      If you’re still using your 14 year old android, then they probably hadn’t implemented the planned obsolescence feature to that phone yet. Sometimes they forget to do that with early models.

    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!

        Hey, we need some more positivity here IMHO. Thanks for contributing even if censored bugs some people. I thought the meme was funny and it made my yesterday better in a small way.

    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.

    Funny, though they have actually been working hard on optimization too. For a great example, see changes like userfaultfd garbage collection in 13.

      I feel like the whole JVM stack is just kind of a lost cause. We’ve been throwing bigger hardware at it and optimizing it for decades, but the crappy iPhone my workplace gave me, still feels smoother in every way…

        I believe back in Android N there was a move to compile all apps to native before running. Currently, Android relies on Android RunTime (ART) and it tries to keep everything performance critical in compiled code, but it’s not perfect. You do still have a JVM and there’s still garbage collection.

      I don’t know what are they optimizing it for, when I click on something, it still takes a year to load, the only difference I feel between my current phone and my first android is that this one has a much larger screen, and this one costs 10 times more. In my opinion, android has been going backwards since around 8.0
