  • It's really good to see this spreading to more manufacturers (although I'm not sure if this will also apply to their lower range devices). Especially because even though your OS updates may be capped at 4 years, you will still receive app updates for 2+ more years, including system apps. As opposed to iOS, where your system apps stop at your last update and developers bump minimum OS versions quite quickly.

  • As @8orange8@lemm.ee said (https://lemmy.ml/comment/3459977), I believe they have different use cases. The TL;DR is: syncthing to have the same copy of a file across different devices, LocalSend to move files between devices directly.

    On syncthing you have to upload the file to the synced folder and then download the file to your device, so like device A -> server -> device B.

    Whereas on LocalSend you send the file directly between the devices, like device A -> device B.

  • LocalSend has been a godsend (pun intended) to me. I used Snapdrop/Sharedrop before, but it was always a coin toss if the transfer would work or not. I ended up switching to filedrop, but for some reason my transfer speeds were really low.

    With LocalSend my issues have been all but resolved. I can send huge files between my pc and phone without fear of it disconnecting, and it works on my pc, old notebook, my dad's iPhone and my android phone. I really can't thank Tienisto (the creator) enough for what he built.

  • In my country, they are mostly coming from less tech-literate users. I have seen:

    • It was installed without consent
    • You can't uninstall it
    • Google is installing for financial benefits
    • It's a virus that installed by itself
    • It's being used to spy on people
    • Useless app meant to fill phone memory

    And many more colorful things.

  • In my experience, Active and Hot have been opposite extremes of freshness. Active shows posts that are more than a day old, and Hot shows posts that have no comments and are just a couple of minutes old.

    Not to say it's all bad. Your post was just a couple of scrolls down on my feed.

  • GSMARENA Phone Finder is pretty amazing. You can filter by basically any phone characteristic you want. Back material? Yep. Refresh rate? Also yes. Proximity sensor? You got it. Minimum wired charging wattage? Sure, why not.

    I've yet to find a more comprehensive one.

    Edit: taking a look at Kimovil. It seems like it has much of the same filters as Phone Finder, but with the bonus of also showing price, which is nice.

  • I made a comment about this some time ago:

    I came across GreenStash sometime ago.

    If it's not what you are looking for, take a look at the "Expense Managers" section here. It lists both FOSS and proprietary apps.

    Take a look in this thread: https://feddit.nl/post/1428354

  • I think OP is mixing up IRC and Matrix. IRC indeed does require you to be online to receive messages (but there are ways around that), but matrix loads your messages offline just fine.

    Checked it now and I have 3k unread messages on the lemmy support chart.
