They've got some Motorola thing that was an upgrade over whatever Samsung A series they had before. Both newer phones than mine, I'm plugging along on my dad's old hand me down samsung galaxy s7 edge. It's slow as shit but their phone is even slower! It really seems like every advantage in computational improvement in every internet connected device just gets eaten up by more tracking bullshit and more unoptimized apps and it ends up being clunky and shit again

I need to get SOMETHING because the fucking NERDS who run everything have decided my device is too old to run their bullshit apps. Like I had 10 texts from a pharmacy yesterday telling me to use their app for everything. Ah, but guess what i can't do

If i spend hundreds of precious dollars on something i intend to have another 10 year long usage lifespan and it's even worse performance wise than what i got now im gonna scream. And post annoying complaints about how my own lack of consumer savvy fucked me

If you can, disable all animations in the accessibility settings and the developer options--makes the phone feel 1000% more responsive

I disable as many animations and flashing colors as I can, because it’s healthier for my brain
