  Oh no! I bought a phone before I knew everything there is to know about how wretched Google is, and how deep the surveillance state runs! The horror! Let me just waste a $1k purchase!

  Yeah, sorry, I could have worded that better. I use o launcher pro (but the free version works great). There are others, that’s just the one I use. No icons, no notification badges, nada. I set my phone to grayscale unless I’m taking a photo.

  All of these people buying dumb phones instead of just downloading a text launcher on their phone and calling it a day. Like I’m not about to go waste money on a dumb phone when I can (1) set up a text based launcher and (2) uninstall Instagram. I have a perfectly good Samsung, and I’ve switched to using it more as a tool than a source of dopamine.

  Too many peopl fall for the hype of these objects bc it’s easier than taking accountability, and easier than taking the initiative to do something on your own.

  You’re being obtuse on purpose. Whatever. I will not have sympathy for you when the clankers take your job next.

  AI in healthcare and science has been a boon, but other than that, fuck it. Absolutely not. I will not support the job stealer. The water guzzler. The environment destroyer.

  What do we use instead of Firefox? I don’t want to participate in the AI bullshit, and I honestly really like Firefox and use it across all my devices :(

  The fact that it uses Android is what draws me to it, bc I know I can side load whatever I want onto it. Thank you!

  Anyone know if these are any good? I want a dedicated e-reader but I don’t want a kindle bc I don’t want to deal with Amazon.

  I do use Firefox. What sort of alternative for YouTube music would you recommend? I only use it (YTmusic) because I have YT premium, and why pay for another subscription for Spotify/ apple music (those may sound better but I am HoH so that doesn’t affect me)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube Is Pausing Premium Family Plans if You Aren't Watching From the Same Address⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, I do, I just also like YouTube music 😅
