This is pretty much the reaction of most people. And the number of such people is increasing (as they are finishing up on “playing”)

My brother in christ, perfometh a websearch to look for the meaning of the word “hyperbole”.

How to be a tech shithead:

1. Be disproportionately rich
2. Surround yourself with yes-men
3. Disregard any valid criticism as “haters”
4. Become completely out-of-touch
5. Get your mind blown by most basic, obvious things.

Somehow, this guy is the CEO.

Wow, so mean.

I stopped reading after the first two sentences.

Spending the amount of time required to produce professional art when an income isn’t directly guaranteed is a risk most of us can’t take, FYI.

Because you don’t care about making art, so you choose comfort and financial safety. It has nothing to do with “Privilege”.

You’re talking about outsourcing art, but then complain about who actually make art.

Art isn’t output/result. That’s exactly what you’re getting from your gen slop.

“Privileged” lol.

If you couldn’t make a poem before “AI”, you still can’t make a poem now.

It’s the cirrrrrrcle of liiiiiiife 🎵

No I im the current “AI”.

You need a fucking glass for you water? Pussy.

Do you think rule of law exists in the US?

1. Cost. You can get performant brand new phones for $200 that will last you 2+ years

2. OS-wide adblock. I cannot comprehend how iOS users live with out it. I see my GF using her phone and every other scroll of something is an ad.

3. Some other sailing-of-the-seas things that I’m not comfortable posting online about, but it saves me a lot of money on subscriptions from big corporations.

Naw, it’ll just be “software” and not “magic thinking machine”. Chatbots and “virtual assistants” existed before, just no one was using them because they’re a) cringe, b) faster and more efficient to do it yourself.

My first thought was that a hard-fork of AOSP would be a much better solution than a Linux phone. But when you have locked down hardware, it doesn’t matter, because you simply can’t install it.

I still think a community fork of AOSP would be more efficient than Linux mobile.

Many cheaper online banks rely on their mobile app. Your debit card will not work wirhout an in-app confirmation. There’s no web interface (“not secure enough”).

Can I switch banks and make my life less convenient? Sure. Would I do it just to stick it to google? No.

Fuck nuance right? Dumbass take.

Regulation is what’s needed. Not 7 nerds making their lives miserable to “Stick it Google” lmao.

You are talking out of your ass and throwing random-ass suggestions, presuming I haven’t tried anything already.

No, but switching banks just because I want to be a part of “the resistance”, against google is pretty delusional.

Bank apps aren’t the only thing that relies on “play integrity”.

Device is paid for, even if you buy from a re-seller (of any sort)

GrapheneOS, so far, is Pixel-only. Degoogled, yes, but you’re still giving your money to Google, and a lot of it.
