You messed up by having your phone on dark mode
I swear on Reddit you couldn’t post anything without having to spend 5 minutes proof-reading it to make sure there wasn’t a way to misinterpret anything intentionally or unintentionally and that you haven’t left any gaps in your explanation that someone could fill for you. If you missed anything some parasite would downvote you, twist what you said against you to make you look like something worse than Hitler and rally up everyone against you.
Fuck that place.

Warning: This will open your eyes and make you want to dump all your major apps for FOSS alternatives.
Here are the trackers contained in Yelp’s app according to Exodus:
That’s a lot. They make money off of people having their app running on their phone. That’s why they push their app.
That check engine light would be perfect in a VW
Never had that issue
I used to be annoyed by this. I’m running GrapheneOS so I denied Google Photos access to the network but it didn’t stop it from asking every few times I started the app. Sometimes it even ignored my response and tried to connect to the network anyway.
I just uninstalled it and installed Fossify Gallery instead from F-droid. Haven’t looked back since.
Carefully dremel a slot in the screw head and use a flat head screwdriver.
Make sure you don’t get any dust into the electronics.
If this sign is visible while going up the stairs, it’s silly. If it is while going down, it is terrifying.
I am in this picture and I don’t like it
This is just as cringe as that picture of him wearing that Samurai armor that he uses as a profile picture. He just doesn’t know it yet.
I saw it years before deepfakes were a thing. I wish I had saved the video now. I would have loved to take a more critical look at it.
There was a Trump interview from the 90s where he said that if he ever ran for office he would go Republican because they were stupid, gullible and easily manipulated. Sadly I cannot find that interview anymore.
The badly framed picture and finger in front of the lens are nice touches.
So… Someone is going to jail for that, right?
Right?
I used to have those concerns. But I still switched earlier this year from being a die-hard Microsoft user since DOS in the 90’s. It’s no where nearly as bad as you make it sound.
First of all, the controller not working is only the tip of the iceberg of the bullshit sandwich Microsoft has been serving its users and it has gotten far worse now with Windows 11. Microsoft has turned Windows 11 an anti-consumer nightmare of a platform that has zero care for privacy or even for treating paying users as anything else than a source of additional income to exploit further through things like ads and data mining. On a platform they paid for already, must I say again.
Secondly, you can dual boot which means you don’t have to abandon your current setup and always have the option to go back to it should it not work for you. That being said, I haven’t booted my Windows partition in months and am increasingly considering repurposing the drive for something else now.
Thirdly, what very little problems I encountered were a simple google search away to be fixed. And I am far from being a superuser in that environment. I tried to use Linux 10 years ago before and it was a PITA and I gave up. It isn’t like that anymore. It is much better. Things just work now unless you pick a shitty distro.
Finally, I’ve had a harder time finding the settings in a Windows machine after an update that moved things around than I ever had when I first used Linux. And with Linux, especially if you use KDE Plasma as a desktop environment, if something isn’t where you want it, you can customize it to be exactly how you like it. You can make it mimic Windows if you want. There are even custom themes that make it look exactly the same if you really don’t want to change.
And even if you don’t mind that rapidly growing list of major irritants, many people including myself cannot even upgrade to Windows 11 unless they buy a whole new machine even if they wanted to because of the arbitrary DRM chip requirements. And they’re dropping support for Windows 10 next year. So looking down the barrel of having to pay for a new computer while the current one works perfectly well, plus having to pay for another Windows license with which Microsoft will monetize the shit out of my usage of the platform with zero regards to my privacy, making the jump doesn’t sound that bad of a decision anymore. I did it and I’m glad I did.
This thread is weird. People complain about Microsoft doing its Microsoft thing but the moment someone suggests to stop using Microsoft products and switch to an increasingly viable and approachable alternative they get downvoted.
“I don’t want a solution, I want to be angry!”
Sometimes I know it’s a joke or sarcasm but I pretend to take it seriously because it don’t know how to react to it otherwise.
By default I disable notifications for all my apps unless it is something I need notifications from. And even there I still disable notification types that I don’t care about in the settings.
Can’t other phones do this?
