I love it, performance is good, battery is awesome, build quality is pretty good and I'm happy with the stock OS, back in the day I used to unlock the bootloader and root as soon as I get the phone, but with the software support this phone is going to have and the features it has, I hardly see any reason to root.
I bought a second hand pixel 6a a couple weeks ago, my previous phone was the OnePlus 3, lasted me 5 years and at the time of purchase it was already a two years old second hand, bought them for basically the same price, 200€.
Pixel 6a user here, the fingerprint reader works 9/10 for me, only rarely refuses to unlock because of a misalignment or something, wondering how people who complain about it actually use it.
My OP3 was dying and I needed a new poo phone, I can't afford buying things whenever I want so that's extra incentive to hold on to my devices, so after 5 years of use (the OP3 was second hand) I finally got the opportunity to switch phones and I got the pixel 6a (second hand as well)
Honestly I love it, it's basically the same size and almost the same dimensions as my previous phone but with a bigger screen, the OS has some very cool and intuitive options here and there, the camera is better back and front, the battery is great for my use case, I appreciate having a new phone again that will still have decent software support.
And all of this for around 200€, the same price I got my OP3 5 years ago, I'm really glad I could find such a good phone for this price.
I used to mod a lot back in the day, installing custom roms, custom kernels, all kinds of apps, but that changed and I just use a DNS and ublock on Firefox, I'm not even planning to unlock the bootloader and root this one, I'm happy with stock, it has everything I need at this point in life.
Not the same person but I'm using Nova on my pixel, for starters icon pack support is a must to me, and then Nova lets me tweak things on a granular level, so I end up with much cleaner looking launcher, no search bar, no scrolling bar, customizable background color, text color etc and that's just a few advantages it offers.
You're not missing anything, people either think you're defending Rogan by pointing out the insult or they just don't care about the fact that the insult is degrading for peasants.
Calling someone a peasant as a humorous jab is okay, but using it as a serious insult isn't.
Playing The Fractured But Whole for almost a month now, it's a pretty enjoyable experience and it feels just like playing an episode of the show, liking it a lot so far.
The Exynos variants of Samsung devices can have their bootloader unlocked, it's the snapdragon ones that can't and even then there are some instances where it was possible to do it, but it's still a hassle and the Exynos variants tend not to have good development support.
Individuals with ADHD are more likely to participate in politics, finds an extremely unreliable study with an extremely narrow and homogeneous sample group.
This is awful, to think that all this legacy would go to waste someday, I can't fathom having all these unique experiences, all these stories and love letters to genres and cultures getting lost in the vortex of time.
I feel sad for the people that are just getting into gaming and them not experiencing games that made history, the good and the bad.
Something like this should be preserved even if just for study purposes, for those games before the digital era, the only options that are left for us are either piracy or emulation, and thankfully we do have these options but yeah we really should have future proofed this industry in some way.
C'est triste à voir mais c'était assez prévisible, on a l'impression que beaucoup de monde a migré vers lemmy, mais c'est parce-que nous sommes une minorité assez vocale.
Reddit n'aura peut-être plus le même feeling (pour nous en tout cas), mais il aura toujours une audience.
Yes we've had one test, what about second test ?
