This is such an incredibly vague question. Ahead of its time in what way? Star Trek was ahead of its time by having interracial kisses. Lost was ahead of its time with big-budget action and large ensemble casts. And Netflix's Dark was ahead, behind, and in-between of its time.

 

Mishaal Rahman (now a Google employee) has made a big Reddit post showcasing all the new Android-related announcements. Hold your nose and pop to Reddit for all the info!

Completely unacceptable!!!! What's that? Farage accepted £5m just before running as MP? No problems there, I'm sure it was all above board...

In fairness to Plex, I bought a Lifetime subscription during a Black Friday deal over a decade ago and it's still serving me well to this day.

I have jellyfin set up ready to go but Plex has the UX down at this point. I'll keep using it whilst my lifetime subscription remains valid.

The Boys final season being an ad for Vought Rising has been quite a disappointment. Kripke even plays defence in this article by claiming Soldier Boy had more feelings for Stormfront than he originally let on in season 3. No, mate, you just didn't know that a few years ago and now you're forcing it into season 5 to try to give depth to the upcoming prequel series.

The enshittification continues.

Suspected cases, not confirmed cases. It could be those two people just got colds, which have similar symptoms. It's better to be safe than sorry, so reporting minor symptoms like that is best practice. It doesn't mean the world is ending. Let's not jump to hysterics just yet.

 

TL;DR

  • The Pixel 11 series will reportedly ship with Samsung’s latest M16 OLED display panel.

  • The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max may also feature the same panel.

  • Assuming release dates follow existing patterns, the Pixel 11 series should be available some weeks before the iPhone 18 series.

Did you forget to switch to your alt?

I knew Lemmy was just the same 12 people having conversations with themselves...

Back in those Gingerbread days, Amazon were basically doing the Epic Games thing where every other week they'd release a paid app or game for free. It was worth tolerating the crappy app store just for that!

I'd be interested to hear how it goes for you.

Gotta get you to scroll past as many ads as possible.

The Android/Pixel Lemmy communities are insanely sour and pessimistic, I've noticed. Every single Android post will have a comment bemoaning the subject, and another comment saying that Google is evil. It's tedious and so much worse than Reddit.

The yanks are still too comfortable to do anything about the blatant fascism rising in their country. Rich right wingers have pulled off the amazing feat of keeping people happy with bread and circuses and convincing them to look at the evil foreigners whilst they're robbed blind. It's happening in other democracies as well.

I fear the US is just the beginning. The EU is growing more right wing and the UK is looking at giving Nigel Farage total power in 3 years time. Forecast does not look too good.

Looks like the designs of the Pixel 10 series has leaked. Pretty much identical to the Pixel 9 series, unsurprisingly.

The latest version of Android 15 on the Pixel devices lets you enable an experimental Terminal app and Debian VM. What are the fun use-cases of this, that you can think of? Let's assume the finalised version of this feature will include the ability for sound drivers and proper port mapping/forwarding.

  • Running web servers off your phone might become feasible
  • Basic light development work
  • Use to easily SSH to other clients if needed
  • Already proven it can run DOOM

There's bound to be many more use-cases as this feature expands, and especially when Android replaces ChromeOS in the future.

 

I'm not in the beta, and this is what my WhatsApp looks like now. This might be old news, but until today I had the green UI.

(Sorry for the crappy censor job. I wish Android had a blur feature built-in)
