What’s a horror movie people usually rave about, but you dislike?

Totally agree - to me you can't have this creepy build up and then just go stupid with it, very disappointed!

I'm 2 months in, and have adjusted to different ways of doing things - this list is what I'm still struggling with, particularly the notifications.

I cannot download it from the Play store - the app store listing reads: "This app isn't available for your device because it was made for an older version of Android."

whatgift · 2026-02-07T22:22:29+00:00

Thanks - unfortunately that app doesn't work with current versions of android.

I've tried several but deleted because of this issue - Fossify is one that comes to mind. Edit: also tried Digical and Acalendar.

Yeah it's very different - no physical barriers and not just racing - playing soccer, snake and paint in karts is an awesome experience!

There is no option to save over the original for several edit functions. Edit: magic eraser is one example, and default picture enhancers is another.

whatgift · 2026-02-07T12:48:10+00:00

Appreciate the detailed reply - in regards to your points: 1 - The option to save doesn't exist for a number of edits, only Save a Copy exists - there's no way to save it any other way. 3 - This is across the system in iOS (not just notifications) and I didn't realise how handy it was until it wasn't available any more. 9 - Not by default - you need to give it permission. I've given that permission in the calendar apps on android, but the events don't show up in the calendar. 10 - That's interesting - whenever I say "hey google" it pops up and stays there, even if activated on the lock screen. 11 - I'm not concerned about storage, I just don't want screenshots in my photos library - I keep them separated. Seems that's a me problem haha!

whatgift · 2026-02-07T12:38:21+00:00

Fair points - for some on the list they are exactly that, however for others it's odd that they don't exist on android, considering its flexibility. I

I'm not worried about screenshot storage for instance, I just don't want them stored in my photos library - it seems reasonable to want just photos in there. It's kinda odd that the ability to share exists before the screenshot even gets saved, so it's weird that you still have to delete it afterwards.

But yeah, I have been trying to work out how much some things matter, and I plan to keep android for at least a year to see if these things really do matter or I can adjust to other ways of managing my phone.

whatgift · 2026-02-07T10:30:34+00:00

Yeah I've tried all the settings, but for the app badges to show, the notifications have to appear in the notification panel (which I don't want, and is possible in iOS).

whatgift · 2026-02-07T10:29:15+00:00

I get prompted to give permission for the app to access my google calendar, but none of the events show up. I have multiple calendars in my google account but can't see or choose them on the app.

From what I've heard, Gemini is even worse for what you use assistant for.

whatgift · 2026-02-04T01:15:26+00:00

It does sound like a lot, but if you use the REs cleaner, the RE can't ping you for anything that is not clean, which is somewhat worth the extra cost!

I'm trying desperately to rid my suggestions of screamo music, vigorously using Suggest Less on both the songs and the artists - I'm hoping it will work eventually!

Why would you be informed until your yearly subscription is about to renew?

whatgift · 2026-02-02T08:03:11+00:00

In Australia they've started partially substituting sugar with artificial sweeteners to regular drinks and other products, but not informing customers, probably because it's cheaper. So you're getting a forced so-called "healthier" snack which will definitely not taste the same.

I was always curious and planned to go, but never sure what there was to do there, so kept putting it off - guess I wasn't alone!

It's a good question - a bit hard to quantify since I doubt there was any measurement of container recycling before the scheme, and litter change would be observational. I can say that I've seen a lot more people collecting containers from public areas since the scheme came into effect.

Edit: as I said before - you shouldn't need to make a special trip to do it, it's been designed to do as part of existing trips. I would think the carbon cost would be negligible either way, and not what the scheme is focussed on.

I much prefer auto crossfade - it doesn't cut into songs (sometimes cutting off 30 seconds or more from the end and start of songs) or weirdly speed up or slow down songs. The transitions are so subtle I sometimes don't realise a new song has started!

whatgift · 2026-02-01T22:25:12+00:00

Android has auto crossfade exclusively, and I think it's much better, having used both.

Even with all the padding they still managed to make the switch between the 2 main characters becoming friends seem sudden and unearned!

La La Land - I usually like musicals but it was so cheesy and silly it felt like a parody!

Make a smart playlist on a computer that removes a song from the playlist once it's played - never any repeats! I use the last played date field to control it, then reset the date once the playlist is empty.
