This is the consequence of wrapping everything in glossy plastics and dumbed down UI for decades. People don't want to learn, and even if they do it's all hidden away behind blobs and bloats.

I wanna switch to FOSS alternatives but swiping is either funky (FUTO) or not available for now (Floris). I ended up downgrading gboard to an older version since all this emoji stuff (especially the bitmoji sticker nonsense) really grinds my gears.

Is this not the onion? Am I hallucinating from smoking weed or some weird shit? What the fuck?

By extension, anything that's not self hosted means 3rd party actors snooping. American, Chinese, whoever happens to operate that machine.

I don't want to mix tech with politics, but what in the actual fuck?

Well confined in their instances for now. Wait until .ml and the Grad starts overflowing.
