Just so you know, The Sun is a truly shitty horrible, lying rag of a paper - if you’re not from the UK, you wouldn’t know of course, so no criticism, just FYI 🙂

Ooh, I didn’t know about that, thanks for the heads up! So much better! 😁

Thanks, good to know it hasn’t caused issues for many people, at least. Never tried Grapheme maybe it’s time to give it a shot 😁

Yeah, I mean it’s not that things are outlandishly big, but the text on, for example, the BBC News app, or Sync for Lemmy are both now noticeably smaller than before and the battery, wifi and mobile data icons are noticeably larger (plus larger than the app icons at the other end of the notification bar).

Adjusting scaling to sort one issue tends to exacerbate the other.

I’ll just need to play around with it until I find a compromise. Such a pain! 😁

Pixel 6 Pro here. Glad it’s not had a widespread effect. Very annoying, but I’ll just have to adjust individual app settings to try and find a happy compromise.

I use Total too - I wouldn’t say it’s quite 1:1 as it’s not as intuitive, but in terms of customisability, it’s amazing.

Yep - and I recall arguing at the time with one of the Nova people sent to Reddit to try and sell us on the idea that everything was just fine, and nothing would change, and hey, look over there, a huge distracting thing…

It was bullshit then, and so it’s proved. What a waste of a truly exceptional launcher.

No problem 😁

Agreed, that’s exactly what I do too - I use icon swipe all the time though, so I’m confused why you don’t have it.

Admittedly, I swipe folder icons rather than individual apps, but it definitely works, here’s a quick video (link lives for 2 days): https://streamable.com/liybvg

EDIT - looking again, I can’t set swipes on individual app icons either, just the folder icons. Weird, never noticed that before!

It’s a live wallpaper maker, it’s really good - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.kustom.wallpaper

I use Total Launcher - it has up and down swipe gestures but also left and right. It’s a bit of a learning curve, much less intuitive than Nova was at its peak, but very customisable.

That’s amazing!

Bloody toddlers! 😁

It was. Still felt dumb though 😁

Loved my S3. Broke the screen when I leaned against a wall to help my toddler climb down and heard a crack from my trouser pocket 😨

I managed (entirely through text) to talk my 70 year old mother through transferring her Signal account from one phone to another. It really wasn’t that difficult.

Agreed. I’ve been following along with Firefox’s belated, but very welcome development on PWAs for FF on desktop.

I’m not technical at all, so I can’t comment on specifics, but as an end user, I LOVE using PWAs for email, calendar, Teams, etc, rather than the app. Unfortunately I still use Chrome for them but once FF gets it sorted I’ll aim to move away completely.

Thanks, yeah, I was looking at that earlier. Very cool idea, and looks pretty well put together.

Yeah, I saw that with the keyboard, that’s super slick. I’m not in the market for a laptop right now, but if I was, I’d definitely be tempted! Thanks for the info on stability 👍

That looks so unstable, with just that small back rest holding the whole thing up. I’m sure it’s better than it looks, but wow.

They could speed up image sharing by reverting to the old share within Photos functionality that was three taps faster than the new version, and by removing the utterly pointless “Image already in conversation” restriction.
