Meanwhile all conservatives want to privatize healthcare because they think Americans walk in, pay $100, and get seen within 5 minutes.

I try to tell them that they have the same wait times and pay thousands. At least in Canada we don't leave the ER with a bill. They don't listen, though.

If you're leaving you don't need to be there in the first place.

I went a couple months ago, waited 2 hours, and then was hospitalized for a week.

My girlfriend went 4 days ago. Waited 3 hours for stitches.

If you're able to leave, you never should've come in the first place.

Nope. Canada has had tap to pay for as long as I can remember. When Android Pay rolled out, nothing really changed. We just tap our phones instead of the physical card now.

How messy is your wallet that you don't know?

My wallet consists of my health card and drivers license. Everything else is via Google Pay, and I've not carried cash in Canada for over a decade and a half.

The hell you carrying around?

Why are you like this?

Not to mention a lot of their killed apps/services are old versions. Like angularJS was upgraded to Angular V2.

That's like saying Mozilla is killing Firefox because they released version 120!

Also a lot of the services were "killed" to combine them into one service. The thing people have been begging Google to do for years, to merge apps and focus on one instead of 10 separate ones.

Or the fact there's hardware on there, like Google "killing" Google Home Max. You mean releasing Google Next Max? The next version?

That website is garbage, and anyone that links it is just being dishonest.

They sent me 5 free ones also. Now I have 5 free Bluetooth controllers and 5 free Chromecast ultras.

Tiktok and YouTube are my only sources of entertainment. I'm okay paying for both.

Especially since both allow for anyone to upload as much as they want without limits or fees. Hosting that much data isn't cheap.

Obviously the FOSS users will downvote me, as they believe everything should be free and unlimited.

Obviously. I predicted this on Mastodon months ago when they started adding ads right in the middle of videos.

Piss people off and they'll pay to disable ads. There's nothing that competes with TikTok right now.

And battery savings.

I've been playing games on my Pixel 7 pro streaming from my PC using moonlight and my phone lasts 8+ hours while gaming.
