I feel like Android and Linux (being that it’s what Android itself is based on) do the whole “everything is an app” much better than, say, Windows. On Windows, generally speaking, your entire desktop experience is built-in and so tightly coupled that it’s hard to switch it out. On Linux, you don’t NEED a GUI at all, but if you want one, you’ll have a display server, a window manager, etc. On Android, at least without the desktop mode, the base GUI is the launcher, which is just an app.

System apps that require root access are still apps. Of course the kernel isn’t really an app and I don’t think Google Play Services fits most people’s definitions of an app. System libraries aren’t apps. So those are the parts that you could consider true “OS updates” as opposed to “app updates”, but since the “apps” part of the system (if you include system apps) is so much more visible to the user, an OS update will seem like it’s mostly a bunch of app updates.

Yeah I actually liked the whole Vista/7 era Windows looks. Didn’t like anything else about Vista but that wasn’t Windows Aero’s fault.

Isn’t that what Whatsapp and Telegram are already used for?

I mean yeah, you’re right about the desktop mode, but 90% of new user facing features are going to be in one app or another generally.

Technically the desktop mode itself might also be an app, though a window manager or desktop environment isn’t something we conventionally think of as an app.

No idea when I’ll get to touch a new enough Android to play with it. My old Oneplus is on shaky custom rom support and my daily driver is an iPhone (which will likely get much longer software support and is newer to begin with)

Everything in Android is an app tbh, even the launcher is a completely normal app.

Man it’s porn, not guns. Children should not be near it!

Oh wait this is France

Anyway, I agree with you. We’re talking about regular ol garden variety porn. Everyone will probably see it at some point. Parents can limit what their kids see until the kids become smart enough to bypass filters. At which point they can probably handle seeing pennis n vagene.

Good ol’ Anja und Katja definitely helped me out in my teenage years.

It’s not just the nazis. Rich fucks from all over the world keep money there to hide it from authorities. Though I guess that’s changing now.

Oh boy

Switzerland has pretty decent privacy laws of its own, why you think Swiss bank accounts are a meme?

Me neither, have had a couple gins and tonic. Decided to try raspberry gin with lemon bitter tonic. Awesome

Also Quad9 is Swiss which may actually better than EU?

Oh yeah, I definitely missed it. Thought you meant why are the poor getting things for “our labor”

I’m also not the one who mentioned the friend, but that’s unimportant

Did anyone go “Wtf is wrong with the system” when that show came out? Because I don’t remember that happening. Of course I’m from Europe lol

Because they didn’t choose to be born poor and probably work harder than you. Any other questions?

I love how this is actually an example of progress. These days, ML can be used for this kinda thing and it’s not too bad at it even.

Orion browser is a bit better than Safari for adblocking but doesn’t solve the issue of other apps

Don’t have it here. I do prefer the local soda over Fanta lately, for patriotic reasons. It’s this one. Unfortunately it doesn’t hit the sourness for me like lemon Fanta.

Hey I’ll have you know I switched the BMW for an Audi, the ThinkPad is a Lenovo and I take generic ibuprofen with my Fanta!

G counts as y
