50/50 for me. Last update didn’t shut down, one before that did.

If you’re using Firefox, install uBlock as well. You can also add the YouTube website as a shortcut to your desktop.

Updates only make products worse, not better.

I didn’t fully drop Reddit but I use it significantly less.

I’ve heard of people printing out charts, then cutting out the part they wanted to calculate an integral of, then weighing the paper.

I got a note 10 pro as well.

First thing I did after I got it was to install LineageOS. It’s so much better.

I’ve even had one tell me that he and Pence were the two prophets of the End Times in Revelations.

In a way they are

Which is why the first thing I do when I get a new Android phone is to install LineageOS.

paying for piracy

Lol

Hard for it to be otherwise, considering it affects almost everything.

I’d rather focus on publicly traded companies as the main root of evil before dealing with capitalism itself. Private companies tend to not be so destructive - many are fine staying where they are, instead of growing infinitely like cancer, eating everything around them.

Because they know it will sell.

They don’t need to make a good Star Wars movie because they don’t need to onboard new fans. They make them only to squeeze out existing fans who will pay regardless of quality.

The new Matrix movie was actually a masterpiece. The Wachowski’s didn’t want to revive the franchise since they considered it complete - but the studio insisted that if they didn’t make it, the studio would get it done itself. So they accepted the offer, and made a movie so bad that it killed any attempts at reviving the franchise for good. The Matrix is now dead, and it will stay that way (hopefully).

I guess Star Wars is too strong to kill even with multiple shit movies.

Besides that, for how long can you squeeze the same universe? I’d rather have something new.

iPhones are expensive. I just buy a Xiaomi phone with good components and crap software, unlock the bootloader, install good software (LineageOS). Does everything I need from a phone.
