Edit: fixed :)

Hi! Incredibly small note - it looks like the community name has a trailing space (it seems like it's "Android ", with a space after the d), so it looks a bit goofy on non-lemmy.world instances with a space before the @:

This isn't exactly what you're going for since it isn't automatic, but Apple is introducing NameDrop in iOS 17 which will allow you to share contact info by holding iPhones next to each other (similar to Bump back in the early 2010s). Of course NameDrop is closed to Apple devices which sucks (Android has Nearby Share, but it doesn't default to sharing your contact), but the idea of being able to hold phones to each other to share contact info would be ideal for me - it'd be quick so I wouldn't have to think about it and would be willing to do it for brief interactions, but also ensures my info is only shared with who I choose.

Google recently announced they're backing the new RFC 9420 standard - no clue what that means for the future of RCS or if this standard will go anywhere but optimistically this can be the one everyone gets behind and is open to everyone? 🤷

Eh, maybe take this with a grain of salt - I cross posted this from [email protected], but taking a closer look at the article their source is this tweet (nitter link), and the account directly says in the account bio "Not a Google Account, not affiliated with Google". So just be warned this is not an official announcement from the Pixel team like the article claims.

For my 6a, when it gives me trouble I've run my finger against the outside of my nose and tried again - that's consistently worked for me.

  • pdfcrop (commonly included with LaTeX) for cropping margins - it cuts the pdf down to its contents then adds a margin of your choosing, extremely useful for forcing academic papers to have consistent margins, pdfcrop --margins 72 *pdf here* will create a document with a ~1in margin all around (it uses bp as its units)
  • vips for resizing/converting images - it's a bit faster and lighter than imagemagick in my experience, although the main reason I use it instead of imagemagick is just because I like playing around with stuff I haven't used before :) It has an officially supported python binding too

I'm a software nerd, my biggest priority is keeping Android up-to-date on security and features, so it really seems like Samsung would be the best fallback option with a proven track record of getting security updates out as quick (or quicker) than Google and typically promising 4 years of OS upgrades/5 years of security patches (here's an article with many phone manufacturers policies). I'd really miss the stock Android experience and unlockable bootloader though!
