Yeah it's funny how these rich babies frame it as being attacked when it's literally people responding with their money to the immature shitfest.

Not spending money on an asshole isn't revenge, it's people making an educated fiscal choice

Imagine if it didn't work on your device. Lawnchair apparently isn't available on Android 12 without sideloading.

In the list of available apps I see "Neo Launcher Hyperion SciFi" (no plain "Neo Launcher") and the first thing that I notice with that is the "contains ads" flag.

Nova, meanwhile, comes up consistently among searches for launchers, and up until when I stopped using it provided a good mix of functionality and customization (ad-free, and without sideloading). It's disappointing to learn it's run by a company that may be likely to harvest data

It also made it a lot easier to migrate between devices, and I'm the earlier data had features that are common now but not so much then.

I dropped it due to crashing issues with a new phone. Seems a good thing that I did

If you want pretty good color screen, try the Boox Tab Mini C

And honestly, I've been using Excel for work stuff a lot lately (no OO or I'd use that) and it fucks up a lot and in maddening ways. Click a cell at the bottom of your multi-page sheet "Oh, you must have been trying to click A5 so I'm going to scroll way the fuck up here"

Copy-paste from other (even MS) apps also sometimes does weird shit

In theory, yes. In practice of they found some sort of exploit that allowed this I'd 100% not be surprised if Meta took advantage of it. Facebook app is malware

No I read the title as Mozilla's CEO being tied to brokers.

A better title might be "Mozilla just ditched a privacy partner whose CEO was found to have ties with data brokers"

Just do a "RetroPie" install on Linux. It was originally built for Pi's but works fine on 64-bit Debian/Ubuntu etc

Oh, they'll try, but that just means trolling needs to get more creative, like certain Amazon reviews

Also, the fact that technology makes it easier to actually collect data on stuff like depression etc and people are more encouraged to speak about it, as opposed to previous "it's life, man up and take it" generations' attitude...

Yeah, I figure it does two ways

1. They get called out quickly and result in a bunch of shitposts or actively blasting the product

2. They block posting which makes it obvious they're ads and get little too no engagement anyhow

Most people don't get that this is even possible until it bites them in the ass like this.

Certainly my own parents wouldn't think to try and find a "dumb" TV in this market or to not connect the damn thing to the internet like it tells you when you power it on. They bought a TV that lets them watch Netflix.

By the same token, I don't except my fucking microwave to suddenly require that I accept a ToS in order to nuke a potato, or to suddenly start showing me ads in increasing amounts a year or more after I bought and paid for it.

Users aren't the problem. Shitty companies and a lack of strong legislation against this (or legislators being for it) are the problem. Nobody should ever be presented with a 50 page ever-changing EULA for a product they've paid for to access common functionality.

They're not a problem. They're not even naive. They're just not savvy on all things about a given technology especially when it comes up aspects of legal arguments on such.
