The slider was probably the feature that I liked least about my OnePlus phones, and it was actually a factor in me deciding to not get a OnePlus phone again. Unlike the iPhone switch, which had an action that was perpendicular to the direction that my phone was moving when putting it into my pocket, the OnePlus phone's slider was parallel to that movement. So the slider would change positions every time my phone would go into my pocket. I like my phone on vibrate 99.9% of the time, so I always needed it in the middle position, which was the hardest one to get it into. I always found myself wishing I could disable that feature, but I never found a way to.

I never liked the physical switch because I would switch it on accident. I want my phone on vibrate 99.9% of the time, so the switch is kind of wasted space, which is why I like the idea of the programmable button better than the switch.

Android actually improved their silent/vibrate/ring switching a couple of years ago. You no longer need to go into the settings or even the quick settings. You just press one of the volume buttons, and a little pop-up comes up showing your volume level. On that pop-up, there's a button to toggle the silent/vibrate/ring state. I think it's easy enough, but you do need to have your screen on, which I could see defeating the purpose for people who use that feature a lot.

I'm fairly certain that on some Android phones it is programmable. I could have sworn it was on my OnePlus 5, anyway.

My wife had a mental health crisis last year where she could pretty much only scream and cry. For about 6 months, her life was only screaming and crying. She couldn't sleep. She couldn't eat. I mean, she ate, but it often involved gagging and forcing food down. At her worst, she went three whole days without sleep. We took her to the ER, and they basically just gave her Xanax and anti nausea medication to help her eat, then sent her home. Xanax helped in the moment but made everything 10x worse in the long run.

After several months, we finally got an appointment with a psychiatrist and started trying different medications. It was a long and painful process to find the right one, and we had to change psychiatrists once because of laws in our area preventing online psychiatrists from prescribing certain medications. But we eventually found a psychiatrist and combination of medications that works for her. It took a few months of being on it for it to really start helping. But she's doing very well. She started working again recently. She can run errands on her own. She can be left at home by herself.

My answer is: see a psychiatrist.

I only pirate when the company makes it extremely hard for me to pay for the product or I would be paying for a worse product than if I pirated.

For example, I watch a lot of hockey. The NHL has an idiotic system where I would need to pay for like 4 different services - including cable TV - to watch every game of my favorite team. They would all be in different places, so I would need to figure out where each game is being broadcast, then go to that service. Depending on the broadcaster, the quality may be finished (lower resolution or framerate). If I pirate the games, every game is on the same web page. Every game is 1080p at 60fps. I just click my bookmark and hit play when the game starts.

I'm in a good place financially, and I want to financially support things that I like so I can get more things that I like. But if a company isn't going to make a game available for me to buy, then it's getting pirated (Nintendo, I'm looking at you).

I kinda got lucky. I wanted to install a new, bigger SSD. At the same time, I had been wanting to start doing backups, but was too lazy to set it up. Two birds, one stone. Set up backups, tested it by copying everything to the new SSD. Everything worked first try!

I used rsnapshot for backups. I made a little container that spins up, pulls my data, then shuts down. And then I made a script that does that and made cron jobs for it.

Oh. I just checked. I'm on 0.3.79, and yes it's fixed. I just had to disable my service to check. Thanks for the heads up!

which aspects you get smooth scrolling?

All of it? It doesn't stutter while scrolling. It just scrolls. Every other app, especially Jerboa stutters bad for me, and will randomly change where I am scrolled. The reddit app is the worst in this regard, but that's a different site, obviously.

I sometimes scroll in the main feed and it refreshes it completely

I have never once seen that in Voyager, but I see it other apps.

I did have an issue a while back where if a post was half on the screen and half not, when I would tap it, it would change my scroll position. But since I switched to compact view, that doesn't happen anymore.

I'm using the native app.

Same

Me every fucking day with our testers.

I use it every day. I find it very good. Scrolling is smooth. Lots of customization options. It remembers where you were in your scroll when you do other things. Things get marked as read correctly.

There's room for improvement, and development on it has slowed quite a bit in the past month. But overall I find it very good.

The IDE will tell you and fix it for you.

My first phones were flip phones. 👴
