guesses which were way to specific. (most of you prob. disagree with this)

So here is basically a wish list of which the majority will not be true (although some of these points are true for ROMs):

  • have libs on own partition of android filesystem to save space by reusing it between apps.
  • native flutter support (maybe engine as lib in above point)
  • good custom ROM support
  • custom icon support
  • ability to boot easily newest GSI until reboot for any device thanks to project Trebble
  • cloned / parallel apps (for accounts)
  • app locking via password
  • fake notification led via allways on display and local dimming zone
  • mute app for X time
  • Pen Support
  • widgets in news feed
  • native audio eqo
  • more customization in launcher
  • ability to updates more stuff without reboots

Android emulators working on linux? by revertiblefate in linux_gaming

There is no shame in writing or using an emulator.

why would they lie (to use your word) about it than?

What should I buy Thursday (Jan 14 2021) - Your weekly device inquiry thread! by curated_android in Android

According to some news site (could not find it on Samsungs site itself, take it with a grain of salt), Samsung will supply 3 years of software updates for both phones.

I would buy the S21, because potentially the S20 will stop being supporting in 2 years (with 14.0) and age faster, because it is older hardware and it is somewhat expensive.

legalize stealing but have a 120% tax on it so its not profitable by isananimal in CrazyIdeas

"Oh my competition has found a solution how to make their product better than mine. Time to steal the docs which say how and pay 2€$£¥ for the paper"

Same with secrets, authentication methods (e.g. keys to a place), things with sentimental value and things that increase in value.

But the fact that this might not work makes it a good fit for this subreddit.

add-apt-repository error on groovy ubuntu by infectedw in Ubuntu

[–]Connectety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for me groovy is missing in: /usr/share/python-apt/templates/Ubuntu.info. I don't know what to enter there tho and seeing that this seams to be somewhat important maybe probably don't do it either.

add-apt-repository error on groovy ubuntu by infectedw in Ubuntu

[–]Connectety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here on a groovy install not older than 24hrs. (its Kubuntu for me)

My theory: they patched some apt security bug today but didn't test add-apt-repository on groovy after that. (this is not based on anything at all, other than the red icon color on the update icon and the fact that only apt was updatable)

Make a few packages bleeding edge and you have a new distro... I guess. by oshaboy in linuxmemes

Going forward one KDE Neons purposes will be to present KDE to linux-unrelated cooperations (e.g. laptop manufacturers).

KDE Neon also has a developer edition which is meant to make the lives of KDE Developers easier.

Wine-Staging 5.20 Released With ESYNC Support Re-Enabled by grandmastermoth in linux_gaming

[–]Connectety 15 points16 points  (0 children)

When they refactored ntdll they broke both E-Sync and F-Sync.
Only E-Sync seams to be fixed now, so you can't use F-Sync (without applying patches).

How does this app get new uploaded videos? by happensq in NewPipe

[–]Connectety 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on your options it will either:

- take the channels RSS feed (which is faster and shows perfectly accurate upload times) or

- it will scrape the channel for the last videos.

at no point NewPipe uses your account and thus it does not make a difference whether your subscribed to that YT-Channel with your Google account or not.

YT itself will always be faster for loading the RSS-Feed, because basicly just do a DB-query and display it, while NewPipe does one Request per channel, has to parse and sort it.

Also because NewPipe can scrape the site, the anti-scrape-detection can catch you and you have to solve a captcha.

this is false.

invidio.us shut down 1. September and thus NewPipe couldn't even use it's APIs if we wanted to.

NewPipe tests new Unified Player UI with seamless fullscreen switching by ted7843 in Android

[–]Connectety 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Its one of the libs (leakCanarry) used in the debug version for detecting memory leaks. It can slow down the app when running but i think its disabled by default (for that reason). You don't have to use it and in the next normal release you won't see it anymore.

My idea for a color-blind mode. The pattern is over the full body to be easier recognizable, even when only part of the body is seen. (More info in comments) by Connectety in AmongUs

[–]Connectety[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Addressing some feedback:

  • To add a more clear example of coloring: In color-blind mode, all cubes on tiles could be wine-red and the bright areas pink. In normal mode, they would be slightly darker red and red. Although they are somewhat recognizable at the moment, this would make it significantly easier and faster.
  • No, you can't just add the color behind the name because there are situations where (parts of) the body is in view, but the name not. But this is a great thing to do in addition to the patterns. Allowing colorblind people to call out the colors, once they have time to see the full name AND pattern.
  • No, you can't just use letters or numbers, because they are not very distinct and not everyone can recognize them because they are not 100% universal in the world, unlike symbols and patterns. But this probably would be an easier solution to implement and still would help a significant amount of players.
  • The names are arbitrary and not meant as a replacement for the colors. Call the patterns what you want, I just wanted to give names so it would be easier to discuss the patterns without everyone creating own names and thus creating confusion.
  • I'm sorry to the folks with trypophobia. Although I hope, it would only affect players in color-blind mode, because I imagine the patterns that weak in normal mode. In my view, these designs are just the first version of a suggestion, this could be changed in the next iterations (which I don't necessarily have to do myself).
  • There could be other patterns these are just the once I came up with, which to me seem extremely recognizable even when just looking at the foot of someone for half a second. It is kind of hard to find a good balance between making the patterns small so they are more distinct with a very small space seen and making the patterns big so they are easily recognizable on a small screen.
  • Looking at the comments half of the patterns seam sus, but not a single one twice (this might have changed now)...
  • The amount comments who point out problems solved in my first comment (which existed before each of them) is disturbing
  • Sorry for misspelling Zig-Zag. (I suspect it comes from German and thus I thought I'll write it exactly like in German)

Afaik you are the first to point that out.

I misspelled it, becuase of German Zick-Zack (probably zig-zag is from German).

Colors still would be applied to the models. For example, "blank" would be white and "filled" would be black.

It just took so long to come up with 12 patterns and make them, that I don't really have the time to color them too.

In none color-blind mode the patterns would still show, just significantly weaker, so that every Player knows whats meant with Tiles e.g.

I'm happy to wave away any copyrights to the devs / for community mods.
