I actually pay for Premium at the moment, but still would need to sit through baked in sponsored messages, and YouTube Shorts or other internal YouTube big banner service advertisements. So i still have uBlock (and sponsor block) anyway to remove that stuff. At which point... Why am i paying for Premium again? They made their site awful to use regardless of if you pay, unless you use adblocking and other extensions.
Maybe because it's using "slams" in the title.
I agree with everything you wrote, except as a designer I wanted to point out that the lack of scope limitation is not usually due to design, but rather product and marketing who drive new features, because their job is to increase new customers, and improving life for existing customers is a far second -- only so far as potential new customers may be impacted (reviews, comparisons with competitors, or churn). So long as they can mostly keep existing customers they will always fight against spending development time on improving their experience, when they could add a new point to the feature list for marketing.
The issue is the drive for infinite growth is counter to a human-usable quality-focused UX (with a focused scope and focused target audience).
No one is saying gender is the only point of discrimination, but this specific event is focused on gender issues.
I'm sure the cost to the consumer will remain exactly the same, or somehow increase.
I feel like the type of person reading your comment on Lemmy isn't the type of person that stays on a platform after it pulls shit they don't agree with.
Would be better if it were optional. The little key in the status area is more than enough indication for me. A persistent notification is not a notification, it's a hack.
Maybe they should bring back some form-factor diversity that niche consumer segments could gravitate toward, instead of every manufacturer targeting only the largest (and blandest) portion of the pie and ignoring the rest of it. If it's not clear, I am holding out for some decent "mini-sized" Android option.
That's a "port".
A "remaster" is traditionally more focused on a rerelease with improved graphic fidelity - details, resolution, possibly lower-effort improvements to models and geometry, but basically the same game, slightly modernised with better modern compatibility.
A "remake" would be a complete overhaul of the modelling, QoL improvements, or reimagining some systems potentially including game engine. Eg, the FF7 remake.
As a UX designer, EU please save us from Adobe!
If they would have committed to the "small phone" thing and made it significantly smaller, it would have differentiated it from the competition and I (at least) would have bought it immediately. Instead it competed against S23, iPhone, Xiaomi, Pixel 7a with nothing to really set it apart, except for more questionable software support.
I hope they might consider a Proton Photos, since Google Photos really holds me to Google Drive. And Proton AI for working with documents on Proton Drive.
Maybe they could switch things up and offer a single modern mini phone model, under 5".
I also want to throw in Ori and the Blind Forest. I don't know the gender of Ori for sure, but it's a little animal.
It's a beautiful game, with great gameplay, animation, music, story, and I think it would be fun to watch someone else play.
Including Oblivion. I enjoyed it but it was a huge disappointment to me coming out of Morrowind. Bethesda reputation for me has been on Morrowind credit this whole time.
If you're used to Google Assistant in 2023, the bar for being amazed would be pretty low.
How is Australia or Assange related to it?
I agree with the article, but i hate the way the author just admits defeat at the end. "I hate everything about it! But i won't realistically leave. And actually you can keep doing it all, just let me hide hotels pretty please". Ugh.
I can't claim I've managed anything more, beyond periodically re-testing the alternatives, but i just hate to see it written., Feels like it undermines the whole argument when they make clear that Google will see no consequence.
The biggest hurdle for me, is that many businesses and other points of interest are missing in the alternatives. And if not missing, then useful data like opening hours, reviews, etc aren't there.
But i hate every moment i spend in Google Maps due to the advertising and bad UX, and I will jump ship as soon as something comes even close (on Android).
I imagined those antibodies already. I didn't know I was supposed to say anything about it. I'm imagining more antibodies right now.
I don't think that's it; I'm gay and get nudes from other gay guys. Results are still consistent with the OP's example. I think girls consider the whole body aesthetic more, guys are laser focused on "here is a close-up of my dick", "here is my asshole", "so we ready to go, or?"
America will put any(every)one in jail except this one guy.
Would be great if they could instead move the whole physical top of the screen closer to my thumb for the next Pixels.
Lameness is the most important part of the Google Assistant experience.
I feel the opposite. I pay for the narrative and experiencing the game's mechanics and interactive art, not to flush as much of my life away as possible. When I see people complaining a game was too short, I am basically ready to add it to my wishlist.
Not sure it counts as a brandnewsentence if the brand new part is the word "again".
The only reason i don't buy it is because it's too big. Particularly for a phone i would commit to for a longer lifespan, the physical design needs to be without compromise, and i know that the moment someone releases a half-way decent mini Android phone, i will drop whatever phone i have and buy that instead.
If you implant it in your body by accident, titanium is biocompatible.
"once you're paired up, you're going to delete your account" woah woah woah, I never said that.
I'm considering moving to Apple just for a "mini" phone, and i know it would be supported for a good few years yet. Android has no comparable phone.
But I prefer pretty much everything else about Android. Not just prefer, actually I really dislike iOS, the way it's organised, the way it handles "Back" gesture, etc.
Foldables are basically the opposite of what I want: a small slab flagship phone, maybe 5" would be ideal. I don't want it to become huge at any point.
The content from Twitter, but you don't have to log in to view it.
For me it's 100% about banking or payment apps that won't run if they detect a custom ROM or root. Otherwise i would consider the effort worth it, if only to free the device from the manufacturer's limited update commitment.
Make games weird again
Galaxy S23 is the same size though?
I feel like some people just hear "crypto" or "ai" and start screeching and clawing at the air.
Not every feature needs to be for you specifically, these features are optional and don't compromise or even impact their other products. They seem to be on-brand in being more privacy-focused alternatives to some of the existing market options while remaining accessible, and keeps Proton in the game depending on how the landscape develops.
I don't use Proton (yet) but I generally like what they're doing and hope they succeed, and I don't see any of these developments as negatives, just more competition.
Europe is a pretty similar situation with WhatsApp, where everyone is kind of forced to use that same platform, just luckily WhatsApp is available on iOS and Android.
Or Facebook Messenger, which I kind of have to use to talk to my relatives and some friends around the world.
Doesn't have the same weird pressure to use one device manufacturer like in the US though, but trying to get someone (let alone everyone) to add you on Telegram or Signal can be a similar struggle, if they don't see a value in the effort required to switch apps just for you.
Microsoft could have been ahead on this with Cortana if they had any real commitment and vision.
X users are like that henchman in Austin Powers that refused to die, just kept updating everyone on his pain and slow death process. Just leave the platform or don't, but stop being surprised at every new indignity, if there were ever a line that shouldn't be crossed, it was left in the dust long ago.
I'm trialling it already as my main browser. I like it.
