yeah, why would I stuff all my poo poo in pockets like some sort of human junk drawer when I can have a cute accessory that holds and organizes my things? it’s kind of condescending when men complain about pockets on our behalf like we can’t figure out what we want for ourselves.

also most of my dresses have deeper pockets than man jeans but I only use them for discretely taking my phone to the shitter

personally I wish I could strap each daily item I carry to one of my four appendages, and when I need to use said item, all I have to do is flail said appendage at what I need to use it with

it would make life much more convenient

"Google has decided to permanently remove all top touch functionality. The company sent us the following statement:

'We take user privacy and product quality concerns very seriously. Although we only received a few reports of this issue, we want people to have complete peace of mind while using Google Home Mini.

We have made the decision to permanently remove all top touch functionality on the Google Home Mini. As before, the best way to control and activate Google Home Mini is through voice, by saying 'Ok Google' or 'Hey Google,' which is already how most people engage with our Google Home products. You can still adjust the volume by using the touch control on the side of the device.'

Note that it's not just the long-press to activate Assistant that's getting permanently canned, but also the single-tap functionality to play, pause, and stop alarms/timers. The support page has now been reflected accordingly"

but its now super safe guys; keep having conversations about your favorite brands and interests around the mini

i think inbox was way too radical a change so theyre slowly turning gmail into it one feature every year or so

they did tease a material design revamp due sometime after the calendar one

yes, I use it at work for testing the lovely email integration of our lovely app so I make new profiles and add new accounts pretty frequently too. it's pro plus msi install tho, none of this o365 click to run nonsense, so that might be why

compared to the interface in gmail its amazing

i mean i guess gmail is okay if you want four different inboxes and want to only see a single line of text about each mail but i keep my email empty and for me inbox surfacing bills showing all relevant info from the main screen is perfect far better than those odd tooltip links to tracking info that gmail does

i can see why they didnt just make inbox gmail because users barely grasp email at all but man is gmails ui clunky and weird for no reason good thing theres a redesign coming
