Not fantasy; I am reading The Brothers Karamazov. I am now at around 25% mark. An interesting love triangle seems to have developed involving Alyosha’s brothers Ivan, Dimitri and Dimitri’s fiance. Dimitri has made a mess of things and poor Alyosha’s trying to help by mediation.

I see my phone’s colour only when I unbox it. After that the phone is in a case the whole time. I am least bothered with the colour of the phone.

On Mastodon I have used the option of “muting” users whose content I am not interested in at all. This has improved my feed a lot.

In my case the algorithm bored the heck out of me. I stopped using Facebook since 2015. Even the youtube algorithm has started boring me now and I am happy with newpipe.

I just started using Mastodon. It’s been around 10 days or so. I am already having a lot of good engagement there. I guess “no algorithm” works best for me. I used to get bored of scrolling twitter or even reddit within 15 minutes or so. On Mastodon on certain days I can easily spend 45 minutes or more.

I agree with you on this. According to me the writing and character work is subpar and so I have stayed away from other works by the author. But this series is very popular and I don’t get why that is the case.

OK

Just to confirm, this edge panel function is Samsung feature, right?

Copying from recent apps is Pixel specific, if I remember right?

Seriously, I thought I was the only person clumsy/stupid enough to mess up on text selection.

I personally do enjoy world building, but not at the cost of characterisation. So I guess this series is definitely not for me.

Will try that out next.

How is battery life and heating issues compared to A52s, which comes with snapdragon chip?

Thanks for posting Bik’s link. Another account to follow!

Me too. Tried the first. Didn’t make much progress.

Red Rising. I tried to like it. Couldn’t get through more than 20%. Seemed very YA and characters seemed very flat.

I started watching star trek in my late thirties. Tried TOS, couldn’t tolerate more than one episode. Then started TNG and fell in love half way through first season. Now I am on Voyager. According to me, it’s a good replacement for me for TNG. Not sure what I will watch once I finish this.

Yes that must have felt great!

I have started following hashtag, like books, reading, technology, cats, dogs, etc. I have also started following a few people that I have noticed share content that I am interested in. I am finding interesting content. Also, certain amount of engagement in the comments. So far, a good experience. It’s only been a few days, however.

I hardly use reddit at this point. I never used twitter. In fact, using the Fediverse got me curious and decided to check out Mastodon. Just been using it for a few days and trying out stuff and must say I am kind of enjoying it.
