I get the appeal of iOS when everybody around you uses it as well. But in my personal bubble, most people don’t and I find myself using my 14 Pro more as a stand-alone “computer”, rather than a interconnected device amongst others in the ecosystem. Thing is, and it doesn’t matter what anybody tells you: iPhones suck hard at this. You know how modern games come bare bone and will sell you everything as DLC’s? This is how iOS feels like.

Despite this, I actually like this device. But the idea of having to spend more and more and more to have a enjoyable experience frightens me. It’s the reason why I avoided getting a MacBook so far, instead opting for a Windows Laptop and simply dealing with the inconvenience of transferring data via cable or 3rd party software.

Firefox unfortunately doesn’t, but at least Safari does… as well as a few other extensions.

It’s funny how unapologetic they are about it, but they know their users are hooked and don’t give a shit.

Totally would’ve continued using my Pixel 2 beyond the 3,5 year mark, but yeah, software support and security updates are kinda important. Also the next to impossible to replace battery didn’t make things any easier, usually I would have replaced it and passed the phone to somebody like my grandparents who only use it for WhatsApp calling.

There are 3rd party clients already in the works. Have you tried wefwef.app? Just type it into your browser and enjoy

Same. Now I’m using the wefwef.app interface and it’s quite good. Only problem is that my keyboard doesn’t work for some reason. Will try to „reinstall” the web-app.

It comes down to finances, right? Hard to tell what those currently look like, but I read that their evaluation estimate dropped by something like 7% to 5,5 billion USD in recent time.
