Here's mine, for some more fun -

Sony Xperia X1 (the very first Xperia - it had a stylus, keyboard and ran Windows Phone 5.1 (the original pre-iPhone OS, not the later metro style OS)

HTC Desire (the og desire! and my first Android phone. I rooted this and flashed it on a weekly basis. Miss those days...)

Nexus 4

Moto E (I dropped my 4 and figured I'd try a super cheap phone, worked surprisingly well)

Sony Xperia X3 Compact

Nexus 5X

Pixel 3

Pixel 7

I miss small phones so much...

You're presumably talking about the Pixel Launcher widget, which isn't removable (you can disable it but you don't get the space back).

This article is about the widget that non-Pixel phones can install, which will behave more like a standard widget as it can work on any launcher or device.

It will take years before you see more niche communities like that.

Great news.

However, I've become partial to having separate accounts across various instances. Sync enforces having separate settings for each account. I can see this becoming pretty annoying. Does anyone else feel this way?

Are you allergic to punctuation?

Nothing beats Google Photos for me, personally.

So I bought a used Google Pixel 1 (first gen) and use Syncthing to sync my camera roll from my phone to the Pixel 1.

Google originally advertised the Pixel 1 as having unlimited cloud storage for life, so they have to stick to it. I don't pay for Google storage but I've got at least 500gb stored in Google Photos (including all my RAW photos and my digitised VHS tapes).

I'll abuse this system until the Pixel 1 dies and I can't get another one, then I'll cry.

The two-stage shutter button from Sony cameras and phones is something I miss dearly.

Anyone else noticed that Connect for Lemmy has just changed its design? Feels like it's taken a lot of "inspiration" from Sync...

I disagree. Have you ever been to a real 70mm IMAX screening? I don't mean your typical "IMAX". There's only a handful in the whole world.

The quality is gorgeous, and the screens are huge. You also get significantly more of the frame than you will in traditional cinema and on bluray releases.

Don't call it unnecessary until you've actually seen it. Digital IMAX isn't close yet.
