Pet Peeves

[notabitail]

wait until you remember that any android is at a firmware level spying and sending your data straight to google. they did make android ya know. and apple is just as bad. now there is a piece of magic that lets you have the same android experience without that data harvesting. only works on google pixel phones as of now, as they are quite literally made for alternate OSs

Not all Android devices are "firmware level spying" or sending my data to Google. Huawei phones probably only send it straight to the CCP instead of Google.

Google develops Android, but as far as I'm aware they don't put spyware in AOSP.

I'd think Apple is at least a bit better than a Pixel on its stock system.

I opted to not use GrapheneOS on mine. I went with LineageOS instead. With GApps. Yah, I know, Google data collection, but it works. And when Google cuts off my support I should keep getting Android versions (unlike GrapheneOS).

Pixel phones aren't made for alternatives anymore. Initially it was Google's "This is what Android phones should be, minimum", to Google's iPhone. Now they don't even put out the files that made it easy for ROM developers to develop custom ROMs for Pixel any longer. I wouldn't be shocked if they locked the bootloader as a next step. Pixels are now a consumer smartphone that competes on a level with Apple and Smasnug for your pocket. They've got my pocket, but it's very possible mine could lose that space or share it with iPhone.

Unfortunately on my phone I dont like youtube ads so I use a wonderful piece of software that lets me watch youtube without analytics or ads or an account. I dont think google will be kind to externally installed apps that keep money from them. To each his own though, but I will never stand for such a massive privacy violation

I've never tried Newpipe. I did use YouTube Revanced for a bit, but figured I'd be better off keeping it simple and just using the browser I like instead.

YouTube ads have gotten so bad compared to 2018 I can't stand them any more. Some were nasty then but they're just icky now.

Splinters.
Dolphins.
Passive aggressive people.
People that say they will pay you back but don't.
Bureaucracy.
Color specific uniforms.
Ridiculous large fake eyelashes.
When I measure something and it moves slightly so I have to measure it 5 more times
One freezer handle that nabs me daily
People that get offended by everything
Expensive groceries
Roadwork

I havent watched a youtube ad in forever and I couldnt be happier with that.
I have an instagram account I never open unless someone messages me, and about a week ago someone DID message me. I opened the app, and the first thing I saw was a full 18+ explicit porn app ad, complete with the porn in the ad. I havent opened it since, like I was gonna anyway, but I cant delete it cuz most of my friends are only on IG

must add @notabitail I see you are a fellow man of culture, with that Louis Rossman quote

Peeve: when I bite my lip. It swells up and gets in the way and keeps getting bit, over and over again. And it HURTS!

Stupid lip.
