After dealing w/ many Chinese suppliers in various industries I believe the blame falls on the OEM. If you ask for cheap garbage then you’ll get that. If you ask for tightly specified designs that are properly designed for the process at a reasonable price then you’ll get that.

A custom ROM? No. An unlocked bootloader, standard ROM, & custom kernel? Yes.

If the argument is that swiping down twice is more difficult than swiping up once, then I agree. If the argument is that swiping up once should be reserved for system toggles, then I disagree. I believe it’s a question of properties, not capability, when it comes to Android’s decision.

But, like, you can do something similar by pulling down twice. That screen can be configured to show almost any toggle. Different actions, similar results. Is it the actions you don’t like?

I tend to agree w/ this sentiment, but hope that the 2 options, official forum & fediverse discussion, can somehow provide unique value. I’m currently running jellyfin on a DS920+ & about to move it over to a 12th gen Intel-based Lenovo M90Q for performance reasons. The idea is to keep all media downloading/converting/retaining on the NAS & the serving on the M90Q that can access the NAS. Here’s to hoping I’m moving in the right direction rather than just trying dumb stuff.

You can’t always wait for something to be great to join. Most FOSS products would die w/ that mentality. The larger the userbase, the more motivation to develop. Join, comment, engage, & help to build the best product. Or don’t, up to you, but the community would love if you did.

The rhetorical question of the century.
