can access files under Downloads

Wait, you can access local files on your phone's storage in the VM now? Is that a new addition? On the Android 15 version of this, you don't have any local access at all.

I think they're referring to the fact that you no longer can create accounts without using an email address. You were able to use a UI loophole to do it before via Old Reddit, but no more.

Well right now it's still just a VM and whilst you have root access you can't access anything on your phone as it appears to be sandboxed. Not sure about camera access.

But yeah, in theory you could use an old Android phone instead of buying a raspberry pi, for any little side project. Ideally Google adds a way to enable the VM at boot as right now you can't do that.

Sadly I think most trump supporters are in it for the long haul at this point.

I take it you weren't around for the Nexus 7 (first edition)?

This never made it to outside the US, what exactly was it? (the linked help page doesn't actually say)

Nothing beats Google Photos for me, personally.

So I bought a used Google Pixel 1 (first gen) and use Syncthing to sync my camera roll from my phone to the Pixel 1.

Google originally advertised the Pixel 1 as having unlimited cloud storage for life, so they have to stick to it. I don't pay for Google storage but I've got at least 500gb stored in Google Photos (including all my RAW photos and my digitised VHS tapes).

I'll abuse this system until the Pixel 1 dies and I can't get another one, then I'll cry.

My wife keeps telling me she's feeling unsupported.

That's a legit issue with these federated social media sites. The whole idea is to avoid one entity having too much power, but it splinters the discussions and the communities in a way that inhibits them.

How do we know a better gaming discussion isn't happening some place else?

How does a company interact with fans and grow its brand without spamming every single gaming community on the fediverse?

Not sure what the solutions are, but maybe that's the point? We're trying to usher in the older days of internet communities. Smaller, closer forums.
