I read this with Morgan Freeman voice and thoroughly enjoyed it.

FirstLastBirthyear and pw was ssn because I was trying to memorize it. Idiot.

Vivaldi: the one setting I changed was to block both Trackers and Ads. I do have the YouTube app installed. My Vivaldi bookmark for YouTube is for https://m.youtube.com/ other than that I’m clueless on why Vivaldi launches the YouTube app when you try to go to YouTube.

The Shortcut folder is a great idea. I’ve currently got a Shortcut folder as a widget stack on my Home Screen.

I just found out Brave is a crappy company and has done shitty things. Been using Vivaldi and in place of it.

As someone who moved from Android to iOS this year, I miss the reachability of being able to swipe back from either side of the screen. Like many of the other Lemmy apps, Voyager lets you customize gestures for Posts and Comments. I disabled swipe-right because that’s iOS’s Back gesture, but I still need to start from the very far left edge of the screen in Voyager. Some other apps, after having disabled those swipe-right gestures, allow me to swipe back without having to reach the far left edge. It’s way more comfortable for me as a right handed user.

I switched earlier this year.

Shortcuts app:

• Shortcuts has Tasker vibes. You can do a lot with it, especially automation.
• Lmk if you’re a Google Home user. You can setup Shortcuts so that Siri passes on commands to Google Assistant.
• You can even customize the Action button to run a Shortcut. I’ve got mine to check if it’s connected to my home WiFi, then toggle bedroom lights; if connected to work WiFi, then… etc.
• Take advantage of Focus modes (Work, Sleep, etc.) because Shortcuts can use that as a condition.

Apple TV: Ted Lasso is worth watching.

3rd party apps worth mentioning:

• QuickScan. Completely free, with optional donations. Create multipage OCR’d PDFs with your camera.
• Brave Vivaldi browser mainly for ad-free YouTube.
• Paperback if you read manga, manhwa, etc.

Lemmy apps: Voyager is the most frequently updated and smoothest, but it lacks some QoL features that I enjoy in other apps, such as Thunder. Give all of them a try.

Sleep alarm with gradually increasing volume: you need to use the 1st party Health app to set up your nightly alarm.

Additional settings:

• Back Tap. You can customize double tap and triple tap with a limited set of actions.
• Reachability. Top of the screen temporarily shifts down.
• Haptic Touch. Set to Fast so that long presses don’t take so long to activate.

I remember my first time seeing someone use a Jabra bluetooth ear piece. 2003 in a college dorm, a girl was walking back and forth but her phone was probably in her hoodie. I was bewildered, wondering why she was talking aloud to herself.

It’s been a while for me but I’m guessing that’s the banking character for 七

I updated because of the supposed fix for the keyboard lag.

Incomplete sentences make it difficult, such as the OP.

Your example is great:

• Me jumped in the pool.
• I jumped in the pool.

The second sentence is correct, so you would go with, “My twin and I jumped in the pool.”

Similar example:

• The rain got me and my twin soaking wet.
• The rain got my twin and I soaking wet.

Simplify them:

• The rain got me soaking wet.
• The rain got I soaking wet.

The first sentence is correct, so go with, “The rain got me and my twin soaking wet.”

BOOP

I started with Motorola Atrix, then Motorola Moto X, Samsung S8, S10, Note 10+, and earlier this year got a used iPhone 13 Mini to give it a fair try.

iOS takes more steps to do things that Android can do. It was disappointing coming from the multitasking beast that the Note series is. I miss being able to do scrolling screenshots system-wide, no matter what app. iOS limits it to a few core apps and makes it a PDF… I miss being able to swipe back from either side of the screen. I miss split screen. I miss Samsung’s sandboxed Secure Folder and vastly superior One Handed Mode. I miss a better keyboard experience.

But those are things I gave up for the convenience of a local Apple Store, faster security updates, and being able to troubleshoot iOS better for my partner who’s always used iPhones.

I went almost all in with the 15 Pro; still using my Galaxy buds because they’re comfy. Continuity is nice, already having a MBP and iPad. And I’m having fun messing around with Shortcuts and reading people’s ideas for the action button. It’s not as powerful as Tasker, but that’s only because Apple limits what we can do. Scrolling with 120 Hz is nicer than 60 Hz, comparing the 13 Mini and 15 Pro side by side.
