As an EXR elitist I deeply resent Google's blatant sabotage of JXL.
(And also laugh at the PNG elitists, as is custom.)

Pretty much just Zenless Zone Zero and Hades II for the past month or so.
And a bit of Terraria with the boys.
Yeah, as pinned tabbed. Very much so. I actually like them specifically because I can forget about them. I use them like someone would use a napkin in that classic Hollywood trope sense! Just to work something out and then forgetting about it, except, if needed, I can open up the tab again and copy over stuff to my actual notes later!
I use it almost daily when in bed and thinking of some project or the other—I like to think in text—but don't want to bring up my notetaker and getting even more distracted.
And I often get friends and family open one up while troubleshooting their problems. What else would I use, Notepad?
Ultimately, why not? Why do people make little standalone tools like this? For fun, probably. Or because they can. As a learning exercise? And when it has no cost to the developer to maintain, or the user to use. Why would I even try to second-guess their motivation?
I don't believe for a second he could name more than five.
If capitalism insists on those higher up getting exorbitantly more money than those doing the work, then we have to hold them to the other thing they claim they believe in: that those higher up also deserve all the blame.
It's a novel concept, I know. Leave the Nobels by the doormat, please.
Ah, bummer. Thanks for looking it up though!
But, I now have Breezy Weather setup and working! I can now know how much it won't rain during the rainy season where every other part of the state is flooded with the flick of a wrist 🥲
I'll try it out immediately (he said, after claiming weather is unimportant 😅)!
Do you also happen to know any way to get navigation instructions to show up on the watch? ...Asking for a friend, ofc!
Also can't push navigation to the watch, but tracking a route for a walk whole you have the phone with you works just fine. (Neither feature I need)
I use the AmazFit Band 7, the last sensibly sized watch that exists it often feels like.
Weather fails to sync, but then it's probably the least important feature on a watch. The only feature I really wish Gadgetbridge could do that even the official stack can't is "nap mode"
As a narcoleptic person still recovering from major depression, I wish I could either press a button to silence the watch and set a "smart alarm" for 30 minutes. Even better if it would turn on automatically if it detects me sleeping during the day!
The only other thing GB can't do is stand in for the phone-side ZeppOS API functionality, but who needs that, let's be honest!
Fantastic battery life to boot. I have gone two weeks after forgetting to charge it while wearing it almost 24×7!
The city (and district) I live in still has its name spelled incredibly wrong, and has had so for the past decade.
You cannot select a municipality name. They're not buildings or roads marked by mere mortals. And what you can't select you can't correct. It is just believed that they are always correct. Immaculate. Immutable.
Every attempt to fix it has failed, from contacting support (as a "premium Google One customer") or looking for senior Google Maps contributors (all of whom lost all their contacts with "higher up" Googlers when the old map transitioned into new, or just vanished once the forums closed).
In a country where last mile location is often ambiguous, that Google manages to fail at it on a scale large enough to be visible from space says volumes about how worthless their services are.
P.S: Yes, of course it's correctly marked on OSM. And a lot more.
I'm told ADHD also comes with magic powers. But so far, I've not awakened to my birthright.
Moonlit skies are never clear enough these nights, you know.
