I am now quite bored
This code review is too long
I hate Angular.

I see you neglected to mention the "Contains Ads" warning on the store page, too. I can't wait to see how those ads manifest themselves.
That's because I haven't noticed any ads over the two minutes I've used it.

@gąska said in The Official Status Thread:
HOW ABOUT YOU CHECK IT YOURSELF YOU LAZY FUCK!!!
But yes.Maybe because I don't want to have fucking ads all over my phone for it to do some BASIC SHIT that every fucking other phone OS (and every desktop OS since the fucking 90s) has fucking DONE BY DEFAULT.
I mean thanks for finding the fucking app, but if this is the BEST THERE IS, you have to admit it's not much of a response to "wow Android sucks shit". Because this solution, even if it works (and the reviews are full of people saying it's broken), sucks shit.

Well since Google apps show ads when they say they don't in the app store, maybe this app says it shows ads in the store but then actually doesn't. It's like wacky reverso-land every day when you're using an Android phone!

Only if you read app descriptions. It's like shopping based on manufacturers' promotional materials.

It's the best I could find in 10 minutes. My goal wasn't to help you. My goal was to prove you wrong and show that you probably haven't even tried.
-
@stillwater The answer is yes. But more accurately, we're trying to upgrade from Angular 4~ to 6.

But what bugged me more is everybody in the film just takes it at face-value and nobody asks, "after midnight, but before... when?" because isn't that the critical question.
Someone asks that in the second movie, along with some other questions about the rules.
He immediately gets murdered by a Gremlin.

Which part of it? ALL OF IT!!
My head hurts just thinking about it. I landed myself a pretty contract gig with nice pay but noped the fuck out when it was Angular on a deadline. Fuck that shit. Not worth dealing with the overengineering.
-
@gąska I spent hours on this, like I said. I wager I tried this app and it didn't work, as the reviews confirm. But I'm trying it again now because I'm a stupid idiot:
WHAT THE HOLY FUCK DOES DO NOT DISTURB HAVE TO DO WITH READING NOTIFICATIONS?! EXPLAIN.
Did the Google engineer who had to type this copy not pause at that and say, "uh... hang on guys, let's back up and figure this the fuck out, because this makes no sense." Goddamned this OS is garbage.
Anyway now it's all installed, let's take a look:
"Hey guys should we make sure literally the only UI our application has doesn't get text cut-off?"
"No, we're Android developers! EVERYTHING'S SHITTY AND BROKEN HERE! In fact let's make it get cut-off MORE!"

@blakeyrat said in The Official Status Thread:
I might end up missing an important "your email app is insecure and needs to be upgraded post-haste or you'll be pwned in minutes" notification. So of course I leave them all on because I can't take the risk.
How often do you legitimately get legitimate messages like that?

All the reviews say it doesn't work. Plus even when it does work, it only works with a specific "launcher" app I guess? Why is that even a thing in the Android world?
-
@tsaukpaetra said in The Official Status Thread:

Not often; which is good. But if I blocked notifications, then did get one, I'd be just as pwned.
Yeah, I know, Blakeyrat's making the complaint, therefore he's dumb stupid wrong moron idiot dumb retard dumb there's no way Google would ever have a security flaw ever you can just trust Google with your life man Blakeyrat's dumb stupid dumb idiot.

@gąska You should see the one with my full name, it's even more broken. The letters are still cut-off but it only draws the first 4 of them, when my name is 11 characters long.
Does the permissions system conflate "can access notifications" with "can turn on Do Not Disturb" mode on your machine, too? Or is that just a special gem unique to my phone specifically?

You did, it was called Outlook Express. Perhaps you didn't use it, or didn't use the system tray badge, but it was there.
Oh and in this whole discussion I completely forgot the OTHER thing that makes my Android phone useless garbage: even once you get the badges working (for some value of working), there's no way to get the email app to sort unread messages first. Even though every other phone OS in the world does that by default. So you can't just click the icon and SEE the 3 unread messages.

Why do I need to know the difference between an icon and a tray badge?!?!?! Literally unusable

By default? You keep using that phrase. I don't think that means what you think it means. I've literally never seen this behavior "by default". It would be massively confusing and inconvenient if my email decided to hide my read-emails far down the list under my 624 un-red-emails.
-
@tsaukpaetra said in The Official Status Thread:
By default?
Yeah. Even the Gmail WEB client does this. Although maybe I checked a "show unread first" box years ago and just don't remember it.

Why do you have 624 unread emails?
In any case, does it by default is different from "YOU MUST DO IT THIS WAY GUN TO YOUR HEAD". You use email different from me, because you have tons of unread emails. I use email different from how anybody at Google uses it, apparently, because they think it's CRITICAL I get a notification of that 5% discount at 1-800-PET-MEDS website. That's ok.
I just want the OPTION to use email the way I used it on my Windows Phone. I'm not asking for my desire to be the default or only way of doing it; I just want feature-parity with a competing phone OS from 2010. Preferably without ads, or confusing permissions screens, or third-party apps written by amateurs.
Given I'm a dumb stupid moron retard etc., but I don't see that as unreasonable.

Then shut up about it being "the default on literally every baby toy OS since the stone age" crap.

Unsubscribe to that list then. Or filter it out to another folder and skip the inbox. You'll make your life easier.

@tsaukpaetra How about I use email the way I want, and you leave me alone? How about that alternative?
-
@stillwater Yep. It's not as bad as you think, since it's mostly just tag changes: endless tedium.

@magus How's the development experience otherwise?

I'm pretty sure it didn't show you count - only that you have some unread messages.

Now you're just fucking with us. I've used various versions of Outlook and Outlook Express, and not once have I seen this behavior. I know because if I did, the very first thing I'd do was to disable it. It might've been an option, but it very definitely wasn't the default.
But I agree that it would be useful sometimes. Like, twice a year, with my usage patterns. But I understand it might be different for other people.

Dunno, but the first time I was made aware of it was in Red Vs. Blue, where Sarge sent Tucker (I think) to get headlight fluid and elbow grease from the other base.

Only 624? Hah! 7338 in my main inbox, not counting ~25000 I've shoved into various folders without reading them.
