Please, please bring back wireless charging. I hate my Pixel 7 pro so much and want to go back to OP, but I can't use a phone without wireless charging.

I'm in the same boat. Just finished Starter Villain and it just doesn't feel like the same level of writing. It's not bad - just instantly forgettable.

I don't experience that hostility tbh. Maybe because I'm not a teenager? People I know are split about 50/50.

I'm also in hcol area in USA so iphone isn't really a status symbol. Everyone can afford an iPhone, they just treat phones as tools so they get whatever works best for them.

I'd love to find out which group they actually tried to target, but if you're right - I completely agree. No way I'm handing credentials to my Google account over. That's why normal companies have APIs.

RCS might not be perfect, but at least it's open.

I really hope EU will continue the trend of forcing Apple to become less of a piece of shit company.

I think very few Android users are actively part of Apple ecosystem. These are just blank accounts they create to show up in a different color on ios messages. I can give you my apple password. I created it when I was briefly issued a Mac at work 10 years ago and never used it since.

GOS cuts out the few reasons to even use pixel like call screening and Google camera. I hate Google as much as the next guy, but giving them money and then severely disabling your phone to avoid their services makes no sense to me.

Not many Android options out there. Basically just pixel or oneplus. Oneplus is dead to me until they bring back wireless charging and pixel is a trash phone with endless bugs and garbage battery life. Samsung ruined excellent hardware with garbage software with ads and bloat ware.

So anyway, if OP bring wireless charging back in next generation, I'll tolerate a few non removable apps to use a phone that actually lasts all day and has working Bluetooth.

Isn't chewing it half the fun of boba?

Not really. Like I said in a comment above, if they treat magic as advanced tech to be explored - sci fi. If it's treated as a given - fantasy.

[–] daqqad@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Lots of great horror sci fi, but definitely different genres.

Approach is different. If they treat magic as given without trying to understand it - fantasy. If they treat it as advanced tech - sci fi.

To be fair the first book is so much better than the rest that I think it should be a movie, not a show.
