Maybe it’s just reflective of the mood of the country

It’s what caused all those children to go missing

On that last bit. I agree with you, but people are getting paid to produce, and since they probably just know angular, they use angular everywhere.

I’m still waiting on porn to pull the rug and take away my good times

Yeah fuck randos. They smell.

It’s a real shame the eu is doing this. I’ve agreed with most of their policies recently regarding IT and phones.

I don’t agree with that stupid cookie shit though.

Then xp to vista happened and it looked pretty but was unusable. Then 7 came out and it solved all the BS and was a relief. Then 8 came out and it looked pretty but was unusable.

Then it’s Xiaomi, OPPO (and it’s subbrands), Motorola and maybe Nokia which are all just “cheaper alternatives” or as I think people think of them “android”

Then you have your niche phones like fairphone etc.

I see more tv ads for pixels than I do for galaxy phones.

That was back when 3d TV’s were still a thing, though, so not crazy

As an app developer some people just get hard for an app and don’t know why they would want one.

It’s rarely some big plan just an ego thing
