Probably the same asshats that enjoy their Digital Wellbeing app, if I had to guess. Of which, there are a metric fuck ton of them apparently.

They’re leaving the US market. What the hell do they care?

Might as well start a online petition, because that’s how effective this will be.

And yet nobody I’ve ever known plays this thing or even cares about it’s existence lol.

Yeah, no. This is definitely a Reddit thing. Folks don’t actually own these in the capacity that reddit would have you believe.

It exists. Some folks game on it. They are the minority of a minority, unfortunately. I’ll be laughed out of the room but in my experience, these things are super niche. Perhaps your experience differs and every other buddy you have owns one.

Not around here lol.

Just tried Morphe, it’s basically Revanced with a more streamlined patching/installation. I like it a lot for that alone. But I don’t think it’s replacing my Revanced until it gets the CPU usage in check. Both phones I ran it on were getting warm after 10 mins of continuous full-screen video.

Revanced never warmed my phones up.

I’ll give it a while, keep up with the development. Wait it out a bit and try it out again. I’m hopeful.

Well there goes my weekend. Should inform my extended family.

Exactly. You get it.

Limiting the data being thrown out the window is doable. You’ll see folks trying to “De-Google” which is understandable. But you’re effectively changing the entire way you use the internet. So if that’s something you’re comfortable with, there’s that.

Aaaaand…

You’re still giving hoards of data away.

Until you realize how this is possible, you and me cannot have this conversation.

You’re willingly giving your data away as soon as you buy a smartphone. Just using FF and UBO isn’t doing anything to help that.

I’m baffled as to how you seem to believe these two things somehow are making your personal data untouchable. There is no reality that exists where you aren’t giving up an enormous amount of personal data.

Those things only help make the web less annoying.

Where in the world did you get that impression

Let me break it down for you.

BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE BETA SOFTWARE

I don’t believe I’m required to define for what Beta software is like to use. So instead I’m going to drop one more line about ONEUI 7 feeling unrefined, unpolished and lacking in consistency throughout the WHOLE damn OS.

Why are you way out there in left field?

Good Lord.

Let me ask you a question.

Which ones do you might think I’m using?

The US

It’s worse that Android 12 and that’s sayin a lot. It feels like beta software that was shoved out the door. You can tell the devs are iOS users.

There are so many things that need refining in the UI department that it’s actually amazing they released it. I do not understand what they thought they had accomplished with this update.

It’s kind of embarrassing, tbh.

Apps are easy. The UI you interact with a thousand times a day isn’t some fuckin nothin burger.

I’m just baffled how anyone uses a stock launcher on ANY version of Android, from ANY era, on ANY device.

I have not used a stock launcher of any Samsung phone ever in over 15 yrs because they are all shit. And if it’s not total shit, nxt yrs OS update will undoubtedly MAKE IT SHIT.

Rinse and repeat every year. God I feel sorry for you people. Having to have your settings erased and retrain your muscle memory every OS update. That isn’t “fun”. It isn’t “fresh”. It’s annoying AF.

TouchWiz going to ONEUI didn’t magically make me fall in love with it. Stock launchers are garbage, always have been. Especially with each subsequent update.

“Accidentally”

I love how they take us for 3 yr olds lol

Don’t sleep on Google Services.

If you’re not an iPhone user, those “services” are what keeps Google from killing Android entirely. Waaaayyyy too much data collection to just brush your shoulders off over.
