UK inhabitant here. Is being invited to someone’s house a casual thing in the US? I don’t think I’ve ever been invited by someone who isn’t a close friend.

There are a lot of these, many are very cursed

It’s always funny seeing users doing their cargo cult dances when troubleshooting stuff

Shocked Pikachu face when other stuff starts breaking because you ‘optimised’ 500 settings

I wanna throw in my 2 cents as I’m considering getting an iPhone after only ever using Android

Recently I’ve started noticing how much disrespect for your time and attention I’ve experienced on Android. It’s not so much Android itself, but the ecosystem around it:

• A layer of bloatware from most major manufacturers

• The Play Store and Samsung store trying their hardest to sell you some bullshit app with the most obnoxious clickbait banner.

• My Samsung phone forcing me to install some random apps I don’t want with a prompt that I can’t dismiss.

• Google or Samsung (I can’t remember which) trying to get me to agree to personalised ads by presenting it as if it’s a ‘we’ve updated our terms’ type prompt.

• Google ads being generally annoying.

And more general malware-like behaviour trying to sell me shit. I don’t care.

I’m not my grandma who’s just going to blindly fall for whatever slight of hand that gets them 10c when I install some borderline malware app, it’s just annoying. I just want a phone that’s reasonably powerful, and works.

Android itself is great, and I’ve been able to improve the experience by using an ad blocker and f-droid where possible, but it’s rough. I can’t install a custom ROM as my banking apps don’t work if I do :////

I hate looking up to Apple as a solution here as they’re do a bunch of shitty things

This is the highest quality version of this meme I’ve ever seen

Are you sure you aren’t a 14th century peasant?
