Honestly, it’s not crazy to me. I am not as rigid about those things but I avoid them pretty hard in my own way. I don’t buy stuff with a launcher either. Likewise haven’t played rdr2. I block every ad I can. I don’t pay for streaming unless it is completely ad free and don’t habe any regular tv services. If ads are at a theater (i usually only go to ones that just don’t play ads) I won’t wait outside (gotta get my good seat), but I will ignore them and dick around on my phone till they stop.

Odd, because I installed from apk quick and easy. Making an account doesn’t work though.

I’ve tried 3 separate times to sign up for loops. The latest was actually last night. Shit fails every time.

Fellow WP enthusiast here, bought a wp7 on day 1. MS just couldn’t keep from fucking it up. Such a great opportunity with great phones, and soooo much more responsive than the androids at the time. But they couldn’t draw in the apps they needed, pushed to the wrong group of people targeting business types weirdly, and then they just kept ruining it with the updates. I miss the early WP days, and music wise I loved zune, it was so much nicer to use than the garbage that was itunes, but once wp got to 10 it started to lose a lot of the charm. I held on to the bitter end and then a little after. So fucking depressing.

Last time I used it is probably close to a decade or more now and I had the same experience.

Nuance isn’t allowed on the internet. Not just lemmy. Reddit was the same. Forums are the same. Hell if there was a forum dedicated to nuance, it wouldn’t allow nuance. Just pretend everyone is highly autistic and you will land more often than not.
