I love it, performance is good, battery is awesome, build quality is pretty good and I’m happy with the stock OS, back in the day I used to unlock the bootloader and root as soon as I get the phone, but with the software support this phone is going to have and the features it has, I hardly see any reason to root.

I bought a second hand pixel 6a a couple weeks ago, my previous phone was the OnePlus 3, lasted me 5 years and at the time of purchase it was already a two years old second hand, bought them for basically the same price, 200€.

Not the same person but I’m using Nova on my pixel, for starters icon pack support is a must to me, and then Nova lets me tweak things on a granular level, so I end up with much cleaner looking launcher, no search bar, no scrolling bar, customizable background color, text color etc and that’s just a few advantages it offers.

Hah I like this kind of environment, there’s something peaceful about deserts.

Got my pixel 6a just a couple weeks ago so this is kind of a work in progress heh, nova launcher and Simplit icon pack.

The Exynos variants of Samsung devices can have their bootloader unlocked, it’s the snapdragon ones that can’t and even then there are some instances where it was possible to do it, but it’s still a hassle and the Exynos variants tend not to have good development support.

This is awful, to think that all this legacy would go to waste someday, I can’t fathom having all these unique experiences, all these stories and love letters to genres and cultures getting lost in the vortex of time.

I feel sad for the people that are just getting into gaming and them not experiencing games that made history, the good and the bad.

Something like this should be preserved even if just for study purposes, for those games before the digital era, the only options that are left for us are either piracy or emulation, and thankfully we do have these options but yeah we really should have future proofed this industry in some way.

Yeah no, I’ll keep using it, you’d be surprised how many people can’t pick up on sarcasm.

Hey we can see who upvotes and downvotes here, everything works out in the end !

Glad to see the app being reincarnated for lemmy, I tweaked Boost to be exactly the way I like it, I was pretty disappointed knowing I would never have the same experience again.

I noticed I couldn’t see tweets my friend would send me without creating an account, guess I won’t be seeing any more tweets.
