Thing is, not that many apps use Google Play Services. In fact, afaik F-droid explicitly forbids the use of gsm. I'd understand blocking sideloading of the apps that do use it, but if they are going block every single one, that seems a bit draconian and spiteful. Like I understand why they would be displeased with the harsh treatment they received from the US, but I don't think revenge is a good reason to hamper the user experience.

Honestly I like ribbons quite a lot as a design framework and hell, even padding can improve the UX, it's just a shame that neither of these elements have been used well in a decade.

Still easier than half the captchas I see these days

Fair enough. I sure hope that "business" feature stays business-only or opti-in.

In a way I get it since from my experience the C-suites really like not writing their emails themselves so this is their way of trying not to lose existing corporate customers, however I do see how their lack of transparency is concerning.

Hmm... Is that a problem with their more recent endeavors? I myself have only used their email and pasword manager services and I find their feature sets to be sufficient.

Also, marketing containig the letters "A" and "I" does not invalidate the product. While I absolutely despise seeing AI plastered everywhere, it is true that ML algorithms are often incredibly useful (even if LLMs aren't)

You know, people are mad at this for some reason, but while I don't see myself using this ever, I'm really glad a more privacy conscious alternative to the google ecosystem is growing.(Even if this product of theirs doesn't compete with them, many others do)

Less screen real estate for the website and we get... Let's see... A back button that is already handled by the system? A new tab button that saves an entire click?

Sure hope there will be an option to keep the current design...

Yes. I, for one, need to validate my hatered for a dev/publisher by not just claiming that a recent game was bad but by also posthumously digging up their entire catalogue and calling it trash as well.

That one time Bethesda wrote an interesting quest. (I'm sorry, Starfield has taken a toll on my mental wellbeing)
