If you can see the "show contact info" dropdown below, I follow you. If you want me to, ask and I'll think about it.
how's the iphone experience on Linux.
if i must I'm willing to keep a windows install but I figure after setup they're probably don't require a host OS.
but the watch ecosystem is so much better and Google screwed me twice in one week (delaying hugely important security patches for a week with no feedback, and the "strongest gorilla glass yet" prince ruperting after a 3ft fall, not to mention all the terrible pixel 6 experiences)
as an ADHD person is the apple watch worth switching phones over
I can't necessarily speak to everything, but I will say, as an ADHD person, my apple watch has absolutely helped my life.
Just the ability to quickly glance at messages without getting sucked into my phone and trailing off at distractions, and to set timers and alarms quickly, and just glance at info without having the rest of the distraction box in my pocket calling to me has been real nice.
I don't love the Apple ecosystem - I wish I had more customizability and I wish there were a lot of things that I just don't have - but damn if it's an improvement over like, basic shit or nothing at all.
imo iphone experience on linux is better than on macOS, but that's because i avoid music.app like the plague. (the music app i currently use lets you use what used to be called "itunes file sharing", which libimobiledevice handles very well (a virtual filesystem i can rsync into) and which macOS finder handles very poorly)
if the only music you listen to is via streaming and you don't do app development you will never need to plug it into a computer
i guess nixos is technically the most bimboproof system you can get, really, if you're putting everything on git
I was given an apple watch, a bargain at the price. I forget to wear it some days. It’s cool tech but I don’t think it’s adding much except apple pay. I’m pretty sure the step counter is useless as it counted a thousand steps on the bus. I put it in wheelchair mode and now it nags me to push the chair a certain distance. which is the opposite of why I have a chair.
As for iOS, can’t speak to linux but I got pissed off with Google years ago when I found the pages for “here’s where you’ve been every moment for the last two years” and “also here’s the timestamps for every time you opened an app activity (ie, the compose page, mentions and timeline on twitter separately logged).
Genuinely tempted next time to just not have a damn phone
im thinking more notifications and at a glance task lists, but yeah also those
Oh yeah I turned off every single notification that wasn’t a phone call immediately. Possibly I’m using it wrong
while I haven't used an apple watch, or linux much for that matter, I also haven't had an excuse to connect my iPhone to my computer with a wire in several years. Lighting is USB 2.0 speeds and file transfers are much faster over wireless, but I also haven't really had a need to do that either (photos eventually get added to my mega account when I'm switching phones, I stream my music losslessly with plexamp).
