>Motion is critical for reorientation after transition.

The only case I can think of where this is true is on scroll, and that barely counts as animation. Anything else is an irritating waste of time.

The absolute worst offence is animating page content on scroll. Great job making me wait on pointless nonsense while scanning your website for the bit I'm looking for. People who do this should be sent to reeducation camps. Both for the animation, and for disregarding 'prefers-reduced-motion'.

This is already way beyond what vinyl is able to reproduce. The best case is roughly 12-bits PCM equivalent. Literally not an issue in the slightest.

>I never bought into the recent vinyl hype.

For me, it's the expense and the inconvenience... as the meme goes. But anyway - I just like it; when I put on a record it's like "I'm doing this now and nothing else". Sitting on the couch and listening to Dark Side with a glass of wine. Remembering when my dad used to play records and I wasn't allowed to touch it because the stylus was expensive and fragile. It's a vibe, as the kids say.

When I ran OwnCloud (on Debian), I installed from their APT repo, and one "apt upgrade" handled everything. It was nice and easy, and I didn't have any problems with it.

NextCloud uses its own updater* (which I don't like), and aside from some recent MariaDB snafu it's been very low maintenance.

  (*)sudo -u www-data php /var/www/nextcloud/updater/updater.phar

The good OwnCloud is abandoned, and instead they released some meme enterprise nonsense.

I'm running NextCloud, but I hesitate to call it good, because of its kitchen sink approach to features. I really want 2015 era OwnCloud with just files, it being PHP/MariaDB/Apache-based. I refuse to use anything that requires Docker, which is most of the slop alternatives currently available.

You don't need to run oCIS in docker, you can use the bare-metal installation: https://owncloud.dev/ocis/deployment/systemd/

just one remark, get the image from assets: https://github.com/owncloud/ocis/releases/tag/v8.0.4

I run nextcloud on a NixOS server within a systemd container, so no Docker.

You can remove almost app in Nextcloud. It is pretty modular. You can have a files only Nextcloud, last time I tried.

>I do not use a case

I have a Pixel 8a, and I have to use a case for it, because it appears to be designed to be as slippery as possible. Every edge is round and there's nothing to grip - it feels like an aluminium/glass bar of wet soap.

Recently went from an 8 to a 10 pro fold

The 10 feels like it should be more slippery, but for some reason, it isn't. It stays stuck in your hand like glue, despite the back feeling like another glass screen. Something special in is coating

Interesting. That's been one of my main issues with my normal 8 Pro. Sometimes I'm tempted to go caseless but the damn thing is so slick.

Yeah, it's one of those things that's hard to describe, but the 10pf, despite being thicker and heavier, seems to be easier to hold

Since I sometimes like to walk and browse, I ordered one of the Qi rings that goes on the back of the device, since it's just magnetic, I can remove it for pocketing and such

Yeah I use a case with a magsafe compatible ring embedded in it and I have one of the magnetic popsockets on there for extra ease of grabbing. Glad that's showing up in the next gen of pixels maybe by the time I upgrade it'll still be there or in way more phones too.

I have a 9 pro and it was very slippery at first. I put it face down on a slanted table and it slid right off once.

Anyway, I took the case off after a while. It's not new anymore. Your mileage may vary, but despite dropping it a bunch, it hasn't shattered and the edge only shows some slight marks from falling.

I ride a motorcycle (not a big one), and it will slip out of my short's pocket onto the road pavement, every, single, time, without a case.

Motorcycle meant I went with quadlock case.

But am now in the quadlock system of attaching my phone to anything else.... IE car mounts too. SO quadlock got a bunch of my money.

Maybe I'm a buyer trying to justify my sunk costs, but to Quadlock's credit, once all matched, I think it works well.

And for the 3D printerists, there is a bunch of Quadlock 3D models to help out too.

It's hysterical that CloudFlare is tarpitting their actual customers just the same as the rest of the public internet.

You really think an individual employee trying to help a customer when they likely have little impact on org wide issues like how customer support is run is tarpitting? Seems a bit uncharitable

I've always hated Gmail. I still do. But I switched jobs last year, and the new place uses Outlook instead. I struggle to find a word that adequately describes my disdain for Outlook; hate doesn't even begin to cover it. It struggles at the most basic of tasks: receiving and sending email. I'll get a notification on my phone about an email. I open the app and there's nothing. Pull down to refresh does nothing. It takes about 1-15 minutes to appear usually. Everything I do in Outlook is tedious as fuck.

Many moons ago, in like Office 2003 times, I used Outlook as well, and I don't remember it being this bad. How did it regress so badly?

Don't even get me started on Teams - I don't really know what problem that program is supposed to solve. Also our shared files are in OneDrive. But they're also in Teams. And they're also in Outlook for some reason. I had to transfer a bunch of computer backups (CloneZilla images) to OneDrive/Teams/Outlook. About 30 or so GB. It took forever, and my 6-core Ryzen laptop with Win11 was spinning its fans like mad the entire time. How? Why?

The number of times at my last job I had to tell someone to re-send me an e-mail because Outlook search couldn't find anything with "GitLab Upgrade" in the subject line (let alone the twelve message thread it was part of) was staggering.

Also, my most hated functionality in Outlook: distribution groups (or whatever they call them). Instead of saying "devops@corp.com forwards to this list of people", you say "Devops is this group of people", so when you send an email to "Devops" it goes to all of those people. Sure, great.

Except that it means that you can't filter by that. Saying 'Devops' is just shorthand for saying "This guy, this guy, this guy, and this guy" explicitly. If you say "e-mails sent to Devops" Outlook interprets that as "e-mails with any of this group of people in the To or CC field", meaning that Outlook filters couldn't distinguish between "e-mails sent to me" and "e-mails sent to my team". Since I almost always had someone from my team CC'ed on e-mails I sent, it meant that my "e-mails sent to Devops" filter just matched every e-mail coming or going.

It ended up being that the alerting and monitoring e-mails we got I was only able to filter because the relevant tools put various headers into the e-mail (like X-Nagios-Alert or whatever) or they came from specific e-mail addresses (which was not always reliable but was often reliable enough).

You open an email, you READ IT.

But it remains unread until you open another email and read it ... and only then, not immediately but after like 1-2 seconds, the previous email gets marked as read ...

Why?

There's a setting to fix this. But it's criminal that this is the default

We used to be able to send arbitrary files between phones using Bluetooth. Where did that go? We had a bit of a music piracy ring going at school for a time. Good times.
