Wow, that's perfect. I'm actually really used to Niagara Launcher right now but I might consider Pixel Launcher. It's just sooo smooth on a Pixel, no other launcher quite gets there, even Niagara.

I think OP is worried about keeping their charged phone on the charger just for this feature. I also heard that keeping devices with batteries connected to a charger for a long time is not good because it generates a lot of small charging cycles pushing the battery to 100% repeatedly. I'm actually curious whether that's true for the modern smartphones or not.

FWIW my Pixel has an "adaptive charging" feature that slowly charges the phone to 90% overnight and then tops it to 100% just before an alarm. It seems to be aimed at reducing this exact effect so I wouldn't be surprised if there is something to it.

I was sure I'm getting baited when I clicked the link but it's one of the rare cases when it actually turned out not to be a clickbait.

This feature literally found and isolated "important files" and now they are deleting those files. Just because it was never available in the US doesn't mean it's irrelevant.

Yeah, so basically Google invented a feature that finds your important files and deletes them. The future is here!

Of course I'm exaggerating for humoristic effect but in all seriousness I think the whole action is extremely poorly executed. I would be surprised if there weren't some cases of people actually losing something important because of this.

Thanks!

To be honest I really like the aesthetics of keycaps without labels and I will probably change to those eventually. However, I wanted to play it safe for now considering the fact that it's my first time with a keyboard like this.

It will definitely be 99% stationary but I think I will need to figure out a way to safely travel with it a few times a year since typing on a laptop keyboard feels like a torture now...

Wait, so Google just moved around important users' files on their devices without being asked to do so. And now they decided to just delete those files together with the feature? This sounds pretty crazy, even for Google.

Recently I like to play some Twitch streams in the background when I'm not doing anything requiring a lot of focus. It makes me feel like I'm not really alone at home without any social effort on my side. You definitely have to find a right streamer for you though - most of Twitch is garbage in my opinion.

Someone mentioned going out to eat or sit at some cafe which I also like to do sometimes.

Does it have to be real to be funny?

Yup, I actually think it would be doable to make them look healthier just with the design but this guy failed.

We need to remember that there are people making unimaginable amounts of money every time we believe some AI is good enough to replace half of the human workforce.

This is truly great news! I recently migrated my email and calendar from Google to Proton but decided that Drive is useless for me without photo backup on mobile. Linux client with sync is also extremely important but AFAIK Proton Drive is supported by Celeste so this might be a viable workaround (though I didn't test it yet).

I also want to point out that during the short period of time when I'm using Proton Mail and Calendar, they already received a few new features. If they can keep up with this pace of development then I'm honestly fine with paying for incomplete services just to support them.

I really hope Proton will become a one stop shop for secure online services. Fingers crossed!

Good job Cosmic team!

I really hope Cosmic can be the first DE to close the gap between tilling window managers and DEs we have today. Very excited for it!
