The “it’s more lean on resources” always seemed to me like a strawman people don’t like it came up with to diss on Gentoo.

Wait but isn't being more lean a good thing? Or am I misunderstanding how they're using that word?

The package is called android-tools on Fedora, and probably some other distros as well.

I also don't have that particular device unfortunately.

You can, but you won't get updates that way. Some of their apps are available as GitHub releases, which you can add to Obtainium. You can also add the direct apk download links to Obtainium, but update checking isn't great using that method in my experience.

It's pretty nice, especially in combination with slurp which lets you select a part of the screen.

I have this mapped to my printscreen shortcut: grim -g "$(slurp)" - | wl-copy, which lets you select a part of the screen to screenshot, and copies the image to the clipboard.

  • TalkBack now uses Gemini
  • Chrome has TTS built-in now
  • Circle to search for music, seems to be just a manual way to trigger song recognition
  • Earthquake alerts more coverage in the US
  • Offline Google maps on smartwatch

You can also hover over the title to see the full thing. But this also got annoying since they start playing the video when you hover, so sometimes when you take too long it'll mark the video as played. I honestly hate that hover play feature, who actually wants to watch a video from the start in that tiny ass window? The thing where they'd show some stills from several points in the video was much better imo.

I mean, if it's just cosmetic, you really didn't have to do anything, you chose to do that.

Yeah, I feel like most of the updates lately have been pretty boring. The last "big" change was material 3 I think, but even that was just some visual changes.

They still have the dessert names, they just don't use them in their marketing. This one is called vanilla ice cream, android 14 was upside down cake or something iirc, 13 was tiramisu.

10-12 don't seem to have dessert names for some reason though. Those were just q, r, and s.

The only one i still have issues with is going from xbox to nintendo controllers, because they use the same abxy face buttons, but they switched them around.

I like what switch games do when you're using a single joy-con, they just show a button with an arrow pointing to which direction the button is, so what's printed on the button doesn't matter at all.

I think the gyro and layout of the switch pro controller are good, but it just feels so cheap, and the buttons are way too mushy. Also doesn't have analogue triggers. The d-pad is pretty terrible as well.

Overall not a great controller imo.
