  • And with how vague the voice constitutional change was, it would be able to be dismantled in every meaningful way another 11 times in the future. It would just have to exist, but it could have been comprised of a 19 year old white intern who supported anti-indigenous things.

  • Almost everything I’ve seen last night and this morning was about how this wasn’t a result to do nothing and ignore it, it was a result that said go back and rethink because what you suggested wasn’t going to help.

  • This wasn’t “progress or not” though, that’s ridiculous and sore loser talk. Another toothless advisory panel that will be ignored isn’t “progress”.

    Real progress would be something like guaranteeing some new seats at the senate to go with the “voice”. Give them an actual voice that gets to decide on things that affect their community. Giving them a “voice” that can and will be ignored will change nothing for the better.

  • It has nothing to do with anyone becoming “conservative”. Another advisory board would change nothing when the ones we already have are ignored and aren’t working.

    60% of the country voted for gay marriage, a far more “liberal”/“progressive” thing than the voice, so saying we’re getting more “conservative” makes no sense. The fact is that the actual progressive people recognize that this was all grandstand virtue signalling, and we want more than that. “It’s better than nothing” is not a valid reason to change our constitution. How about actually doing something meaningful as a starting point instead?

  • One of the things that really put me off Kodi (as a long time user as well, I also had an XBMC xbox) was the mentality of "it shouldn't be easy, there shouldn't be any setup wizards. It needs to be difficult to configure and get working because we're l33t haxors!" in so many kodi forums and affiliated people. They wanted it to be hard to set up and use because it made them feel smart, it was absolutely ridiculous.

    As soon as Plex got their UI to a design I liked I jumped ship and haven't looked back.

  • Is stopping Android development not killing it?

    No, because AOSP is open source. Samsung for example has been doing far more for android development than Google have.

    What would it take for you to consider Google to have killed android?

    Google can't really kill Android because it's open source and every OEM has their own fork of it.

  • No? Not sure how you got that from what I posted lol.

    Google aren’t going to kill android. I never said that. What they’re going to do is make a new OS for their mobiles and devices and stop android development. As I pointed out, they’ve already begun this with fuchsia and by not adding 90% of their new OS features to AOSP. They don’t want their OS to be open source anymore, that was just how they would capture the market they wanted.

    The last few Android OS versions outside of pixels have just been essentially UI and security updates. Virtually no new features. Everything is pixel exclusive. This is their way of weaning off Android into their new closed source OS. They’ve already updated all of their Google home hubs to fuchsia.

  • Plex is just easier, especially when using multiple devices to watch content and/or sharing content with friends and family. I used to be all in on kodi over Plex, but Plex improved and improved and improved and is a better product imo.

  • Their pixel exclusive features absolutely do not require the tensor SOC. They would work on any flagship chip.

    The source is Google want to be Apple with respect to phones. They crave that locked down closed source OS where everyone is beholden to them. They don’t like that their product is used against them by their competitors who often do it better. They’ll drop android development in the relatively near future 100%, when they have their closed source replacement.
