I bought the Zenfone 9, but now the new Zenfones don't have headphone jacks, so I don't know what phone to buy when I end up needing a new one. There seems to be no phones with headphone jacks that aren't huge, except for the budget phones

Don't know how to post the boomerang, but passed everything else (I think) as a 20 year old gen z

Yeah idk it seems to vary. I have 2 controllers and one has an ok (not great but fine) dpad, while the other constantly presses directions that I don't want to press, and it's been like that since I got it.

You just got lucky, I guess. Or maybe you don't use the joycons as much? I had to send my joycons back because of drift 3 times. Joycons aren't full on falling out, but one of them will come out without pressing the button. Kickstand is also pretty useless, falls out from a tiny bit of pressure.

That's polytonal! I thought he was the 137th pokemon

It wouldn't need to say HighContrastForAccessibilityPurposes though, it would ideally just be HighContrast, and the "for accessibility purposes" would be a comment, right?

Ah right. You could do a paid Redis service if you use the SSPL license though, right?

Yeah. It's not even the fact that they don't implement Nearby Share themselves that's bad, it's that the restrictions they impose on apps means that an app can't even implement Nearby Share themselves

I don't think the 1 month grace period thing should even be legal. If it's sold in the EU, the user should be able to install third party apps, no matter their location.

But paid Redis hosting wouldn't be allowed on the new license.

Where does it say this? I can't see that in the SSPL

it breaks the fundamental freedoms that make up "FOSS"

Why? All the license says is that if you provide it as a service you must release the source code.

There is NO upside to federation with Threads. Zero.

That's a bit of an exaggeration. I don't think it will affect Lemmy at all, since it's a different type of posts. But in terms of Mastodon, it means a whole lot more content for Mastodon users, and a whole lot more people to follow. And also means that people can move to Mastodon while still having the audience that Threads provides.

Of course if you think that the downsides are worse than the upsides, then that doesn't really matter. But don't say there are NO upsides.

How do you set it up without a server. I can't get past this screen

Edit: Also on that web page is says that downloads are locked behind Plex Pass, that's pretty vital...

Yeah I just wish there was a toggle.

Also didn't they have a thing like smart shuffle before, it was just called radio. But they seem to have removed it and replaced it with smart shuffle for playlists. I can only see the radio option for albums. That was better, because then it only did it when I wanted it.

Need a Plex server though :/

Also cost $6.50AUD a month, way too much.

Also what is the change to playlists? I wasn't aware Spotify had folders. Did they remove them?

Edit: Nevermind they're still there. What did they change?

I love it because I never use liked songs (I don't understand how people do, using the same playlist forever. Do your tastes never change? Idk each to their own).

So it means 1: I can easily add songs to multiple playlists at once. I have 4 different playlists that I listen to, and sometimes a song fits all 4, and it used to take 12 taps to add it to all 4 (tap dots, tap add, tap playlist, 4 times). Now it only takes 6.

2: I can now see if the song is already in a playlist. Before the only way was to try adding it to the playlist and see if it warned me of a duplicate.

3: Now I can see at a glance if it's added to a playlist. If it's added to 1 playlist then it's probably added to all the playlists it needs to be.

And you can still add songs to your liked songs in 1 tap. I feel like the reason most people dont like it is because it's a change that they aren't used to.

But really, the ideal solution would've been if Spotify just added a settings option to change it back to the old way. But Spotify seems to be vehemently opposed to options.

Also, what's way worse than the new like button is the stupid "smart shuffle". I just want to turn off shuffle, but now I have to press it again. And it's also really buggy, it will often display shuffle as off when it's really on smart shuffle, so I get unpleasantly surprised with some random song I've never heard. I really wish there were third party apps for Spotify, cause the Spotify app kinda sucks

Yeah. The number one reason I won't subscribe is that if their library is missing a song, you can't even add it yourself. Both Spotify and Apple Music allow adding your own MP3s, how does Tidal not have that feature?!

Yeah. Had that problem with Chants of Senaar and Return of the Obra Dinn. Keeping notes definitely helps though.
