“Compact” is a bit of a stretch. But the size of the Pixel 9 and 9 Pro (non-XL) is pretty nice. I currently have a 7 Pro and while the “screen real estate” is nice, it’s really on the upper end of what I’m willing to use. (Both in terms of size and weight) I bought my mom a Pixel 8 recently and I really liked the form factor when I set up the phone. It’s large enough to fit everything on the screen but small enough to use comfortably. Since I really want a telephoto lens the non-XL Pro version seems like it’s made for me. 😄

Wouldn’t it be better for our digital wellbeing to have an option that makes it unpleasant to use the phone in bed? 😬

I use it when I’m staying at hotels and want to use their WiFi, or any other public WiFi, to protect my private data. Google probably has it anyway but there’s no need to share it with another unknown entity.

This is a belated April Fool’s joke, right? This looks horrendous. Like the ugly child of iOS and Samsung icons.

I’m still not quite sold on the pill-shaped camera bar but I suppose this design helps with consistency across different types of device (normal phones, foldables, tablets), unlike the current camera visor.

They should do a video call instead of flying there for meetings all the time. Much more efficient and cheaper.

Are there also meetings on other planets?

Just installed v121 and I got a notification upon starting the app.

Seems to be working. Thank you!

Here’s a test reply.

Doesn’t work with a setting > 15 minutes for me either. I currently have it set at 30 minutes and didn’t receive a notification about your reply.

Thanks for looking into it!

Thanks. It doesn’t seem to work though. I’ve set it to check for messages every 10 minutes but I get no notification. (The app was closed during that time) 🤔

Does anyone have the some problem? I’m on Android 14 on a Pixel 7 Pro.

Notifications! Yes! Thank you.

(Can someone please reply to this, so that I can test if they work for me? Thanks. 🙂)

I’m not using two-button navigation but there was one nice thing it did in Android 9: you could flip the pill to the right and hold it to scroll through open apps until you’ve reached the app you wanted to switch to (or move your finger left/right to scroll in that direction), and only then lift the finger.

Unfortunately that only worked in Android 9. In Android 10 you could only swipe to the very next app. Not sure why they butchered that carousel navigation; probably to bring it in line with full gesture navigation.

Same. However, my reddit usage has decreased significantly. I used to spend 1-2 hours there every day (which was waaaay too much), now I spend 5-10 minutes on reddit at best. The terrible mobile design drives me away because it keeps nagging me to use their app. On the other hand, I also only use lemmy maybe 15-20 minutes per day.

So in total, the stupid decisions of reddit have improved my digital well-being because I spend less time mindlessly scrolling.

Uh…thanks, spez?

It’s a relatively new feature that is slowly rolling out to other languages/regions. I received it maybe 2 or 3 weeks ago (in Germany).

I don’t think there’s a definitive list of words/phrases that trigger it. It usually works with one or two words (for example “happy birthday!”) followed by an exclamation mark. Could be pretty much anything. It even works with “Batman!” Although the result is … well, not appropriate for the Dark Knight. 😄

I mean, how many ways can you style an X?

Maybe they need a new mascot now that the bird is gone. How about a hamster? They could call it Xhamster.

Nah, you’re totally right. That’s what the Burt Ward Robin would say. I was thinking more of the current Robin in the comics, Damian Wayne.

Depends on which Robin we’re talking about. The response could also be just “-tt-”.

Congratulations, you’ve passed Capitalism 101.
