I did. It’s like 20 % an Arc clone, and 80 % of UX papercuts. Like, you can’t have ‘add tab’ button on top when the new tab gets added to the bottom. Or that one sidebar button opens a side window to the right of the sidebar, while another below it opens the favorites to the left and moves the whole sidebar from underneath your mouse.
Looks like a minimal effort css restyle of Firefox.
but the for-some-reason-not-obvious revelation that it's just a product that some team somewhere is working on and the fact that a browser is an important piece of software brought me back to safari (not sure if joke's on me, but in this case I trust apple engineers to do a more thorough job in ensuring my data is secure).
i'm rooting for them to succeed, but if the concern is security, switching your daily driver browser to a brand-new browser that's still in alpha is unfortunately not a good idea.
To be fair, It's more comparable to MP3 players in the 50 to 100 usd range. (See zishan, f.audio, hiby, shanling, fiio, xduoo)
The difference is it is using open source hardware and software. Chinese MP3 players have little repairability, limited to no modding and a terrible OS. This tries to fix that.
Still expensive in my opinion but I'm waiting to see if people make interesting things out of it.
Jpeg-XL is light enough to not require hardware support.
Did you tried to transcode a PNG to avif? It's painful. Not the case with Jpeg XL.
Meanwhile I urge you to read this article. Jpeg XL has way more features than avif.
Hardware decoding can mean less battery usage, which is very big for end users.
I just don't think any of those features matter as much a battery life, most of them are about encoding speed which just seems wildly unimportant to me: encoding may be more work, but generally you view images far more than you make them, and admins and creators are in a better position to spend the time/effort to encode something, and hardware encoding may well end up making it a non-issue anyway.
People are out there running `zopflipng` and the like to try and get better sizes at the cost of more work at encode time, so it seems like that priority isn't just me.
So far the boot loader is unlocked and you can flash on top of it, although I don’t know why you’d want to since you’d have to rebuild an entire OS but it would be possible. Our waveforms were easy to get right so it’s not as simple as driving the eink displays with OSS drivers.
To add a book you can use a mobile app or text directly since we’re manually buying the books for now. Once we have a book marketplace it’ll be self serve on the mobile apps. We are planning side loading capabilities so you can use the mass storage device, but there’s a bit of preprocessing we’re doing to the epubs that we’ll have to replicate for self serve epubs. To get around that you can email an epub to add@solreader.com and we deliver it directly to your device. Handy!
The lenses that ship with these limited editions will be dust and moisture resistant. But if they drop in a tub all bets are off. That may change one day.
Mastodon is hard to use because people using social media don't expect to read anything before starting to use a service. TikTok, Instagram,etc really succeeded in frying people's brain over their addictive patterns.
Just the idea of a protocol that can be interacted with over different clients and different instances is hard to grasp.
IMO, Mastodon has to find ways to be more accessible in the onboarding process without compromising on the decentralization feature.
I could not make it work. Did you had to do anything special?
From what I learned, only apps that target Android 12and above could have this background update feature. I'm on Android 13 but none of the apps I use updated.
I had to switch back to using the f-droid privileged extension.
A store can only auto-update apps when they've been first installed through it. The first time you update an app with neo store you'll have to do it manually, any update after that will be automatic.
No, it just worked, just the usual "allow this app to install software" thing.
I'm on Android 13 currently, I don't have root, stock OS. All my apps update, including ones that are marked in Fdroid as "created for older Android releases". I use around 15 apps from that source and none caused me much trouble. A few times had to invoke installation manually, but honestly I think it would update automatically with more patience on my side.
That's why I'm so pumped about Fdroid Basic - it's a much better experience.
Accessible Contrast
Relative to Font Size and Weight
APCA reports lightness contrast as an Lc value from Lc 0 to Lc 106 for dark text on a light background, and Lc 0 to Lc -108 for light text on a dark background (dark mode). The minus sign merely indicates negative contrast, which means light text on a dark background.
We need an alternative from Bandcamp that is a co-op fediverse kind of system.
I know there is people working on making alternatives like ninaprotocol.com but it's tainted by web3/crypto selling the songs as collectibles NFTs. Not even lossless.
