Soo...I can't enable the "Always On Display" on the Pixel 7 anymore when in Battery Saver mode?

I'm quite certain it was possible just some months (?) ago as long as the setting is ticked.

I'd love to use more power saving stuff, but I NEED the AOD because manufacturers decided to remove the little notification LEDs because they're obviously not people actually using the devices.

*mumbles angrily*

(I'm specifically using GrapheneOS, but I don't think they make any changes in that department.)

Bei all meiner Skepsis gegenüber #GenAI mit #LLM finde ich das doch teilweise ganz nützlich. Bisher war ich faul und habe abwechselnd diverse free-Accounts bei #ChatGPT, Gemini, Duckduckgo AI und Co. benutzt. Selbstverständlich mit Anfragen bei denen es kein Problem ist, wenn sie öffentlich werden.
Nun hat mein #GooglePixel einen Google Tensor Coprozessor. Kann man das Ding nicht für lokale AI benutzen? Kennt ihr ein lokales, performantes #LLaMa o.Ä. für Smartphones und Laptops? #askfedi

Yesterday, I suddenly stopped being able to swipe right from the home screen on my #Android phone (unlocked #GooglePixel) to see the Google app (which I think was previously called the "Discover" screen).
Has this happened to you recently? I'm wondering if Google pushed out an update or something which caused it.
Anyway, FWIW, I eventually figure out how to fix it: tap and hold anywhere empty on the home screen, select, "Home settings", and enable "Swipe to access Google app".

On May 4th from last year, we had a scheduled power outage that went from 12am to 8am. That night, I woke up hearing my dad failing to start the generator in the garage just to get our electric fans and chargers work again in our bedroom.

Me and my parents decided to walk to our terrace with my tripod in upstairs, checking to see if the sky is clear so I can do astrophoto stuff that time, while my dad sleeps there for a cool, fresh air. To my surprise, there were no lights around our street so some of the stars and satellites we haven't seen before are now visible than usual (except we had a bright solar light that lighted our terrace's door, aswell as the moon being visible in its Waning Crescent phase but they don't affect my astrophotography by much). Also, bortle scale here was around 2-3 scale that night (normally it is around 5 with power on).

And then me and my mom noticed this dark grey-ish cloud in the sky above our heads, next to the moving clouds being in the way. It was really barely visible to our eyes. I thought I saw a Milky Way for the first time... but it actually is after I opened the Stellarium app on my phone and pointed at it!

Got me excited. So I mounted my phone to my tripod and took several pics of the galactic core before we went back to sleep at 5am, waiting for the electricity to be back. I was amazed by my wonderful photos of it from my phone after checking them :D

I only picked the first and the last on this post because they are the best. For now, these are also my last Milky Way pics I have only seen clearly like that from it. #ThrowbackThursday
