    I've installed it myself now and your post helped a bunch! Loving it so far, it's much faster and I haven't really had trouble with any google apps so far as I just install an alternative. It's actually really easy to find APK files online these days as well :)

    Thanks for posting! I have a Samsung S6 lite and it is so slow to boot up or do anything and there is so much bloat it's unreal, battery lasts for like a day in standby. Think I'll give this a shot, seems a lot nicer :)

    I have not been able to login to my Lemmy account on the sh.itjust.works instance as of this afternoon. I keep crashing and getting the error: java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "Active" Is there anything I can do to fix this or is it just a problem with the new Lemmy update?

    Samsung Galaxy Earbuds SM-R170

    Bought these earbuds originally in 2019 and I have not been disappointed. I have tried several other types and brands but none of them come close to the sound quality or durability of these bad boys! The noise cancellation is also fantastic on them as well as the battery life. They're a bit hard to track down now as Samsung have stopped selling them and only sell the newer versions, unfortunately. Be aware that some of the newer versions do not fit airtight in the ears, which means no noise cancellation. I've also recently tried Google Buds and the difference between the audio quality is night and day. Where the Google Buds are tinny with no noise cancellation, the Samsung Buds are deep and rich, with fantastic noise cancellation. Overall, highly recommended!

    Currently almost finished of Jade City and it's just interesting enough to keep me going. Very interesting take on a magic system being like a drug, but this one is mostly about political intrigue.

    If you wanted a story about an alternate history Japan with drug-magic powered Yakuza clans, then this book is for you!

    Wow, I hadn't even heard about the Twitter DMs, that's really ridiculous.

    And I think federated sites like Lemmy and kbin are the future of the internet, I mean, no ads, decentralized, and I mean we were already making all of the content on Reddit so it's not like we need them for anything when we have Lemmy.

    I'm really hoping he does see that Reddit is nothing without its users and treating them badly does have consequences.

    Pronation correcting shoes?

    What are people's thoughts on shoes made to fix pronation? I used to have a pair of new balances that were supposed to help with pronation, but now that I have a new pair of shoes, my pronation has gotten worse again. Does pronation really matter in running or is it just one of those things that they use to sell more expensive shoes?

    I did find the mountains of madness very boring. I also loved the tomb and thought Herbert West - Reanimator was also very good.

    Some of his stuff is way better than others, so if you're not vibing with one story, don't feel bad about trying another!

    Some other good reads are The Nameless City and The Picture in the House.

    The name of the wind is absolutely one of the best fantasy books ever written, the only thing is that the author is not likely to finish the series anytime soon. The second book in the triology came out in 2011 and still has no date for the third to be released :/

    I think if anybody can get VR to be adopted by the masses it would be Apple. However, at this price I just don't think it's possible for the majority of people, even Apple Fanboys, to be able to afford.

    If they had released this for $1500 I think that price point would be a lot more enticing for people, especially those who haven't tried VR before.

    It's unbelievable how's user hostile all of these major site have become. I deleted my 11 year old Reddit account today and while it hurt a little it's important that we send a message and not use Reddit at least until they repeal this bullshit.
