Says the guy who wrote a rant reply to my week old comment. Cope, buddy.

Don't volunteer if you're just going to complain about it. You sound worse than Reddit mods.

You mean going off reading the title of a post on Lemmy and not actually looking into it?

Meanwhile I have 25ft cables running my large format vinyl printers lol

Fuck America, to be more accurate. What you think of the South is how the rest of the world thinks of your entire country.

Ubuntu, one of the most popular Linux Distros, already did that.

Remember when Ubuntu had Amazon ads baked into the OS, and would send everything you typed in your dash to the web, to advertise to you? and it was enabled by default?

Or are we just hating on Windows?

See ya when you need a video on how to fix something, a review releases, or you get sent a video from a friend.

Lmfao, no one is dropping YouTube. You'll be back one way or another.

And a slider is a bad design. When I'm trying to choose a password length in my password manager using a slider, I can never pick the exact number. It jumps as soon as I let go of the button.

Now imagine that garbage when trying to change the snooze length?

No thanks.

It's hidden in the fact it's not presented upon first startup, it never mentions it, and it's at the very bottom of the settings page.

You have to discover it. And who knows how long you had it enabled before you find it.

Also, Firefox, lemmys beloved browser, sends telemetry by default. You have to dig through menus you didn't know existed to even find out, and then disable.

Not only to Mozilla, but third parties as well.

They only produce heat if you're using them. Otherwise they run pretty ambient.

It's wild that you wouldn't want a GPU, since it makes the machine like 50% more capable.

How would you change it? A slider would be worse for this setting.

Ever try to use a slider in a password manager to determine the length?

Trying to set your password to 21 characters? 20... 22.. 20.. 24.. 18.. ah fuck it, I guess my password is going to be 18 instead.

When you have a hard limit of 1-30, on a setting you touch once, if ever, this is fine. A text field with the ability to input a number would be okay, except it would confuse people who want more than 30, and that's bad UX.

This is in the Google Clock settings. It's the snooze length that is buried deep down, that you're meant to set once, and it applies to all of your alarms.

I know what it is.

You're acting like it's something you need to do every time you set an alarm. That's not true, and until you were called out for it, you kept all of your replies vague to make it seem like it's something you had to do often.

I didn't even know the UI existed until I went looking, since you ignored my other comment asking which app this was.

Which was not actually big in person, and something that could've definitely been shrunken down more by 2023.

Now we are left with the garbage "face" unlock on the Pixel 6/7, or the garbage in screen fingerprint sensor. I mean all in screen sensors are shit. They work like 80% of the time, while the Pixel 4 face unlock worked 100% of the time, and it was so good I forgot I ever had a lock on my phone, because it was instantly unlocked, even in a pitch black room.

Bro you set it once and forget it. You're misleading people and intentionally keeping your replies vague lmao

Mine isn't like that. Google clock on pixel 7 Pro.

Edit: mines like that. It's the snooze time you set in settings that apply to all alarms.

Honestly makes sense to do it this way. Pick your exact time limited to 30 minutes. Set it once and forget it.

Op is just farming for outrage.

What app?

Pixel 4 was, and it was better than Apple's implementation.

It's crazy that Google did it once and beat Apple. Then they dropped it.

I'm not hunting for whatever comment you think I should be looking for, my guy.
