Android is great because of the foss apps. iOS doesn’t really have that. I think it’s due to no side loading and having to pay an annual fee to be a dev and needing to have a Mac to compile for iOS.
Yeah, not just worse quality but also some apps don’t come to Android until months later.
Linus from tech tips has complained that the Android version of YouTube is missing features that iOS has.
Another commenter mentioned that someone did a switch to Android challenge and Instagram was missing features.
A chatgpt competitor has had an app for iOS for months and Android just got it, I think something similar happened with chatgpt.
It’s not just arbitrary screen size, it’s about with wide variety of specs that need to be supported. Your app needs to work on a crappy modern Android with a slow cpu and limited ram as well as the flagship stuff, its easier for the devs to make a one size fits all app instead of expanding how some features only work on some phones and keep track of all that.
Additionally, newer versions of Android will have better and more capable apis. But if only 12% of people are on the latest version of Android, then coding the app to use those apis would either break the app on old version of Android or they would have to have code for doing a task an old I efficient way and a newer better way. So they just do it the I efficient way.
While the new features may not matter to you, it makes devices much harder to develop for. This is one reason why Android versions of apps are worse compared to the same app on iOS.
But like you, security updates are very important to me. If I were ever going to switch to Android, I’d only consider getting a pixel. And I won’t consider that until it has a native desktop mode so I can essentially use it as my pc.
I don’t get the appointing of a new judge every two years for 18 years. Does that mean that the courts are gonna like fill up with a bunch of justices or is it just every two years you can replace an empty seat?

It’s pretty crazy how my wife’s m1 air does. It’s the most powerful computer in our house and that’s saying something. As I have a somewhat recent computers.
I’m picking up an air once the base air has 16gb ram and 512 storage. Hopefully the next model will finally make this change.
Before anyone comments that 8gb is enough. I’m regularly using 10-11gb of ram while working in windows.
Dropout has some really funny stuff, but they don’t have regional pricing where I live, so they cost about as much as Netflix and just a little less than Disney+
I’ll totally subscribe if they offer a better price in third would countries.
This is kinda what people said about the kelvin movies. If it were not for them I might never have got into trek. Now, I’ve seen everything trek most of it more than once.
Well I still need to watch prod season 2, but it’s not officially available where I live at the moment.
I love the Orville, but each season became more serious.
The third season had some really heavy episodes that made me need a break. The whole thing was malloy going to the past was heart breaking.
Don’t get me wrong. I thought that episode was a masterpiece, but it was really emotionally draining. And that’s fine, I’m actually looking to go back and finish season 3
