Exclusive: Google Pixel 9 processor won't be the ambitious chip we hoped for
Reply in thread
I know you probably don't mean it this way, but it's not literally any phone. Also custom ROMs could have their own issues and bugs to deal with.

Xiaomi won't give Android updates if you unlock your bootloader
Reply in thread
Well depends on why you're unlocking the bootloader. Some people just want root but not necessarily a custom ROM. Though for some phones a custom ROM may be more appealing than others.

Former reddit user here. I hope that this site grows and prospers and I look forward to discovering replacement communities for subreddits I've used.

Inbox's spiritual successor Shortwave has finally come to Android

Uh what? Google developed Inbox. And its features were not all transferred 100% to Gmail either.

FWIW you can use list or compact view and it won't show ads (for now at least). Or just pay the pricey one-time fee to remove ads.

What's your favorite RSS Reader?
I use Inoreader though I don't have any experience with using it in an Apple ecosystem. And if you want yet another alternative look at The Old Reader.

It was 15 euros earlier today, what happened?
Reply in thread
Not the person you replied to but I don't evaluate app prices in a vacuum. First I think of what paying actually gets me (e.g. no ads), then I consider how it compares to alternatives both free and paid. A paid app has to provide some value over a free app and an expensive app has to provide some value over cheaper apps. Furthermore if an app is priced such that I can buy 3-4 other apps while also being more expensive than any individual apps I've previously purchased then it gives me some pause.

RethinkDNS got updated and it's amazing now
Reply in thread
With Android's private DNS feature it makes it easy to get some form of system-wide ad blocking without needing to rely on an app or have root. I think that would make it fairly popular. Of course this is an app but the root argument still applies.

Why is cooking a food item method called different things by what the item is, or what is the criteria?
It's not based on the item. You can boil turkey and poach eggs as well. Here's various definitions to get you started:

Lets say I wanted a distro with more bleeding edge packages but not something DIY like Arch, what would you recommend?

At what percentage battery health should I consider replacing it?
Replace it when your daily battery life starts becoming unacceptable or if the battery itself starts swelling.

I remember purchasing that keyboard a long time ago. The super compact layout was neat. Shame they ceased development.

I think some views like List don't have the ads.

Logitech I guess. There is the mousereview subreddit if you want to research some alternatives. Don't know if there is a Lemmy community equivalent.

How much do you pay to remove ads in other apps? Serious question.

I think that's Samsung. The Pixels don't have a fuse AFAIK.

Any reputable Ad Blocking app on the Play Store?
You won't find any ad blockers in the Play Store. The best you can do is a browser with built-in ad blocking or an extension.
Otherwise if you want an app, you'd have to sideload it.
