WhatsApp notifications in the middle of the night were the final straw. I switched those off – and every other alert – and it helped my wellbeing, sleep and parenting
I appreciate that Android changed from an opt-out to an opt-in model when it comes to notification permissions, but it’s still not enough.
I can’t believe the mobile OS world became so much worse than actual computing. What a corporate hell scape.
Tbh not surprised. In 2012 I got my first smartphone, it ran Android. At first I thought it was just like a PC. Within half an hour I was fed up at how useless it was.
Can’t even open a terminal window and apt install apache, what a load of junk.
Tried a pinephone and that is almost perfect but it struggled with SMS. If that was more reliable I think it would be the perfect phone.
Same. My first "smart"phone was a Nokia N95 and I had so much excitement back then
Then I realized: hey man, I can’t actually do anything that I need to do on this thing…
But at least it takes really nice photos?
