I feel like a boomer in my 20s with the fact that I fucking despise having to pay 30-40 dollars a month just so some guy from work can reach me and tell me I need to work extra hours. Everything and everyone else I can contact online using my work's PC or my personal laptop. It's also dogshit-garbage because it's getting to the point where most services entirely give up on their desktop/browser ports or websites because they just assume people are going to use their phone.
Instagram was like this for a long while. Indeed recently removed their "distance" feature and other filter features from their desktop version. Reddit is another example. Enshittification of the internet to put it all on a phone is awful.
also i forgot to mention something in my main comment but this is pretty important: i hate phone wars almost as much as enforced "download our app" and maybe phones altogether.
this is separate because it's not informatory like the one about tracking. this is just a rant i did while sleepy. i apologize for commenting twice and will not do this again, i thought it was allowed
i like phone when i can emulate funny game, i like phone when shattered pixel dungeon is a thing, but i hate people who call my phone shit because "not iphone" or "not samsung" or whatever phone brand people worship, i am not made of gold, my trees don't grow money, shut the fuck up
i have this classmate who is so smug about "converting into an apple fan" and i told him "good for you, be in debt for all i care" and he also got the apple watch. i don't understand smart watches for people that don't do jogging, don't those cause stress for showing you your heart rate? but i digress. he was like "you thought i wanted an iphone? no, but after seeing with my very eyes how it works and how it takes pictures i put my own money into them and i got a phone that i will have for at least 5 years, and iPhone 14 Pro comes with iOS 17 out of the box, so the years of updates are set for me", like yea sure spend an entire minimum wage salary at a phone that cannot be repaired or fiddled with. see how an iphone works? that shit looks the same as 15 years ago or whatever. they're the phone you get to look like you are the coolest of the cool on earth, they're the phone that movies are obligated to sign a contract to use (and only for the good protagonists, never the antagonists! android evil ifone good ! buy more now best no fake real)
little me seeing minecraft pe free no virus on android: ok this is the one i want
this guy just makes me want to throw him out the window
If a refurb pixel with grapheneos is the phone of evil then I'm happy to be evil. I guess the only way I could get more evil is to use xiaomi or huawei
only good guys use ifone ! putin uses huawei mega evil moster ogm
jokes aside i'd get a xiaomi. i really want something to custom rom. sadly, pixels are not an option. i knew someone who said that iphones are superior because they're called "smartphones" and android phones are just called "phones". romanians call them phones regardless, fuck it, just fuck it, i can't stand phone wars anymore, it's all a wallet battle
My refurb pixel 7 was like 200 USD which isn't too bad for me, but that's the old Imperial Core Privelege at work. Ofc I'm not sure what the situation is in your country. I would never buy a phone new these days anyway. Not worth the price
my country has this culture where new is good, but also old is good. my family used to buy second hand but "new is always better and will work unlike second hand" smh
Is this real lol? I'm going to keep a lookout the next time I build up the tolerance for a movie made since the iPhone came out.
i heard it was real! it's the apple "no villain clause" apparently and was shown by the director of "knives out" rian johnson
and james bond was known for using android phones at one point, but is that a villain or a protagonist? i don't give a shit, the br*tish ew yucky barf sound effect 5
