Why not just say Rust? There isn't really anything else that would provide good enough performance for a browser engine with modern heavy webpages while also fixing some major pain point of C/C++

The Quick Share option missing is weird - Nearby Share/Quick Share is supposed to be available on every Android 6 or newer device since roughly 2020. And it's supposed to be able to automatically figure out a reasonable way to connect the devices (LAN if they are in the same network, Bluetooth or WiFi Direct otherwise).

~~Probably a bit of a TL:DR of the other answer, but the short answer is:~~ the execute bit has a different meaning for directories - it allows you to keep going down the filesystem tree (open a file or another directory in the directory). The read bit only allows you to see the names of the files in the directory (and maybe some other metadata), but you cannot open them without x bit.

Fun fact, it makes sense to have a directory with --x or -wx permissions - you can access the files inside if you already know their names.

Edit: not a short answer, apparently

It's not about Lens, they just used it as the preview image for some reason. The built-in QR scanner should be accessible through quick settings tiles (you might have to edit your quick tiles and add it), and when I launch it and go to the recent apps screen, it doesn't have any app icon, so it is at least somewhat special and not just a regular part of some other app.

Maybe try looking up those links on Wayback Machine? I don't think they use Cloudflare

I get that, but my understanding was that you want to be able to see the map after the trip, not necessarily during it. Which is pretty much what I do with OpenTracks - record my trips and then import them to NextCloud where I can see a big map of all of them combined or look at some specific ones. And there's plenty of Android apps that can import GPX to do the same.

But if MapMyDrive works well for you, then it's a moot point - enjoy what works.

How nice does the user experience have to be? OpenTracks is a decent app for recording GPX tracks (if some map application supports importing tracks from outside the app, it will definitely support GPX), but that's the only thing it does - you don't even get a map in the app.

You can now turn on the “autoscrolling” feature of the Libinput driver, which lets you scroll on any scrollable view by holding down the middle button of your mouse and moving the whole mouse

Am I crazy, or did this used to be a feature? And not just in Firefox

It's a Windows feature that never really made it to Linux. I used to miss it but honestly, middle click paste feels way more useful to me now

Maybe Redis/Redict? The development on that seems pretty dead.

There are cameras and physical buttons that you might want to use on the phone, and the fold might make it nicer to hold in one orientation. Also, the limitation exists because splitting the apps across the shorter side can make very awkward layouts, at least on small phone screens - no such problem with a square. I see no reason not to have the option of both layouts no matter its physical orientation.

I've never used a foldable though, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

Yeah, even the TLDR makes it sound more like Qualcomm is yielding to the pressure from OEMs who want to be able to offer longer updates
