Before you ask, the accent varies based on diet.
Yes, their flagships are great. I used them exclusively since the Z1 up until I got a Pixel for super cheap and a year of unlimited service thrown in. Not sure what the dev scene is like these days but part of the reason I switched was because it was pretty much stock Android which is what was modding the old phones to get to anyways, so I didn’t really follow it after switching.
I do know that their bootloaders are unlockable though.
Yeah, I’ve only bought Xperia and Pixel for years for this very reason. Switched away from Samsung after getting fed up with their bullshit software and bootloader shenanigans, especially after the dev community moved towards other, better phones. If Google ever completely shits the bed on bootloaders/custom firmware, I’m gone.
This post highlights how shitty Google is about taking cool features away from paying customers.
Just how is it “Google propaganda”???
Edit: I see you had time to downvote the question but couldn’t be bothered to answer it.
We will just have to assume your statement was total bullshit and you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about, but please do feel free to correct that assumption if is incorrect!
I remember when Photosphere worked on just about any device until Google decided to fuck that up for everyone. They sure do love to fuck up cool and/or functional things that people love!
I bought an 8 all excited to have Photosphere again only to discover that Google shit the bed even on the Pixel series. What the actual fuck Google? Why are you so shit?
It’s like you’re begging us to install Graphene or swtich to iOS.
Stop actively making everything shittier! It only hurts your bottom line as people get fed up with this bullshit and move away from Google because it’s constantly destroying the apps and features people love.
Meta wants to metastasize.
They probably don’t understand how anything works because they think learning about stuff is “wOkE” and anyone who disagrees with them is a “leftist”.
You wildly underestimate how stupid and/or ignorant people are.
Yep, you better charge these assholes up the wazoo, they more than earned it! Write that shit up so you’re taken care of. Make them understand that their stupidity is costly and their greed is short-sighted.
“Sheisse, Klaus, do you think ve should leave ze Nazi bar?”
It’s a bold strategy Cotton.
Except it is often more costly to do this in the long run, so it’s a fiscally stupid move that corporations seem to make over and over again.
I think part of what perpetuates it is, the people making the decisions don’t stay there long term, so they never really face the repercussions.
Some more stable places seem like they may have realized this though and keep things all or mostly in house.
They’ll get jobs as contractors fixing shitty AI code
They’ve been doing the same thing in IT for decades, just replace AI with outsourcing.
I deleted mine many years ago, 10/10 would recommend!
Just weeb things…
Not new but there’s !micromobility@lemmy.world if you like bikes, ebikes, boards, motorcycles, etc.
No idea, but since Google fucked over Pixel 8 and 9 users anyways and took it away I’m not overly concerned about it.
