When I quit at McDonalds to start a career in welding, the owner of the store happened to be visiting. He took me aside and told me "You know, those guys at... (Sorry, what was that place called again? Right...) You know, I've heard the people there aren't as nice as we are here. Are you sure you want to leave?"

I've never wanted to punch an old man so much in my life. In that moment, he was the personification of class warfare to me, trying to "trick" me into throwing away my future just so he could have more cheap labour. And the fact it was so blatantly obvious added insult to, well... insult.

Anyway, it's not the same, but the "wallpapers" thing definitely gives me the same vibes, lol.

It really is the same thing though. It’s out of touch, insulting, and downright disrespectful to use something that is not unique to the provider, or valuable at all, as a reason to stay with said provider.

The xiaomi wallpaper carousel is the worst piece of soft on my phone, I don't care and no you can't have all those accesses.

Had to install some freeware to just set the backgrounds wtf is this, the way they are getting people now??

Literally used adb to forcefully remove it... It reinstalled itself. Bruh

Android development app that runs on a PC and can connect to an Android device via USB to control it.

Lets you do way more than what you can do directly in the Android device itself.

Apple desktop bus. Not sure how it is used in this manner, however

Username checks out but this standard was deprecated in the late 90s lol

I'm starting to suspect I just didn't get the joke

Why would Apple make a tool for Xiaomi phones?
