So the premise of this manga is that a mermaid would be even cuter if she is constantly wearing inappropriate human clothes because she just transformed back from a temporary human form in which she was made to wear impractical Victorian clothing. In short, this manga is genius

mcc (mcc@mastodon.social)'s status on Friday, 30-Aug-2024 14:05:24 JST mcc Me: *Sees Jump/Viz has like five mangas about mermaids*
Me: Yeah, I dunno. Am I really so shallow I'll enjoy a comic simply because it has a mermaid in it?
*Three chapters later*
Me: YES

Like I know Android Studio is secretly IDEA but that doesn't mean I know what the .idea directory does. Should I check it in to git. The .gitignore contains many of .idea's subdirectories but not .idea itself

- Can't reboot the tablet because in new Android, Google has hijacked the "turn off" button to launch the Assistant instead.
- Can't turn off the Assistant because it won't let you turn off the Assistant unless you first sign into Google.

mcc (mcc@mastodon.social)'s status on Monday, 26-Aug-2024 02:53:09 JST mcc Well, so far it's actually pretty good, except for the part when I tried logging in to my Google account and it crashed and left the device in a seemingly permanent inoperable state

mcc (mcc@mastodon.social)'s status on Monday, 26-Aug-2024 02:53:08 JST mcc What is this called, and how do I disable it? It is not "Discover". I already disabled that.
Willing to resort to ADB but only if necessary.

mcc (mcc@mastodon.social)'s status on Monday, 26-Aug-2024 02:53:08 JST mcc After rebooting, I have now successfully logged into Google. Now I want to turn off the Assistant.
I go into the Google app.
I tap the profile icon.
I tap "settings".
Nothing happens.I tap the profile app again.
I tap the "settings" app again.
Nothing happens.Often, when using Android products, I find myself wondering whether Google is aware that Android exists, or the device vendor aware that they are selling an Android device

mcc (mcc@mastodon.social)'s status on Monday, 26-Aug-2024 02:53:07 JST mcc Also, what application do you, reading this, recommend for reading comics on an Android tablet, if those comics are "free floating" (PDFs from itch or something) and not part of a service? I am willing to listen to suggestions for other software to install on my PC local servers etc if it would support this (for example for loading the comics on) as long as it doesn't require an Apple product. This is an explicit invitation to be a reply person?

mcc (mcc@mastodon.social)'s status on Monday, 26-Aug-2024 02:53:06 JST mcc The mystery tab is the "Entertainment Space". I can disable it by long pressing the home screen and going into home screen settings.

mcc (mcc@mastodon.social)'s status on Monday, 26-Aug-2024 02:53:05 JST mcc Here's my current bit of hell. The button bar has been changed into a "taskbar". The critical android navigation buttons get shunted to the side. (Which side is not consistent; it flips left and right at seeming random.) The additional space is taken up by little app icons, like the iOS dock.
What makes this unacceptable is *the side shunted navigation buttons vary*. On the home screen, they're centered like normal.
**The navigation buttons simulate physical buttons. They should NEVER move.**

mcc (mcc@mastodon.social)'s status on Monday, 26-Aug-2024 02:53:05 JST mcc Android 14 on this device is really, really, *really* janky. Like "this is a beta OS" levels of jank. I have found three different ways to get apps to go into GUI death, go in weird states where there are like gray lines that swiping causes the gray lines to move up or down, blank white boxes where interface elements otherwise would be

mcc (mcc@mastodon.social)'s status on Monday, 26-Aug-2024 02:53:04 JST mcc In my entirely sincere, non-joking opinion, any GUI that I have to look at in order to use is a bad GUI.
I should be able to use any computer program by just clicking and tapping on things, without having to look to see whether the things are there or not.

mcc (mcc@mastodon.social)'s status on Monday, 26-Aug-2024 02:53:04 JST mcc So I have a non-optional bar at the bottom of the screen. What is the purpose of the bar? To contain a noninteractive gray square. Why is the noninteractive gray square there? Because otherwise the bar at the bottom of the screen would be empty. This is Android's Emotional Support Square.
Meanwhile, the Android nav buttons, to accommodate this, move randomly between left, right & center. I cannot use the Android nav buttons, *critical for basic use of the device*, without looking at the screen.

mcc (mcc@mastodon.social)'s status on Monday, 26-Aug-2024 02:53:04 JST mcc Sources on Internet claim under Settings->Display there's a setting to turn off "Taskbar". It's not present on my system. So I think: Maybe I can just remove all the items from the bar. I find settings for "show recent apps in taskbar" and "recommended apps in taskbar". I disable them. That leaves only the "quick launch" bar from the home screen. I try removing all the icons from that.
*The quick launch bar, and the "taskbar", grow a noninteractive gray square in the space where apps would go*

mcc (mcc@mastodon.social)'s status on Monday, 26-Aug-2024 02:53:03 JST mcc Why is this here??? No, I know why this is here. It's here because the iPhone has it. The iPhone put at the bar at the bottom of the screen, and the execs at Google who decide what goes in Android don't *use* Android, they have iPhones, so the only direction anyone on Android gets is "make it look like my iPhone". And once it looks like their iPhones, they have no further extra concerns, such as "is it pleasant to use?" "Do the users mind a permanent, pointless gray mark defacing their screen?"

mcc (mcc@mastodon.social)'s status on Monday, 26-Aug-2024 02:53:03 JST mcc So here's where it gets bugfuck. Unable to use the nav bar because Google has decided it must randomly move around as a minigame, I sadly enable gestures.
A gray bar appears at the bottom of my screen.
To show me where to do the gestures.
I only??? Enabled??? Gestures???? In the first place?????? To make a gray bar at the bottom of the screen go away???????????

mcc (mcc@mastodon.social)'s status on Monday, 26-Aug-2024 02:53:02 JST mcc How much of a problem this is depends on what app I'm in. Kindle (left), blessedly, puts black bars at the top and bottom and disables the clock bar and anti-navigation bar at the bottom, so I get what I want: a rectangle.. But say, Shonen Jump (right) doesn't, so I get a jangle of bars of various sizes and colors, and the screenshot doesn't capture this but the top bar has a clock, battery, wifi strength, and for no reason whatsoever, three dots and a triangle (these do nothing)
