    [Update: Fixed with update] Google confirms an issue with WebView is crashing many Android apps

    Android's ideology has always been: be together, not the same. We should celebrate diversity and choice. Android was never about having the best of the best, but having what you needed with what you could afford.

    Posted: 23 Mar 2021 11:43 AM PDT

    Lately, I've noticed there has been so much tribalism. There's always someone out there ready to put someone else down because of their choice in phone. I'm getting so tired of the constant:

    "iPhone, oh welcome to your expensive walled garden. I would never be so stupid to pay $1000 for a phone."

    "OnePlus is from Oppo. That's from China. It's shit."

    "Google has really bad support. Avoid like the plague."

    "The amount of pre-installed and un-installable apps on Samsung makes me want to kill myself."

    "Folding phone? Ain't nobody going to pay for that at $1500 when I can buy a great phone that can perform just as well for like $300."

    "Sony makes phones?"

    While some of these points might be valid, we have come so far in terms of developments in smartphones over the past decade that the industry itself as a whole has grown so much more than what we expected it in the 2010s. A lot of these don't really matter, yet so many people are in the camp of "maximalism". There's often a need to shit on others just to feel better about one's phone as it is the "best" available out right now, or that their operating system is so much better than the other because this feature "existed already for the past 4 years".

    I feel like it's time we get past that. I could use a Galaxy S and you can use a Pixel. We both understand the shortcomings of each, and that's totally fine. Equally, we both could know a guy that uses a WhateverPhone Z cause that's all they can afford and that's fine too. There shouldn't be a need to shit on anyone just because you have the most expensive phone out there and they don't.

    I feel the tribalism is just hindering the community as a whole. Strange, one-off experiments usually lead to improvements and shouldn't be laughed at because they drive the industry forward. Differing platforms may be implementing stuff that we've already had for years, but them implementing it should be a success story since it means our influence is far-reaching. People who are less fortunate than us shouldn't be looked down on because they have less, but embraced as we can be together as part of the same ecosystem that accepts whoever-the-fuck, rich or poor.

    Celebrate that we're together, leave discrimination at the door.

    Be together, not the same.

    Am I the only one who prefers curved displays?

    Posted: 23 Mar 2021 11:56 AM PDT

    I prefer curved displays over flat ones. I think curved displays look more premium and I personally never had accidental touch issues with them so for me the trend of flat display coming back is not good cause now you will have to spend more on a pro or ultra phone just to get that curved display.

    Ranking the best Android versions

    Posted: 23 Mar 2021 06:18 AM PDT

    There have been 18 (not including Android 12) major versions of Android. Which ones would you consider to be the best?

    Personally, I think ICS, Oreo, and Pie are the top 3, while Honeycomb and Lollipop are at the bottom.

    EDIT: I should clarify, I don't necessarily mean which one is the best in terms of features. That would obviously just be a chronological list. More about which ones were most important to the platform.
