Just a heads up, when I contacted Google Support about this, they insinuated that this is something slowly being rolled out across Pixel 5 devices, so while it may work now, it could stop at any moment. The issue I received when tapping to

We needn't jump to the end of the world or human extinction, hence why I didn't understand the need for finalistic terms like doom. What many people believe is that life simply isn't going to be as good for the next generatio

I hope that what comes from the LLM (I can't call it AI) revolution is a serious society-wide look and discussion about the false economy we currently live in and some ideas to change it. Let's face it. Huge portions of the popula

But Apple and Google (Pixel) are a huge portion of the market.. The other manufacturers are forced to go along with the market leaders, but sometimes also side-load apps for post-device-sale revenue.

"Small phones act as more of a utility device for when you’re away from a proper computer. This is all I want my phone to be." You, like me, are not representatives of a market phone manufacturers are interested in. Utilitarian an

I posted a bit too late and didn't see your post first, which more or less is exactly along my thinking. Modern phones are sold (even at profit) with the intent that there is more payments/ad revenue coming down the line, for movi

We are unfortunately a neglected part of the market. I used to have a Pixel 5. As somebody who uses phones minimally (<10 min average screentime per day), but still wants utilities beyond a feature phone for special use cases (maps, tran

I'm not sure all of the previous posters points were thought out. The 1,000,000 casualties thing keeps popping up, but nobody can confirm this. We have to take Ukrainian sources at their word. Regardless of who you support, during a co

Somebody else echoed my opinion exactly. Don't load your expectations onto other people as a given. I don't use social media. I read (and less often, post on) Hacker News at work sometimes, and that is quite literally all the user

Europe's entire future is on the line right now. Forget many years.. Higher energy prices, and increased defence spending (from a low starting point) to meet the new US governments requirements are exacerbating the cost of living crisi

In the UK, more often than not, when a couple has more than 2 children they are often part of a certain demographic. The idea of this demographic and its culture becoming over-represented is not popular amongst a large portion of the popula

"Media says that it's the economy, but I've never once believed that to be the leading factor. People had babies when they didn't have fresh food, running water, or even homes. Certainly far worse lives than we have toda

It's the economy, stupid. Most younger people can't afford homes. People's money doesn't go as far as it used to. Academic qualifications are worth less than they used to be. Many people currently working now won't

"In modern relationships, men just want to work and come home to a cooked meal and clean house" This is a sexist take. It is not universally true, and a like-for-like retort would be considered sexist.

I mostly agree, except the pariah state part. Russia is hedging that the "pariah state" label will wear off pretty quickly. The current US government has as recently as March floated the idea of normalising business ties, and cons

by sjw987 1y ago
This seems a bit of a stretch of a claim to make. In what ways would you say that Russia is a decade behind? I visited Russia a few years ago. Commercially, they have all the same technology we have (for me, in the UK). Like us, they outsou

This is exactly correct. You just have to look at language learning. Some people who move abroad to a different country with a different language can (over a couple of years) forget huge parts of their own native language. The internet bomb

Truthfully most online "content" is not growing your brain. It's not the right format for proper learning and retention. Most people using the internet aren't tapping the fountain of human knowledge, and even most of tho
