I don’t see the point. Sure, smartphones can be bad, but I have adhd and an addictive personality and I can limit myself if I set up boundaries. Remove apps that waste time, set app time limits, but still have a gps/camera/computer in my pocket if I need it.

I’m interested to see what responses you get though.

I suspected the site was a demo of what the software LOOKED like, then I got to the part where y’all say it’s functional. That’s a REALLY cool way to do an intro!

I like that they put “could” in there. A lot of articles claim improvements “are” coming to solar or battery, then it never happens.

The only thing I need to know: https://social.heise.de/@vowe/110655159261864491

I’m interested in why you think android has any privacy benefits. If you are talking full-google android, I don’t see how running an OS made by a company whose business model is finding out every bit of info they can about you is privacy positive.

Now if you are talking lineage and/or grapheneOS
Without gapps, sure.

I like Apple because my phone just works. Sure the customization isn’t there, but I’d waste time on it if it was. Also stay on Apple because last time I checked, the Apple Watch was the only wearable that tracked wheelchair activity properly.

iOS has gotten far buggier since Steve’s departure though. The “paint the back of the fence” mindset got ruined by Tim Apple and capitalism.

Yeah, chuck in on the pile of “battery innovations” that get announced but never come out. It’s a large pile.

Hydrogen is the future.

I made an account there once and immediately got racist and homophobic results, so I quit using it.

I use DuckDuckGo. Including using their browser on iOS and windows.

It’s summer here, and El Niño is coming, so I’m in a constant state of climate induced despair and panic. It’s my big trigger. I see one bad news story and my brain runs down all the possible avenues about how we are all going to die and how my son’s life is going to be terrible and I’m horrible for having brought him into this world and everything is falling apart and it all sucks now.

But I just started playing destiny 2, so that’s fun.

I’d be willing to bet that the vast majority of Americans don’t budget at all. I don’t. I should, but I’d probably walk into traffic if I had to look at the numbers.

One of their mods literally was a 20 hour work week dog walker who wanted to work less.

They THINK they had to work hard. Most of them are from a time where a one income family of 5 could actually be financially solvent.

Not to mention the scams. I have tinnitus, and google knows that, so I get snake oil tinnitus ads all the time.

Seriously, if someone cures that, they won’t need to be advertising on YouTube.

Lol. Love this place. I make a joke, but get an actual explanation in return. Thanks!

Is that why KBin never works for me, but multiple Lemmy instances do? Lol

I don’t like Apple because of their anti-user, anti-third party policies, but their quality, interoperability, and privacy make me pick it over google for my phone, tablet, and watch.

Granted, it I could replace those things with FOSS alternatives that worked as well as Apple products do, I would in a heart beat.

That was easy for me. Apollo was Reddit for me. I deleted my account, removed that app, and now the barrier to entry of reaching Reddit would be going to the mobile site, so… I’d rather have all my teeth pulled with a rusty pair of pliers. Addition cured.
