My favorite unicode character is zero width space. One of its funniest properties is that it's not a whitespace.

Also, some programming languages treat it as a valid identifier.

I suspect that results would be different if the app was a bunch of boring forms with complex validation rules, which is often encountered in jobslop.

Not necessarily that Angular would win that, but I imagine that it would at least significantly shuffle the order.

I'm not interested in VR/AR stuff, but I'm still waiting for dumb lightweight wireless glasses that would be able to replace my four monitor setup on PC.

Discord is my favorite communication platform on the internet. It combines everything useful that was offered by older platforms like IRC, Skype and TeamSpeak, and provides that with a modern UI.

For me, it also helps that all of my favorite communities are on it.

No, and I've had this since early teenage years at least.

I'm probably immune to this because my circadian rhythm disorder (N24) jetlags me by one hour every day.

When AI labs mature and inference costs start to matter, they will start optimizing for inference cost instead of sacrificing everything for intelligence.

But even without that, open weight models are already good enough and everyone would be fine with paying unsubsidized prices for them.

I switched to GrapheneOS this week, and it looks like I lucked out with my country in that regard.

Government digital signature app fully trusts GrapheneOS since it uses hardware attestation rather than Play Integrity, so I have access to all government services.

My bank's app runs on GrapheneOS but doesn't fully trust it. Device is labeled as insecure, biometric login is disabled, and transaction limits are significantly lower, but is otherwise functional for daily use.

Bank accepts logins authenticated with government digital signature app, so I can use that to login into the bank's web app and make transactions without reduced limits there.

The bank's app relies on Google Wallet for contactless payments, which doesn't work on GrapheneOS, but it looks like there are workarounds for this like Curve Pay that do work on GrapheneOS. Haven't tested this myself, since I just use a physical card.

I got a used pixel 10a and installed GrapheneOS on it partly due to this.

Yes, because GrapheneOS completely controls app installation and google play services is just an optional module.

Opposite for me. I pirated and emulated some switch games that I wouldn't have played on an actual device because I don't like handhelds and I hate playing games at 30 FPS and in low resolution. Any polish and intended experience goes out of the window when I'm constantly distracted by terrible framerate.

The worst it can get is having to reinstall windows with an image modified to run first setup with a local account. Though with a lot of manufacturers it's a good idea to do that anyway to also avoid all of the bloatware they preinstall.

>Or jotting down any kind of quick idea I have when I am on the road (frequently).

Seems way too inconvenient compared to opening a notes app on a phone. I always have a phone with me, but there's no way I'd ever bring paper with me when leaving home.

>Or sketching an idea for a screen print or art design.

Fundamentally niche, but if ever wanted to draw anything, I'd get a tablet.

>Or making notes about what groceries to pick up the next time the wife and I head to the grocery store.

I use the cart of the grocery delivery app as a grocery list when going there in person. But if I didn't I'd just make a checklist in a notes app.

I personally only have negative association with anything related to paper, handwriting, and stationery, since it reminds me of school.

Maybe it would be different if I wasn't forced to use them to do things I hated for 10000+ hours.

I haven't used paper for anything since I graduated college 10 years ago. Excluding education where I only used paper because I was forced to, closer to 20 years. I would much rather open a text editor or a spreadsheet on PC.
