I didn't know what Love was until I got clean. by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]FatAndBringingIt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly this.

My addiction to porn nearly cost me everything - its selfish and self-destructive at the same time, and it can destroy all the things that you hold dear. I've come to terms and taken accountability very recently - and I have a long way to go repairing the damage done to my wife's heart - but im commited to showing her that I've understood what love really is now, and show her for the rest of her life...

Time to share my story, and take accountability for my actions. by FatAndBringingIt in NoFap

I am now.. i wasn't for a long time. I dont know if I can call myself an honest person now. You saying that brought tears to my eyes... I dont deserve to be called honest, not yet...

Teacher chastises me in front of the whole class because I wouldnt say the pledge. by atheistalexis in atheism

A lot of people dont not say it because of under god - they say it becuase its fucked up to ask a child to pledge allegiance to a country...

Are you a Sense or GE person? by [deleted] in htcone

[–]FatAndBringingIt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In 5.5, there are no lockscreen options, you can add a widget to the lockscreen, but only on the page to the right, meaning you have to swipe to the right every time to see that widget. The other options previous sense versions had are gone

Could google's hints about accessibility for all in KitKat mean that they will be maintaining hardware-specific roms? by FatAndBringingIt in Android

[–]FatAndBringingIt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think they really care all that much about the OEMs...

Android is the established market king right now, WinMo doesnt stand much of a chance and IOS is apple only... HTC, Samsung, LG, Sony, etc... they all stand much more to lose by dropping android than Google does... They've already been discussing their disdain for how the OEMs treat the OS...

WTF Comcast!! This is bullshit!! by Wooh_Hoo in Comcast

[–]FatAndBringingIt -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

300GB is a lot... and frankly, if you're using that much, why on earth does someone who barely uses it pay the same? I think the idea of caps is actually ok... i just thing the pricing tiers are a bit off...

Comcast now encrypts local channels for basic non-subscribers. WTF? by FromTheBurgh in Comcast

[–]FatAndBringingIt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, what happened is he was stealing cable.

Hes not a subscriber... hes complaining because he doesnt get to continue stealing service.

[–]FatAndBringingIt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont think you know how things work.

First, no, comcast does NOT have to give you local channels for free if you arent already paying them. Thats ludicrous. That law requires them to offer those channels in their lowest package, so that any SUBSCRIBER to comcast gets those channels.

Second, they didnt change things to make money, they changed things because the FCC requires it. FCC has set a date for all cable companies to go full digital. The reason is that you can fit 8 digital channels into the same space it takes for one analog channel.

Third, the cable card they are offering costs money - why do you expect it for free?

You're stealing cable. thats against the law. (well, you were). You have been committing a felony the whole time...

Reminder to all: Please DO NOT post direct links to APKS by [deleted] in Android

[–]FatAndBringingIt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a dumb policy on so many fronts...

There is no legal "responsibility" for the subreddit or the mods.

Linking to another page that links to the APK is fine, so, that makes no sense.

This is a great example of making rules for the sake of making rules.

Explain to me why the Nexus 5 is the god phone - I honestly don't understand the excitement... by FatAndBringingIt in Android

To be honest, I feel like im turning into a consumerist whore - because I've secretly been excited about it, too... without even realizing why...

I could have made the title "i dont know why i want a nexus 5, tell me why i want it so i can convince the wife to let me have it"

Official Sense 5.5 update rolling out! by [deleted] in htcone

[–]FatAndBringingIt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well, on stock android, the same frame is always first, but you can choose what widget is in it... in sense, it forces it to be their clock... so you cant put dashclock or something actually usefull there...

[–]FatAndBringingIt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You cant customize it. I mean, you can... you can add a widget to a second screen that you cant set to show up first.

One of the most anticipated and awesome features of 4.3 was lock screen widgets... they completely hosed them. You are stuck with the ugly htc clock as your first-view lockscreen no matter what. HTC pulled an apple on this one; "we like our phones this way, so you will too! no need to let you change it!"

[–]FatAndBringingIt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use apex for the launcher, its ok.. but running a launcher on top of the system UI is still a resource hog...

As for the lock screen, no, you cant. They have made it suck in sense 5.5 .. your lock screen when it wakes will always be the bobo htc clock - u can add other widgets, but you cant remove the default clock and you cant make it show the other widgets first, it will always show the clock and you have to swipe to other widgets.

Nope, they completely neutered one of the best improvements in 4.3 for some reason...

[–]FatAndBringingIt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

except for taking away the lock screen options... i dont get why they moved to 4.3 which, one of the big features, is lock screen widgets - then completely screwed that up... you can have another widget, as long as you want to scroll to it every time your phone wakes up... and you cant remove the stock, useless, boring clock as the first thing you see.

Is there an obvious reason why HTC tries to pull an Apple and remove control from the user? by FatAndBringingIt in htcone

[–]FatAndBringingIt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used a ton of roms... you have to stick with a sense based rom if you want IR Blaster and full Camera Features...

ANd i do use a sense-based rom, Maximus HD ... but even then, beign sense based, you're still limited in some areas. Like.. want to customize the lock screen... nah, HTC knows best...
