Imagine this: you’re armed with your trusty de-Googled Android, ready to capture that candid moment of your cat contemplating existential dread, and BAM! The Pixel Camera app crashes faster than a tech conference WiFi. What’s the culprit? A new font in the latest app update (version 10.x) that seems to have it out for phones like GrapheneOS.
Yes, you heard right—a font. Who knew fonts could be so sassy? Apparently, this particular font requires Google Play Services to function, turning every eager shutterbug into a frustrated techie, staring at their phone like it just insulted their sweater choice.
So, what does this teach us? Even the simplest elements of software can have catastrophic ripple effects. Just when you thought you could deprive your Android of Google’s clutches, here comes a little serif to ruin the fun.
Will this font debacle get patched up? Only time will tell. Until then, you might want to keep your camera aimed away from your de-Googled device and stick to good old-fashioned Polaroids—or perhaps just embrace the chaos and start a TikTok account documenting your tech misadventures!
