I weep for my newborn, whose reality will be marred by so much fakeness

, and so the enshitification of what once was a great phone continues.

Stuff like this always reminds me of the personalized ads in Mass Effect (like here: https://youtu.be/hMdIypwM2KI ). That game has accurately depicted the future.

Minority Report, the bad parts.

Edit: glad I'm using a deGoogled Android phone, can't trust manufacturers not to enshitificate.

I remind everyone that Google invested not once, but twice in this company, for a total of $350 million

Oh good, another reason not to buy Samsung anything. I already just didn't like their UI.

Someone at Samsung submitted a user story only to troll, and it worked "I need you to drain my phone battery and data plan for ads when I dont even look at it"

Fascinating stuff.

I do think there will eventually be pushback against the current oligarch model of technology, but it is likely I will be much older when it happens.

Just the nature of history. We are pretty early in the information age.
