If Google's not the final say in driver QA then I think it's fantastic. But, the last phone that I've rooted was an S5. I don't know what's up today.
Samsung does indeed have a bunch of bloat. I think we've both made well-informed and reasoned choices, picked our poison. We likely share core ideology because we both would like to choose a fairphone.
My wife and I'd Pixels were rock solid until one day a Google update came along and killed them with an unrecoverable loss of critical functionality. The only way I'd recommend one of these is if one heavily values having the newest thing for cheap, or for the wide angle camera.
That's not a question. Your loss.
Coincidentally, that's the almost exactly the longest life we had in our family. Then, one day my wife performed an update which immediately killed the screen. My Pixel failure was far more frustrating: After a system update I learned that if the screen wasn't clean enough on post-update reboot, Google disabled multi-touch forever.
Consider that an S23 FE (one model behind the flagship and with lesser CPU) is 70-75% the cost of a Pixel 9. The only differences that most users would notice is: The Samsung has a telephoto and Google an ultrawide; The Samsung won't unexpectedly die due to a software issue.
All strawman.
The shopping mall is not legally obligated to eject the Nazi.
But, you think government should force action upon the private entity because the majority disagrees with Nazis.
That's exactly the opposite of why the 1st Amendment exists. Everyone else learned this when they studied why someone can burn the flag or why the ACLU supports Satanists.
I've no want for your nonsense. And, you do a disservice to others by repeating it. Go learn about quasi public spaces.
You keep explaining the letter of the law, poorly, to someone that understands both the law and justice system much better than yourself.
That's not the definition of the word public in this context.
There you go again with the letter over the spirit. You'd have us replace judges with computers.
and do Nazi salutes in a shopping mall and sue them when security throws you out and you'll understand the difference.
They mall doesn't have to tresspass a person that's doing Nazi salutes. If you'd the faintest concept of the ideology of justice as implemented in the US you'd understand the difference.
AI data analyst here. The above is an excellent extension of the analogy.
Now, imagine another monkey controlling how the size of the keys vary. There might even be another monkey controlling that one.
The analogy doesn't seem to break until we start talking about the assumptions humans make for efficiency.
Fucking capitalists will enshitify this also.
