In Barcelona there are a lot of many small cafes, bars, restaurants (located generally in zones where the terrain is very expensive) that got purchased by Chinese families.

Generally these were frequented for coffee, drink + tapas, lunch meal. But after the ownership change they end up frequented mainly for the same stuff but not for the food because it's generally not good.

To me these are front for something else. They always become much worse for eating. Never better. Like there is no intention of improving it. But they still do it smartly because they keep some customers just for the beer and coffee mainly after work.

For just the data. There is a developer settings "keep mobile data always active" something like that.

But i think it made little difference for me in terms of battery drain so I leave it on.

At the end, in my case after trying dozens of settings, battery drain for me is just handled by whatsapp and how crazily the app decides to start spamming the phone with wakelocks at certain times. Android/Google barely do something to cripple this app wakelocks.

Especially in the compost one.

Fair enough!

I use Proton (Linux) for games where my hardware is overkill or my FPS is good enough.

But in games where the hardware is maxed and the FPS is below my preference. I use windows because there is still sometimes like a 10%-20% loss by running windows stuff from Linux.

In Steam Deck could be different because it's more optimised maybe. There are exceptions that run better on Linux I understand (example: same FPS but less stuttering).

My old time allocated to Reddit is now allocated to Lemmy (65%) Reddit (35%).

And Infinity for Lemmy is making Lemmy even more familiar than ever.

It also became my main app for Lemmy (I had like 6 installed). And the Dev is working really fast. Every 24-48 he drops some cool stabilizing updates.

I was thinking about people with basic software knowledge and 0 hardware knowledge. That also never used Linux. This is why I excluded Linux. I consider Linux a bit more advanced.

Me neither. But it makes sense. In some countries there are a lot of OS X users.

Just like there are a lot of iPhone users. Generally they are users that get a Mac the same way they get an iPhone. It's from Apple. It looks like premium hardware. And it seems simpler to use than the alternative (Windows).

They don't get the Mac for gaming. They don't care about the GPU at all. But considering there are many users if just a few of them decide to try the MacBook to play some light game they can put a good number in the steam survey.

But isn't Greenify outdated or they still update it?

Another thing I'm thinking: I'm interested in running some adb shell command every few minutes or hours to change the WhatsApp standby bucket from active to working_set that seems to reduce a lot of wakelocks.

Currently my standby (after tweaking for days) is not that bad. Like 0.4% per hour at night using wifi when I go to sleep.

WhatsApp despite of the restrictions I added is still the app with most partial wakelocks.

I haven't rooted in a long time. But if you tell me there is an app out there that can restrict or deny apps background usage (to increase deep sleep state %) and that you can only do it with root.

Then I'd say root might be necessary in those situations.

For example WhatsApp is the number one standby battery drainer in my phone. If I check partial wakelocks like 70% of them have the WhatsApp logo. (In BBS app). If I had a way to reduce them by 90% just keeping new messages and call working and root is needed for that then I'd want to root my phone.

I tried "Apps Ops" and it let me deny some of the permission. But maybe there is something more restrictive out there that needs root.

Yeah I've been using it for a week already but I mean that I was waiting for non alpha release

I always liked the material design interface. How smooth are the corners etc.

And now with material UI the apps integrate better with the theme's primary colours. So that it's also cool.

As long as it is optional of course.

I like it.

I play warzone with my friends and they all own a Playstation 4 or 5.

So I ended up using the android playstation app in Windows 11 so we can all share VoIP all the time when playing.

First I tried the WSA. But it was impacting games performance. Stuttering every 30 seconds. Other thing I didn't like from WSA is that it installs Hyper-V or something like that (that causes VMWare to not like AMD-V setting).

Then I tried bluestack limiting the app to just 1 core and this one doesn't seem to impact game performance. So I'm staying with bluestack.

I have an 5800X3D CPU. And game is generally GPU bottlenecked for me.

Yes me too. But it's still an alpha. An alpha that evolves really fast day by day. The new Dev seems amazing.

Sync ATM looks so polished, elegant, material design well implemented, is fast, it hides the bottom nav bar when scrolling down (infinity also does this) etc.

So now I switched to sync as main app. But I still keep updating Infinity until it gets more polished and stable.

(In Reddit I keep using Infinity+).

The app is amazing and I'm not against the Dev just because of what they are charging. They can charge whatever they want, if there is a market willing to pay it's fine.

But 115€ lifetime is like 10-20 times more than the price I would pay. So as a consumer I'll just stay with the free version or another Lemmy app.

As a former infinity user, "Infinity for Lemmy" is the one I'm waiting for. I'm also interested in trying Voyager android app once it is released.

Now this "sync for Lemmy" app looks very well probably the best Lemmy app at the moment. Only thing is lacking for me (so far) is to have community icons in the small cards post layout. (So I can identify what's the topic is about before reading the title).

For the text size I changed base text to Medium and then I changed the specific description and comment relative text size to "Regular". This gives me the same text size as Infinity, at least in the comments.

My dad uses ChromeOS as main and is very limited so getting more Linux from the base (rather than enabling a virtual Linux or Android) would be good for him to support more codecs, Linux apps etc.

On the other hand his laptop (Samsung Chromebook plus) while it has a nice display has terrible performance when I used it in 2023. And had to disable a lot of stuff to make it a bit more bearable. (Like the phone integration between the laptop and the pixel).

What if they are already in and now they can't escape!
