  • I’ve been an AT&T customer for years, mostly out of necessity. They just offer the best all around service for my needs.I tried switching to T-Mo, but they have a lot of dead spots (especially along interstates) and has weaker signal strength in most buildings than AT&T. And I just refuse to use Verizon, but they’re in a similar situation.




  • I’m the same way regarding quirks. I’ve been using Gboard and for a while bounced between that and Samsung Keyboard. Gboard has the best overall usability for me but a couple things I’m not a fan of: Gboard deleting clipboard history (only from Gboard as it’s still available elsewhere), and including \ as a long press symbol rather than /,where you have to tsp the symbols key and then tap /.

    Samsung Keyboard has a few quirks as well, but the biggest was predictive text isn’t as good as Gboard. But I like the customization of it. But I can’t see the symbols on the keys as well as I can on Gboard.

    I was a fan of Chroma Keyboard years ago because I liked that it would change color based on the app.




  • I’ve been using Brave for a few years now on my desktop and after reading the threads lately about it, I’d like to switch. I don’t seem to have the issues other users have, but I don’t want to use it based on the CEO’s views on some things.

    I’ve always had Firefox installed with uBlock Origin and I use it occasionally. One of the things Chromium based browsers have is built-in tab grouping. I know there are extensions and I’ve only tried Simple Tab Groups but it didn’t behave how I was expecting it to behave, which is like how Chromium handles it.

    So far that’s the only thing I’ve noticed.






  • After everything went down and Sync stopped, my usage dropped considerably. I was still using Joey and Infinity for light browsing, but I haven’t really browsed Reddit in about a week and have been on Lemmy and Kbin exclusively. I feel more engaged here too.

    Browsing Reddit just seemed different, like the quality of posts and comments dropped considerably.


  • Samsung S23 Ultra. Been using Samsung phones the past few years, since the S10 Ultra, and I’ve enjoyed using them. One UI isn’t the bloated garbage it used to be, and Samsung has added some nice tweaks and features. Also, the Good Lock tweaks are fantastic and I’m surprised some just aren’t baked into One UI. Battery life has been stellar too.

    The weight is probably the thing I don’t like most. Makes a difficult to use one-handed sometimes.
