> It has made me not trust my computer. I second guess myself much more. If some option no longer exists, I wonder if it was just my imagination or if it was quietly deprecated while I wasn't looking. Does it even matter?
Reminds me of 1984.
- apostacy 7y agoIt's fascinating, because whatever thing was silently deprecated, there will be hoards of defenders in comments insisting that the thing never existed, and it was just your imagination. Even on sites like Stackoverflow! Part of this is because release notes no longer most things removed (they are just covered under "other interface enhancements"). I did track down the home screen rotation change but it was very obscure. In one thread a user had to post actual video of two different Nexus One devices and prove that the update removed landscape homescreen mode. This is the world we live in, where this is a massive cloud of uncertainty over what our devices are even capable of doing!
