Hey, I've been really careful with my words to NOT say that. I was just wondering and I acknowledge that it might be nonsense.

In case anyone is curious (like I was) what the "gold foil wrap" actually is, here you go:
Multi-layer Insulation, or simply MLI, is a type of high-performance insulator that uses multiple radiation-heat transfer barriers to restrict the flow of (heat) energy. In simple terms, it’s a form of thermal insulation made of multiple layers of thin sheets that is used to cover spacecraft and other space equipment in order to reduce heat loss by way of thermal radiation.
This is really interesting and I would probably never read it if not for this post. Thanks!
US has a huge influence on the entire world. Could it be that it started (or got amplified) in the US due to poor healthcare and then spread out to the rest of the world? I'm not trying to put all the blame on US of course, but it doesn't sound that unreasonable that it could be partially responsible.
I used Samsung until about a year ago and now use Pixel since that time. Pixel software experience is infinitely better for my tastes and needs.
It sounds like you're describing alcohol, definitely not shrooms.
I don't have any answers unfortunately. It looks like the implementation is just half-assed because making it good isn't actually in Google's interest.
If you install one of the supported apps (e.g. Ecosia) it appears as an option in the menu. I didn't find a way to use FF yet.
Yeah, I'm using Niagara currently. Here are my thoughts about Lawnchair: https://lemmy.ml/comment/10231968
You've hit the nail on the head - they are forced to do it by the EU.
Thanks!
Yup, it's part of the home screen and can't be disabled or replaced. Until today it could only search Google so it's a big step in the right direction anyway.
I know it and I tested it but there are some problems:
-
It's not as smooth as Pixel launcher. In fact, no other launcher is. AFAIK at least a part of that smoothness (particularly switching to multitasking view) is impossible to achieve for non-system apps. I'm very happy using Niagara right now but if not for this search situation I would consider switching to Pixel launcher just for this smoothness. Niagara is amazing but I miss normal widgets.
-
DDG doesn't work correctly in Lawnchair either. It opens up the DDG webpage when you tap the search bar. What I want is to let me enter the phrase in the bar and only after I submit open the webpage with search results.
-
Pixel Search looks like a very cool app which would be even better search provider in Lawnchair, but currently it's not really working as well. Instead of opening the Pixel Search app, it opens the app page in the Play Store, even though I have it installed.
If you don't care about the smoothness, Lawnchair is probably the best option though. The two issues I mentioned probably will be fixed eventually, I'm even considering trying to fix that myself.
But Nothing Phone isn't a Pixel, is it? Yeah, I think it's probably closer to the Pixel's clean software experience than Samsung's bloated one, but still, this doesn't seem to be fair comparison.
