@aeva

do you mean poached like eggs?

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@KevinMarks I don't have a micro USB to USB C cable

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@ipd time for dinner

[pupxel@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@aeva can you not plug the USB into both things?

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@pupxel I don't have any micro USB to USB-C cables

[pupxel@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@aeva the phone didn't came with a usb c to USB a adapter?!?

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@pupxel it came with a male-male USB-C to A cable

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@pupxel at any rate, the transfer process is already running, and I don't feel like stopping it

[pupxel@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@aeva F, I thought everyone did that cuz all my phones came with one lol

[kevinmarks@xoxo.zone]

@aeva don't they ship with a C to A adaptor any more? (I have so many USB variants in ziplocs, you're triggering my dad mode)

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@KevinMarks the phone came with a male-male C/A adapter, which is not useful for this specific task. perhaps they simply assume that "everyone" simply has a ziplock bag full of them by now

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

ok it's not terrible, but it's different and i don't like that it's different >:(

probably the biggest negative is the phone is larger and heavier than my old phone, and because of that my hand hurts after tinkering with it for a few hours

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

also I am extremely NOT A FAN of this ui designer trend of only allowing designer approved color swatches for color customization and/or algorithmic swatches. no precise control over how things look. sometimes I can get it close to how I want, but that only makes it worse because it is always off and it drives me crazy. just give me a fucking color picker or let me punch in hex codes.

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

also super weird that it has been continuously downloading and installing updates all night. is it working its way through every patch revision or something?

[rygorous@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@aeva *News announcer voice* it is projected that by 2035, mobile broadband will be required simply to keep up with the frequency and volume of software updates

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

ok whew, finally got all them updates installed 😤

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

had enough of google's bullhockey. trying out random osm map apps on fdroid

[klara@wandering.shop]

@aeva Let us know if you find a good one! I've never been able to make one stick for me, but perhaps that's just a sign of insufficient dedication.

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@klara "organic maps" seems nice so far. search is a little funky though

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@demofox tbh it feels about the same. discord runs less shit, but otherwise I can't really tell
