Statick

Hasn’t had a release since 2023 🫤

I mean everyone has anecdotal evidence to “prove” their point… I have a Pixel 7a that still lasts 2 days and I’ve dropped it a million times and the screen hasn’t cracked. It’s also 2+ years old.

Yeah but he’s doing it out of spite since the whole point of Android is freedom to do what you want. Take that away… Might as well go apple.

I’ve loved Armored Core since I was a kid. I was disappointed with AC5 but absolutely LOVED AC6. It’s one of the only game I’ve 100% on Steam.

Did you mean NewPipe? Pipewire is the Linux audio/video framework.

If you’re tech savvy, look into selfhosting SearXNG.

I think there are public instances as well.

I used to only do something called “surfing” in the Counter-Strike: Source days.

There are dedicated servers that only run surf maps.

How far along is this? Last time I checked it out is was no where near ready.

I’ve tried a ton, and DeltaChat came close, but there is no edit option for messages, since under the hood, it uses email. The apps on both iPhone and Android also had issues with notifications. I convinced a few family members and friends to use it and then had to convince them again to move to Signal. Lost a few of them in the process.

The point of my story is to say… If you think you’ll have a hard time convincing people to get off WhatsApp/Texting, just go to Signal. It is much more mainstream and at least it isn’t Facebook.

You need to sign up and wait for a beta invite. Took 15-30 days for me to get in. It’s not ready for primetime.

Tech-savvy content creators, sure…

Your average content creator that wants to make Minecraft videos? Unrealistic.

I hate the monopoly Youtube has, but all of the federated alternatives have a learning curve the general public isn’t willing to deal with.

That is the clearest I’ve ever seen the surprised Pikachu image.
