Interesting proposal. As a Canadian, I’d rather see smoking banned from apartment balconies and near buildings - since it can come right into peoples’ units.
It can also depend on the time of day if browsing All or which communities you’re in. Lemmy does have a lot of folks who were banned from various subreddits, but they’re a minority.
Definitely great to hear. It’s too bad they’re not bringing new pixel software features to older devices though. It’d be a great way to differentiate their lineup from the iPhone.
I haven’t heard anything on that. It’s really such an odd omission to not support USB-C Alt mode. It renders the Pixel devices incompatible with AR glasses.
Ditto. I’d rather pay once for the functionality when buying the device. I wouldn’t even mind another one-time payment to unlock new functionality later - but a subscription? No thanks.
Update: There’s actually a tweet up on !googlepixel suggesting the hardware supports it but it’s disabled in software. Should be able to enable if rooted.
Spotify seems to already have audiobooks available for sale when I login from Canada. I suspect the free listening is intended to drive people toward their audiobook store.
The GitHub seems to only be for a downloader app that distributes unverified APKs that don’t currently do anything. Removing this thread as a precaution - particularly given recent news of malicious modded APKs.
