"How" like how to enable it? I don't know.

"How" like how does it work? It adds layers to the raw data.

I just really hate the noise reduction in JPEGs on Pixel Phones. You can't "crop and zoom" at all! It looks like some weird painting style.

IPhone does it right by adding all of the AI processing to RAW files as data, so you can crop and edit a raw file and then apply the same AI processing it would have had it you had used JPEG mode.

Yeah, but we're the exceptional 4%.

I watched a video years ago where poor street cooks in SE Asia were "mining" cooking oil out of the sewer. They would refine it and use it to cook food.

Edit: It was China. I think I found the exact video, but it turns out there are a lot of similar videos!

Fun fact from the video: it's estimated that 10% of cooking oil in China is "gutter oil".

Everything I've seen and read says exercise won't actually change how many calories you burn in a day. It's still super healthy to do, but does not replace a calorie deficit.

Your anecdote seems to support that. You burned up all your blood sugar by biking 10 miles and then almost passed out. So now you're just going to laze around for hours burning fewer calories than you would have during that time had you not exercised.

I've dieted before and always embraced the "eat your exercise calories" idea. Exercise is good for your body, but any calories spent doing it should be eaten as extra food outside of your normal calorie goals.

Congrats?

Consider taking up scuba diving. It normally requires active ear pressure normalization (Valsalva maneuver), but it sounds like you're one of the rare people who will have a wonderful time never having to worry about that.

Why not change countries? I think about doing so all of the time because fuck the USA. Goddamn shithole country. But I, too, have million reasons not to. -_-

If you're switching from a github alpha (debug) version, this version will install side-by-side with your current version, so there should be no risk of data loss. However, it's always good to backup your settings, layout, icons, and wallpaper anyway, and this will also let you restore these things in the Play Store version.

To create a backup of you current Lawnchair settings:

  1. Open the "Home settings" by long-pressing anywhere in the blank space between icons on your home screen and choosing "Home settings".
  2. Use the three-dot menu in the upper right to choose Create Backup. Save the file somewhere handy.
  3. Later, restore that backup in the new version of Lawnchair.

It's weird having both versions installed. When I open my app drawer and search for Lawnchair, I only get one result, and now that I've restored my backup, I can't even tell which version is being launched when I tap that icon. Thankfully the alpha version is named "Lawnchair (Debug)" in the Apps list, and I can now uninstall the debug version.

You're getting angry at misinformation.

As a kid, I had this tabletop video game called "Dracula" that featured a multicolor VFD display. I loved that game.

Before ATMs, bank drive-throughs (the ones with multiple lanes for cars) had pneumatic tubes to send cash and checks to the bank teller, or receive cash.

Some probably still do. I feel like I used one within the past 10 years.

 

This was a comment I made on a "sink" post the mods deleted, and I think it's an issue that needs addressing, so I'm pasting it here. The comment I replied to said something like "Superscript and spoilers have always worked fine in Sync".


Ironically, that isn't valid Lemmy markdown. Sync should be supporting Lemmy markdown, not Reddit markdown. Here's what your comment looks like on the website:

This is^superscript^ and you can also do~subscript~.

Here's what it should look like:

Instead, you get this:

Personally I don't like Lemmy's syntax for spoilers, but Sync should still support it!

I'm surprised that actually even works in Sync. It didn't used to. However, Sync doesn't show my code block accurately, which is funny as fuck! No app should be editing my code block. Sync is replacing my text with reddit markdown in order for it to display properly. And even when I put that markdown in a code block, it still converts it to reddit style! It also strips out the warning text!

Here is what I actually typed:

And here's what Sync shows:

What a lazy ass way of doing it. It removes an important feature: the warning text, and won't even let me show Sync users how to do a proper spoiler!

Oh, WTF. Sync butchered my comment when editing it! I had to fix it back on desktop.

Sync is not fine. It's full of bugs that the dev is ignoring.
