I'm convienced in next 5-10 years I won't be using Android anymore. This is sinking boat, the only thing keeping me on it is that other boats are just being build.
nitter.net is really slow/doesn't work. Faster nitter instance: https://nitter.cz/MishaalRahman/status/1701304928700899749
Mishaal is also on mastodon. I'm not sure why we post nitter links for his posts:

They removed a rarely used function from the free android open source project to a paid, closed source program that Samsung/Xiaomi/OnePlus/Sony/etc are already paying.
This affects only who uses Amazon or Huawei devices (or a Google-less custom ROM)
But while nobody cares about this specific function, Google is slowly removing features from the open source project year by year. The calculator, the calendar, the email client, and so on
Also both Amazon and Huawei never used the AOSP Fast Pair. Huawei has their own proprietary implementation which was there before even Google came up with Fast Pair and FireOS is still on Android 11.
I guess lineage os will have to come up with there own implementation
So what happens when they removed all their bloat? We get a nice clean barebone OS?
The trash is taking itself out. Noicee
