  • That’s something I notice Samsung Health doing. Letting users input calories as is. There’s also a calorie goal, but I haven’t explore much whether that’s a default it gave based on weight and height; it also have further body composition data it would like, so my guess the calorie goal would also take that into account; if not fully customizable with your own goal.

    But using Samsung Health means it will be locked down in their ecosystem, and also most likely harvested for whatever they want that data for; most likely more ads for their smart juicer or smart fridge or something.








  • As a first time Samsung user (with OneUI 7. So I never had experience when they were very bad from what I heard), I like a few of their apps more than Google’s or other options tbh. Their Notes app is basically needed for handwriting notes using the stylus. I like their Calendar app more than Google’s, and it’s a toss between Fossify Calendar. Their Clock app is kind of amazing that I can make alarm groups that I can set to turn on or off based on a few conditions.

    Bixby and AI stuff though can fuck off. Turned it off immediately.



  • If you’d like to have a bit more control than just either turning on/off/hide classes of notifications as provided by Android, I recommend getting Buzzkill. There’s a few other apps that does this but I don’t remember their names.

    But basically the gist is that you can set rules for notifications by app basis, if-then arguments and a few other methods I didn’t touch on to control how notifications show. Batch them together every few hours. Block them from showing during certain time periods and/or days. Mute notifications for a few minutes when that one guy in the group chat that likes to send 1 sentence in 100 lines.

    I’m not sure if Buzzkill is open source or not; I can’t recall if I ever checked it.



  • Very curious about piefed - looking forward to a mobile app in the near future hopefully!

    I really like it on desktop. On default front end, it clicked the easiest. Though for lemmy I still prefer Tesseract, but all the other inherent features that’s not on lemmy, especially comments consolidation for same link, just trounces lemmy for me.

    The android app Interstellar is testing piefed support, although currently only allows preferred.social instance IIRC. I registered on the flagship piefed.social instance, and I’m a bit too lived in on it to change instance. Maybe it’s better to see if I can migrate my account.





  • Good point. I’ll try invizible.

    I chose NextDNS when Android supports custom DNS. And dont wamt to run a “VPN” all the time. It just works for my threat model.

    Found out about it from Tech Lore. Customizing the filters just felt natural since that’s what I do with ublock anyways

    PIA I use for torrenting as well so I don’t think I’ll ever stop that subscription


  • It definitely is still Winging. But I keep delaying to fix the the broken USB C and now I only charge using wireless. It also needs a battery replacement and each day I delay pretty sure it gets harder to get genuine parts.

    It has fell a few tines with it open and I’m surprised that it’s still working.

    Will miss the bad boy when the time comes. While unconventional, it convinces me that I want a dual screen / foldable phone / “small phone that can go big phone in one device”. Just that those are too expensive to justify.


  • From the description:

    InviZible Pro is an all-in-one program. After installing it, you can easily delete all of your VPN applications and ad blockers. In most cases, InviZible Pro works better, is more stable, and faster than free VPNs.

    Obviously it would be better than free VPN services. But I’m wondering how it would stack with my current set up. I already paid for NextDNS and PIA. Usually I don’t run PIA unless I want to access spicy stuff. And 99.999% my NextDNS stuff works fine.

    I’d love to pay less but I also want to know what I’m trading for it
