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.

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

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

It was the in-game alias of a very skilled swordsman and skirmisher in the MMORPG called Vindictus. We became good friends and played regularly for several years, conquering the toughest horrors, but one day, he never logged back on. So I started using his username to honor his kindness and prowess with the blade. If you're reading this, just remember that everyone in Lost Paradise [LP] remembers you!

I may move to a pixel 8 pro instead, was hoping it was fully flat

I see the appeal, having home automation on your wrist would be very convenient indeed.

Hahaha, fair enough. If I was Swiss then it would be an easy choice for me as well.

All the time dude, ADHD sucks lol

Duality - Set It Off

I am good, I am evil, I am solace, I am chaos, I am human, and that's all I've ever wanted to be.

This is the motto for the whole duality album. This tells the listener to not hide who you are. Be comfortable in your own skin be you, let the song show you how to accept yourself.

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 really do relate to your reasons. I had been using a smartwatch from spring 2020 until last week, and while it was great for some fitness tracking, it ended up giving me health anxiety due to the constant feeling of 'needing' to meet all my fitness goals daily, and the notifications buzzing my wrist regularly breaking my concentration during work, or for slower times of the day such as sitting on the couch with my headphones and just focusing on the music.

Citizen FTW! Their Eco Drive Watches are the real deal. Accurate, reliable, won't break the bank. Citizen really do live up to their name as a company, they've created a practical and economical slew of products that appeal to the everyday working man. Plan on getting one myself soon!

That honestly sounds like a great balance! Plus, you have some privacy with your health data with that offline Amazfit, so some goons won't sell that private info to some corner of the internet.

Gshocks are the ultimate watch, and honestly one of the most reliable things someone can have for everyday use

I've done pretty well so far. Only subscription I have is for Spotify and 1Password.

I like the convenience of the 2 factor being included with the paid version, and password autofill with TOTP seems to work much more often than Bitwarden (S23 Ultra, latest version of Android) So with that being said, I really like Bitwarden, but prefer 1Password for the convenience.

I've heard great things about GrapheneOS.

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

I haven't noticed performance issues or any battery drain on my S22 Ultra

I use 1Password. Love it so far! it's been a smooth experience and it is cross platform.

I'm not in redacted, but I've heard that and Orpheus are the replacements for it, are they any good?

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.

But I really don’t like iOS. Or the lightning connector.

USB-C, come on guys, lightning needs to go the way of the dinosaurs.

always tell people the best phone (or best one iPhone vs Android) is whatever is best for them. My wife loves her iPhone and everything about it, and that’s okay!

Absolutely, animosity and tribalism are not the way forward!

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!
