I use iphone and I’m not using any of those features.
Using iphone because I’m tired of seeing ads about something I typed on my keyboard and that’s only nice looking mobile system that don’t steal my keyboard input and pass that to advertisers.
I feel old reading this.
I have faceid, siri, whatever they put ai into something that tries to steal from me disabled forever.
I have disabled icloud backups, keychains and any shit they send to cloud and I think it’s important.
I’m waiting for zoom out, make everything 2 times or even 4 times smaller.
I think I’m not gonna live long enough to see zoom out. I only see zoom in like accessibility is working out only for blind and disabled people, so as always fuck up smart people and do technology for idiots and dumbass.
Ability to zoom out screen is a game changer.
When websites started to force mobile versions I stopped using mobile to visit websites.
Literally who makes this big ugly shit up ?
Wait couple of years and you won’t have any button but AI will tell you who to call, who to speak to, who you need to write and about what. You’re smart tools enthusiasts. You would become one in hands of corporation that will own your thoughts, your speech, your image and would create your desires no matter you like them or not.
And they would make your life miserable and say here buy this to feel happy and you won’t feel happy anymore but keep buying those things.
I’m to old for that shit. I read the shit about technology these days and I can’t wait to quit and move somewhere where technology don’t exist.
It’s invasive, it’s abusing privacy rights, constitution and ability of free speech.
Fuck that shit. -
@vane i dunno man, you sound like a massive hypocrite to me.
If you're really anxious about privacy, you'd just run some custom android image, that doesn't have all that bullshit like grapheneOS. and not have tiktok or any other social media bullshit on there anyways. -
@thebiochemic been there, rooting phone, building kernels and even whole aosp and then one day I woke up seeing how much time I spent maintaining my mobile phone. I don't want to go this path again if I don't have to and I don't see I have to do it right now.
Just found the best dev ever.

Why not! 😂
Can't wait for this to happen
iOS is rotting my soul.
I've been a user of iPhone for 6 years now. For the first couple years, I wasnt really mindful of software I use, or I guess I didnt really care. As long as it did the bare minimum, I.e. bank app, call, text, browse, watch youtube vids, I didnt really care. However, in the last couple years, ive become very interested in tech and have worked on small developer projects, spent a lot of time coding in my free time, found really inspiring software and apps on my regular computer that just blow my mind on how advanced they are, and how I, some dumb guy with internet access, can just download it on my PC and use it.
This led me into a kind of software honeymoon phase, where I created a shiny new Github account and started exploring what other cool tools are just out there, available to me for free. My software honeymoon was spent on the beaches and resorts of the open-source software ecosystem. Exploring the gem-bearing caves and beautiful forests of anything from free open-source OCR programs(I needed it to convert my dads manuscript from scanned PDF .jpeg's to actual UTF8 text) to open-source RGB lighting/keymapping software to escape the memory-and-CPU-hungry(and most likely advertising-ID-interested) proprietary software that comes with the brand of mouse/keyboard/controller/etc.
It was like I was a kid exploring Disneyland for the first time or something. But then... then... I got off my computer. Picked up my phone to check notifications. Ew, tinder is blowing up notification center with marketing shit. I go to settings. Notification settings. Tinder's at the bottom so I just want to use a search bar instead of scrolling. There's no search bar. Minor inconvenience. Dark mode isnt dark enough for me. I guess thats just too damn bad, because for the next two hours, I'll have to figure it out by messing with accessibility settings. Time for bed, and I'm just getting plum tired of having to turn on my alarms every night for work the next morning. So I used the 'Automations' app to do it for me. For the next two weeks, at the time specified, 'There was an error running your automation' until I just delete the automation. Browsing through the FaceID settings, I see 'Attention Aware Features'. Cool, maybe now my phone won't automatically dim the screen when im in the middle of reading notifications on my lock screen. Haha, nope still does it. After turning on my alarms, I go to sleep. I wake up an hour late for work because those handy 'Attention Aware Features' silenced my alarm immediately because I fell asleep watching a youtube video.
I could go on and on. Its actually making me feel depressed typing this on my phone, fighting with Apple's primitive autocorrect and annoying implementation of Swype to type.
