I’m aware that I could flash a new ROM, and for security reasons that would probably be a good idea. However, I haven’t had an OS update in 4+ years and I like how everything works right now.

I can assure you that all the apps that I listed can be fully shut down without impacting stability. Contacts and Phone are probably there so receiving a call is fast, which is fine, but atfwd is only used for screen mirroring which I haven’t done in years, and DeX is for Desktop-ifying your phone, which I’ve never used and didn’t even know existed. These apps have no business being loaded all the time, even if they’re just libraries. Messenger isn’t even a system app, why is it allowed to start itself at all?

Services on the other hand, are usually much lighter and also more hidden. To even see them you need to enable dev options, and this is where things can start breaking. This is where google Play Services and some system processes are located, as well as the home screen service and keyboard service. Even here there are 2 smart home processes which I’ve never used, as well as an iris scanner I’ve never enabled.

Most of this is besides the point anyway, which is that system apps can be just as guilty of hogging resources as any poorly made app short of a miner. Even the Android OS is hella bloated, taking a full third of this flagship phone’s RAM at all times, and 6GB of storage. That’s nearly desktop sized resorces. If someone uses more common apps than I do regularly or don’t bother to disable bloatware, I’d bet this list would be much worse.

748mb of RAM on my phone is currently being used by random crap I didn’t ask for, like Chrome and Messenger (neither of which have been used in years), smart view, DeX, settings suggestions, gallery stories, quallcom.atfwd, visit in (none of which I’ve every actually used in any capacity AFAIK), media storage, downloads manager, game booster, game optimizing service, phone, wifi calling, contacts, contacts storage, blocked number storage, CMHProvider, Mobile Location Protocol, google services framework, and Gmail (none of which I’ve asked to run or are being used by the things I have asked to run).

These aren’t just services either, they’re fully fleged background apps with app entries and everything. And not a one was started by me.

Tell that to all the google apps with backdoor permissions that can’t be uninstalled.

This is also data from an opt-in survey of only one kind of user. The real number of Linux users is probably somewhat higher due to the higher level of privacy conscientiousness in the community.

I think the more proper definition is 1kspm, so not only 1 rocket per minute, but also all the other sciences to match it.

I ended up completely rebuilding my base once I unlocked trains. Hexes everywhere, each one a cell that peoduced one thing, and then I just built enough to support 500smp IIRC. My first rocket launch was from a 500smp factory with no logistics. It took me 80 hours to do that though. XD

Megafactories are those games where instead of launching one expensive rocket, you launch one or more per minute. They’re usually at least 5 times larger than an endgame factory, and usually stop growing when the FPS drops below 30.

How would they determine if the ad is played without trusting the client? I guess they could screw with the buffer, but that would really piss of people with poor internet, and most people would prefer an ad-length black screen to whatever attention wrenching dark pattern manipulative brown noise wants to infect your mind today.

Not to mention that Vanced-type apps and content mirrors are still going strong, and proper alternative platforms like Grayjay and Nebula are getting more attractive.

I wonder how soon self-hosted video distribution will be feasible. Does ActivityPub support that yet?

It’s still a Pirelli neat table.

Red/yellow causes tiredness? Interesting. Maybe that’s why it makes be cranky. Blue light filters sound like a good idea, but they just piss me off.

Maybe they were feeding the rabbit from the bucket. The rabbit just wanted some snacks, and these kids didn’t like that.

Well…

Alpha wolves definitely don’t exists, but there is support for “alpha” behaviour in primates, particularly chimpanzees.

“Alpha” is still a stupid and harmful idea, but it’s not without precedent.

Oh, no problems! Colour rendering isn’t an angle I’d thought of yet, and clashing colours is definitely something I’ll think aboit next time.

I do have to wonder if my aversion is learned, as I am very much not a morning person, so waking up by strong sunlight or room light are both negative experiences. I’m also a big fan of rainy days, and I wonder how much the light colours play into that and how.

Is it possible that the sensory processing differences are caused by the difference in retina cells? That the cerebellum develops differently to deal with different inputs and thus behaves differently elsewhere?

I find it hard to imagine that the difference between needing the room lights because it’s too dark and only noticing the shift in colour temperature is just due to visual processing. If the eyes are the same, why can some people see well and others less so?

No, most of the places I notice my aversion to yellow light have pretty neutral colours; off-whites, greys, the occasional green. I haven’t looked into it, but I would say the yellow lights (at least the ones that bother me) distort the colours more. I have no idea when the Colour Rendering Index of them are, just that they seem much hasher. Maybe yellow lights are more tolerable to most people, so they install more? Yellow lights aren’t rated for higher power though. Maybe it’s purely the colour temperature, maybe it has to do with sun exposure and cloudy days?

Just the CRI wouldn’t explain why some people find the addition of artificial light unnecessary at best while others seem to need it to see. There’s probably some amount learned perception going on, but I don’t think you can learn to be blind to certain light, can you?

Bixby is the one yeah. Until AI assistants can ask clarifying questions and replicate arbitrary actions, they’ll just get in my way.

As for the method, I use bxActions to remap buttons. You can add an action for a single press, a double press, a long press, and a double press and hold, and then a different set of actions on the lockscreen too.

Single press does indeed get pressed accidentally sometimes, so I have that as Media play/pause. Flashlight gets put on long press, which has extra functionality; if you release as soon as it comes on, it’s a toggle, but if you keep holding the button it will turn off when you release it. Very convenient. The double press and double hold set screen rotation, although I don’t use then very often. Double press on the lockscreen opens the camera.

You can add lots of other actions too, like an extra bright flashlight (both flashlights automatically turn off after 5 minutes), launch apps, switch apps, take a screenshot, use google assistant instead, set sound setting (like do not disturb, or IOS mode), other media buttons, volume buttons, home button, back button, open some system utilities, change one handed mode, toggle the screen (like pressing the power button), toggle fullscreen, and do some notification managment. Oh, and did I mention you can rebind the volume buttons too? That’s 24 different actions you can bind.

Only issue I’ve had is it’s not a system service, so android likes to kill it when it gets low on battery or RAM. But that’s a problem for every custom service.

TL;DR: Both. Flashlight gets a 5 minute timer, and I also have it on a long press.

That’s true. Office fluorescents are often a very clinical and harsh tone.

Maybe it’s something to do with the breadth of the spectrum? Are some eyes better at utilizing a wife spectrum even if the intendity is lower, while other eyes care prinarily about the maximum intensity?

Or maybe it’s something to do with exposure? Some people can’t see the intensity difference between spill light from outside and dedicated room lights because their brain adjusts the effective exposure differently?

Maybe it’s overexposure filtering. Some people get headaches from brighter light but don’t notice the brightness because of all the extra work their visual cortex is doing to filter out the extra light, while other people genuinely need the extra intensity?

I feel like letting pets/horses respawn sitting at pet beds/hay bales would massively increase their useage. You’d still have to go back home if you want to keep exploring with them, but not you can have some investment without easily losing everything.

Some smarter AI that actively avoids lava and cactus would be nice. Retreating when hurt could be good too.

I have my phone’s flashlight hooked up to the extra button that was supposed to be for an ai assistant, and I use it more than every other non-keyboard button on every other device I own combined.

Not only am I more comfortable in the natural light/darkness, I never need to make a return trip to turn the lights out.

It’s just taking nice blue-white natural light and pissing harsh yellow light all over it.

It makes me wonder if we have different amounts of blue cones, that they literally can’t see all the blue light. Is there one of those colour blind tests that can estimate cone density?
