There was a time when the Google apps just worked, the applications were optimised for UX. Maybe I’ve just only noticed it now but the directions (and assistant in general) aren’t as useful, reliable, and filled with sponsored stuff.

what do you use for navigation and how does it compare?

An absolute plesant watch! I thought it was going to be a slow learning but I was surprised by how fast paced the first 10 minutes were. It instead focuses on visuals and motherhood funnily enough. One could nitpick issues here and there but at the end of the day, it’s was delightful time :)

I don’t really have a stake in this race because it’s quite a dilemma (personally I like the idea of Graphene supporting more devices with varying security promises) but I’d imagine between buying a 2nd hand Pixel or exclusively using Google services, Google would rather people do the latter.

They simply make more out of data gathering and GrapheneOS sidessteps that, so as a user I’m leaning towards the former so I can more readily degoogle myself.

Spiritually, I’m with you brother but Veronica is clearly a brunette here. I appreciate sticking with aesthetics even if I disagree.

especially with a vague and borderline clickbait title. To prove a point, I’m going to watch it at some point and I can almost guarantee i can either summarise it or provide a synopsis.

only real gamers could use this all day and forget to use it once.

in some cities such as LA, i found it safest to simply drive at the same speed as everyone else. obviously adjust for merging, passenger lanes etc but on those roads being the slowest can actually a danger to yourself and others.

glad i don’t need to do this any more in my current city, just two cents

Might just be me but I think this looks cool/cute af especially with the little plush

Great visual on how sparsely populated Australia is.
