I totally get that, same here.

But ultimately you can’t just blame people. There is literally an entire industry trying to sell you cheap carbs and fat. Down to the sound a bag of chips makes when you open it (this is not a joke).

So on one hand you have evolution, your body still being stuck in the past where food was scarce. On the other hand you have too much food and it’s highly engineered to be addicting on purpose.

It’s no surprise most people are going to lose that challenge.

That’s not unpopular, that’s based.

What is actually your problem with Android FF? I use it every day on my phone.

Yes, it’s not as snappy as Chrome, but besides that everything works perfectly. In addition to that: Fully fledged ad-blocker like on desktop, one big reason why I no longer use Chrome on my phone.

At first I never used it, always thought typing with two fingers was the fastest (and actually got me the result I wanted).

Nowadays I swipe 99% of the time on my Android phone and it is a lot faster. Especially when your phone learns the words you like to use. It’s not perfect of course and you will have to correct some words down the line (it still sometimes refuses to swipe “Fuck”), but overall I’m faster with it.

Also super comfy for long and complex words when you just roughly swipe it and get the full word written there without errors.

Overall though I prefer to touch type on a proper keyboard on the PC, that’s still the fastest :)

That’s a weird question, you are comparing a desktop OS with a phone OS (except you are talking about Windows phones, but I don’t think you are?).

All it takes to kill your Windows installation is double clicking a random .exe file (and being unlucky that Windows doesn’t warn you about this particular file). And nope, if it is a custom program your antivirus won’t detect it either. Every time I hear of a company getting a crypto locker on their systems it was over a Windows PC (mostly by email). I haven’t heard of your average company getting compromised by a phone yet (but those phones usually don’t have network access to shared drives…).

Android is relatively locked down, a lot more than Windows. Even if someone sends you malware per email, there is no easy way to execute it on your phone. It’s also not true that you can just install a rogue APK in two clicks, you have to do the following steps:

1. Open the Settings app on your Android device.
2. In the Settings menu, tap Apps.
3. Tap Special app access (or Advanced > Special app access).
4. Tap Install unknown apps.
5. Select an app to use to install an APK file—your browser and file management apps are the best option here.
6. Tap the Allow from this source slider to allow APK files to be installed via that app.

Definitely not something that happens by accident :)

Overall for your average user I’d say Android is safer.

You take away power users and people fed up with Reddit and the casual user who doesn’t care is left over.

If you look at blackout votes it was usually around 4 to 1 in favor.

During and shortly after the blackouts there were a ton of upset casual users calling the mods cunts, the blackouts don’t help, stop holding other users hostage, give me back my content!!!

Those users don’t care about third party apps, mod tooling and so on, they just want to browse the site. These angry users got the loudest while protestors took a break or left for the Fediverse.
