What in the hell is happenin’ over in the Olive garden app!?
Absolute class meme
can someone explain this to me who’s familiar with neither
We’re just family.
Soup and salad and unlimited breadsticks.
If you leave, you have to pay when you come back.
Bro, are you not playing the hidden game on there “BRDstix”? It’s awesome.
that seems like a lot of battery for just a keyboard
It runs a local LLM for auto correct and voice to text.
that seems like overkill
No, that’s a feature. Google voice to text will send everything to google servers.
Yeah, it’s the one real negative I have with it and something a lot of reviews for it mention.
Data harvesting?
Futo is Foss and offline. I switched to it recently from Swiftkey. Before that, apps would always restart if I switched windows or tabbed back to home screen and I assumed it was just my phone being lame. But since switching, that happens a lot less. So I can only assume futo is using less resources.
They aren’t true foss, but ‘source available’. I don’t remember why exactly (probably for licensing or something) and the typical user won’t know what that means nor care, but it is something to be aware of.
I like and use Grayjay, but the keyboard was not up to my standards, personally. Can’t find any foss/adjacent keyboards to come close to SwiftKey at all. I’ve been using it since release like 16+ years ago (?) or something, and every time I try something else, it’s just bad for a bunch of reasons.
What is connect? A Lemmy client?
Pretty good client. I use it because it reminds me of RiF when I left reddit.
I tried it right when i made the switch (when reddit pulled the plug on third party) and didnt care for it. Idk if I just didnt know lemmy and that confounded my problems… has it changed? Or maybe I’ve learned enough i should give it a go ago.
It has improved over the years from when I first installed it. I just really appreciate the AMOLED theme and simple UI. I never found a reason to find a replacement.
Yes.
That I align with 3 out of 4 of those is a bit concerning.
Olive Garden might just be as bad as Uber, where loading it for a short time drains an inordinate amount of battery.
If you close the app, they stop delivering the unlimited breadsticks until you make another order.
Conspiracy time: Olive Garden buys the breadsticks with cryptocurrency mined from your phone.
Conspiracy or brilliant business acumen?
WTF are you doing with Olive Garden, Dan?
coffee and breadsticks on my day off shuddup
Uh oh…
There are only 3 possibilities
- Voyager is a battery hog
- You don’t use your phone much
- You, together with your army of alts is single-handedly responsible for half of lemmy content
Voyager is a website in a wrapper. I dunno how it’s suppose to run the battery anymore than Safari does.
Its because it gets reported as the app using the screen and other subsystems during time its in-focus. So really it’s mostly your screen/wifi/etc using power, not the website as such - but the phone categorizes relevant power draw to the active foreground app that’s preventing the phone from sleeping.
Will I fall into this obvious trap for discussing the grotesque volume of time spent on the Olive Garden app? No. No i will not. … fuck.
(Cries in Big Mac sauce.)
It must be bugged and busy-looping in the background.
Nah, guy just LOVES Olive Garden.
In my defense, this is after work.
Metrolist, my man 🫡
What is metrolist?
It lists all the types of metros, obviously.
U guys get many metros? I don’t even have 1 metro
We’ve got government subsidised metros here.
Yeah, come on, don’t leave us hangin’!! I too would like to learn of this metrolist!
It’s a list of totally metrosexual stuff:
Its only for gay people. Metrosexuals like myself. LOL.
Wow, Termux is at the top for me, at 86%. I know my phone often gets notably warm while building packages in Termux, but that is surprising.
No idea what “Olive Garden” is - is it used all day, or is it just a shitty programmed app that it eats up the battery?
Olive Garden is a restaurant chain. It would be like spending all day on the Arby’s or McDonald’s app with an added layer of Olive Garden being a bit obscure.
iPhone creates a Screen Time report if you want to see actual usage and not just battery usage.
Samsung does too, don’t know if this is android native or not
Ah a fellow Proton user! Where I stopped scrolling made me think I had an email 😂
Found the Dutchie!
I turned off screen time on my iPhone because it’s hopelessly broken. It kept reporting that I was using my phone 20+hours a day with multiple apps given seven time being waaaay higher than reality. Lots of posts to be found on this bug.
Same on my Android
My phone is a YouTube player apparently. Teams and Outlook for work.
Oops… (Been sitting in meetings a lot today)
If you run an android device, or any other computer that doesn’t allow the user to do basic things like close apps. You should make use of the battery optimization settings.
On android every app that you don’t want real time updates from should be set to restricted battery mode, and background data to off.
The only time you need background data is for real time updates or background play in apps like YouTube or Spotify.
This feature will almost certainly get removed in the future if history is any indication, so enjoy having decent battery life and better networking performance while it lasts.
The only time you need background data is for real time updates
And makes total sense here. I need to know the second that never ending pasta bowl starts.
It’s good for some things, messaging, banking, background play, etc. just the less you have the less apps will destroy your battery and your network connection.
Lol. Sync is abandoned for Lemmy. I would recommend trying something else soon. My vote is Voyager, as someone who left Sync.
I like thunder personally but it has been a little buggy for me lately.
Yep I switched from Sync to Voyager because of this
Oh really! That sucks. Is there a blog post or something somewhere?
A lot of us paid for the premium membership when the Sync dev made the app to support him. He promptly stopped updating it and we all kept waiting thinking he was going to do the same thing he had done on Reddit, popping in once in awhile to update with minimal communication. Nope. No updates or communications for about 18 months.
Yo. Why is system UI so high?
Maybe uninstall System UI. will improve battery life
WTH is that even is
How do you find Fennec?
Through fdroid
Ba dum tisss. I mean, do you like it? How is it compared to FF?
Seems exactly the same. No issues whatsoever
I no longer have Twatter on my phone, best decision I made in years.
Deadnaming? Have some respect! It’s called xhitter now…
Speaking of, I just finished my coffee and have to go send some xhits
