Do you use the Stock OS, or a custom ROM?

[–] Andromxda 4 points 10 months ago

Yes, GrapheneOS is always very quick to push out new updates.

I think all the crypto scams, all the shitcoins, NFTs and other blockchain bullshit were much worse. At least AI companies usually don't require you to give them large sums of money, they're only after your data and absolutely fuck the environment by wasting absurd amounts of power, but they don't try to take away your life savings

not to mention Chinese OEMs which can recharge more than twice as fast

Which absolutely fries your battery. That's one of the reasons Chinese phones would typically have horrible battery life, were it not for their stupid and aggressive "battery savers" and process killers that prevent basically anything from running in the background, which makes some tasks completely unfeasible/impossible on these devices. You want to receive push notifications outside of Google Play/FCM? Too bad, your app is gonna get killed after like 2 minutes of background usage. You want to sync your files/photos/contacts/calender/anything with your self-hosted server? Too bad, you can't do that, because some Chinese manufacturer wants to market their phone with some crazy 120W charging and doesn't give a fuck about the consequences. There's a reason why Apple has stuck to 5W charging for so many years. And it's not because they couldn't figure out how to make it faster...

To be fair, there's always been backspace feature, it's just a swipe gesture, not a dedicated button

That's been Microsoft's slogan for decades

I haven't seen that on midwest.social yet, but I'm definitely gonna continue to observe this and then decide if it's worth blocking them

[–] Andromxda 10 points 10 months ago

I definitely try to avoid it. Whenever there's an (active) alternative community available, I prefer that.

Why midwest.social? I definitely agree with the rest though.

"go kill yourself"

"Have a nice life."

Seems a little contradictory to me
