  • Yeah... But I'd prefer it not to be my phone. It's a bit quirky in desktop mode, too.

  • Is it called ONN in the UK too? Thanks!

  • Thanks...yeah that's the one. I'm not sure where to source it from, either in Europe or in Asia.

  • As already suggested, for portable media exFAT is the way to go. Might also need an additional package not immediately installed by default, but nothing a quick apt-get install or dnf install won't sort out in a second.

  • ... Check duckdns constant resolution issues. There's lots of threads about their inconsistency and unreliability. Can't really complain, because it's truly free, but there's no full week that goes without issue.

  • They'll make it requiring registration to enter a developer program or something to let you install crap.

  • Any ideas on Linux support?

  • Who submitted it this time?

  • I'll disagree with the slowness part. I'm loving the current pacing. For example the whole 2nd episode sequence to introduce the pirate lady was brilliant IMHO.

  • Google

  • Except for anything related to Gaza/Palestine/Israel.

  • Is it possible to make it to only activate when plugged in?

  • What's "the privilege of running a local model"? If it's on a computer, it's not much of a privilege, gpt4all can get up and running in a minute. For mobile phones RAM is more of an issue.

  • Resigns... While keeping the seat. And without starting the election procedure. Not sure this counts as "resigning".

  • Such as AI. Nobody asked them for goddamn AI.

  • Still fails to address a lot of normal offline functionality of a normal email app. Like, having an outbox folder where your outgoing emails sit until they're sent. So you know if something is pending (likely to happen if you are commuting and might lose reception for a bit). Nope, they're all "sent". Regardless whether they're actually sent or not.

    Search is still useless as it's unable to search through email bodies. This functionality only works in a browser in a desktop. On a phone this falls flat on its face, regardless of being offline or online.

    Offline cache is whatever they have determined to be useful, with no way to predict if your email is actually downloaded or is just the header, unless you tap on every each one of them. So, not useful while traveling or during periods you might need to be offline but still might need to access your stuff. There's no way to have your email moderately offline in a phone, even if your phone has 1TB storage.

    EDIT: Regarding the calendar app, I have a couple of serious pet peeves:

    -It's not really an Android calendar app. It's just an app that contains a calendar internally, but with no integration whatsoever. So if I use a watch syncing events via gadgetbridge...surprise, that's not really a calendar it can sync from. If I have rules for example setting do not disturb when certain events or meetings are about to happen...surprise, again, that's not a calendar you can use for reference. I can understand the security/privacy view of this, as Google can (and will) spy on these services. But I'm using a Google-less android (GrapheneOS), and so all of this would be moot. The option should be in the user.

    -Second one was that if you tried to create or modify events and just happened to lose connectivity even briefly, it would just waste your whole effort, not creating the event, and throwing an error about failing to sync. Not like, waiting to sync and then creating it no...Actually DISCARDING the event you were trying to create or modify, telling you a pop-up error, and just wasting your time. I'm not sure this has been fixed, because this was so egregious I've stopped using them for a calendar app.

  • I wasn't aware. Can you provide info on what did framework do?

  • I see. So building an offline working email/calendar is not on the roadmap. Still needs to be online for most stuff or it will crap its pants midway. It's honestly a rather bad mobile experience, and has been this way for so many years. It could be excused 8 years ago as they were a new platform. But it's been 8 years and the app is still not on par with most basic email needs on a phone.
