Short answer: no

Long answer: only the most important things should even have such low-level access to the system. A fucking game is not in that category. Nooooooo

I choose what my iPhone fetches. Android and windows get third party apps I didn’t ask for with their updates. Apple doesn’t let accusers or vendors add bloat to their updates.

Samsung announced they will be putting ads on the lockscreens of new phones, using the front camera to stream the video into AI to gauge your reaction to the ad and influence which ads you see on the lockscreen.

Android has always been inferior from practical standpoint but had cool features first and some which never even came to iPhone. Many of those features have been depreciated or aren’t compatible with all Android phones now though. Their hardware was all over the place and some of it was just plain bad, but it was definetly more interesting. There’s a great variety in hardware in Android that Apple just doesn’t have and isn’t interested in chasing. I actually like the folding phones by Samsung but their bloated BS I can’t remove and shady security practices that require root or address, which creates its own security concerns, are unacceptable to me.

Your apps are loaded with them more than iOS apps are. Your App Store has far more scams than apples. Significant feature and security upgrades are withheld on most Android phones to encourage the purchase of another one, though to be fair that’s not true across every model anymore.

Hell, look at what Samsung is doing with their fucking lockscreens. Android could have been great. It should have been great. But it’s totally enshittified now.

“phallocentrically yours….muusemuuse”

Oh this could be a goldmine for incel rage bait.

I’m going to start using this phallocentric vs gynocentric thing to mock these incels.

“Ugh, you refill with premium instead of regular? That’s so phallocentric”

“You don’t know the name of your mailman? Such a gynocentric thing”

Just ridiculous things that don’t relate to anything suddenly fall into a random category, like gendering German nouns.

Is this guy doing a bit that we are laughing at or does he actually believe this stuff and we are laughing at him?

My girl friends and my friend who works in the ER say the same thing: doctors ignore women. They are fucking horrible to women.

Friend who had Lyme disease was told it was all in her head and she should stop being hysterical.

Sister who had to get her gallbladder removed was told there’s nothing wrong with her, she’s obviously a drug seeker, and they aren’t falling for her BS. They did the tests and found the issue but didn’t even look at the results of those tests, just chased her out. Her GP looked at the actual imaging work done and told her it was clearly visible, right there, and they should have seen this. But nope, not going to happen.

Ladies are just inconvenient to medical practitioners. They aren’t respected as human beings.

Honestly one of the reasons i prefer iPhone to Android is I can use it without being marketed heavily to. Android always has tons of ads just everywhere.

At this rate, we are all going to end up using stuff like tahoeLAFS

I was at my sisters house yesterday and needed to leave a little note on their computer for next time they use it. They had windows 11. I opened up notepad and a fucking ad showed up for grammerly IN NOTEPAD! It was obnoxious and overlaid on top of the app like some shitty early 2000’s malware.

Windows allows this kind of “functionality” now and people still use it. Just embarrassing.

Get a picture of yourself taking a shower. Print that onto the shower curtain.

KDE really is what windows promised to become back in the XP days and just never did.

This is the end goal for conservatives banning LGBTQI stuff. They want to other us, take away our visibility, and while we are vulnerable, pick us off one by one. This shit here is exactly what they want and they are getting it.

They want attention. They want someone to run them over with a truck, or shoot at them, or somehow make them a victim. Their whole thing falls apart when they aren’t victims.

They are antagonizing us on purpose. Don’t fall for it.

This was always the plan. Saturate the tech job market so the wages would plummet.

Nvidia doesn’t have stable drivers. Report for misinformation.

I’ll take Business majors making technical decisions for 400, Alex.

Oh no. Anyway

Being that powerful and wealthy doesn’t happen without doing horrible things. Then, once a person achieves that status, the pressures change and they just become worse.

They are replaceable.
