Thank you. That is the day when I’ll finally stop using Reddit. I never have thought that bots write that realistically, so thank you for proving it.

Pure perfection, I love this meme with every bit of my soul

I haven’t heard of it! Thanks for the suggestion! :)

Ahhhh, that makes sense! Thank you, I got very confused - you clarified it a lot :)

Sorry, that’s now how I meant my original post - I just thought that I really like SPD already and was interested in what PD makes better/ what features SPD missed. I in no way wanted to say that PD was bad, just was excited to know what PD made better :)

SPD is already pretty good though, why is PD better?

Do the Fossify versions already have new features? I’ll still using Simple Mobile Tools from F-Droid, without ads, and am asking if it makes sense to download Fossify apps already

The urge to comment “I use Arch btw” is overwhelming

Yes, absolutely. But many cheap devices are relatively data-friendly, and many expensive are data collection machineries. While there is obviously a correlation, it definitely isn’t a causality, and I feel strange breaking it down like that.

You know, you’re right. I’ve deleted my main comment - I think this topic cannot be broken down that easily. While I am concerned that privacy laws are often ridiculed by big companies, my comment was very classist. So thanks for calling me out, I feel weird about it now.

True. I am sorry for not specifying it, I should’ve done it. Of course if someone gets a cheap 100$ phone out of necessity, it is very weird of me to judge this person.

I mean, good idea ;) P. S.: I’ve yet to meet a Linux guy who wouldn’t help out another Linux person. Well, admittedly I’m the only Linux guy, but I’d help Linux people just because of principle ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ehm, two days for me ;)

Yeee, I use the F-Droid version, so they’re clean.

Still a shame though…

RIP Simple mobile apps. You were amazing while you lasted.

Can you link one of them you consider credible? I’ve never heard of that, tbh.

I think you raise a good point, I agree. Especially that the problem is very systematic.

Okay, makes sense - I fully agree. Just wanted to clarify :)

I dont think so, that isn’t necessarily the case. I think people in capitalist economies can also contribute out of their own free will, because they have fun with the project. To put it so that they only do it not to starve is, in my opinion, too harsh. I do lots of things in this economy because I have fun with them, not because I dont want to starve. However, I think that of course the aspect “I need food” is always a factor and an influence. Just very often not the only one.
