That’s my assumption as well. Man in a suit checks out the machine? Bump it up. Couple checks out? Bump it up.

It really does offer a lot for the very low price of 1000€, astonishing.

I’m worried that after years of layoffs, they have become a custom. It feels like companies were deliberating laying off people for longer before that, avoiding bad news. Nowadays, ‘everyone’ is doing it. And nothing prevents them from over hiring and firing in large amounts over and over again.

Couldn’t agree more. I went from a Google fan boy to a Google skeptic during his reign.

Yep, same thing for ClickUp, a competitor. Pretty much the only thing they talk about and seem to work on is AI, which comes at a high price and does not really add much benefit.

That’s interesting to see this steady decline way before the most controversial changes.

I had been on reddit since 2013. Didn’t look back since they took away the API.

Or simply that prices have become insane. Good phones used to be around 400, taking me a few days to think about it and say yes. Now they are beyond 1000, so I will do my best to avoid having to upgrade and go with custom ROMs again. In the meanwhile, we also lost exchangeable batteries, external SD cards, and microphone jack, and we gained more Google spyware and bloat.

For Search I use Duckduckgo (free).

For Mail, Calendar and Contacts I use Fastmail (free or paid, I use the paid version).

For file storage there’s plenty of alternatives (Dropbox etc.)

For browser I use Edge, but it is also built on Chromium. I will make my choice once the recent Web Environment Integrity topic has become more clear.

Yeah. Fully replaced reddit for me, besides some old content via Google.

Ha, that brings back memories! Had a few of those. Amazing they are still in use.

Thanks for that, looks pretty nice. Though I’m concerned now trading Google might block your account for using it.

Is it? Why would it need access to my purchase history? Is this for supporting in-app purchases?

Too bad as I just found it a week ago, but totally understandable.

God damnit. I though Samsung got better.

Yes, makes sense. I didn’t fully realize how they rolled it out.

Fastmail is king.

Hhaa, what do you post about?

What are usual numbers on Facebook and Instagram? These numbers sound extremely high. Is the app being heavily talked about in your circles?

Replies count as well? This is insane.
