every five seconds, youtube asks, "ARE YOU STILL LISTENING TO THIS TRACK?" forty-five minutes after you've last touched your phone, you're in the kitchen, and you hear a ruckus from upstairs: youtube, out of nowhere, decides to just suddenly resume a youtube track at full volume, on the speaker and this is what just happened now. that i am in the kitchen, and i hear a ruckus, and i just think: I FUCKING HATE THESE DUMB-ASS FONDLESLABS I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THAT RUCKUS IS and sorry, this just doesn't make any sense to me |

i mean, it does, i guess, it makes business sense. just not decent human sense that prodding me endlessly to see if i'm still there proves engagement (for advertising) and that sneakily banging through a few tracks before petering out after "are you still listening" again simulates further "engagement" (for advertising) should people just have their phone on silent. like, you're pumping through a few youtube views in your sleep. youtube says: hey, we showed your ads: pay us. all it costs you is spam mileage on your data plan (30, 60mb a vid if it has stupid flashy visualizations) to give a bunch of trash vids undeserved views. and the day i pick it up and find it playing a mr. beast vid is the day i throw the fucking thing in a river. that i was asking, like, this thing is getting old, what's good now, and i heard: "probably just get the latest iThing" but they don't let you into your own shit anymore. everything i've had last few years has been an unlocked, rooted android device and i can get a fucking shell on it at worst and from there i am enough of a pain that i can always get what i want out of it, eventually. not so with iThing, it seems. grave times indeed |

this is another one of my threads, hell, who cares. so on the tail end of, "iOS is useless locked down trash and despite it," i give you: APPLE: "THINK DIFFERENT" and then stop thinking and still be using what is now almost 40 years later. Option + W = ∑ (sum) killed it in the 90s but now you're stuck with your quirky bespoke keybindings and they are embarrassing turn in 2023. your mobile OS is worse: it is a cage |

it kind of feels like it might make more sense to just have a laptop, and many of them, you can just put in a sim card these days? seems like more hope of control, in any case |
