I love it, performance is good, battery is awesome, build quality is pretty good and I'm happy with the stock OS, back in the day I used to unlock the bootloader and root as soon as I get the phone, but with the software support this phone is going to have and the features it has, I hardly see any reason to root.

Pixel 6a user here, the fingerprint reader works 9/10 for me, only rarely refuses to unlock because of a misalignment or something, wondering how people who complain about it actually use it.

My OP3 was dying and I needed a new poo phone, I can't afford buying things whenever I want so that's extra incentive to hold on to my devices, so after 5 years of use (the OP3 was second hand) I finally got the opportunity to switch phones and I got the pixel 6a (second hand as well)

Honestly I love it, it's basically the same size and almost the same dimensions as my previous phone but with a bigger screen, the OS has some very cool and intuitive options here and there, the camera is better back and front, the battery is great for my use case, I appreciate having a new phone again that will still have decent software support.

And all of this for around 200€, the same price I got my OP3 5 years ago, I'm really glad I could find such a good phone for this price.

I used to mod a lot back in the day, installing custom roms, custom kernels, all kinds of apps, but that changed and I just use a DNS and ublock on Firefox, I'm not even planning to unlock the bootloader and root this one, I'm happy with stock, it has everything I need at this point in life.

Not the same person but I'm using Nova on my pixel, for starters icon pack support is a must to me, and then Nova lets me tweak things on a granular level, so I end up with much cleaner looking launcher, no search bar, no scrolling bar, customizable background color, text color etc and that's just a few advantages it offers.

Hah I like this kind of environment, there's something peaceful about deserts.

Playing The Fractured But Whole for almost a month now, it's a pretty enjoyable experience and it feels just like playing an episode of the show, liking it a lot so far.

Thank you, there's a link in there that seems pretty solid so far.

I do use ygg when I need to download something, but I'm talking about streaming here, just watching without having to download.

Thanks though, I appreciate the help.

This is awful, to think that all this legacy would go to waste someday, I can't fathom having all these unique experiences, all these stories and love letters to genres and cultures getting lost in the vortex of time.

I feel sad for the people that are just getting into gaming and them not experiencing games that made history, the good and the bad.

Something like this should be preserved even if just for study purposes, for those games before the digital era, the only options that are left for us are either piracy or emulation, and thankfully we do have these options but yeah we really should have future proofed this industry in some way.

Hey we can see who upvotes and downvotes here, everything works out in the end !

I've put around 240+ hours into TOTK but not because I am a completionist or anything, it's mostly because I don't like using fast travel and I enjoy traveling the world, finding secrets or hidden locations.

But I have to admit that I overdid it, towards the end I felt a little burned out due to this.

Glad to see the app being reincarnated for lemmy, I tweaked Boost to be exactly the way I like it, I was pretty disappointed knowing I would never have the same experience again.
