It’s my goddamn motherfucking mobile data and MY PHONE. I should be able to use it however I want. My wifi went down because the greedy, cunt-faced shitbags at Comcast stole taxpayer subsidies to enrich themselves instead of actually providing the service we’re paying for. I tried to switch to a mobile hotspot and my phone...

Since a few folks seem unaware of this, I’m posting anew for visibility.

I have about 5 different apps installed right now, and while I plan to test them all out, curious what people’s conclusions are thus far.

I can’t believe some of the points Linus made against the Fairphone, especially given he’s onboard with the same compromises for the Framework laptop. 🤭

If I buy the best that either company has to offer (Pixel 8 pro or S23 Ultra)...

I’m using a Pixel 6 Pro right now, and I’m looking around to see if there are any good phones. However, I have heard that there are ads in the newer flagship phones (Samsung, Xiaomi).

I didn’t even realize Qualcomm removed the built in FM radio from their chips. Huh.

They really didn’t have to redesign a text box. Please stop reinventing the wheel. I don’t need another pop up in my life.

Two years after the Fairphone 4 and following the release of some audio products like the Fairbuds XL, the Dutch company is back with a new repairable phone: the Fairphone 5. It looks and feels a lot like the Fairphone 4, but it adds choice upgrades across the board, making it the most modular and also most modern-looking...

This toggle is annoying because what was once 1 press to turn on BT is now 2. It gets me every day.

Reddit users thevincentasteroid and MMD3_ posted about an auto-playing video ad (with sound) on the home screen. The ad is for Chicken Tender Wraps from Carl’s Jr. When it begins auto-playing, it pushes all the other UI elements out of focus and goes almost full-screen, returning to the home screen after it has played through...

I’m using a stock Samsung Galaxy 8 phone right now (with Android 10) and I disabled the YouTube app. I was basically sick of its s***. Since then, I never sign in to the app/site, and so may aspects of using the site are much better now....

Surprise....

LibreTube - uses Piped as video source by default. Subscriptions and playlists can be created, all without actually interacting with YouTube....
