This fucking sucks.... Nothing comes close to Nova and even when it was bought by that shit company I didn't switch because there simply is no good alternative....
First google killing sideloading, now no nova... Android is basically becoming Apple but shitter.
I've never owned an Apple device but I feel like I'm getting pushed to the brink.
Everything that has made Android awesome has been getting killed off.
Dark Souls type games that are just pure grinding wasting time.
I bought this shadow game that look awesome gameplay was fun at first... Then something felt off.. Things were just ridiculously hard for no reason I kept dying on level one...
I was like... Wtf is this shit? Little googling and the game is made by the dark souls people and apparently this grinding over hard shit IS the appeal...
Na man, I got a job and kids and responsibilities and my one hour of playtime better be fun... And dieing and grinding ain't it.
The thing is these people aren't working man. You and I are working, they are going to a meeting from time to time on their way to the gym and free restaurant reservations.
They are basically fucking around getting paid shit loads of bribe money to live the old man's dream.
I cancelled Netflix when they did the sharing bullshit and I cancelled prime when they wanted MORE money to not give me ads. Fuck that.
However, you and I seem to be in the minority since these mega corps push one bullshit after another and people just bend over and go "please use lube this time..."
The one compromise I'd like to see is for sites to have to provide keywords like in the robot.txt file that says what they serve. So let's say a site provides porn or gore and a parent wants to block access to it, it should be a simple toggle on the router or browser or both.
Republicans will rally around a literal child rapist if it means winning.
Democrats, unless the candidate is pure love pure intelligence pure mana from heaven pure oneness with the universe, he's literarily barely any better than Satan, therefore we won't vote 🤷♂️
Why have we lost every part of the government?? Pikachu face
I will make healthcare free for everyone! We're going to have the best healthcare in the world and billionaires are going to pay for it!
I'm going to start a federal drug program! We're going to have the cheapest drugs in the world and no-one will have to decide between rent and their medication!
I'm going to start a national Give Parents Freedom Act, where we will provide free daycare for any parent making under 100k/year! We will pay for it by cutting the military budget by 1%!
In my first 100 days I'm going to sign the mothers are awsome executive order mandating 1 year of maternity leave for mothers and 3 months for fathers. Employers will not be allowed to fire any new parent.
I'm also going to divert ICE money into a new consumer agency called "IYCIWFYU" (If you collude I will fuck you up) their entire mission will be to investigate corporations that are price fixing and stealing money from the people.
I'm going to make digital Tax filing FREE for everyone and divert all IRS investigations into people making over 5 million per year!
Instead we get
I'll try to pass a bipartisan bill to maybe fix some roads... 🤷I don't know... We'll see what Republicans let me do 😢
Dude, I've been fighting this fight for over 10 years starting on reddit.
The amount of people, even supposedly?!? tech savy people that bootlick and excuse corporate behaviour is maddening. To the point makes you want to be conspiratorial and think they are saboteurs.
What I will never EVER understand is being loyal and "loving" a company. No matter if it's Apple, Samsung, Google they ARE NOT your friends. In fact they are the exact opposite and will make your life worse if it means they can squeeze an extra cent out of you.
Signed by who? Google? If so how does that not basically give them a monopoly on what can be installed?
And what about privacy? If somone wants to build an app to help whistleblowers, they have to expose themselves to a shady shitty mega Corp like Google?
What is even the point of buying a home in a HOA? You're getting fucked by the bank on the loan and then by random dickheads about your yard... Might as well get an apartment at that point and get some rest.
