Yeah, I know this gestures, they're not the same...

iPhone users always tell me about those. They have never used the superior android implementation for any real stretch of time and don't know what they're missing tbh...

iOS does a lot right. Navigating the OS itself is not one of them though imo.

I cannot handle the lack of a unified control scheme and app logic in iOS. I don't understand how all apple users just ignore that.

In android back is back. In every single app. It always does what you expect. It goes back.

I iOS sometimes it goes back, sometimes it goes up. Sometimes it's on the bottom, sometimes it's on the upper top left (why the actual f would you place it there...), sometimes it's wherever. It depends on the apps it seems?

App settings are sometimes in the apps themselves and sometimes buried twenty menus deep in the phone settings menu. Where is the logic in that?

Those two points alone hold me back from using an iPhone or iPad. (there's others, but I could live with those). It's frustratingly complex to use compared to the relative simplicity of an Android.

Yeah, I'll stick to startrek.website tbh. While I appreciate the effort, I don't see the need.

Time also helps. The longer and more you spend in the heat, the more you get used to it. Your body will adapt.

I come from the cold north and live in a tropical area now. The heat used to kill me. It still does 15y later, but I can handle it much better than before.

There's not enough thin 10 inch laptops on the market. I'd love to have a simple affordable one without 2010 bezels...

Have you tried it? The amount of customization it offers is pretty unique among "mainstream" browsers. Not sure how many browsers still offer an email client, rss reader, options to read the web in text only, etc etc.

I'm pretty sure most (as in many) people reading my reply can gather what I meant with power users in a discussion about browser alternatives.

It works amazing as in: all functions and customization and added functions it offers work seamlessly together.

But feel free to be more pedantic if it makes you feel good :)

Vivaldi. Browser for a power user. Works amazing. Basically opera before it was bought by the Chinese.

Ok, so I guess the risk is not really big if you use common sense and use some digital hygiene. The bigger OS exploits can't really be protected against anyway as an end-user...

Pretty cool to watch. Do you have the original source of this?

Maybe a dumb question, but how the hell would they access my camera/geolocation etc? On e.g. a stock pixel device, would the french police have an actual backdoor through google? Or would it be through compromised shitty apps (like the chat app that was being used by criminals a while back, which was actually made by the police)?
