Is it just me or does KDE Connect only work about half the time? in c/kde@lemmy.kde.social

I'm having the same experience. Hasn't been reliable since a long time now. Used to work like a charm, really reliable. Nowadays not most of the time. Don't know what changed, there are too many variables.

Adaptive Charging with an alarm in c/googlepixel@lemmy.world

Thanks. I guess it hasn't been rolled out to me yet.

Yes, I'm currently using a silent alarm, if that's what you mean. I'm just so curious for new features, I guess.

Adaptive Charging with an alarm (feddit.de)
 

I'm on a Pixel 6 and trying to get adaptive charging without an alarm to work, but I don't know how it would work. I noticed that without setting an alarm and plugging in my phone, I don't get the notification about adaptive charging that I normally get.
Does that mean this feature is not ready for me yet (as in not rolled out or it can't detect my sleep pattern), or does this work without the notification?

Google is getting a lot worse because of the Reddit blackouts in c/technology@beehaw.org

Never heard about Kagi before, thanks for mentioning it! How is your experience with it? I tried DuckDuckGo for a while and wasn't to happy about it. Is it comparable?

The end of Reddit? Why the blackout is still going – and what happens next in c/technology@beehaw.org

Nothing will ever feel the same. It's an illusion to think that one platform will ever 'replace' another. In my 20+ years of being online (oh God), that has never happened. Platforms will eventually fade away or become unbearable, but the void will be filled by many other niche platforms. Google+ didn't succeed because it aimed to replace Facebook. Now it's WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, it's BeReal, it's Instagram, it's TikTok. My guess is that it will be Lemmy for the nerds, Reddit for what "they" think it's for (when I look at "new" Reddit — something like 9gag), and other platforms for what I can't think of yet. However, the Fediverse certainly reminds me of the internet as it was about 15 years ago when it focused on open protocols and similar aspects. XMPP comes to mind. I am filled with joy when experiencing the freedom and prospect of an Internet without dependency on but commercial companies again.
