A shit camera, but it was also the first Nexus phone with a passable camera 😵‍💫

They really did genuinely work with Apple to create a system that could track contact while also not making it really possible to track individuals.

that is chat not Chat (proper noun)

see it’s dumb

It tells you at the bottom what backend you’re using

I know it’s still dumb, but in that screenshot they are not using Chat anywhere as a proper noun. The option to get to this screen is no longer Chat settings it’s RCA settings. Conversations it says RCS message instead of Chat.

funny enough… it was a feature flag to move it to the bottom on android for a while before but they removed that too

I started using ente auth for OTP codes. It’s still FOSS and I really like how it shows the ‘next’ code in case the time is short.

I still have it but it just throws an error. such a bizarre feature.

they stopped calling it Chat in Google messages a while ago

Rooted for Volkanovski but this was pretty much the outcome I expected
