Google says it will start downranking non-tablet apps in the Play Store

Google's push for big screens will include a (hopefully dramatic) Play Store redesign.

Yep, we're definitely doing foldables next week.
And here I thought they only rank whoever pays the most in any relevant way
- How else would all that free2play garbage always be ranked at the very top.
  
  They all have such predicable names too:
  
  War of Heroes: King Battle
  
  The Great City: Global War
  
  Arena of Warriors: Fire Multiplayer
  
  I just made all three of those up, but I bet you there are games with names similar or even identical to that on the Play Store right now
Paving the way to Chromebooks
This seems like a good idea and I hope Apple eventually follows suit. There are so many apps, especially on iOS, that are just the mobile app blown up on tablets that are basically unusable.
- Robinhood on an iPad is hilarious. It's like you're on a giant phone when navigating the UI. Haven't been on it in a while though so not sure if they fixed it by now.
Thunder for Lemmy has 2-column tablet mode, yay.
