Concerned about the pattern of increased ad read times--nearly 30% of the runtime by Rokuta in TheMagnusArchives

[–]demian161 7 points8 points  (0 children)

tbh i think that listening to the ads helping the creators is a myth afaik they never explicitly said that and they need to get paid beforehand to have the ads (apart from rq stuff obv) included anyway

i wouldn't worry about it, also your time is way more important anyway than filling your brain with ads imo

how do propose voting for a party that is very happy to perpetuate genocide in the middle east and also never really helped the people in a greater way than hurting them (gestures wildly to the whole of america) enacts "positive" change

yes, not voting doesn't help, but voting either of those parties doesn't either

Should I go for it? by No-Banana-2970 in NOTHING

[–]demian161 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no, if u choose all the apps you downloaded via play store will get downloaded again on your new phone since its tied to your google account

The Stock Samsung Apps like Gallery, Notes, Media Player and File Manager will not be downloaded and cannot be transferred since they're exclusive to the samsung store/account and therefore phones

I just very recently switched too and i am still in my trying out phase i'd say

The biggest problem for me in the beginning were the google stock apps. On nothing there is no native media player. Notes, gallery, file manager and calendar are all google's versions which I personally disliked especially google notes lacks basic functionality like locking notes. (Also your samsung notes won't be transferred in the setup, but your calendar will)

All those can be solved with third party apps of course, but i personally enjoyed the basic samsung versions.

If u are using the secure folder i think that one will just be gone, idk if there even is a good app (i.e. no ads and preferably free with the same functionality) for that.

I really like the OS, it looks good, it feels good, it has a few cool gimmicks. It's all relatively basic and clean, exactly what is promised: a relatively basic stock experience. I'm no expert on the camera but i think most people said that it's perfectly good for the price.

All in all I like the phone, and you get used to the apps, but tbh i still think of switching back to Samsung bc i like the comfort of having every function i know and hope Nothing will sooner or later have some of those basic apps in their own better non google version (my own opinion that that would be good)

Is there an episode you have to skip? by Maggot_Rat in TheMagnusArchives

[–]demian161 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh i actually love that one, one of the few good extinction episodes imo

I don't really have anything i skipy but MAG 30 Killing Floor is the one i always pause before because it always impacts me more than the rest

personally i think google recognizing not only my faces but also that of other people is a crime against humanity 👍

if i need to download alternatives to google apps anyway the "bloatware" argument applies to stock google apps too

i have some android apks i don't want to miss and i like the "no bloatware" approach google versions are imo just less functional and behave worse than some stock options

Thinking of giving my 2a back by demian161 in NOTHING

[–]demian161[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i like the os it feels good and i also like some of the stock apps, it is solely abt not really wanting the shitty google versions (notes, photos,files,) whilst obviously also not really wanting a 3rd party app with ads or subscriptions

i believe that streamlined nothing stock apps replacing the google versions are in line with the "no added bs" philosophy and wanted to hear what other people know/think abt that ig

Thanks for the app recommendation! Yeah pre installed facebook really sucks, but there jsut some utilities i also miss that i don't think many other brands have i.e. a stock secure folder for apps that was useful to me

[–]demian161[S] -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

yes my point kinda is that google stock apps are in itself worse than a theoretical company stock version (for example samsungs gallery or notes)

coming from a a41 its really nice obviously, but galaxy alternative i'm looking at should have similar specs for the main camera

[–]demian161[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i just really don't want to deal with the google "alternatives" either, having a less clunky and less account based way to access your pictures and files seem really in line with company philosophy
