I mean, that sucks, but it's not like things are going to get better once you're outside of the conditions mentioned

Wait, are photo passes really happening this time? Google has made a couple of blog posts announcing the feature, but I've been regularly checking for the last several months and haven't seen it. It was a nice feature of the original Google Wallet that was removed in one of the rebrands, I'd really like it to actually be back instead of just "coming soon" (not that soon)

And then a whole bunch of them will turn around and vote for anti-LGBTQ+ Republicans because "They're for the economy" (please ignore how the economy actually performs under Republican control)

Hasn't Android had a thing for a while where it gives update priority to people who manually check for updates? Like, my phone (7a) didn't say an update was available, but then I clicked the "Check for update" button, and now it said Android 14 is available.

So I don't think anyone who really wants the update soon needs to sideload the OTA, just check for an update and you'll probably get it.

Clearly he's just a hater now

The thing about the "free speech" warriors was, it was never about free speech. If it was, they would respect platforms' right to not host speech the don't care for. No, what all the "free speech" warriors really wanted was "you have to listen to me". Now, between this, and promoting blue checks to the top of everyone's replies, any moderately famous left-of-center person is going to have the top of their replies populated by Elon fanboys spouting right-wing talking points and demanding a debate, whether anyone wants them there or not. Elon will love it, welcome to hell.

Because the Trump cult got emboldened after Trump won in 2016, and it quickly became clear that any Republican that wasn't sufficiently "unggh, Daddy Trump, destroy me harder" would get primaried by someone that was. Kiss the ring or be excommunicated.

It's hard to feel sympathetic for them about it though, the spent the previous 20+ years paying lip service to types of people who make up the Trump cult because they were convenient for winning elections. They just never expected those people would do anything besides vote in the most respectable business-friendly Republican. Leopards, faces, yadda yadda yadda.

Existing beta users, what say you? Have the latest betas been stable enough to install on my daily driver? Are there a lot of useful advantages over Android 13? If I've waited this long to install the beta, should I just stay on 13 until the official release?

I think the point is to make sure everyone else aware that Brexit failed, in case any other country starts thinking about copying it

Now go back and watch it again just to see how many details and clues your missed the first time.

Yeah, but moderating a massive platform would make infinite growth very difficult, and the shareholders demand infinite growth. Won't someone think of the shareholders?

I feel like they were some of the leaders - they’ve been making their product worse while charging more to use it for years
