Unless it's end to end encrypted it's useless, false sense of security is worse than insecurety.

It's good but I personally don't care, phone manufactures will eventually stop updating their old phones, since Pixel phones are so open I can rely on third party ROMs comfortably, that's also why I got the Pixel 6 Pro at the first place. Although I would admit for the mass majority an Apple like updating experience is essential.
I would really like to see Google improve their hardwares, I have no complaints with my 6 Pro whatsoever, but it's obviously inferior to the Samsung's S Series Ultra or the Apple's iPhone Pro, both in terms of specs and designs. I have no issues with specs since I don't play games but I believe most people still do, designs however is much more important especially in the premium phones frontend.
The notification icons are definitely better than the colored ones. I probably exaggerated a bit about the “guideline”. What I really meant is that on iOS all icons have to be exactly the same size and shape, and they all look crisp, on Android it’s not guaranteed.
I enjoy Material You design overall, the themed icons though are not my flavor, I would much prefer icons following a strict guideline like on IOS and still remain very differentiated.
E-cigarettes is designed to replace cigarettes nowadays, not to help you quit smoking.
I don't personally want any affiliation with Microsoft, someone please do this, I've searched the issues and there are no opening issues about this one.
Self-host yourself is the safest option, I do.
SearXNG, there's nothing much else to say.
Thunder loading is really slow for me compared to Liftoff or Mlem, I see very few people talking about this
Thunder has very high potential, its UI is vastly superior to Liftoff, currently my biggest issue is with its loading speed, it's unbelievably slow. Liftoff on the other hand has terrible UI, but amazing functionality while being extremely fast and open-source too.
Aside from the lackluster UI polishment, Liftoff is a very decent client, already feels better than the official Reddit app.

I have that function disabled on my phone. It's not about not doing that during sleep though but rather the green dot will pop every single time when I wake up the device, say I lock the screen just 1 second ago 1 second later when I wake up the phone the dot will pop, this can be reproduced repeatedly. I honestly think this must be a bug on my phone specifically but downgrade the Play service does fix this and the updated version is still behaving like this in safe mode. I'm seriously thinking about switching to Lineages OS at this point...
