I do not consider this a win, and I will continue applying pressure where I can.

There is way too much white-space in this design. I'm tired of getting higher resolution displays only to lose that resolution to applications that get chunkier.

"Free"

I was using .local, but it ran into too many conflicts with an mDNS service I host and vice versa. I switched to .lan, but I'm certainly not going to switch to .internal unless another conflict surfaces.

I've also developed a host-monitoring solution that uses mDNS, so I'm not about to break my own software. 😅

The Android version of the app still has the zoom/cursor offset bug when using a software keyboard from when they sunset RDP 8. That has been a severe usability bug for over three years now.

Let Google know what you think about this: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfN3UQeNspQsZCO2ITkdzMxv81rJDEGGjO-UIDDY28Rz_GEVA/viewform

It's not built in, but I generally recommend Solid Explorer for that functionality: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.solidexplorer2&hl=en_US&gl=US

The Nuzu repository is already wiped.

In case you're not aware, there are a decent number of open weight (and some open source) large language models.

The Ollama project makes it very approachable to download and use these models.

I'm upset that they'll make foldable screens before adding a physical keyboard "because movable parts break too often".

By some metrics, Firefox surpasses Chrome now.

If they think I'm going to purchase a computer that will become unsupported between 2-7 years from now and refuse to install the software I want to install, they're insane.

At some point, you lose productivity and reduced work weeks have shown increases in productivity can happen.

Whether a jury feels a charge is fair is the whole reason trial by a jury of peers exists.

It's a feature of the system, not a bug.

They charge for remote access whether it's through their relay service or not, and you can't opt out of fallback to their relay service.

With UI decisions like the shortcut bar, they really don't. I switched to another SMS app because I couldn't stand it.

They still haven't fixed the task switch button from the three button layout becoming non-functional after four years: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/204650736

It's a byproduct of the home and task switch button now being managed by the Pixel Launcher regardless of which launcher you use. The animation delay makes it so the button becomes inactive and won't be made active again until the Pixel Launcher is killed or the phone restarted.

From my perspective, Google is losing interest in maintaining Android at all.

I'm highly concerned about this, not only due to lack of control of software I can choose to install, but also what happens once a developer is blacklisted? I haven't seen anyone really address this.

What guidelines will Google use to determine that an app is "safe"? Will Google begin blacklisting developers who modify apps? What about developers who make apps that aren't controversial themselves, but linked to controversial technologies or can be used for controversial means? (Torrent clients, etc.) Google to my knowledge has not provided a list of criteria they will use.

Even if Google claims pure motivations now, I think the amount of control this policy carries will be far too tempting for Google to refuse to utilize in full for any cause.
