It sounds like the real complaint is that it's different.

Because yeah it's certainly not more toxic. That's laughable. My interactions here have been overwhelmingly better than on reddit.

And the other complaints boil down to "it's small and new, yuck"... Yeah that's a good thing usually. There have been terrible attacks with CSAM but people are handling it and luckily I've never seen a single image like that. On reddit it was not uncommon to see mutilated humans without wanting to even though there was far more time and resources available to prevent that

This is a feature, not a bug

Who the absolute hell is doing this? I've had very few packages stolen in my decades of experience. Maybe, 1 or 2 out of hundreds?...

It's Google's verbiage

I'm kind of confused how this is so controversial or unexpected. You're using commercial software for free, ad support should be expected. It definitely sounded like and was confirmed to be out of the dev's hands, it's Google's ad platform. If you can spend $3.50 USD to remove ads it's not a concern.

I love free software but people also need to feed their families. This guy chose software as a way to do that. Being opposed to ads is great but either cough up the 3.50 for an app you'll likely use thousands of hours or don't. Don't shame the guy for allowing it to also be used "free" with ads.

China simps will find a way to say this is also exactly like what America would do

Oh look your pr and legal team wrote some words that no one gives a fuck about

According to republicans Europe is hell on Earth tho

You can already replace your own iPhone battery without any technical expertise.

Alright China shills, you can stop changing the subject to how Google and the US are the "same".

The troops advanced into central parts of Beijing on the city's major thoroughfares in the early morning hours of 4 June and engaged in bloody clashes with demonstrators attempting to block them, in which many people – demonstrators, bystanders, and soldiers – were killed. Estimates of the death toll vary from several hundred to several thousand, with thousands more wounded.[15][16][17][18][19][20]

If you lived in China you'd likely not know about this, since people who talk about it go to prison.

Yeah the US is exactly like this so let's not talk about the Chinese government being awful to their citizens /s

I'm going to guess you're one of the people who defends tiktok and compares it to every other social media app by saying the US government is basically the same as the Chinese government

Apple is honestly garbage. This would have been news 5 years ago. Now it's just sad.
