Not the OP, but I used to work at a retail job where we couldn't touch our phones or have them out visible. There was no clock around either so having my phone speak the time aloud from my pocket every 30 minutes helped me get through the day until the shift ended.

Also automating this would remove the element of imperfect human functioning. If you had to open up your phone and press snooze every 30 minutes, that takes a few seconds or minutes if you're busy, and then the timer would start to lag behind and no longer be in sync with a clock's time and thus lose its utility. And how exhausting would it be to keep on top of that task for 16 hours every single day without any mistakes allowed ever? My ADHD brain is getting anxiety just thinking about managing that.

I used to have an iPhone app that did this. I kept my phone in my pocket at work and every 30 minutes it would speak the time aloud. You could also configure it to sound a discreet beep instead. I don't remember the name of the app but just want to say this is a really handy tool to have and now your post makes me want to find one for Android.

I didn't type faster. But the experience of pressing on physical keys was more satisfying somehow. Like with computers, how some people swear by mechanical keyboards from the feeling alone, even though those same people can type fast on regular keyboard too.

Very cool. I wish the entirety of the computer's interface was scalable SVG so any custom resolution is possible and looks good.

As a semi-technical user: I also fucking love it. It gets out of the way so I can focus my time on my work and not OS maintenance.

I've used both and have had good experiences with both. One benefit of Proton is that emails sent to other Proton users are encrypted, but if you mostly just email people who have @gmail.com addresses, then Gmail's going to store a copy of your emails to that person on their servers anyway.

Both Proton and Fastmail allow you to have a custom domain with a wildcard catch-all address, but the process for replying from that random wildcard address is much more seamless on Fastmail. Proton requires some extra setup and workarounds. But then again Proton is more secure.

It really depends how you use email and what's important to you (security, convenience, features). I mainly just get junk mail and newsletters. For more private communication I use Signal.

I love Gnome and would love a Linux phone, but sadly I hear they aren't as secure as Android, and security is important to me. I'm really curious how the experience is to use it though.

Strange! It wasn't unlisted yesterday when I posted it. Sorry, I don't know what you mean by spater.

This video is a deep dive into HVAC systems, but each of his videos are pretty interesting and about different topics.

There is lazydocker which gives a visual interface to docker in the terminal window. May be worth looking into.

Fedora Silverblue. Solid like Debian but doesn't break and require reinstall when I tinker around.

Very nice. I did not know that. I came over from macOS and Gnome felt very natural to use due to its similar UX approach but I understand others may differ. I may give KDE another try to test it out what's new since I used it last.

 

Not sure who the author is. Found this saved on my computer from a long time ago.

 

Does anyone know how this even works? Is the technology for this already in place?

 

Does anyone else use the android app Connect for Lemmy? It reminds me of Infinity for Reddit. If you use it, do you like it better than Jerboa? I also found another new Lemmy app called Liftoff.
