I think for consumers it doesn’t matter the reason. A bad experience is still a bad experience, and that’s something I found the Apple appstore to be, so avoid it most of the time.

iOS is also filled with apps that have ads and subscriptions. Having something like F-droid for Foss apps without the nonsense is nice if you need something like a simple pdf reader or even a calculator. IPad has no calculator for example and there’s so much crap you have to shift through to find a simple calculator that doesn’t have ads or subscriptions.

Accessing chats in big picture mode seems worse than how it worked in old big picture mode. Usually if you are in big picture mode it is because you are using a controller, and with the new one it is hard to navigate chats with the controller so I end up using a mouse.

Also, would be nice to have an option to display the entire text of a comment in pop ups, since it often cuts off and I have to entire toggle to overlay , alt tab, or look at the terrible steam chat mobile app. Apps needs work for basic messaging with it not refreshing to show the most recent chat consistently so having to exit and reopen.

I have a S23U and edge panels to open up new apps and one hand operation + to make gestures from the edges helps me navigate with one hand.

I’m jealous of the tildes app since I loved reddit is fun.

Yeah, people are aware now so can make decisions on their own and decide their own risk tolerance.

One thing I find funny though is how people think I don’t care if X country has my info it’s my home country Y I’m more worried about. But, their country Y is probably hacking country X and retrieving all their info from there with possibly less red flags to get through. So it really comes down to what people choose to share and use than a certain countries publicized spying policies.

It would help if there was unique animations each time, but it’s the same exact movement that makes it get tiresome.

I got a zero weight mod so I wouldn’t need to bother with inventory management.

Games that give you rapid and fun ways to travel have been ones that I’ve actually not found tedious to get from point a to point b. Methods I’ve like have been blink (teleporting short distances), grapple hook, super speed, flying, etc.

But, just old fashioned running or driving gets stale fast.

Samsung handles it well since it lets you hide the cut out on a per app basis, and doesn’t push down the status bar either. Just blacks it out while keeping all the time and notifications still there.

So watching 21:9 with that option makes it so the notch doesn’t become part of the video.

But, Oneplus 7 pro handled it the best with the pop up camera.

I’ve been thinking about getting an apple watch just for Apple pay and a cheap iPhone to set it up, since you can use the Apple watch to pay without internet or the iPhone after set up. Then I could root and stuff on my phone without having to rely on safety net anymore for wallets.

Samsung handles it nice where you can hide the cutout on a per app basis, and doing so doesn’t move the status bar down but keeps it where it is. With the amoled display it looks like a normal status bar with the notch or pinhole camera not being obvious.

I’m not sure why some phones don’t give that option, since if you do they shift down the status bar below the notch instead of just turning it black. Such a simple software solution.

I meant phones when I mentioned volume and power button.

I’d rather have that return than have a foldable.

Screen scanners seem much more sensitive to dry and callused fingers than dedicated finger print scanners of old. Some can’t even use it because their skin texture isn’t picking it up well, or have to do things like lick their finger before using which is gross. I miss the power button scanners or rear ones.

Depends one what function. Volume and power on a phone I find better than touch controls, since I can control it without looking. And do things like hold the power button to turn of flash light or double tap power button to bring up camera. No need for screen to have been on.

For more complicated UI then touchscreen is better with it being more dynamic like selecting songs.

Going to be nice not have baby the phone so much and do stuff like limiting it to 85%. And then having to go to a phone store to replace the battery because taking it apart can break the screen. And the cost making you rethink replacing the battery and just going for a newer phone.

It seems right up my ally to me like with Kena, but that game was 20 compared to 60.

Waiting for a lower price point. I have enough games.

I hope moving communities and accounts from different instances becomes possible. I would like to see communities start moving away congregating on the largest instance, and instead maybe start joining instances based on topic. So all music related instances whether it be specific genres or bands go to a music instance. And tv show ones go to an entertainment instance. So everything just kind of becomes categorized into something easier follow and find when it comes to looking for new communities.
