I'm highly concerned about this, not only due to lack of control of software I can choose to install, but also what happens once a developer is blacklisted? I haven't seen anyone really address this.

What guidelines will Google use to determine that an app is "safe"? Will Google begin blacklisting developers who modify apps? What about developers who make apps that aren't controversial themselves, but linked to controversial technologies or can be used for controversial means? (Torrent clients, etc.) Google to my knowledge has not provided a list of criteria they will use.

Even if Google claims pure motivations now, I think the amount of control this policy carries will be far too tempting for Google to refuse to utilize in full for any cause.

They charge for remote access whether it's through their relay service or not, and you can't opt out of fallback to their relay service.

Let Google know what you think: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfN3UQeNspQsZCO2ITkdzMxv81rJDEGGjO-UIDDY28Rz_GEVA/viewform

They still haven't fixed the task switch button from the three button layout becoming non-functional after four years: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/204650736

It's a byproduct of the home and task switch button now being managed by the Pixel Launcher regardless of which launcher you use. The animation delay makes it so the button becomes inactive and won't be made active again until the Pixel Launcher is killed or the phone restarted.

From my perspective, Google is losing interest in maintaining Android at all.

Whether a jury feels a charge is fair is the whole reason trial by a jury of peers exists.

It's a feature of the system, not a bug.

Now the question is - are they open sourcing the original Winamp, or the awful replacement?

At some point, you lose productivity and reduced work weeks have shown increases in productivity can happen.

With UI decisions like the shortcut bar, they really don't. I switched to another SMS app because I couldn't stand it.

I love this feature and use it all the time! Are there any apps I can replace this with?

Rust specializes in making parallel processing secure and approachable, so it's going get used in problems where parallel processing and efficiency matter.

Rust is also now allowed to be used in the Linux kernel for the same reasons, which is exciting!
