    I’m still on 11 for this exact reason I keep getting the popup every so often on my pixel and I’m like “nah you can get fucked”

    It’s like they think everyone has the eyes of a 70 year old and everything needs to be massive. So much wasted screen space. Like hey here’s a high resolution 120hz screen with everything scaled up 400 percent. It just stinks of useless, clueless, talentless design employees looking for a promotion, desperate to change stuff that doesn’t need changed - I mean look at that ugly shit they clearly aren’t even fucking good at design.

    It sounds dumb but it fucking infuriates me because I use and rely on my device for so much now I don’t understand why I get zero choice in how it looks and how I interact with it.

    You used to be able to flash mods and change up elements, colours, themes and add UI tweaks and now we have nothing but what they give you.

    They’re a fucking cunt of a company and the only other options are limited and just as shit and locked down.

    The early days of custom android roms showed the power and creativity of community development and it sucks this is what we have now.

    The mobile space desperately needs a new OS more than ever or we’re fucked forever.

    I get that Pinephone is trying and it’s massively expensive to get good hardware to market but a 1.1ghz A64 processor and 3GB ram, 720 screen and 5mp camera is technology from more than a decade ago and isn’t enticing in the slightest. They’re pissing away time, talent and money and will never grow at the rate they need to if they want to get into the market in any way that makes a dent if this is their best offering.
