  • Phrase sounds like it's pulled straight out of a dystopia.

  • À la grande surprise de personne. Vu les choix qui ont été faits.

  • The voyager app is rock solid I'm amazed how it fares against apps. I hope jerboa can keep improving as it is the "official" way of browsing lemmy.

  • Well I would have normally said Fedora but with the current RedHat issues I'm thinking of making a switch. but in my opinion Fedora was always rock stable and leading edge. currently looking at an alternative.

  • Ce qui me tue c'est que dans un des premiers épisodes de Star Trek: Discovery (je sais la série est pas ouf), Burnham la personage principale fait une référence à de grande personalités de l'histoire et inclue Musk dedans.... comme quoi ça a vieillit comme du petit lait.

  • I understand I'm continuing to use the word objective incorrectly. I failed to grasp the definition you sent me. Please give me an example of something that is objective in your own words.

  • I'm fully aware of it's meaning. My post may have come across the wrong way. I really understand what you're trying to say I understand what is the difference between an opinion and a fact. I should have put more effort into my post but i'll put some effort in this answer at least.

    Gestures or very big screens such as tablets are faster than using buttons because of the distance your fingers have to travel. Gestures are in general much better(my bad for the title) to use than buttons for various reasons: they give more screen space (that's a fact) they create engagement with the phone and positive feedback loops because of said engagement. They are intuitive (that can be an opinion since that's how I feel about them).

    However on smaller phones where there is less finger travel buttons are just simply much faster. there is no multi-tasking pull up animation, there is no need for double input while playing a game (protection against misinput is necessary while in game which means more delayed input). Also making big upwards and swiping movements holding your thumb down while including the gesture pull up delay is just factually slower than two taps with buttons (again on phones not tablets).

    I know my post came across as quite opinionated because I didn't put the necessary effort into it. I agree with you though saying buttons are objectively better than gestures is only an opinion since there are quite good examples of gestures being better than buttons. What I precisely meant is that when it comes to speed on certain devices buttons have a clear edge over gestures.

  • I have an actual recording of using both gestures and buttons and the buttons are just much faster in general. even going back to the previous app is faster with the button. there's quite a delay to pull up the gesture from the bottom of the screen. so at least on my device it's not my opinion it's a fact. I'm really curious about the the Samsung one handed+ mode that some say combined to gestures is the superior way.

  • I don't dislike gesture navigation I'm currently using it but you can't tell me that it's faster for switching between apps for example.

    edit: I prefer gestures but button navigation (at least on my Poco F3) is waaaaaaay faster.

    edit 2: I just realised I wrote better instead of faster in my title no wonder it's so divisive

  • I would have to try that. I have a Samsung tablet and oneUI's interface and functionalities are really great. My phone is a Poco F3 and even with miui.eu the gestures on those devices have always felt a bit off for me. Most likely where I get most of my opinion from.

  • loving my Poco F3 but I recently had to bend the knee to google services and get rid of my lineage OS and install miui.eu.

    Most of the apps I use are open source but I still have the need to use banking apps (Gcash especially) that will just not work even with root and microg (the gcash app is bugged itself already).

  • That's poetic let me just steal that sentence from you

  • I ended up deleting my main on .world to make my alt on a smaller instance. I hope we can all learn and spread out or at least join instances relevant to our hobbies or geographic position more than defaulting to the general instances.

  • lmao I'm so stupid I pressed on that image and now my account is compromised. oh well it forced to create another and this is my first hack yayyyyy!
