On the contrary. If I’m paying double the price on a flagship compared to 8 years ago, then I want more features not less.

Exactly this. People shit on the Chinese companies, but the American ones just rip us off with the same product.

You do see ads, you just don’t realize it. There are multiple 1-2 minute videos on your feed usually with the title “Introducing [insert product]” and these are product placements that YouTube is very well aware of. They also had the audacity to tell me that these are ads but they don’t “interfere” with me watching videos. So, they are injecting ads into premium subscriber feeds already. Disgusting company.

Matter sucks ass

You’d be surprised to see how many common libraries have vulnerabilities every week.

Apple needs to port Logic to Windows

I’m scared, but nothing is sacred…yeah

You talk as if it is yet to happen.

I heavily use both platforms, whatever I talk about or wherever I go, I see targeted ads. When I speak about brand X, I immediately see ads for it both in ios and android. Plus every device mic is being listened to all the time, advertising agencies are your proof. Sure android devices collect more data in practice, however the data that’s not being collected by ios can be inferred from the data that’s already been collected. Do you really believe a company when they say their devices are made to ensure your privacy? Google literally says the same thing on their privacy policies ;) it’s all legal mumbo jumbo that doesn’t mean what it’s supposed to.

The data collection happens on both ends. Apple only lies that it is about privacy and whatnot. Gives you a false sense of safety.

WELL DON’T JINX IT

I guess it depends on your main goal. I started out as a gambler then lost a bunch of money and started actually investing. But at the end of the day every transaction you make can be called a gamble.

Still can’t escape cell tower triangulation

Data collection, data sales, advertisements.

I used bad words against a nefarious political person on instagram and the comment got promptly removed. I then disputed the issue and they happily restored the comment lol.

I’m glad there are at least some people enjoying this, you know being a bitch to big corps.

I don’t think that means what you think it means.

I’ll stop going online before I have to pay for a fucking search engine.

Man fuck google
