Android users who have a keen eye for design and detail, how is the whole stutter/lag situation? Esp. after a few years of use?

I haven't used an Android device since my last one, the Galaxy S8. Beautiful hardware, beautiful design, but it was plagued with animation stutters and dropped frames. I switched to an iPhone and an iPad around 6 years ago. And the animations were buttersmooth. It was almost unthinkable to achieve such a fluid interface on any...

Drusas ,

I had problems with my Pixel 5 crashing all the damn time but haven't had any issues with the 6 (or when I had the 4).

Drusas ,

"Man" also means "humankind". In fact, it was originally a gender-neutral word.

Ernest needs to quickly delegate or this instance will quickly die (kbin.social)

I appreciate that earnest made a post yesterday, or maybe it was the day before, saying that he is not dead and hasn't given up on kbin. It's not on this magazine, so I'm not sure where it was since this seems to be the most appropriate one, but in any case....

As someone in the tech community who grows and uses yuzu, and who also subscribes to gardening communities, I'll be kind of relieved to see the name only used for fruit again.

Drusas ,

They are different fruits in English.

Drusas ,

Life with ME/CFS .

OP admitting to not teaching their kid how to do dishes.

Drusas ,

Children do.

Drusas ,

Looking both ways doesn't help when a car approaches at 74 fucking mph.

Drusas ,

He "chirped" his siren when going through the intersection. That's not the same as going lights and sirens.

Drusas ,

They found her noise canceling earbuds on the road next to her.

I agree it's stupid to walk around as a pedestrian with noise canceling anything on your ears, but it's the norm these days. Or what if she had been deaf? These people exist.

And you're coming awfully damn close to victim-blaming.

Drusas ,

The punishment is laughable, but being barred from law enforcement in the state is very much a step in the right direction. Every state in the Union should have stiff laws in place which prevent bad cops from simply moving from one jurisdiction to the next.

Drusas ,

Good goat.

Drusas ,

They serve different purposes.

Dogs are a deterrent. Cameras are (in most residential use cases) for catching someone after the fact.

Drusas ,

Not all attics are that accessible. Mine is basically an above-house crawlspace full of insulation such that you need a mask.

Drusas ,

As a gamer, I can only wonder what Path of Exile has to do with this. What does PoE stand for here?

Drusas ,

And if the police pursue it. I know. Kind of a lose lose situation.

Drusas ,

Most dogs don't bark that much, but some certainly do.

Drusas ,

Requires a different type of mask, but yes, I have many masks of different types.

Drusas ,
  1. You have completely missed the point of attics not always being very accessible in order to argue for no good reason.
  2. Yes, I would. The respirator type mask which you require in that environment is very stuffy and tough on someone like me who has a lung condition.
  3. It being tiny makes it more inaccessible than the need for a mask does. The opening into the attic is narrow. I can fit through it, but most Americans would not be able to. Once up there, you have to crawl. I have a medical condition affecting my muscles which makes it exceedingly difficult to crawl.

Point is, once again, that not all attics are accessible. This isn't a discussion about masks.

Drusas ,

Going with "your experience doesn't count because you're a little different" is not the winning argument you might want it to be.

Drusas ,

It seems like you're just refusing to acknowledge that you are frustrating medical staff by making your problem worse. Repeatedly.

Drusas ,

They've been doing that for years now.

Drusas ,

Pension, lol. What is this, the fifties?

Drusas ,

I've got to be honest, as a fellow American with chronic health problems, that seems dirt cheap for a diagnosis.

Drusas ,

Don't disagree, but it's not a bad price if you're an American stuck with our shitty, exploitative system.

Drusas ,

I'll never understand all these people with such sensitive digestive systems that they can't eat Taco Bell.

Drusas ,

I've got terrible digestive problems myself and Taco Bell is something that doesn't set me off, so I'll never get it. It's not spicy, it's not super greasy.... But I guess I tend to get the less un-food-like options (such as a regular bean burrito, which has nothing particularly bad in it unless you're sensitive to beans).

Drusas ,

Which are not common problems at Taco Bell.

Drusas ,

Two instances does not make something common.

Drusas ,

Stating factual information is not simping. Two outbreaks does not make it a common problem, no matter how you feel about the corporation.

Drusas ,

You can't (successfully) sue someone for quitting and you can't fire them when they have already quit.

Drusas ,

I have never heard of notice being in a contract. I'm sure it's a thing, but it's very uncommon.

Drusas ,

I'm speaking for the United States, minus Montana (if I recall correctly).

Neither employers nor employees are required to give notice. However, it is standard practice that employers do not give notice and employees do (usually two weeks).

Drusas ,

Oh, the vast majority of us agree with you. Yet here we are.

Drusas ,

Yes, but doctors aren't very good at it.

Drusas ,

I agree, but I'm not going to hold my breath over that happening.

Drusas ,

I think this is the first real TIL for me in ages.

Drusas , (edited )

I wonder how those laws handle disabled people who can't shovel snow and don't have someone to do it for them. Expect them to hire somebody to do it? The disabled are generally not well off financially, so that's not really a solution.

Drusas ,

I'm sure you're right.

Drusas ,

I highly doubt many are part of those groups.

Drusas ,

Meanwhile, everyone knew this and the Fed targeted individuals instead of corporations when trying to tackle it.

A rant about an experience I had with Google maps today.

I am currently studying in college and part of my college course dictates that I most do a work experience placement. I ended being placed in a charity shop. The first couple of days went well. Its a small little shop in a shopping center so there wasn't much for me to do. So they decided that today I'll do some work in the...

Drusas ,

Similarly, Google maps thinks that my driveway on a dead-end street is actually on the street behind my house. Fortunately, it only messes up its directions when you're leaving the house.

Drusas ,

The house itself is correctly located on the map. The driveway is not.

Drusas ,

You're one of my new favorite people.

Drusas ,

You might be surprised to learn that leftists also own weapons.

Drusas ,

I don't eat a whole lot of junk food, but Andy Capp's Hot Fries are far and away superior to Hot Cheetos. One of few true total junk foods that I do occasionally eat.

Drusas ,

To those who use the jarred garlic, you should try getting a small food processor. It makes getting a bunch of minced garlic a breeze, and there really is a big difference.
