  • In my experience (having used Pixel 7 nonpro for a while) it doesn't always pick up your finger. Side-mounted (power button) sensor is the nice compromise imho

  • Yup, surprised nobody said this in this thread for so long.

  • just checked. The wipes I use are cellulose and not cotton. They are paper just like toilet paper.

  • oh i see it now

  • Day sex?

  • according to Times, Cognizant workers in Dublin were previously contracted for verifying business listings in Google Maps. this is far from "running the service" I'm afraid

  • they are talking about User Interface, it's different for YouTube (the one for video) and YouTube Music (the one for music). Premium subscription can be shared between the two services, that's correct

  • also pricing varies heavily by region. Family subscription is $6 and student is $2.50 where I live (Poland). But we also got 70% price cut when LJ introduced regional pricing for Sync ad-free because we are poor in general as an economy

  • ecosia(uses bing)

    Ecosia is a fucking scam. They claim that "every search plants a tree", except the monetary contribution towards their "tree-planting" stuff comes from clicking ads -- therefore if you are a knowledgeable user who purposefully skips over ads (or just use an ad-blocker) then Ecosia makes exactly $0 off of your traffic.

  • ensuring music content is available and approved for YouTube Music’s 80 million subscribers worldwide

    this could really mean anything from running the entire service to merely scraping lyrics. and since it's a group of 49 people, I wanna say it's probably something along the lines of the latter. but yeah, your point in general stands.

  • I want to, but I can't shake off the feeling that Google does have a point here: it's like requiring Amazon to bargain with DHL's drivers. It's kind of not their issue: they pay DHL for their services and DHL commissions their employees to do particular tasks.

  • I do because I pay next to nothing for a family membership, I can access YouTube covers and music normally unaccessible in my region (yeah, that happens!) and it works with Android Auto which my father needs (otherwise I would simply use Revanced). Also could never learn Spotify, it's so counter-intuitive to me

  • I tried switching to DDG and then Qwant and sadly they both suck for some searches. For example neither could successfully find anything more specific than the home page on my country's government websites. Perhaps Bing, but, again, it's Microsoft?
