I’m just pointing out that the entirety of Samsung’s Android adds literally nothing of value to the user to the android experience and only serves to, at best, annoy. Not just this one particular feature.
it is, the useless annoyance is what Samsung 's Version of Android is
introducing.
I must’ve woken up the ghost of Steve jobs…
Also… project much?
If I had access to my own PC atm I would, as im sure there is finally a rooting method for my phone which I know own outright and I think its unlocked(?)… but that’s something I can’t do till i’m back into a stable situation. As of right now I rely too heavily on the phone to risk it.
Can we instead/alongside just actually develop software that doesn’t just take up whateber is currentlt available RAM and power???
Now if, IF, apps spent those resources on why I downloaded the app, then I’d have much less of an issue. Buuuut so much dogshit runs in the background for every fucking app, all sorts processess for gathering irrelevant telemetry, as well as aggressively live microupdates of information that I do not require a near-live accuracy of.
If software assumed it was being designed and ran with the lunar program approach (only what the desired need requires in a fair amount of time), we would get so much life out of everything…
Fuck capitalism. Also, what a hard failure and shortsighted approach it is, when I would pay significantly more for apps and hardware itself if everthing from the OS to front facing UI was conservative in its resource drain, or at least had a true custom setting that actually did that. I mean I would at least pay more than they currently make by serving me ads based on all the bullshit.
For those who thought this was a serious question:
No
Ahhhhhhhh
Uh
Except I can’t think of a company that’s large enough to be multi-state who hasn’t made almost every decision in the last 10 years the wasnt the most short-sighted option regardless of how much more value would be made otherwise. No corporate strategies look anything like Shadow Boxing to me, they all want to just rape and pillage for a short of a time as possible the same they’re more Bandits then Shadow boxers
I know what it is, just didnt know my comment meant I was preparing to fight.
Which they’ve shown they aren’t willing to do…
Personally, YT premium is my only subscription I have, and wouldn’t really have any others if money wasn’t this tight. But I was paying before this recent anti blocker war, I prefer YT Music just because of the way it handles a bunch of the music remixed by seperate and probably not “official” artists. And with how much youtube I watch on mobile instead of my PC, messing with blocking wasn’t very appealing to me, since the jump from YTmusic to full premium is less than almost any streaming sub.
But I have always watched/backgroundnoised a lot of youtube, so its not that much of pain. Realistically, this was bound to happen eventually, hosting that much content hasn’t really gone down in costs as quickly as most tech overhead. But its a fairly complex line item, not just hardware & facilities, but all the law office hours related to copyright log is an ongoing and probably still growing cost for them and since they are not Disney thats a real cost I’d imagine.
As a side note, it just reminds me how shockingly unaware I am of how much they must value our personal data, that it only just now became worthwile to fight blockers with this much effort and PR/image depreciation.
Thanks!
I’m curious as to what effect this might have on people who will now be charging at “slow” speeds, is all it going to do is trigger different Power saver settings?
Nooooope!
Well if they would think more than 1 financial quarter ahead of things, they’d realize that they will lose customers to competition, thereby ruining both device sales and data gathering profits.
What shocks me, and I do mean shocks me, is what this line of thinking implies. Is the data google (tries to) gather from me really worth more $ than, say, an average of 350$ each year? Cause thats just 1 phone every 2-3 years and I’m looking into a tablet, and wearables eventually. I refuse to believe any knowledge about me is unique and valuable enough to beat that, and it seriously confuses me.
I fucking love the name.
That last bit hits home… hard
I’m often on the opposite side of your cashier experience.
For me personally, I appreciate the polite gesture and understand the automatic nature it can be for some, especially southerners. So unless I can tell that I’m being “sir’d” with someone who has clocked me and wants to show their smoothbrain, then I don’t care much.
That said, I like the general idea of treating everyone with a nonconfrontational politeness, so I’ve been replacing formal pronouns with chief, coach, Bud, comrade, etc. Its ended up being even more disarming for most, and has a nice side effect of reducing the amount that I get misgendered.
Hope it helps, Have a great day chief!
