I’ve been an AT&T customer for years, mostly out of necessity. They just offer the best all around service for my needs.I tried switching to T-Mo, but they have a lot of dead spots (especially along interstates) and has weaker signal strength in most buildings than AT&T. And I just refuse to use Verizon, but they’re in a similar situation.

Yeah, I know, but it just seemed weird to include \ when / seems to be more widely used? Or maybe it’s just me lol.

Okay, makes sense. Maybe they’ll reintroduce it with RCS once it’s more widely adopted.

I’m the same way regarding quirks. I’ve been using Gboard and for a while bounced between that and Samsung Keyboard. Gboard has the best overall usability for me but a couple things I’m not a fan of: Gboard deleting clipboard history (only from Gboard as it’s still available elsewhere), and including \ as a long press symbol rather than /,where you have to tsp the symbols key and then tap /.

Samsung Keyboard has a few quirks as well, but the biggest was predictive text isn’t as good as Gboard. But I like the customization of it. But I can’t see the symbols on the keys as well as I can on Gboard.

I was a fan of Chroma Keyboard years ago because I liked that it would change color based on the app.

I never looked into why the removed it. Is SMS a securi risk? Maybe they’ll bring it back with RCS.

I’ve been using Brave for a few years now on my desktop and after reading the threads lately about it, I’d like to switch. I don’t seem to have the issues other users have, but I don’t want to use it based on the CEO’s views on some things.

I’ve always had Firefox installed with uBlock Origin and I use it occasionally. One of the things Chromium based browsers have is built-in tab grouping. I know there are extensions and I’ve only tried Simple Tab Groups but it didn’t behave how I was expecting it to behave, which is like how Chromium handles it.

So far that’s the only thing I’ve noticed.

Samsung S23 Ultra. Been using Samsung phones the past few years, since the S10 Ultra, and I’ve enjoyed using them. One UI isn’t the bloated garbage it used to be, and Samsung has added some nice tweaks and features. Also, the Good Lock tweaks are fantastic and I’m surprised some just aren’t baked into One UI. Battery life has been stellar too.

The weight is probably the thing I don’t like most. Makes a difficult to use one-handed sometimes.

I got a Synology years ago hoping to do this, but I didn’t do enough research and the model I got couldn’t quite decide and stream very well. I ended up just using it for backup and using my PC as a Plex server for a while. I eventually got an Nvidia Shield and just plugged in a large SSD to it and that works well.

I agree, I was a Stadia user as well. I had some nitpicks with it but it was a solid platform and I played several games on it.

It was hilarious when the Stadia head tweeted that it wasn’t going anywhere and then a month later it was announced that it’s being shut down lol

What kind of apps are you all using that aren’t on Google Play or Fdroid?

I think some apps allow blocking communities and entire instances. I know Connect does and it gives you a message saying that it was blocked but gives you a button that lets you view the message anyway.
