Hello, thanks for reporting this, and sorry for the late reply. I have been taking a break from social media.

I just tried and it looks OK now.

Hopefully an intermittent blip on blueskys side ๐Ÿ™‚

BlueView Explore and analyze your Bluesky social presence with powerful analytics and insights.

Maybe it was posted before the the image had a chance to be processed, and it's a bit of a race condition. I'm not sure tbh. ๐Ÿ˜…

Id like to get back on blueview.app, but I've been taking a break from social media recently.

I don't use the Samsung apps at all. I really dislike them.

I much prefer using stock android / Google apps when I can.

Maybe it's time for a change. I had a play with it today and it looked really nice.

Thank you for the photos! That's a really great reference point. They look great.

Thanks for sharing! My main use case is to take photos of my family. My boys are growing up so fast and I know I'll want to look back on these days with fond memories so crystal clear pictures is a priority now ๐Ÿ™‚

How do you find the camera? I've never really thought the camera on the galaxy was great tbh, especially when I compare to iPhone.

My photos always look kind of blurry.

I would like to have better photos and the AI features to go with them.

Nice, what do you prefer about them?

How are the cameras?

Have any of my followers ever switched from a Samsung galaxy phone to a pixel?

I've got the itch to switch phones, but I'm not sure if pixels are decent?

My main concern is with the processor. I don't do any gaming, just standard use.

I've had Samsung galaxy phones since the s3.

Voice notes.

Convenient for the sender.

Absolute nightmare for the recipient.

Do the right thing. Take the time to type the message. ๐Ÿ™‚

But you could just record the note to yourself, you don't need to send it.

My original message is regarding sending voice notes to other people..

If you don't care about people listening to it, then why are you sending it to them?

Are you just speaking into the void?

I can see the value with that use case, but I would still allow it to be committed and then fail a check in CI.

If the code needs to be linted / formatted then it can be handled during PR creation / cleanup.

I really hate the idea of not being able to commit because of a failing rule.

I've been practicing some leetcode recently.

I've found that I can't answer questions which I successfully did back in 2020.

Does that mean I've got worse as a programmer over the past 5 years? ๐Ÿ˜‚

I always get caught out by this!

I think it's the muscle memory of doing 'cmd+r' for refresh in Web apps, which I think starts the recording on the simulator.

I have so many recordings I never meant to make ๐Ÿคฃ

I went on a bike ride today with a mate and got a puncture.

Thanks goodness he's very switched on and had a replacement inner tube.

I had no idea what I was doing.

Time to nerd up a bit and start learning more about bike maintenance / cycling. ๐Ÿšต
