Yeah, as long as Firefox (or a fork) doesn't have native gestures, I can't fulltime swap to it. Gestures addons are not the same. Anyone that used vivaldi (or opera) for any serious length of time knows what I mean.

Oh yeah, I don't have an issue with them ruining their devices. I just have them locked down because I don't want them to have free use on the internet. So much mindrot on there...

I'm very happy my 12y old kid can't just sideload shit nilly willy. He legit Googles minecraft hacks and downloads random apks and stuff if he gets the chance)

(his phone is also fully locked down with parental because a 12y old should have free reign on the internet, but that's beside the point)

The blade runner soundtrack is my go to relax soundtrack. Have listened to it thousands of times by now.

I work for a large eu government agency. Why the hell they still insist that we promote our workings on Twitter completely eludes me. It does not make any sense whatsoever. They should get off and stop promoting that cesspool. Go to any of the myriad of competitors or just go back to Facebook and Instagram...

Really? Been using a logitech trackball at work for 14 years now. My k750 keyboard lasted me almost 10y until the battery completely gave up and I wanted to upgrade. My Mx keys has lasted me for years since.

Similar stories for my mice, none of them have failed, I've only upgraded because I wanted lighter, more/less buttons or for other reasons.

Ofcourse not, I also use fdroid and I sideload a shitton of apps. But Google is not killing off alternate stores, they're just making their store safer. My whole point is that this change is not that negative. If anything it'll have a positive effect on non tech savvy users. It'll save me time by potentially causing less issues on the devices of family members.

That final part isn't really Google's fault no? But just the devs cutting functions?

Yeah, I read it. Didn't think much of it. Are those apps that common? Don't use them, as my browser can read pdf and text files.

Sounds more like some fringe apps will get caught in the cross hairs. Still sounds like a good change for the average end user. For the average power user, it won't make a difference imo.

I mean, I know lemmy has an open source hardon and hates anything walled, but is this really such a bad thing? Google is getting rid of a bunch of shitty apps and risky apps. Nothing is stopping you from still sideloading them if you really need them.

I really fail to see the actual issue aside from "google bad"

What's the last time you met a gatherer doing it as a profession and not a hobby?

Hunters are a little bit more common, but still, full time food hunters are rare.

Prostitutes on the other hand.

So as a simple saying used in a daily life, I can kinda see why it's used :)

I wanted to vote for them, I did so last time, but they didn't appear on the ballot in my country this time. Couldn't vote for them...
