I miss ten years ago, when Googlers jumped out of a plane whilst in a Google Glass video call and landed straight into IO. Yeah it was a gimmick, but it got us all talking.

I miss when Android was less mature and had a lot of catching up to do, and IO was the delivery of all the exciting enhancements coming to Android.

It’s hard to get excited when the biggest announcements this year will be… “We made our AI better, buy our phone and you’ll be able to use it”.

Pirate Guitar Pro, install it, and download the GP files from Ultimate Guitar. Easy.

Google Fit dev APIs shutdown set for June 2025 (9to5google.com)

Google’s migration guide for developers lists what they’re supposed to switch to on Android phones and Wear OS. However, there is no replacement for the Goals API that lets Google Fit users set “how many steps and heart points they want to aim for each day.”

Kinda sick of this meme. It’s not dead, it was replaced by Health Connect.

Google Fit was the ‘hub’ for fitness-related data for all apps. Developers could link their app to Fit so users had one place for all their health data.

Android took over Fit’s role and called it Health Connect, which is now out of beta. Health Connect is the API that developers now use to store their data in one centralised location on the user’s device.

If anything, this is just a logical next step. Should Google have just started with Health Connect? Obviously. but I think it works better as an Android service and not a Google one.

Google Fit is sticking around (for now), as a user app for tracking fitness. It uses Health Connect API to store data, and now other developers need to use Health Connect instead of the Fit API.

biscuit OP ,

Not for me :)

I take it you weren’t around for the Nexus 7 (first edition)?

biscuit ,

It’s not that serious bro

biscuit ,

That isn’t new, that’s how ad networks work. Google owns one of the largest ad networks.

biscuit ,

That’s ok.

I use revanced for YouTube on my Android phone.

I use Smarttube Next for YouTube on my Android TV.

It works wonderfully.

biscuit ,

Which phone do you have? I’ve been able to disable that “swipe left to access Google” thing on every Google Pixel I’ve ever owned. Just long-press your home screen and go to home settings and disable it.

biscuit ,

It’s important to me - I don’t use phone cases.

biscuit ,

This never made it to outside the US, what exactly was it? (the linked help page doesn’t actually say)

biscuit ,

Useless? Really?

biscuit ,

Which app are you using to remap remote buttons?

biscuit ,

Both of these apps were sold to dodgy third parties who make their revenue through ads.

biscuit ,

You’re talking about the Pixel Launcher widget, which isn’t removable (you can disable it but you don’t get the space back).

This article is about the widget that non-Pixel phones can install, which will behave more like a standard widget as it can work on any launcher or device.

biscuit ,

Easily done.

X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, has threatened to sue a group of independent researchers whose research documented an increase in hate speech on the site since it was purchased (apnews.com)

Twitter is threatening legal action against the Center for Countering Digital Hate, a nonprofit that researches hate speech and content moderation on social media platforms....

He literally defended himself bowing to government censorship a few months ago. Keep up.

Are you allergic to punctuation?

Nothing beats Google Photos for me, personally.

So I bought a used Google Pixel 1 (first gen) and use Syncthing to sync my camera roll from my phone to the Pixel 1.

Google originally advertised the Pixel 1 as having unlimited cloud storage for life, so they have to stick to it. I don’t pay for Google storage but I’ve got at least 500gb stored in Google Photos (including all my RAW photos and my digitised VHS tapes).

I’ll abuse this system until the Pixel 1 dies and I can’t get another one, then I’ll cry.

Phones should have 2 USB C ports

One should be at the bottom one at the top. I understand space on the phone is a premium but a second port would make the phone so much more usable. Wired headphones, flash drives, camera modules, speaker modules, keyboards, even connection to a TV, all could be used while charging. It’s a shame it’s not a thing, USB is...

biscuit ,

The two-stage shutter button from Sony cameras and phones is something I miss dearly.

biscuit ,

I disagree. Have you ever been to a real 70mm IMAX screening? I don’t mean your typical “IMAX”. There’s only a handful in the whole world.

The quality is gorgeous, and the screens are huge. You also get significantly more of the frame than you will in traditional cinema and on bluray releases.

Don’t call it unnecessary until you’ve actually seen it. Digital IMAX isn’t close yet.

My wife keeps telling me she’s feeling unsupported.

biscuit ,

Unstable commitment is Google’s whole schtick.

biscuit ,

I just do i2, i3, etc

biscuit ,

Can’t we have an androidmemes sub instead? I don’t particularly want memes on android at all.

biscuit ,

Oh I’d love to see exactly how you got banned. Chances are it was for a tad more than just “having a negative opinion about Samsung”.

biscuit ,

So nothing to do with you “having an opinion about Samsung”, that was clear bullshit. How about you edit that comment and stop spreading bullshit?

biscuit ,

I wonder if this will result in any significant changes to how Google designs or markets their devices?

biscuit ,

The two servers in the UK are a furry server and a Scotland server…

I made my Pixel 3 last for 4 years before getting a Pixel 7 this year.

So if things go as smoothly with the Pixel 7, I’ll be upgrading to the Pixel 11 with Google’s revised fully-custom chip.

biscuit ,

I’m using Connect on Android right now, it seems to be the cleanest one available?

As a Sync user, I absolutely cannot wait for the Sync for Lemmy client. I love the Material You UI!
