Majority of people here descended from people who arrived well after the colonists. About a third of us were born overseas. Around half have a parent born overseas.

I recently tried to get away from outlook as my primary email / calendar. Tried a couple of different providers only to discover just how reliant I am on having seamless calendar invites.
Manually attaching .ICS files to email was not going to cut it. No matter how good caldav is for my phone to desktop, I need to easily make events / respond to them.
Causing air pollution and having major population centres with terrible air quality.
Been using android since the first galaxy. Never have I experienced such a fuck up as when I let my pixel 7 pro update to 14. And this is from someone that used to run random custom stuff going back a few years.
Android 14 caused my phone memory to become corrupt and I had no choice but to factory reset, losing everything not synced. Apparently this was due to running two separate user profiles.
Somehow Google was too busy finding ways to get and sell more of our data and forgot to test if this basic feature fucking works.
Not looking forward to Monday when I'll have to jump through flaming hoops to set up my work micrishaft authenticator / profile / intune crap again.
Other beef with 14, custom launchers are broken. I have never been able to stand the stock launcher, it is like babies first launcher. No customisation options and the stupid search bar can't be removed. A few apps I use on a regular basis claim to to not be compatible, even though they ran fine for several days in 14 till the whole thing shit itself.
On the UI front I feel as if everything seems to get more bland each release with less interesting customisation than we had circa android 5.
Maybe an attempt to push more people to their app? Then they can harvest more user data which investors value.
I'll be very surprised if our govt does anything positive when it comes to digital rights. The current shower of arseholes in government supported the previous even bigger shower of arseholes to pass diabolical legislation like data retention and assistance and access bills.
They can be forced to stay home when it gets too hot instead.
Partner has the z flip4 and is very happy with it.
Although the folding mechanism on the first one seized up. When it was forced open, the pixels on the crease turned off.
Took it back to the retailer and they swapped it on the spot. They were out of 256GB versions, so they provided the 512GB one instead. As the price of them had dropped a lot since purchase, the store gave $250 cash back for the difference.
Yes since when ever Swype was released.
When I got a pixel 7 pro, I was very sad to find out Swype dragon had been discontinued. The APK are still around, but I'm not sure I'm ready to root and or put a custom OS my pixel yet to get it installed.
I've been going back and forward between gboard and swift key. Both are orders of magnitude worse than Swype was at recognising traces for longer words. Blows my mind how Google and Microsoft still can't build something as good as decade old Swype.

On my gaming PC: I had a lot of random boots to black screen. (Vega 56 GPU)
USB ports did not function at all with USB drives.
TF2 had terrible performance compared to windows.
There was no way to configure my sound card settings.
I still run Ubuntu + kodi on my HTPC, have done for about 10 years. Updating versions of either can often lead to time spent in the terminal. Usually nvidia gpu related. So far the issues have been overcome.
They don't even provide refunds for purchases where the developer has cut support, degraded the app or removed the app from the store altogether.
This (outsourcing) was already done 20 years ago in my industry. WFH changes nothing.
I've given Neo a shot. Hasn't got as many features sadly. The main one I miss is infinite scroll through home screens.
I wonder if the tasks pane has been added to the new outlook yet. Last time I tried it at work it was no where to be found. I like having my flagged items next to my inbox.
I've tried a few times in the past but always come crawling back to windows for gaming.
Last time it was terrible performance in TF2 that did it, this was after battling against fstab, drivers for my sound card and GPU. Oh and USB drives also refused to work.
Next PC build I'll give dual booting another shot. Will certainly try to get hardware that others have reported as working.
I still run Ubuntu with Kodi on my HTPC and that's usually good.
Yeah not something I plan to take up in my country either.
Last non-android was a Nokia 95-4. Was still fairly smart though. In fact if I recall it had a lot more functionality than the iPhone 3g that my gf had at the same time.
Last non smart was probably the Nokia 7250.
Indeed it would be. I've recently degoogled by installing Graphene on my phone too.
I'd never really used my gmail account for email or calendar previously anyway as I never liked it from the start. It's just what my android's have been tied to.
The YouTube music algorithm is a pile of shit. It always wants to lead you to more well known stuff. It's like you are only ever as few related tracks away from top 50 pop.
That looks great. I suspect YouTube is going to get the enshitification treatment at some point in the near future. Having an archive of content will be handy.
I have one of those keyboards too. The track pad on it is way better than others I have tried.
For controlling kodi though I mostly use Kore from a phone.
Afterwards did you search for your username + site:reddit.com ?
I found power delete only did most of the comments. I think can only see the top 1000 of each sort method.

I was a long term Nova user also. Have tried a few others since, none of which I liked except Neo, which appears to have issues in 14 too.
Probably overkill but I still run an old x86 office PC I picked up cheap in an auction. Currently running Linux mint + Kodi. Really like the Kore phone app to control it.
Lots of easy ways to get shot there from what I read. Just one more for the list.
I don't have a search bar on Graphene OS.
Ours didn't get to stay home, but they weren't allowed outside at lunch the other week when it was over 40. Lucky for them the school has air con in all buildings.
I think so. I tried to install a few different versions and got errors saying it wasn't able to be installed. Assume Swype was a 32 bit app, which you can't install on pixel 7 without doing away with the stock Android.
Not having all the silly teenager / young adult bits of their lives documented in videos for all to see.
