It's so easy to install! You just need to be in the 3% of smartphone owners who actually have one! EASY!
rolls eyes
Huh? It's a replacement for android for pixel phones. Therefore it works on.... Pixel phones...
My point is that if it requires a specific device that most people don't have to install, then it is not easy to install for most people, because it literally cannot be.
But it's not for most people. It's for Google pixel users, that's the whole point! That's like saying oh this diesel sucks and isn't user friendly because it doesn't work in my petrol car. That's because it isn't for your car.
Then don't recommend it for people that can't use it, JFC.
No one is doing that. YOU'RE the one here that is getting angry at nothing. It's just an option for pixel users, who are one of the only demographics locked into Google photos. Other phone users are free to use their stock photo app. You've clearly just misunderstood the original comment and are trying to save face.
That doesn't mean it's difficult to install though.
Cool, I have a Samsung S23fe, please feel free to install it for me. I'll wait.
Admittedly, being facetious there, but my point is that if it requires a specific device that most people don't have to install, then it is not easy to install for most people, because it literally cannot be.
My point is if something is impossible to do, that doesn't make it difficult. It makes it impossible. Those are two different things.
... what exactly do you think the phase "impossibly difficult" means? Because "impossible" is a level of difficulty ie. THEY ARE NOT DIFFERENT THINGS
Impossibly difficult is an oxymoron. If something is impossible, it can't be difficult because if it is difficult that means its very hard to achieve but still possible. If something is impossible, that means you cannot do it, full stop. It is not possible. Those are two completely different things.
