  • In many places WhatsApp is the defacto standard unfortunately…

    If its not that its something like Viber, or badoo or telegram or some other nightmare service…

    If you have kids there is also not really getting away from it. Friends of mine have never had Facebook accounts until they had kids because the local football team or boyscout or whatever only uses Facebook to communicate…

    I agree you can live your life comfortably without meta services, but sometimes, like in the example above, you dont have any alternatives…

    You can’t keep harassing other parents to forward you messages or ask the team to print any messages specifically for you. Not having a Facebook account just gets “its easy to create” responses rather than “completely understandable, here’s our private matrix server to stay in the loop”.



  • Can’t say the android phones I’ve used have slowed down over the years ( mainly one plus ). I always stayed away from Samsung and the sort because they add too much bloat.

    Not to mention that an update changed the power button to “activate bixby” and the constant harassing OD the Samsung app.

    I bought the latest Samsung tablet and its underwhelming compared to the precious Samsung tablet I had. At this point I wish I had bought an iPad instead :/



  • Yeah it is kind of like the “trust, but verify” paradigm. It will likely generate useful code or a very good starting point, but you should always check if it actually does what you expect it to.

    You can’t trust them blindly. But They’re very helpful in your day to day tasks.
