Because as shitty as pixel phones are, they are still better than the rest of android phones.

I don’t understand how could you pay such a vast amount of money for a phone that is not even subpar… it is unusable by your own testimony. Not trying to be snarky or anything, but why didn’t you return it?
It sounds like something fancy but it’s common where I live. It’s usually hot all year round so it made sense to buy an air conditioner with a heat pump built in. Although it’s been a few years since we last turned it in because it’s never cold enough to justify the electricity usage given the always high prices here in Europe. So perhaps it doesn’t even work anymore :P

I know not to barge into buildings to steal stuff that doesn’t belong to me and that I know nothing about.
Oneplus is a good brand since when? They are a Chinese manufacturer like many others.
It hasn’t received updates, not even security updates, for years. It’s unacceptable for me to use a phone that doesn’t have security updates. On the other hand the other day Apple released a security update for the iPhone 5s, released in 2013.
They didn’t have to.

That’s false, you can download a copy of your own data from settings.

If everybody accesses Instagram from bibliogram, bypassing ads and data collection techniques, who’s going to pay for the service? I know that your answer will be “so close it”, but that’s hardly what the users of the platform want.
Instagram has a monopoly on what exactly

Unlike in Europe. Oh wait.

They know very well what they are doing: they don’t want you using any personal transportation. You’re laughing your way to the grave.

Ah, those damn Enron traders!!!
You are trying to shut down discourse with the same age-old excuse.

You conveniently omitted all folders with gitignore files.

I tried to find where the implementation in your code is but there are like a thousand files spread over a hundred folders.
Any infrastructure that doesn’t make cyclists fall into a giant meat grinder is wholly inadequate.

Maybe you should elect better politicians.
Apple can’t run Windows programs and games reliably so they are not a contender.
People who think that the COVID measures were repressive wish for an authoritarian government? Get your propaganda right.

What PC games do not have serious botting or cheating problems? We need better kernel mode attestation systems.

“a Hallmark movie by it’s bright, fluffy, pastel look”

Argh… editor… where’s the bloody editor!!!

I agree. The iPhone is indeed not perfect, but Android makes me grow white hair. (I don’t use the news app though. Can’t say anything about it. If they start putting ads around the system I will think of alternatives.)
It doesn’t suck.

That’s basically the reason me and every iPhone owner I know buy one.
