This bug has been the bane of my existence for almost four years now: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/204650736

Microsoft releases a new Windows app called Windows App for running Windows apps in c/technology@lemmy.zip

The Android version of the app still has the zoom/cursor offset bug when using a software keyboard from when they sunset RDP 8. That has been a severe usability bug for over three years now.

it would be nice if iWork used ODF as it’s really not productivity software if its formats are not compatible with the rest of the world no matter what OS and software one is using in c/apple_enthusiast@lemmy.world

CSV only exports data, not formulas. I don't really consider it a proper spreadsheet interchange format.

Google still hasn't fixed delayed notifications on Pixels, but you can try this in c/googlepixel@lemmy.world

Right - I wasn't suggesting that it would fix the notification issue, just that it might give the previous commenter the Android environment they're looking for.

They're certainly losing interest in maintaining core Android, which is closer to what I meant. Everything you've described is within their Play Services environment.

Some of what you've said is incorrect as well - I have a third party gallery that works just fine on my stock Pixel 8 Pro. Its access is just managed by a separate permission.

With the Pixel phones, there's GrapheneOS. It might be my go-to one day.

I just tried it out - triggered it after about an hour. 🙁

I feel like it's been downhill since Jelly Bean.

The default Android animation transition length is 300 milliseconds. The gesture based navigation uses this delay.

The task switch button, for whatever reason, can interrupt this delay, making it as fast as I can tap, which is a lot faster than 300 milliseconds. In fact, this is what triggers the bug. I had to set the animation scale to 0 on my device just so it can keep up with me.

Speed, time, and duration are not subjective measurements. I will accept that it's more comfortable for you, however.

When your navigation preference breaks the Android animation duration because you're using it so quickly, get back to me.

I said it was subjectively better and objectively faster. And it is.

Not everyone will agree faster is better, and that's fine.
