Google is retiring its Meet (original) app in favor of the up-to-date Meet app. Those using the service have to download the newer version.

I'm stumped...there was a "new" Meet app. Why didn't they just use the same "new" app as an update to the old app? Why make users download another new competing, confusing thing?

They changed Duo to meet, and that's the built in video call button on stock android, and now it's fucking broken. Google needs to figure their shit out. It's like they launch new products that do the same fucking thing every 5 minutes to keep software designers employed. I can't count how many products Google has had for video calls. Just fucking pick one and leave it tf alone.

New app idea. Report roadkill for in-app rewards. Other users, scrapers, can collect the kill for its fur, meat, and bones for various purposes. And to resell the collars.

It's like Falling Fruit, but for animals
