No shock here at all... This is why we need affordable Linux phones. There is a nonzero chance that my next phone could be a basic dumb phone that I do nothing with but the bare basics.

    Microsoft and the like are doing a great job to prove they don't have to release anything quality and people will still throw them buckets of money. It's wild to watch, but hey it's better they stay there than come to Linux in the masses to encourage the enshitification of stuff that's still good.

    People like him are why gatekepeeping hobbies isn't necessarily a bad thing. Once the flood of normies comes in, they outnumber the passionate ones and it all goes downhill from there.

    I see more and I become more aware, which leads me to do research on competing brands if it's something I want.

    If I only saw ads for GM I'd wonder why they suck so much that they need to push so many ads for people to buy their vehicles. My comfort with a brand/product relies in the experience I've had with them along with word of mouth from friends and reviews for it.

    The world would be a much better place if everyone was autistic, probably lol

    Yup, doesn't matter where the data centres are - a contract is only as trustworthy as the person or company you signed it with. Throwing all your government and medical and everything else docs on somebody else's computer with a "trust me bro" privacy statement seems like a recipe for disaster.
