reduces my loyalty to the platform

Why the fuck would you have any loyalty to Apple? They sure as shit don’t have any loyalty to their customers. In fact they piss in the face of their customers and tell them it’s raining.

I’m lazy so here’s lazy delicious veggie tip:

Get a rice cooker. Get rice and FROZEN pre-processed (chopped) veggies. These are still very inexpensive, require no preparation, last forever in the freezer, and are actually FRESHER than “fresh” veggies, since they are picked when ripe and then flash frozen rather than picked prematurely and sprayed with a ripening agent. Your rice cooker should come with a veggie tray so you can cook the rice and veggies simultaneously. Drop them in there and fire it up. Get yourself some “simmering sauce” and heat it up in a pan for ~15 minutes and baby you got a stew goin’.

That’s the exact opposite of what most people want from an app like this.

Yet, they use Brave. Chrome

FTFY

Just disable the ads, crypto and telemetry and suddenly none of those things are a problem anymore, just like Firefox.

Sure we can but will we? No.

Twitter has only lost ~10% of it’s userbase after repeatedly abusing its own users. Reddit probably less. After everything we’ve learned about Meta, tens of millions of people signed up on day 1 to join their new service, Threads. Google Chrome still has like 80% market share.

Changing is honestly a trivial ask, but we won’t, because no one cares.

When T9 was all we had, we got real good at it.

No software updates mean they have to get it right the first time, which they always seemed to manage.

I’ve come to the realization that the phone I want is a Nokia 3310 “brick”.

• Infinite battery life
• compact size
• headphone jack
• indestructible
• no spyware
• no social media
• T9 texting
• no software updates
• Snake
• Brick Breaker

I pretty much just assume “Free To Play” games are full of microtransactions, is that wrong?

E: to be clear, I don’t think microtransactions are an inherently bad thing. In fact, if people want to make games where other people with more money front the costs of development, I’m all about it.

What I hate is being reminded every 5 minutes that it has garbage skins that I can pay IRL money for.

It really depends on the vehicle. The fastest ones (Kia/Hyundai) will charge 10-80% in ~18 minutes (350kW max). Something like a Nissan Leaf can take an hour or more.

uBlock isn’t going to block pop-ups that are from the website you’re visiting.

The options on Android aren’t much better

Literally every one of them is better, because none of them are running iOS. That’s my subjective opinion.

unless you go for some obscure manufacturer who won’t support the phone with updates 1 year after its life cycle.

Samsung and Google both support devices for 5 years now. Doesn’t matter how long Apple “supports” the software because they don’t support the hardware.

Why not both?

I think in reality the Chrome web browser is a huge threat to Internet freedom and should be a top priority.

lol

You guys are fuckin weird, man

No man, you’re just supposed to say “Sup.” back to them and then repeat ad nauseum.

sup.

They won’t. The vast majority aren’t using any kind of ad-blockers in the first place or Google would go out of business.

You have to blame YouTube and the people who click those garbage thumbnails

clickbait is unreasonably effective
