What the hell ? Feels like it was sitting at 30k just a couple days ago, insane growth.

This will outlive us, no matter the platform.

I've joined two days ago and so far I'm really liking it, it seems like a nice alternative and there's something about it that really feels fresh, I think it's the fact that it's kind of slow content wise as of now since it takes time to build communities but that just makes me appreciate it even more.

we're witnessing something great taking place and I'm glad I'm part of it.

Android because I like the freedom it provides.

As for the phone I'm using. It's a Oneplus 3 I got a few years back, it's falling apart but I can't afford changing it, so I'll be using it till its last breath.

You're not missing anything, people either think you're defending Rogan by pointing out the insult or they just don't care about the fact that the insult is degrading for peasants.

Calling someone a peasant as a humorous jab is okay, but using it as a serious insult isn't.

Yeah no, I'll keep using it, you'd be surprised how many people can't pick up on sarcasm.

Why wouldn't they ?

Got my pixel 6a just a couple weeks ago so this is kind of a work in progress heh, nova launcher and Simplit icon pack.

I bought a second hand pixel 6a a couple weeks ago, my previous phone was the OnePlus 3, lasted me 5 years and at the time of purchase it was already a two years old second hand, bought them for basically the same price, 200€.

I love reading such headlines, really glad there's an entity that can enforce such rules on manufacturers, at least when they're looking after us

A number of devs talked about the pricing and the consensus seems to be that the fee applied to keep the apps afloat would need to be pretty high and they don't see how it can be sustainable.

I wonder how much Infinity is planning on asking and I doubt its user base will be so keen on paying that much.

My OP3 was dying and I needed a new poo phone, I can't afford buying things whenever I want so that's extra incentive to hold on to my devices, so after 5 years of use (the OP3 was second hand) I finally got the opportunity to switch phones and I got the pixel 6a (second hand as well)

Honestly I love it, it's basically the same size and almost the same dimensions as my previous phone but with a bigger screen, the OS has some very cool and intuitive options here and there, the camera is better back and front, the battery is great for my use case, I appreciate having a new phone again that will still have decent software support.

And all of this for around 200€, the same price I got my OP3 5 years ago, I'm really glad I could find such a good phone for this price.

I used to mod a lot back in the day, installing custom roms, custom kernels, all kinds of apps, but that changed and I just use a DNS and ublock on Firefox, I'm not even planning to unlock the bootloader and root this one, I'm happy with stock, it has everything I need at this point in life.

Quick a person is defending something or someone, iT mUsT bE vIrTue sIgNaLing, get your pitchforks and torches !!!

Relax friend, not everyone has ulterior motives for saying something.

The Exynos variants of Samsung devices can have their bootloader unlocked, it's the snapdragon ones that can't and even then there are some instances where it was possible to do it, but it's still a hassle and the Exynos variants tend not to have good development support.

Pixel 6a user here, the fingerprint reader works 9/10 for me, only rarely refuses to unlock because of a misalignment or something, wondering how people who complain about it actually use it.

Hah I like this kind of environment, there's something peaceful about deserts.

Hey we can see who upvotes and downvotes here, everything works out in the end !

Thank you, there's a link in there that seems pretty solid so far.

Playing The Fractured But Whole for almost a month now, it's a pretty enjoyable experience and it feels just like playing an episode of the show, liking it a lot so far.

Not the same person but I'm using Nova on my pixel, for starters icon pack support is a must to me, and then Nova lets me tweak things on a granular level, so I end up with much cleaner looking launcher, no search bar, no scrolling bar, customizable background color, text color etc and that's just a few advantages it offers.

I love it, performance is good, battery is awesome, build quality is pretty good and I'm happy with the stock OS, back in the day I used to unlock the bootloader and root as soon as I get the phone, but with the software support this phone is going to have and the features it has, I hardly see any reason to root.

Another remake for a game that doesn't need it, trying to get back the industry's favors with something that worked 10 years ago rather than make actual efforts.

The audio mixing for that game is a bit off sometimes and they never fixed.

There's also the camera problem where it always defaults to one side of the character even if you change it.

I love the game, but yeah it's a shame they never fixed these problems.

This is awful, to think that all this legacy would go to waste someday, I can't fathom having all these unique experiences, all these stories and love letters to genres and cultures getting lost in the vortex of time.

I feel sad for the people that are just getting into gaming and them not experiencing games that made history, the good and the bad.

Something like this should be preserved even if just for study purposes, for those games before the digital era, the only options that are left for us are either piracy or emulation, and thankfully we do have these options but yeah we really should have future proofed this industry in some way.

I do use ygg when I need to download something, but I'm talking about streaming here, just watching without having to download.

Thanks though, I appreciate the help.
