Google's Emoji Kitchen feature has me locked in to Gboard unfortunately

With Android and ChromeOS "merging" (for lack of a better term), it should continue to improve assuming Google doesn't kill the Chromebook market.

Doesn't the native Google Digital Wellbeing app support most of this? You can't lock an app behind a PIN, but you can restrict daily usage so when you've used Instagram for 30 minutes it blocks you out of the app. You just need a smidge of discipline to not tap the button to bypass the restriction.

Android Private Space came out a year or so ago that fully locks apps behind a PIN.

Android Work Profile also provides this.

What do you mean by "more properly maintained"? What's wrong with Revanced?

Like you said, benchmarks don't mean anything these days. I'll stop laughing when anyone gets close to Apple's efficiency and single core performance.

Day one patches have been the standard for over a decade, and they are as common on the PC as they are on consoles...

The majority of games from the last 15 years that you install with a disc will require a patch to run. You could keep your pc or console off network and play the original buggy version on the disc if you want....

There's no way Starmer pulls us into this war, given the current political climate in the UK.

The two far-right party leaders called to join the war in Iran as soon as it started - they've both had to backpedal now due to the UK public categorically not supporting the war.

It's given Starmer some much-needed good press. His actions on the world stage have been consistently brilliant and I don't see that stopping yet. He should be able to keep our noses clean during this, but I suspect we'll be hit with the recession regardless.

This is America being America.

In almost every other country in the world, the utilities are built and regulated by the state (or in the UK built by a business to be owned and regulated by the state).

In America your ISP has way more freedom than an ISP in the UK. Freedom to screw over consumers.

I'm not surprised a progressive ISP like Google Fiber failed in "land of the free" capitalist dystopian USA.

They can't elaborate because they haven't used it they're just talking out of their behind.

This community has a huge anti-google sentiment. Every single post here has a comment about de-googling or the sideloading drama that Google has already backed down from.

And, Qualcomm has been catching up to Apple Silicon lately.

Biggest laugh of the weekend for me, thanks.

You've read the headline but not the article, clearly, and you lack the critical thinking skills and life experience to surmise that he at no point called it "drama" and that's just what the website says.

You've just read a headline and posted an agitated, antagonistic comment about the situation without any basis on facts.... You're the drama that the headline is referring to.

I'll simply not use social media that requires my real identity.

It's not like they can regulate them all, and as soon as they try to restrict the more aggregator-y ones like Reddit and Lemmy, other niche ones will pop up.

The government doesn't win this one.
