Kinda sick of this meme. It’s not dead, it was replaced by Health Connect.

Google Fit was the ‘hub’ for fitness-related data for all apps. Developers could link their app to Fit so users had one place for all their health data.

Android took over Fit’s role and called it Health Connect, which is now out of beta. Health Connect is the API that developers now use to store their data in one centralised location on the user’s device.

If anything, this is just a logical next step. Should Google have just started with Health Connect? Obviously. but I think it works better as an Android service and not a Google one.

Google Fit is sticking around (for now), as a user app for tracking fitness. It uses Health Connect API to store data, and now other developers need to use Health Connect instead of the Fit API.

It’s not that serious bro

Which phone do you have? I’ve been able to disable that “swipe left to access Google” thing on every Google Pixel I’ve ever owned. Just long-press your home screen and go to home settings and disable it.

That’s ok.

I use revanced for YouTube on my Android phone.

I use Smarttube Next for YouTube on my Android TV.

It works wonderfully.

That isn’t new, that’s how ad networks work. Google owns one of the largest ad networks.

Here’s mine, for some more fun -

Sony Xperia X1 (the very first Xperia - it had a stylus, keyboard and ran Windows Phone 5.1 (the original pre-iPhone OS, not the later metro style OS)

HTC Desire (the og desire! and my first Android phone. I rooted this and flashed it on a weekly basis. Miss those days…)

Nexus 4

Moto E (I dropped my 4 and figured I’d try a super cheap phone, worked surprisingly well)

Sony Xperia X3 Compact

Nexus 5X

Pixel 3

Pixel 7

I miss small phones so much…

He literally defended himself bowing to government censorship a few months ago. Keep up.

Nothing beats Google Photos for me, personally.

So I bought a used Google Pixel 1 (first gen) and use Syncthing to sync my camera roll from my phone to the Pixel 1.

Google originally advertised the Pixel 1 as having unlimited cloud storage for life, so they have to stick to it. I don’t pay for Google storage but I’ve got at least 500gb stored in Google Photos (including all my RAW photos and my digitised VHS tapes).

I’ll abuse this system until the Pixel 1 dies and I can’t get another one, then I’ll cry.
