Complaining and doing nothing about it doesn’t fix anything and it even makes things worse. Manufacturers love to hear a customer resign to complacency even when they’re dissatisfied. It shows them just how far they can push their users around for profit.

"you shouldn't complain, just do something else"

"manufacturers love when their customers stop complaining and just do something else instead"

my brother in christ android and IOS have a combined market share of over 99% the only alternative is this wonderful little thing called the pinephone (and it's few friends that exist) which are, marginally better. Because they're still under the whims of the hardware manufacturers of the chips they use. (which fun fact, produce chips for android devices)

Unless you are unironically recommending that i start a hardware design company rivaling arm, which is not dogshit like qualcomm, and actually produces hardware for a phone company, likely pine, but they might not even do what i want because they are a separate company entirely after all. I'm not really sure what your proposed solution here is. What i can tell you, is that i have zero plans to buy a phone, ever. Maybe a satellite GPS communication device so i don't die in the fucking woods or something.

Whenever you see an opportunity always prove to the company why the things you care about could make them money or help them gain more users weather that’s voting with your wallet, creating better alternatives, or rallying people up to peacefully boycott and or protest.

ah yes, good think i didn't complain about issues i had that bothered me or anything. I swear to god between the trolls and bots on this platform (and reddit) they only spend their time doing one of two things, politics, or yelling at people about mobile phones because apparently they have nothing better to be doing. No shade to you personally, unless you are trolling, but it's one of the very few areas that i have such annoying problems with, that people consistently reply to with "haha, dumbass, get fucked"

I don't know what's eating you up inside but it feels beyond any sort of reasoning. I never liked it when people twisted my words. Were practically saying the same thing. I'm just saying hit them where it hurts, their bottom line. You are free to complain just do something productive with it.

I'd recommend a hike or maybe go rent a kayak and soak up a little nature. You seem so angry all the time it's not good for you.

mostly people like you posting stupid shit in response to the stuff i say.

take any guesses as to why i have opinions on things ever. I'll wait.

i'm not angry all that often, really only half the time i'm on lemmy.
