2 days agoI’ve also given up on the franchise. We’ve had our TNG, DS9 and VOY, but enough is enough. We’ve had a good run. I’ve only watched the new stuff because of the Star Trek branding, but it sure didn’t feel like Trek. Except for SNW (which respects the old formula for the most part) and LD (which is just meta humour that non-trekkies wouldn’t enjoy), the newer series were just mediocre sci-fi at best. It’s tiring and every time I put on a new episode I feel like I’d rather be doing something else. It feels like trying to give a crap about all the pokemon that came after the original 151.
The android/iOS duopoly is consolidating. No one will want to develop their apps for a third platform, especially if it’s an obscure one. Remember Windows 8/8.1/10 Mobile? If Microsoft couldn’t get people to develop apps for their platform, what chance does some tiny development team have? Especially when there’s little to no financial incentive.
I’m also sceptical of android compatibility solutions. You can bet that banking apps will eventually try to break compatibility “for security reasons”. We’re not winning any games of cat and mouse here.
