Procreate is really good. That is the one app I've been satisfied with.

I would actually if it weren't for updates, but what I do on the tablet is so undemanding compared to phones that I made the concession for long term updates. Since the iPad for me is just a glorified comic reader most of the time. Didn't end up being the productivity laptop replacement I thought it would be other than writing on PDFs and drawing

I miss Tachiyomi and would actually get much more out of it than paperback. And vlc on ipad has struggled with playing some encoded x265 files compared to Android, and video options that are Foss so don't have ads or IAP are so lacking that that expensive paid options like Infuse is pushed.

And the file system is too restrictive. The nice specs seem to be held back so much by the OS. It is more filling the role a Kindle does for ebooks but for comics instead when it comes to the iPad for me. I wish it ran MacOS when you hooked it up to an external monitor or connected a keyboard to it. Although being able to use it as an external monitor with MacOS is really cool.

But, I am thinking of getting a Android tablet next time if there is one that has good custom rom community or at least official lineage OS support, since I would prefer the Android app alternatives for stuff like comics and video players and also being able to easily use emulators and play like DS games with the stylus would be fun.

Yeah, once the fediverse has had more opportunity to settle in and features like redirecting become available it would be cool to see communities move towards whatever instance is the best fit for the topic it fall into.

Like an instance that becomes a well known music instance, so becomes the automatic recommend for anyone looking to find a community for a specific genre or group. And a television instance that becomes the go to for any specific tv show based communities. A hobby instance where you can find like knitting or woodcarving.

Would be so much easier to find communities through topic based instances than the current random sprawl of communities.

If you haven't already I recommend one hand gesture plus. It's replaced gestures for me, and something I wish was standard, since I can perform various navigations actions and shortcuts without having to reach down. Very helpful on large phones when one handing it.

I posted on the firefox community too hoping someone has a solution whether it is about:config or an addon to change the behavior, since the active interaction requirement doesn't apply to the address bar. So at least changing the behavior of Firefox would be huge, since returning to the browser is such a huge part of my multitasking.

Yeah, I've used MacOS before but now getting one I intend to use personally after having last used a mac laptop years back it's been a lot of apps I've had to retrieve from outside the official app store compared to Linux. I've been pretty happy with the default Linux and Windows desktop behavior out the box, but with MacOS have had to look for bunch of apps to modify the desktop experience.

At least there's apps and programs for most of the simplification or functions I've been looking for. Was the reason for my title of Linux and Windows users, since they might be the ones more likely to go against the grain.

Still Apple is absolutely unrivaled when it comes to the price category the macmini falls into. Not going to get better hardware than what the macmini line goes for and overall very pretty UI and a sleep function that actually works.

And yeah the profile Pic you mentioned seems like an issue that would eventually have popped up haha. I've been putting photos I want synced to icloud separate from those I want to actually save, since got annoying deleting photos I just needed temporarily from iCloud after the storage started filling up from the iPad uploading everything with no exclusion seeming to be built in.

Hidden bar looks awesome to clean up the menu bar.

Still seemed odd to me why a preview doesn't have such a basic continuous function, since other native options for other OSS aren't full blown editors either. I think this picture function has been around in other OS for over a decade now?

Especially with more people who use phones or tablets than desktop OS it seems like coming into MacOS and opening a file to look at a larger preview and being able to continuously look with no additional steps would be the behavior they'd expect.

This is the one thing that has confused me more than the default windows snap behavior or the scaling options for external monitors, since it is so basic I never expected to not be a thing in any OS released these days.

I'll have to play around with this for Linux.

[–] ImaginaryFox@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Lot of nice recommendations here. Particularly suspicious package.

[–] ImaginaryFox@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

I'll keep keka in mind for rar files.

Yeah, it seems like it has less development that even the photo viewing behavior in iOS. Like you can just navigate through the files app and open a Pic and just keep swiping right instead of running into this random limitation.
