Bought the Pixel 6a as upgrade from my 4a, mostly for the camera, but the photos are almost indistinguishable. The 6a is slightly bluer tinge, I prefer the 4a. Pretty unimpressed by the 'upgrade'

Pixel 6a - a large magnolia tree in a park, foliage and rocks beneath
Pixel 4a - close up on a mock orange flower - white with yellow stamen, green leaves

People are so rude on the a11y slack so often, its so predictable and it really sucks

@kirsty no its really, really bad. Mostly white dudes who think their expertise is a licence to be rude to everyone

I don't know much about this area so I might have this wrong, but this seems comparable and its $3,395 plus the cost of an ipad Pro

@afg it's great that you add alt text, but if I can suggest, they are more useful to blind people as descriptions. So here could be 'Various vegetables including tomatoes, courgettes, carrots, potatoes and squash'

I wonder what the last game (ever?) to provide extra functionality via a cartridge was. WarioWare Twisted?

Zelda Tears of the Kingdom really is incredible, highly recommended. Stunning achievement on a relatively low powered console, and a stark example of how stale a lot of other game design has become
