Google Photos is getting a new row of shortcuts on iOS.

Google is rolling out a set of shortcuts to the top of the Photos tab that take you to Favorites, Recently Added, Trash, and a recent album, according to 9to5Google.

The outlet reports spotting the change in version 7.11 of the app on iOS, though I don’t see it there quite yet. The change hasn’t made it to the Android version.



My #JollaC2 Community Edition phone is finally fully working and I'm spending a bit of time getting to know it.

I like the physical feel, although some aspects will take a little getting used to (big screen, rounded corners, notch). I do appreciate the subtle touches like "Privacy from Finland" printed on the camera bump. Captures the spirit of #SailfishOS.

Can't deny I'm thrilled to see #Gecko ESR91 running on it.

Now to spend some time getting the software set up just right!

Enjoy. Even with some quirks, I do love my C2 and it's a nice upgrade over Xperia 10.


Finally finished setting up the YT channel a couple of days ago and uploaded one of the previous VOD's on the #Emacs 31 News (includes snippets for #golang and #python)

You might've heard about Roskomnadzor demanding Delta Chat to comply with their nonsensical surveillance requirements.

Now they want the same from @element:

You probably think this is absurd, how can anyone require a Matrix client to spy on their users? You are right, but Russian laws are absurd and independent courts do not exist here :blobcatshrug:

Nope. Guess that went down like a cup of cold sick ; )




I'll give Matrix another shot when I can search up the #matrix hashtag and fewer than 2 of the initial results are talking about how broken it is

as of right now, about 20% of the messages seem to be talking about how broken it is, looks like the devs have a lot more lipstick yet to smear on that pig

This is an unreliable metric. People are *much* more likely to post when we're irritated by a problem. When tech is working as expected, it becomes invisible and no one posts about it.

How many people have ever posted a comment like 'I use Technology Y and it's doing exactly what I expect, all the time'?
