I think upstream might be the right word in this context.

IMO if they could make the options more easily understood or let users select the way the files needs to be shared.

High time Google opens up the RCS for other apps on Android.

How is the current state of Plasma 6? Can I drive it on daily basis under Wayland and test it out? I dont have nvidia too.

Apple protecting it's precious garden.

rclone ftw!

I would have preferred Hot Chips.

MiXplorer, Folder Sync Pro and more

This is exactly me. Never felt the need of the Google Drive app till now.

Honestly, Custom ROMs have been in decline of usage since few years. There are also Other ROMS like Pixel Experience, PixyOS, Havoc, evolutionX, PixelOS, Paranoid, Derpfest, CrDroid and lot more.

The reason for the drop is due to a combination of reasons like better OEM UI, unpublished Kernel code (Chinese OEMs, Mediatek), locked bootloaders and Safetynet issues.

I'm currently rocking CrDroid it has currently ~85K active devices (https://stats.crdroid.net/).

Yup. I like the std. Material You variant, and it covers most of the apps (6 apps missing)

Yes. Exactly. They need to make it as butter smooth as possible and MS might struggle a bit here due to so much legacy stuff they support till date.

IMO Indian stands with Israel and Russia is because when they were at war with Pak & China, they were the ones that have them weapons.

India sent relief to Ukraine while buying cheap Oil from Russia. It will mimic similar strategy with this war too.

That way, they can't be blamed by any side at the end of war.
