On my main laptop I use KDE, it’s smooth and gets the job done. On my tablet, I use GNOME. It runs well, and is touch-optimized. On my other laptop, I use gnome for no particular reason.

I bought a wear os watch deliberately because I thought I would enjoy modifying and customizing it like a regular android phone. In reality, I don’t use it much more than for fitness tracking. I’m going to buy a garmin instinct and not change for the next 4 years.

This looks nice but what license does it use?

I’m not a vandal, but…

I hope google gets fucked up the ass with this, because the play store is a cancerous app store thats giving android as a whole a bad name. I trust F-droid about 50x as much as I trust the play store just because of it promoting honesty and transparency from app developers. At this point, if I want an app that’s not on f droid, I usually just won’t get it.

Anyone know about lineageos tv? It looks cool, but there might be some issues I dont know about not using it yet.

Just curious do you know why the F-droid repo says the app has trackers?

typing this from firefox on a tablet ;)

Ice Universe is generally reliable as a leaker but this didn’t seem fact based, it just seems like a random guess. Hey, I’ll bookmark this post to see if it comes true…

Is there something about chromium that makes people stick to it? I’m sure the kiwi browser is good, but why not just use firefox or Mull Browser from the creators of divestOS.

Manifest v3 extensions*

Yes. I know it’s not realistic, but it would still be cool

It’d be cool if they applied to all of android not just googled android.

Here’s a take: If you want higher quality, less gimmicky products, buy business devices. I own a Dell Latitude laptop and a Getac tablet, but I don’t have a business phone like this because the custom ROM support might not be as good.

Forced Arbitration is when a company puts something in their terms of service that forced the user to go through a process of arbitration as opposed to going to court. It is always rigged towards the company who forces it, because they are the people paying the arbitrators.

…except it’s from Google so I’d assume it’s all going through their servers and it won’t work on third party OSes

I’d argue the 9a is more equivalent to the regular 16, the regular pixel is the plus. Then the Pro and Pro max are the pro and pro xl

This is a great site, thanks for sharing.

pixel is literally becoming the iphone
