My personal issue is that it (9 pro) is very slow compared to the 6 pro. Searching the settings for example takes many seconds to find anything while on the 6, it was near instantaneous. Often times it is quicker to just navigate through the settings menu myself. The camera feels sluggish to operate after successive quick captures. Loading the camera gallery takes a few seconds of refresh to show new photos I’ve just taken. The rounded corners on the screen are too rounded and it cuts out text and icons (like the Fullscreen and rotate icons). And I think the battery life with the same services and apps running is not an improvement. So it’s a more expensive phone for what I perceive to be a loss of quality however superficial it might seem as I write this down

I upgraded my pixel 6 to a 9 and this phone is much worse in most ways. I fail to understand how one of the richest companies in the world puts out worse products over time and thinks it’s alright

The general dosimeters available at Chernobyl could only read up to 3.6 Roentgen, so they took that value and said “hey, that’s not a too bad a level of radiation” without realizing (or putting in their due diligence) that the true reading was over 15,000. And the head operator and architect of the disaster (dyatlov) kept using 3.6 as the proof that everything is alright and just a minor setback even though the only higher range dosimeter that was available immediately fried itself

I wish the hate was more widespread, I also work in the tech industry and there are plenty of people who i have to work with who have given themselves up completely to having Claude do everything for them. I have never been so frustrated not only trying to keep up but also fixing problems overlooked by LLMs and then absorbing LLM generated responses to pr reviews or to why something broke in production

yes, they only support devices still supported by Google updates. When a pixel is eol’d, graphene stops supporting the device

I’m unsure about the whether airvpn is owned by fascists but it seems to fit the rest of your criteria and at least on paper is italian

i started using CWA and it has been fantastic. it was the best project for my purposes among the ones i tried (calibre-web, kavita, booklore). Booklore was pretty but not really stable imo

i was also going to suggest opencloud as an option - i’m looking to move my setup from nextcloud to opencloud when i have the time to migrate
