Disagree.
I don't want apps monitoring sensor and then start behaving unexpectedly.
I want apps to do only things I explicitly tell them to do. -
@M1sf3t "either"... there's the problem. Devs can't even agree on tabs vs spaces.. you really think shaking a device will have a standard behavior?
Next thing is devs putting ML on that shit to predict what the user wants based on the shaking pattern.
No thanks. -
Parzi88335y@MrCSharp if the app doesn't send a dp to the devs because i did a jerk-off motion with my phone it's not worth installing xD
-
@M1sf3t I'm imagining lots of broken phones because of such feature.
You're right. Sometimes these kinds of input data can work great depending on the context you're in on the UI.
I still prefer a small and reliable undo button for example over shaking my device. Specially true for 6" phones.. -
@M1sf3t oh mate, shit happens.
I threw my phone across the room once while half asleep and turning in bed..
I had for 2 weeks at that point 🤣 -
@Parzi or maybe we don't like dropping $200+ on screens every time we break one 😊
-
Parzi88335y@MrCSharp am i the only person who gets smaller devices? I could spike this fucker into the ground and it'd just bounce, and yall out here breakin shit from a 2-foot drop?

Parzi88335y@M1sf3t i had a Galaxy S2 Skyrocket that fell out of my pocket and dropped between the bars of the railing on some stairs and fell straight down almost an entire flight. It's still in a drawer somewhere, rooted and working (when the charger port wants to cooperate)
no case either
try that shit with an iPhone 11 -
@Parzi I like small phones but I do alot of reading everyday and find bigger phones more comfortable for that.
