Sundar Pichai needs to go. In his tenure there has lead to more bad decisions than good, and now their show horse Google Search, is beginning to stagnate.

They need to turn things around fast if they want to keep their reputation and marketshare from dwindling.

I'm glad more people are realizing how evil big tech companies are.

Cut off one head of the Hydra and another two grow in its place.

Reddit

I really had this moment of clarity when I realized that my smartwatch was sending data to the manufacturer who was sending it to advertisers who are then selling it to health insurance agencies, which may affect me in ways I couldn't imagine.

Now I'm more than happy just wearing a G-Shock every day.

That's a great idea. I have transcribed it to text on the post description.

Absolutely. I will never use Reddit again out of principle.

Happy for you! If wearing a regular watch makes you feel better, then the value of that far outweighs any other option.

They also have to deal with Wendigos. Not sure if slow internet or a horror beyond human imagine is scarier

All the time dude, ADHD sucks lol

You forgot the entire known universe in the side pocket lol

My friend recently went on a trip into the mountains for some hiking, they took some photos that made me ask if it was from a DSLR camera, but it was just from a Pixel 7 Pro. Amazing how far phone cameras have come.

There's a certain level of classism I feel when it comes to phones, it almost feels tribal. Outside the tech/enthusiast space, the average person (at least here where I live) correlate Android with being the cheap option, whereas if you pick iPhone, you are picking the premium option.

I absolutely love this, thanks for the reminder to practice gratitude.

Apple's app store monopoly is a huge issue, I recently was suggested an app for iOS called, "Carrot Weather" as it was highly acclaimed for being optimized and brandishing a clean UI, however, when I opened the app, I was asked to pay a yearly subscription of $50. For a weather app.

Noped out of there immediately. Everyone and their mum seems to have a subscription service now.

I can sideload any app I want, and install open source apps from F-Droid

Going to shoutout Jerboa for Lemmy, it's working really well surprisngly even though it's in a very early stage of development.

I can use projects like ReVanced to install modified apps effortlessly, and don’t have to go through the AltStore/Apple Developer BS to install simple things like uYou

I don't know how Apple plans to handle the EU law for sideloading, but currently you can only sideload an app for 7 days with free software like AltStore, it's really not fun lol.

I can entirely replace my home screen with a different launcher app if I wanted to

Launchers are such a game changer, I hope they continue to thrive!

I'm an Android user, but I just wanted to say thanks for treating both platforms equally 🙏

Plexamp is awesome, and the UI/UX is gorgeous in my opinion!

I've become better at talking to people. Overcoming my past trauma and social anxiety has made me so much happier and at peace. Now I'm on the path to fostering meaningful connections with people who help me grow as a person, and hopefully the other way around as well.

I recently started using Niagra Launcher, love the minimal design it has.
