    The missing words are “shitty” and “fucking”, btw. I feel like we’re getting crap posts like this from bots that aren’t willing to tailor their posts for places where naughty words are allowed. Or reposts of bots’ output. Either way, I’m tired of it.

        If you’re not sure, you can make a meme that doesn’t use them. If you think swear words are needed to emphasize your point, blurring them afterwards literally destroys your own point

          Maybe it is, I don’t know. These distorted standards from the mainstream websites, and wierd social etiquettes have made thinking and writing my own toughts feel wierd, I’m literally censoring myself. What an interesting world we live in.

            I think this is precisely why I have such a visceral reaction to blurring swear words and using euphemisms like ‘unalive’.

            Language naturally evolves over time but I really don’t like the idea that it’s being disproportionately influenced by social media companies and their shitty algorithms trying to please advertisers. Yuck!

    And yet with Firefox+ublock it is still 10000000 times better than its competitors.

      There’s only one competitor, apple, and also, I don’t think that firefox mobile is that good. It’s better than chrome, and I’m using it, but I don’t know why would a device with 12gb of ram, a high-res display, a processor that can run warzone can’t run the normal version of firefox with a different ui. I think it just splits development, and I don’t like how it’s always behind in development, and how it lacks features.

        Apple doesn’t have functioning adblock on safari. There are a handful of extensions that promise to and none of them work as well as ublock

        Not every phone has any of that, dummy.

        Also I don’t really believe it is as easy to port as you are making it out to be.

    I’m on a rooted android 8.0.1 Oreo.

    That’s right, my android still has a food related name. Step aside losers

    My Samsung J7 is old enough to go to elementary school and is as snappy and functional as the day I got it. Haven’t had a phone in more than half a decade.

    I also have a functional Samsung S5 booted with android 12, courtesy of Lineage OS

      Android 8.0.0 reporting in o7

      I checked it a while ago, my phone turned seven this summer

      kinda miss system-level darkmode, since many apps don’t allow you to choose theme yourself anymore, but eh, what gives

      yeah, its mostly all the garbage they bake into the stock roms.

      remember laptops, where they were expected to need a reformat out of the box? same for phones but the process is much more complicated and locks you out of banking apps.

      Damn is the S5 actually still usable with that OS? I loved that phone and still use it as an alarm clock (original batterie even).

        Yeah! It gets a bit hot tho, so I’m using it on battery saving mode with low specs, and I cannot have it in my pants’ pocket for too long or it crashes. But it does work.

    The absolute most salient proof of the inadequacy of market capitalism is that when the mobile market consolidated, THESE are the two choices we wound up with. Talk about a giant douche and a turd sandwich…

      A third one is being worked on silently (Linux Mobile), however that will most likely only be a niche choice for those who already ain’t being caught and locked into Silicon Valleys “products”. Due to its very nature there is no VC money involved and therefore no big fanfare planed, even when finished.

      It’s still very much a dev platform right now, even though the Pinephone is freely purchasable.

    The new android file permissions are actually terrible. It’s broken so much stuff and made the whole os much less useful.

    OP, I mostly agree with what you’re saying about Android. I’ve been a user since 2010, and development of mainline Android stagnated about a decade ago. Google isn’t really trying very hard anymore. I got an iPhone this round as my main device. I still have plenty of other Android devices as well as my last phone (OnePlus 8T) that I will continue to use, but I’m enjoying most of the change in user experience to iOS. It’s smoother and better thought out in most respects.

    If your device is really that slow though, are you sure the battery is good? They will definitely slow down when the battery ages to prevent sudden shutdowns if the CPU were to try to use more power than the battery can supply. I think that a bad battery can do the same even if it’s not old.

    If not that, how is the custom ROM scene for your phone? That may be a solution if it’s possible. Manufactures like Samsung sometimes go overboard with additions to the OS that just screw things up. Samsung was probably the worst offender in this regard back when the first Galaxy devices launched.

      Yup. I went to the dark side and bought an iPhone when my OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Edition died (RIP, prince of phones) and I’ve enjoyed it greatly. iOS has come a LONG way in the last decade or so.

        It’s almost as though Apple’s main focus is selling devices instead of harvesting user data for ads. iOS has so many anti-tracking and privacy features built into it that I feel exhausted thinking about all the mods I need to make to factory software on an Android phone to bring it up to the same level.

        Certainly iOS has its flaws, and I miss easier ad blocking, but overall I’m more satisfied with the experience.

      My samsung was working fine for 1-2 months, since then, it’s just lagging and things. I tried resetting, sending it back to samsung to see if it has hardware problems, but it’s still bad. Had a nokia and a huawei before that, and another samsung, I even had some off brands when I wasn’t so financially good but since 2016-17 it feels to me like development has taken a turn backwards, they stopped adding new things, started taking away privileges from the user, and they are trying to hit the same performance with much stronger hardware. Also, twitter still takes 7 seconds to load, but now you can have a 200MP camera with that

    What phone you got? My busted ass OnePlus 7 still runs pretty quick, least fast enough that I never complain. Was thinking about replacing it with a Fairphone 5 when the time comes, which even feels fast enough to me despite the limited hardware in that.
