Lemmy is neither popular nor heavily advertised, so people join at a slow rate

On the other hand, the amount political discussions, Hexbear, and lack of content result in disinterested people leaving Lemmy and joining Reddit

Fira Code, but I haven't used anything else with ligatures

I don't approve of the decisions made by Google, but that doesn't affect how much I use their services.

However, I am unhappy about the fact that the Google Play Services app is required by their apps, since it constantly runs in the background eating battery, consuming RAM, causing lag spikes and wasting mobile data. For this reason, I use MicroG when possible.

I don't like the fact that some Google apps (e.g. Chrome) on my phone are not uninstallable, but that's the OEM's fault (Samsung in my case). Luckily it's possible to remove these using ADB (without root).

I don't like how they want to make it harder to root your own device.

At no point did the FBI use NSO spyware. Riva Networks did.
