And yet you still can’t change your Google account email

I’ll just use Safari

Makes me feel slightly better to know I’m not the only one living in a country (United States) where foreign bought phones are a hit or miss on the networks. wish they could create a better system though.

Well, I’m just not going to agree with the LLM then

You’re somehow making this sound more fun than it should be.

Ok

A global launch for the Xiaomi Mix Flip means the device will make its way to markets outside of China, such as countries in Europe. A US launch is not expected.

Not much of a global launch then

As if YouTube didn’t have a messaging feature they killed off

I miserably tried to leave and go for.computer science. I tried to avoid IT as much as I could, but in the end it didn’t even matter.

All right then, name a single plug and Play solution that allows you to dismiss a notification on one Android device, and automatically dismiss it on another without any intervention.

Systems and macros such as Tasker do not count.

No seriously if there were any alternatives I would love to know about them

Wish this could have been in the US

Part of what I’ve hoped about Gemini is that Google would actually take advantage of its Cloud infrastructure and build Gemini in a way that makes it truly cross-platform compared to the Google Assistant with a consistent set of features across the web, the speaker, and anywhere else they choose to cram Gemini into.

Instead they choose to channel everything through WhatsApps Android app.

Microsoft products are always so hit or miss. I find Outlook to be a lot better than Gmail, but at the same time it lacks in so many places.

I don’t want more app stores I just want something like a cross platform version of obtainium

I’m not sure exactly. But I personally don’t like GNU because I think they have been embedded in a form of wishful thinking for far too long. Expecting that developers and manufacturers willingly relinquish their rights to their copyright for the benefit of others, regardless if they want to or not. And expecting that end users only seek out those kinds of systems as well. In total, providing everyone with free reign with minimal regard to consequences. And pushing away those that simply want to try and make the things only a little better.

For an organization primarily devoted to ensuring that software remains open, accessible, and modifiable, they sure do seem to like to bend over backwards. Looking directly at GrapheneOS, my personal thought would be the fact the goals of GNU tend to conflict with the goals of security (the FSF has actively spoken against the concept of Tivoization, or systems that use free software but are locked down by hardware restrictions)

They’re also horribly out of touch with the general public. And in some cases, simply too radical to be taken seriously. To name a few examples:

• They have very little understanding of the actual public or anyone else outside of the tech field. Their Gift Guide is an absolute joke, suggesting adapters and old ThinkPads as gifts. With their most appetizing gift (a Vikings D8 Desktop computer) is literally mentioned as being out of stock. Suggesting you instead give, once again, a ThinkPad with Free software. Their only reasons for not using an actively manufactured and relatively modern (as in 3 generations ago) computer that are because of “restrictions to users freedoms” and “spyware” without very much definition aside from a few links (they’ve got much more to say about the computer than they what they believe in).

• Their “preferred terminology”, lists a bunch of jargon they don’t like and their alternatives, making a lot of automatic presumptions of guilt. My personal favorite is “Internet of Stings”. As if projects like Home Assistant aren’t trying to improve the scene (though they’re presumably ignored because they’re also willing to connect with proprietary services)

TL;DR the GNU foundation is made up of a bunch of nerds who care more about messing with their computers than actually trying to do important things with them.

Beats Google Workspace

The polls are completely idiotic but I personally find info cards to be quite helpful.

:3c

At 99$ the Google TV streamer better not have ads on the launcher

The ministries want you to think not, but they probably can.
