  • I have devices with Android 4.4 still working smoothly. All these apple anecdotes that think Android just blows up after a few years is a shitty cope at best. There are also probably more old Android phones surviving in the wild considering how affordable they are and usually more repairable.

    And guess what? without the OEM updates and playstore not having compatible apps usable anymore, there’s still troves of opensource apps and development going on that make it still viable as an alternative usage like media consumption, storage, security camera, and more.

    Unlike Apple, where you’re just bound to a single store and no sideloading.

    Android OEMs do suck at supporting their devices, is bloated but that doesn’t mean they all commit mass suicide after few years as sheeples think.




  • my $100 Walmart tablet lasts all week with light usage, I doubt this could compare

    probably not in a first release, but Android is convulted piece of shit compared to linux desktop environments. Not to mention Google’s and/or OEMs built-in system apps running 24/7 guzzling all your data in the background.

    In time, I guess it would beat out in performance and efficiency but lose in the availability of applications, same as desktop linux.

    Why is it that there is always an off topic highly upvoted deflection going on when topics that are being covered up by media pops up?

    Can’t you for a moment not sway from the topic at hand or are you just one of those who are quietly trying to dissuade the narrative that the genocide going on to something like I don’t like who you’re listening to.

    Stay on facts posted in the current topic and stop trying to removed and moan about something completely different. If the poster above posts something is debunked, shit on that comment.



  • I’m sensing some Israeli astroturfing going on. Many people are seeing Israel for what it is from since last year. In all this, Israel could use some diversion of attention.

    And what better place to concentrate your efforts on other than the rise in islamophoia along with racism in current events. Help dehumanize your enemy abroad. Although the killer wasn’t even a muslim, they are still being targeted, even after the facts came out.

    Seems very suspicious to me and Israel isn’t new to brigading and astroturfing. They in-fact have state-run programmes for it.

    yea. but they get to claim like they fund the opensource world. like come on… stop posting fake funding claims on an anonymous forum and hire yourself a developer team if you’re so invested in this.

    But whaa… developers salary aren’t funded by your $2 dollar donations, even with 100s of donations. oh geez… who woulda thought.
