Of course, I personally think the biggest failure of Android is the apple-ifying of the phone design. There are exceptions, but it feels like every flagship is trying to just make an android flavored iPhone.

You will be secure and you will like it!

Some of those things have some minor benefit to some users. There are plenty of people who like the reduced thickness that removing some of those features provides.

The issue is that corporations like money, and the big money guy (apple) removed those things and made more money so all the other guys figured they could too if they just copied that. Now all of us have to deal with the reduced functionality and options.

Potentially overreaching law is great excuse for an organization to make an unpopular change. Now it’s not their fault, they had to do it.

Skype still exists?

For some context for Americans, the UK has about the same population as the two most populated US states, California and Texas, combined.

Every comment you make is being stored on hundreds of hard drives, I bet you can guess how ethical the entire process of creating those was.

Better not continue, otherwise you might continue participating in unethical consumption.

You care too much over something that is so significantly unimpactful.

Cloudflare is one of many contributing factors to how annoying the internet is now.

Who cares? Who makes a new account just to ask this sort of leading question?

Perhaps we should also hold the rope, knife, and various chemical manufacturers responsible.

The bridge architect? He designed a bridge that people jumped off of, so he’s at fault for sure.

Feminism - good

App dedicated to talking shit about people - bad

Seems straightforward.

Gimmick features in general. So many android phones are just designed to be android flavors of an iPhone, removing all the character that used to be one of the benefits of not going with Apple.

I had a phone that had a built in kickstand. It was both useful for propping the phone up and as a fidget toy. My last phone had a camera that would pop up out of the top of the phone so they could put a better camera for the selfie cam while also not having a hole in the screen.

I have him tagged with “derangedposting” so I know immediately who it is when I see his comments.

Barring terrible company policy, those people who can’t do more than allow the AI to think for them will find themselves out of a job pretty quickly if they can’t do the work themselves.

Bad employees and stupid people will always be stupid, the newest tech isn’t the cause of that. Maybe it lowers the bar of entry a bit?

Lastly, you’re clearly gatekeeping “the ability to critically think” based on some arbitrary conditions you made up based on “how things used to be”, so to speak. Maybe you could have used your superior boomer wisdom to figure that one out.

This is some boomer-tier gatekeeping and just another “back in my day, things were better because…”

The people who aren’t problem solving beyond typing something into a chat bot are the same people who wouldn’t have done so before the chat bot existed.

You can absolutely find similar complaints about the internet being invented, or search engines, or any other technological expansion in the past entire human history.

Whenever copilot tells me I can’t do something I tell it how much I think Microsoft is a bunch of losers for the restrictions they’ve put in.

It doesn’t solve anything but I feel a little better after.

Usually I’d be ‘screw apple’ for this sort of headline, but really, stealing from your friend, getting him fired, and then selling the stolen info to some dorky YouTuber is just stupid.

Country known for historically being resistant to rapid technological change is resisting newest technological change trends.

How surprising.
