There are a handful of customisation apps that are only available through the Galaxy store. The ones I use are all Samsung official apps, but the poorly written descriptions on the install pages definitely make me uncomfortable.

It's like they only intended the apps for their Korean users, and ran the text through Google translate for the English versions.

So confidently incorrect, and so deep into false advertising territory.

My body is ready! Or, well, my phone is.

I live outside of a tiny country town in Australia, and local shops literally do not carry many of the sorts of items I need or, yes, want.

I work from home and rarely go into town, so paying twice as much and taking a day out of my life just isn't my bag.

If I can get local and it's not urgent, I will put together a consolidated list and go in some weekend when I have enough to make it worthwhile.

Sure, it probably makes me the devil, but unless I go move to a cabin in the woods and life a self-sustainable lifestyle, I can't realistically avoid supporting some amount of evil just by existing under capitalism.

I try to make good choices where I can, and vote for people who, ideally, could effect real change.

They need a "don't show crappy Chinese junk" filter - I love shopping, but it's impossible to browse for anything worthwhile, and incredibly boring.

"On it" or "checking" is my acknowledgement.

👍is my approval.

Last thing I want is a trainee jumping the gun!

Perhaps - I am notorious for my issues processing verbal communication!

I think for some it is just easier - they don't need to get their nephew to build a janky website, or cut into their profit by having someone build a decent one.

The older blokes in particular probably aren't worried or even aware of the issues with Facebook. For them, it's just a place to share pics of their grandkids visiting and boomer memes etc.

Even with the younger crowd - when I move, which is every few years, I often find new hairdressers on Facebook; few bother with a website. They're already on there and it's a great way to show their work to a wide range of potential clients.

Almost no one is going to a website every few weeks to check out updates from their favourite artisans, but they will scroll through a social feed and often interact with the posts.

I'm pretty stupid and don't like reading big walls of text but I was able to work out the basics lying in bed with one eye open, and had started subbing to communities by the time I was having my first morning coffee.

Sure, I ended up changing my mind on instances a couple of times and now have a few dupe accounts, but I was good to go after about three days of playing around. And again, I'm stupid and easily distracted.

If other ex-redditors can't work it out, they're very welcome to stay where they are.
