Thanks for fixing the image picker issue, very much appreciated

The fact that you don’t understand doesn’t mean I have an obligation to spoonfeed it to you

You mean the web, not the internet. And no, they’re not the only reason, they just help facilitate consumer protection in ways that happen to be mutually beneficial—not motivated by altruism. There are a lot of people who work a lot harder than the EU, often for free, who are much more responsible for the web and the internet itself being in a decent state and being worth caring about.

Lucky for me I don’t give a shit what the EU thinks

Imagine actually having Google Play Services on your phone. Unthinkable. I’ll be praying for you guys.

Yeah, you guys are always “just asking questions”, aren’t you? That’ll be all.

Musk deserves a long drop from a short rope. Aside from that, I’m a no sea lions allowed zone, so you’d best be on your way.

The initial Android Jellybean version of the blobmojis are the only emojis that have ever been good, before or since

Do you do anything besides serial shitposting of ragebait?

It’s really not, which is Google’s fault. Just the ability to sidestep it for the user’s gallery app of choice would be worlds better

I do too. Are you sure you’re responding to the right person? Because you’re not making a lick of sense.

Discord? What, did nobody have an Xfire room? That doesn’t inspire confidence.

The old image picker was so much better that there’s no legitimate comparison, because the old one allowed you to use your gallery app, which is my case is Simple Gallery Pro from F-Droid because it’s the best one there is. I just went from being able to search my microSD card by filename to having some kind of web 3.0 abomination that just shows every picture on local storage in a feed, and an album pane with a whopping 3 albums from local storage. Massive, massive step back. Potentially a deal breaker.

frontend will be closed source for a while

i.e. forever

The image picker now uses the fancy new Photo Picker

The fancy new photo picker is a significant downgrade. It can’t search file names, it doesn’t work with microSD cards, and it’s painfully slow. Can we get an option to select images with an external gallery app?

Take your meds

In John Harvey Kellogg’s case, it was even worse. Much like the guy who invented graham crackers, it was “So drunkenness leads to cirrhosis, gluttony leads to obesity, pre-condom promiscuity leads to syphilis, sports lead to injuries, and laziness leads to being a soft couch potato. Clearly this means that pleasure is actually bad and you should make sure you don’t eat anything that tastes good, don’t drink, don’t lift weights, never have sex except to produce one or two children, don’t play sports, don’t listen to music, don’t have fun, don’t enjoy anything”

You can get 32GB of laptop RAM for like $60 to $80 if you find sales, and even one 16GB stick would be an upgrade for you. Modern bloat is so bad that having 8 gigs of RAM is the equivalent of having 4 a few years ago.
