RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
- Keep it clean and SFW
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I want the apps back from 10 years ago. Well functioning, beautiful, no ads, no subscriptions, just one payment.
Fuck, I'd take the apps from last year. Google fucked up the fucking weather app over the last year. How do you do that? They had something great with the Pixel Weather app with a great convenient layout and the cute froggy mascot. Why dump that for a lifeless app with worse layout?
And Maps removed the ability to pause & skip forward media with a single easy press. They literally chose to make it less safe while driving. Plus removed navigation summaries like the distance and average speed of a trip.
Go back further and you definitely get even better though. Fewer subscriptions. No AI crap. Remember when Google Now put useful information right at your fingertips? Before they killed that for just a news feed?
