Rule of Google: if it works, kill it.

I know, I know, using Google apps isn't the best, but this was a perfectly good Podcast app with all the features you might want.

Apparently they're moving everything over to YouTube Music, where a lot of the features of Google Podcasts aren't implemented yet.

I've moved over to an app from F-Droid.

You’re not rewarded for maintaining or finishing products.

No kidding.

It is 2024, and here is your yearly reminder that you still can't create a new folder/label in the official Gmail Android app despite the online documentation implying that you can.

Android users literally run their lives out of Google Calendar. Think you can share your calendar with a friend from your phone? Think again. It's back to the 10 year old desktop interface for you!

Oh you're not at home at your computer, well, try using the desktop version of Google Calandar on your phone's browser. I dare you.

I'm still waiting for the day when we can create an event from a message in Gmail.

Wait mine does that automatically, it's actually pretty creepy and I've been meaning to figure out how to disable it or at least make it ask for permission

I think they actually recently stopped doing that, unless the mail comes from a contact.

It's unbelievable that so much of the gsuite on mobile web doesn't seem to have been even touched in nearly a decade. It's insane to me that they're just ignoring that part of their own website even as it's easily accessible.

On the mail side:

Reporting phishing isn’t something an iOS user would ever do. Desktop please!

Filters? What’re those? To the desktop, come on!
