  • I just really hate the noise reduction in JPEGs on Pixel Phones. You can't "crop and zoom" at all! It looks like some weird painting style.

    IPhone does it right by adding all of the AI processing to RAW files as data, so you can crop and edit a raw file and then apply the same AI processing it would have had if you had used JPEG mode.

  • I watched a video years ago where poor street cooks in SE Asia were "mining" cooking oil out of the sewer. They would refine it and use it to cook food.

    Edit: It was China. I think I found the exact video, but it turns out there are a lot of similar videos!

    Fun fact from the video: it's estimated that 10% of cooking oil in China is "gutter oil".

  • Everything I've seen and read says exercise won't actually change how many calories you burn in a day. It's still super healthy to do, but does not replace a calorie deficit.

    Your anecdote seems to support that. You burned up all your blood sugar by biking 10 miles and then almost passed out. So now you're just going to laze around for hours burning fewer calories than you would have during that time had you not exercised.

    I've dieted before and always embraced the "eat your exercise calories" idea. Exercise is good for your body, but any calories spent doing it should be eaten as extra food outside of your normal calorie goals.

  • Congrats?

    Consider taking up scuba diving. It normally requires active ear pressure normalization (Valsalva maneuver), but it sounds like you're one of the rare people who will have a wonderful time never having to worry about that.

  • Nothing you said is true.

    1. Nonsense. False.
    2. No information. False.
    3. Improper English. False.

    This is a very well known sentence that leads to things like Gödel's Incompleteness Theoreom.

    If you don't enjoy the philosophy of logic, that's fine, but don't go saying a very famous sentence is improper English.

  • If you're switching from a github alpha (debug) version, this version will install side-by-side with your current version, so there should be no risk of data loss. However, it's always good to backup your settings, layout, icons, and wallpaper anyway, and this will also let you restore these things in the Play Store version.

    To create a backup of you current Lawnchair settings:

    1. Open the "Home settings" by long-pressing anywhere in the blank space between icons on your home screen and choosing "Home settings".
    2. Use the three-dot menu in the upper right to choose Create Backup. Save the file somewhere handy.
    3. Later, restore that backup in the new version of Lawnchair.

    It's weird having both versions installed. When I open my app drawer and search for Lawnchair, I only get one result, and now that I've restored my backup, I can't even tell which version is being launched when I tap that icon. Thankfully the alpha version is named "Lawnchair (Debug)" in the Apps list, and I can now uninstall the debug version.

  • I tried turning them all off and nothing changed. Same result with the Duck Duck Go browser set on Android. Unique fingerprint. And I have no extensions. I wonder if my VPN is part of the fingerprint. I did read a lot of the explanation of what fingerprints you, but I didn't see VPN in there. I should do a search on that page to see.
