"Sounds ghastly"

tape measuring app trying to charge my poor dad TEN DOLLARS PER WEEK. To measure with his phone camera.

Idiots, savages, idiots!

Heh, I like the "I kill you now" human mode in this. The developers don't realise we have our own antibullshit software. Evolution playing out in app survival.

Too much fuckery? Off at the wall !

Put your foot on the power switch down till it stops whirring.

I hate that for a lot of these apps there’s no way to turn off these kinds of ad notifications without stopping the real notifications you want from the app.

Do it then. Replace the app with pen and paper. I think the app is calling your bluff.

Recently downloaded a "cast" app because Miracast doesn't work on GrapheneOS. On first launch, I got 3 consecutive full screen video ads followed by a popup to "subscribe" to their paid service. Next, another popup to rate them 5* in google play store. Note that at this point, I haven't even reached the main screen of the app... You know, to actually try it and see if it works.

Uninstalled that garbage and gave it the 1* rating it deserves.

Seriously, I'm so sick and tired of these "modern" apps which don't even have the decency to offer a good quality paid version. $8/mo for a stupid utility I use maybe a few times a year? Who tf do you think you are?

Using apps on GrapheneOS, I also get notified when they use the play integrity API... I find it insulting when apps like Reddit attempt to access that... Seriously, you're just an online forum. Why tf would you care about whether my phone is rooted or not?

psycho emoji?

My tablet decided it was going to send me reminders that my exorbitant phone or cable bill was due, and it took a lot of figuring to turn that shit off. I know when you rob me blind, Bell Canada, you also email me.
