For exactly the reasons you state - Google doesn't want ad blockers in their browser.

People do, but ease of use will trump it every time.

Funnily enough, people are already referring to "tweets" on Threads as "threats"

Make cargo shorts cool again

This is crazy. Google is delaying a competitor to Apple's network so Apple can support it better? Of course they're going to slow-walk it.

Moving somewhere else? Where?

The only other options are back to Reddit, or somewhere else in the Fediverse. There aren't other options.

New? Nearby Share has been around for at least a year. The issue is no one knows about it, because as usual Google is horrible with branding.

They should have just called it "Google Beam" or something like that.

TWiT is definitely in trouble. The last time I listened to them, one of their advertisements was for... doing advertisements on TWiT. They were also pushing their subscription every chance they got.

Their whole network comes off as a bunch of boomers complaining about technology. I don't think they'll be around much longer.

If there is one thing Google is committed to, it's being unstabally committed to all of its products.

Probably because the cat is already out of the bag there. Hard to reign them back in and they'd have tons of bad press if they do that.

It has a PWA, use that to get the "app" feeling.

One note I noticed about USB-C dongles and headphones is that they need to be powered, whereas traditional headphones do not. So the headphones draw power from the phone, which then hurts battery life.

Can we just get a new Pixelbook instead?

Yeah, this just happened to me with Authy. Doesn't work with Authy, but it does work with Google Authenticator.

The fact that Lemmy doesn't require you to confirm the 2FA code before enabling it on your account is nuts. This needs to be fixed.

Yeah, I had already done that. I had the notification when I woke up, but it didn't play any sound.

Installing the PWA is simple (in Chrome). In the URL bar at the right side on the Lemmy homepage, you should see a little install icon that looks like a monitor with a downward facing arrow. Click that, and it will install the site like an app.

I had already done that. The notification was there in the morning with DND on, but it still didn't make any sound.
