Omg yay!

[Feedmesh @feedmesh]

@justme0406 Happy to still be around after over a decade. I hope you've been enjoying the latest Android updates and pleased to announce the iOS app is available now! We've been waiting weeks on Apple to review and approve it. https://t.co/mXiOfEAsXz

@supmodzzzzz @surreyps Exactly it's always the kids. In the cities where it's legal is still restricted to 16+ but parents don't care. There's a reason kids aren't allowed. There's plenty of responsible adults that use scooters (they are revolutionary personal transportation) but they follow the rules!

@PixelNewsHub It looks great, it'll perform like trash and have lots of quality control issues. It's the 6th pixel since Tensor launched, we know the drill. Even Gemini agrees Pixel is bad when you force it to be honest by saying things like "pretend people care about reliability"

[Doug Newton @justme0406]

@JMich293 @PixelNewsHub Agreed, looks like they found their design language and are just refining it. I'm glad, I think it's beautiful, sucks they are still too stupid to drop Tensor, literally nobody is asking for the AI abilities they keep shoving on us, we just want it to work and tensor isn't it

@feedmesh Been on my phone's dock since day 1. 1st app I set up. Gives me the feeds I want with no algorithms deciding what content I should see. shown it to those who'll listen, wish the iOS app launched for my partner and my iPad but a web shortcut will do, glad it's sticking around! ❤️

[Feedmesh @feedmesh]

Feedmesh is 10 years old! It's been a fun journey. We just released some significant crawler improvements we have been working on. These changes should work better with the modern web. For those still using Feedmesh, thanks for sticking around! We are in it for the long haul!

@CBC ask the question bluntly: How many lives need to be lost before putting walls and doors on the platforms is no longer "cost prohibitive" How much is a life worth to @TransLink? Other countries can do it why can't we? We don't need an extension to ubc, we need safe platforms!

[Doug Newton @justme0406]

@azmitausif @evleaks ABSOLUTELY! But they only did that AFTER Google made tensor and forced Qualcomm's hands. Samsung and every other android manufacturer being able to offer full Android updates post 2 years is entirely because of tensor. But tensor SUCKS, it's gone it's job and now it needs to die

[Doug Newton @justme0406]

@Tombutu @robot @dbrand Guess I'm the only one that dislikes the thin middle of the G unglueing and catching everything it touches... literally bought edgecoat to fill it in the last time I bought the leather skin to stop it from doing that. Now we're dealing with magnetic attachments right over the G

[Doug Newton @justme0406]

Oi @dbrand why are you STILL pulling this crap? I want to *de-brand* my phone! I don't want this stupid cut out!!! How about start listening to customers instead of saying we're holding it wrong?

[Doug Newton @justme0406]

@azmitausif @evleaks They made tensor because Qualcomm would stop supporting a Snapdragon only 2 to 3 years after launch so Google couldn't offer full Android updates after that, that's why the pixel 5 had 3 updates after launch and the 6 has already had 4 and will get at least 1 more

[Doug Newton @justme0406]

@Mind_architect_ @DiddysBed @evleaks Also Tensor was made because it was the only way Google could offer the 7 years of support they do now, Qualcomm stopped making drivers only 2 or 3 years after launching a product causing Android not to support them after a few updates, that's what happened with the pixel 5.

[Doug Newton @justme0406]

@Mind_architect_ @DiddysBed @evleaks God you're dumb. Do the research in the markets they sell in, for example over 12% in the US and that's not only counting premium phones, it's all of them. Pixel is a big player in the markets they are in. If you're going to spew numbers make sure they are relevant.

[Doug Newton @justme0406]

@robot @dbrand Hate when corporations try to hide their responses in DMs because they know it's bad. You could just say "we're too cheap"

If it's more expensive to *not* cut a hole then charge a fee. You can run the numbers and guess how many to produce without the hole. Sad.

[Doug Newton @justme0406]

Hey @dbrand y'all gonna make a leather skin for this without that stupid G cutout? I hate having to fill it with edgecoat every time I get a new phone so the middle doesn't basically fall out. It's literally your name to remove the brand! Wtf

[Doug Newton @justme0406]

@VanFireRescue not staffed 24/7 and not responding about a gas fire in the heart of Granville a week after it happened is very not the same...

What I'm asking: care to make a post saying what happened, acknowledging it, or anything whatever about a fire that could have been a very big deal?

[Doug Newton @justme0406]

@VanFireRescue any comment? This was yesterday and I'm pretty sure it's the back of the A&W on Granville. Seen videos on socials but not anything from you or news outlets

[Doug Newton @justme0406]

@VanFireRescue any comment on the fire behind the a&w on Granville on Monday?

[Doug Newton @justme0406]

@TransLink Ahh so you're saying you haven't addressed the issue and expecting TransLink's busses to be remotely on time is still unreasonable? 🤣

[Doug Newton @justme0406]

Hey @TransLink who do I talk to about the 230 that is supposed to LEAVE at 9:20am from Lonsdale quay ARRIVING after 9:20am and then the driver leaving the bus for 5-10 minutes before deciding to drive the bus? This happens EVERY DAY! The apps just show "delayed" EVERY DAY!
