I’m pretty sure I mindlessly checked out just as often. I cringe thinking about how I just used to watch TV ads without batting an eye. Imagine being numb to that.

Ok this is a fair point. But saying an app is bad because it doesn’t respect its users should cause no hard feelings between friends.

This us silliness based around false notions about people who value privacy. It’s one step from saying “you have nothing to worry about if you’re nor doing anything wrong,” which is an absurd idea, especially now when we’ve seen firsthand the effects of social media disclosing information that leads to the prosecution of people who have abortions and the non-consensual outing of LGBT+ people.

Personally, I feel like there are more eyebrow-raising aspects about continuing to use apps like Facebook and Instagram when we know how hostile and intrusive they are to our personal data.

Moreover, it’s not just harmful groups that need privacy. Safe communication tools are also important for groups that seek positive change, such as BLM, LGBTQIA groups, and anti-fascists.

We are in a privacy community, or am I mistaken? All this is just privacy 101.

As someone who did poorly in math and science classes because I spent all my free time reading Stephen King novels, binging horror movies on VHS, playing the original Final Fantasy, and walking around town aimlessly with my friends, I assure you we were there, and I knew people with even less motivation than myself.

Does Signal work with other chat services? I know they dropped SMS support at one point.

You think you’d lose friends over saying a social media app is cancer?

Battery optimization in Android 13 is such dogshit. They should have had it as its own setting category to give users full control over which apps we want optimized.

Instead, they just optimize everything and put apps to sleep if you need them infrequently, all so they can brag about the battery life of their devices.

I’m always one step from going full third-party OS.

“I told you I don’t want to hang out with you.”

“I’m sorry, but I’ll need that rejection mailed to me by post in a hand-signed letter.”

Sorry, I see in another comment you were looking for a more technical explanation. I feel like I didn’t contribute to that at all.

Sir, that is not an employee. That is a pig.

Yes

Would any of these help? Otherwise like someone else said, music is one of the easiest things to find on the high seas.
