Haha, the kicker is that it’s pure greed. With their prices they don’t need it and could improve it with what the community wants, but $$$, hey… been away for nearly 2 years now, thought of tipping my toes in again but with that they can f… right off.

Enshittification by bloating with useless stuff. Not what people want but what they’re forced (or blackmailed) into - all for G glorification and money grabbing. Look at Nova (launcher): one time affordable fee and stuff to make your phone useful (handling and aesthetics) you can have an as minimalist or as fancy environment as you want. Just read they’re (Google) are going to use AI now in YouTube to give you ads when you’re most focused on something - it’s unethical imho and also shows how stupid advertisers are because I for one wouldn’t only be peeved with Google but boycott the product or/and advertiser.

Haha, after they sell the five planeloads they shipped from China?

Yep, I like Nova too.

Yawn, more enshittification, is that really what people want? Seriously thinking about a degoogled phone or even free of it.

I think it shouldn’t be a competition but possibly something with added value. Possibly in the form of structure, ie something that doesn’t create hundreds of same/similar questions but constantly updates the best answers closest to the existing date. (Alphabetically searchable hashtags, etc…, build it communally, ie #NoStupidQuestions , how to best build a free information platform?).

Yes, name and shame the suckers already in the headline so they get what they deserve! VPN SECURE , yeah, right.

They know what’s coming and That’s going to make America grate again.

Well what to expect when a big number is just overpriced badly functioning stuff that has way better counterparts on FOSS?

Daylight robbery… Who’s still this mentally deprived to get another subscription based anything?
