How much does it weigh?

People need to be paid for their efforts. If you’re not going to pay them, who is? Advertiser are.

The treasure is being bankrolled by google, so I mean it’s someone’s Treasure that’s for sure.

“One thing Mozilla does have going for it is a lot of money—more than $1 billion in cash reserves, according to its latest financial statement. The primary source of this capital is Google, which pays Mozilla to be the default search engine on the Firefox home page. Those payments, which started in 2005, have been increasing—up 50% over the past decade, to more than $450 million, even as the total number of Firefox users has plummeted. In 2021 these payments accounted for 83% of Mozilla’s revenue.”

You mean the nonprofit company that is dependent completely on a contract with google to stay solvent? Ya, firefox will definitely never be pressured by google… Bruh

You can export the created image and use it like any other wallpaper. I have my emoji wallpaper on my iphone as well.

Fingerprint is better without a screen protector. I posted the same bugs on reddit, but decided to fix it by moving my sim to an iphone

Pixel launcher. It’s sufficient, but lawnchair works too if you require more customization.

Moved to Maine and literally everyone was white.

Beseen internet chatrooms, ICQ, every website was someone’s personal project, they just made it for fun. Yahoo messenger pool games and online chess. Php message boards and the communities that formed around those.

The early internet was so slow that everything was text based. Talking to other people was the primary form of interaction and nothing was really monetized. Everything was just there because it was nerd shit and people found homes, and communities, and belonging. It was real world values on a screen, not the influencer driven, 30sec video affiliate links shallow, corporate conglomerate that it is now.

That’s why I appreciate the fediverse. It feels like real people just playing with technology and talking to each other.

Google pixel for the following reasons:

Smart insights via Google assistant:

1. Bill due soon reminders via Google assistant. It can read my email and remind me of upcoming bills, their amount, who it’s too, and when it’s due. Sends a notification to the phone.

2. Finance watchlist notification: at the end of each market day it will send me a notification just showing me how my watchlist performed for the day

Phone:

3. Call screening, business calls, spam, and robo

4. Hold for me feature.

5. Phone trees visual

6. Visual voicemail - live transcripts

Google translate:

7. Live translation of audio

8. Translate any sign or text via Google lens

9. Search visually via Google lens

Customization

10. Theme settings independent of device. You can set each app individually. Some apps are better in light mode

Google assistant integration in the phone. Call and text people, reduce volume, paused audio, set volume, google search, turn on flash light etc. You can control features of your phone with your voice. It’s fantastic.

It’s a really smart, smart phone.

Can’t believe yours is still working. Mine bootlooped after a long flight from Seattle to the east coast

Great news all around

They recently mentioned perhaps pivoting to lemmy if they cant figure out the API issue. Exciting times and they posted it in their sub

Infinity for reddit mentioned trying to keep developing and if they can’t get API access, they said pivoting to a lemmy client is on the table. They posted this in their sub on reddit.

Exciting since I infinity for reddit is a fdroid only client that rawks!

That’s a good analogy.

Awesome keep up the good work. iOS is so popular in the US a good lemmy client will be beneficial to the decentralized internet community.

Time to take the www back, we appreciate your hard work

Give it time. The community was very small for a very long time. There wasn’t a big need or push for detailed mobile functionality.

The ruins of Rome are never as cushy as the empire. But give it time. Pizzas on the way brother.

Tbf the watches didn’t really do much on their own. A factory reset didn’t do too much, let’s hope that changes as wear is matures.

Apple has proven there is a market for it. Hopefully google will invest more into it.

Pixel is quirky but not too bad. the fingerprint sensor is the worst part :(
