android used to have a program called tasker where you could do ifttt-style things with your phone, idk if it's still around. but if all you're doing is sending pictures from your phone to the cloud, you really don't need to build that program yourself

i remember installing tasker years ago, don't remember anything about it. i'll have to look into it

i'm just a fuckin' unix beard who wants to `cat /dev/camera > /tmp/pic.png`, my poo poo should largely be disregarded

tasker still exists and still lets you dramatically over engineer your sad telephone

i finally uninstalled it when i got my se and stopped using my android for anything besides awful.apk but i exported my "get my ip address and toast it" as a separate app first because that's a feature

godspeed you tasker

yeah i just mean it would be nice to be able to write the equivalent of a shell script, ideally from off the phone, and load it into the phone.

like i acknowledge that this is something only the most demented and hosed up of computer touchers would want which is why there will never really be a mainstream device for that. but as somebody who writes shell scripts all the drat time that's something i'm comfortable with, and if i could make a button that e.g. scp'd all photos taken in the last day to my web server in an appropriately-named directory and then gave me a url i could text to people, i'd just as soon do that as gently caress around with ifttt or whatever other crap

At least on iOS they still don't stop the play back if you put the screen face-down (I assume on Android they do because: :google:?).

Also, has anyone seen that creepy-rear end pre-roll ad (for an album I think?) with the spiders crawling out of that chick's mouth? My kid likes to watch the "Thunder" video while I drive him to school so I have to pre-screen that horrifying ad before I give him my phone.

maybe there’s some hacky solution possible with inter-app audio. **e video, idk

of course it's not a thing on android, i just played a video and set my phone face down, the only thing that happened was the audio got muffled

if they stopped playback when the phone is face-down that would mess with their #1 youtube watcher base, teens lying in bed holding their phone overhead for hours at a time

I assumed there was a light sensor or something that would detect a surface immediately beneath it, rather than just open air?

Google Play Music All Access Deluxe Extreme Off-Road Platinum GOTY Edition is the spotify competitor but if you buy that you also get yt premium for free, and it will probably be quietly killed off and rolled into yt music one day.

Nevermind it looks like one is a superset of the other now (for a larger price).

It used to be google play music all access == youtube red, but when youtube red became youtube premium they upgraded all existing users and created the new lower tier cheaper youtube music

I think.

youtube music is the direct replacement for google play music. this is a lower cost thing just about music, and the google play music thing isn't meant to be discontinued for quite some time yet as new things goes into "youtube music"


youtube premium is they just renamed youtube red because youtube red was kind of a dumb name. feature set didnt change, this always cost more than google play music and costs more than the eventual replacement with the youtube branding cuz it does more. you pay the higher price for youtube premium, and it includes the lesser service for free just as red included gpm for free.

gpm all access came with red for free and vice versa. you got the $8/month deal if you signed up early, but after that they've been $10/month or $15 for the 6-person plan until the changes they're making now
