too big (FP1 was perfect size)
It would be so awesome if they'd release a smaller, maybe like a 5.5 inch phone. I have big hands and still often struggle.
life cycle is fucking short
To be fair that's a problem with all manufacturers. But yes they should provide much longer support. At least 5 years. I'd also happily pay for an extended support after that if it's still working.
not enough focus on LineageOS support
I'd love them to support the project more! Degoogling is still hard. GrapheneOS support would be awesome too.

I didn't get this trend in the first place. It looks ugly on all phones. Still they keep adding them like their life depends on it.
I don't think this will ever happen in our lifetime anymore, unfortunately.
You are right. My bad
Raspberry Pi with Plex?
For me they are even better than Google. But I use Qwant now.
Chrome ➡️ Brave - Open source and privacy focused
Search ➡️ Qwant - Good search results and privacy focusing
Photos ➡️ Immich - Pretty much Google Photos but self hosted
Drive ➡️ Nextcloud - Use it with Hetzner Storage Share, pretty cheap and easy to use
Gmail ➡️ mailbox.org - European email hosting focusing on privacy
Meet ➡️ Nextcloud
Because of network effects.
Building a social network is hard. A typical chicken or egg problem. If you don't have a user base, nobody is willing to join, and if nobody joins, you don't have a user base.
It usually requires a bunch of money to build a social network.
The fediverse has a long time to go but I believe it will win sooner or later.
That's so unfortunate. I'd still rather buy their phones than supporting Apple or any other soulless corporation. Even if they have the perfect phone
