Every time i see an arm emulation handheld that uses android instead of linux my blood boils. The thing is, linux is scalable. Android and windows arent. If you have weaker hardware you have to put an older version of android or windows on it. Thats why you see recently released arm chips that only support up to android 8. If your hardware is too slow for linux you just use a lighter version of it. Also the features like suspend are just so good on linux handhelds.
Noticed the meme was censored so I tried my best to fill in the blanks based on the information I had
Hope it helps
This is just amother reason I bought a Pixel for GrapheneOS.
Meme ruined by censorship. Rip.
There gotta be a community for that out there somewhere.
What are the censored words, my enjoyment of this meme is now halved because of this, down voted
shitty, fucking
Eww self censorship
same with windows 11. same functionality, somehow twice the system requirements.
And with “AI” this will only get worse. How much disk space will “Recall” snatch for their keylogger again, about 32gb?
not to mention ssd wear
The Enshittification continues. Nothing is sacred.
with my phone from 6 years ago I could use a micro SD card as internal storage
my phone nowadays installs gambling apps I didn’t download and has rooting deliberately locked down
I’m on a rooted android 8.0.1 Oreo.
That’s right, my android still has a food related name. Step aside losers
My Samsung J7 is old enough to go to elementary school and is as snappy and functional as the day I got it. Haven’t had a phone in more than half a decade.
I also have a functional Samsung S5 booted with android 12, courtesy of Lineage OS
yeah, its mostly all the garbage they bake into the stock roms.
remember laptops, where they were expected to need a reformat out of the box? same for phones but the process is much more complicated and locks you out of banking apps.
Android 8.0.0 reporting in o7
I checked it a while ago, my phone turned seven this summer
kinda miss system-level darkmode, since many apps don’t allow you to choose theme yourself anymore, but eh, what gives
Damn is the S5 actually still usable with that OS? I loved that phone and still use it as an alarm clock (original batterie even).
The missing words are “shitty” and “fucking”, btw. I feel like we’re getting crap posts like this from bots that aren’t willing to tailor their posts for places where naughty words are allowed. Or reposts of bots’ output. Either way, I’m tired of it.
I’m not a bot, I just didn’t know if the people here liked bad words or not. It’s just a nice middle ground I think. If you still don’t think it’s an original, I think I can send you the .xcf file, I just don’t remember if I deleted it or not

you can in fact swear on the internet, and we still know what the words are
If you’re not sure, you can make a meme that doesn’t use them. If you think swear words are needed to emphasize your point, blurring them afterwards literally destroys your own point
Maybe it is, I don’t know. These distorted standards from the mainstream websites, and wierd social etiquettes have made thinking and writing my own toughts feel wierd, I’m literally censoring myself. What an interesting world we live in.
I think this is precisely why I have such a visceral reaction to blurring swear words and using euphemisms like ‘unalive’.
Language naturally evolves over time but I really don’t like the idea that it’s being disproportionately influenced by social media companies and their shitty algorithms trying to please advertisers. Yuck!
Yeah, can relate to that
Hey, we need some more positivity here IMHO. Thanks for contributing even if censored bugs some people. I thought the meme was funny and it made my yesterday better in a small way.
The new android file permissions are actually terrible. It’s broken so much stuff and made the whole os much less useful.
The absolute most salient proof of the inadequacy of market capitalism is that when the mobile market consolidated, THESE are the two choices we wound up with. Talk about a giant douche and a turd sandwich…
A third one is being worked on silently (Linux Mobile), however that will most likely only be a niche choice for those who already ain’t being caught and locked into Silicon Valleys “products”. Due to its very nature there is no VC money involved and therefore no big fanfare planed, even when finished.
It’s still very much a dev platform right now, even though the Pinephone is freely purchasable.
And yet with Firefox+ublock it is still 10000000 times better than its competitors.
There’s only one competitor, apple, and also, I don’t think that firefox mobile is that good. It’s better than chrome, and I’m using it, but I don’t know why would a device with 12gb of ram, a high-res display, a processor that can run warzone can’t run the normal version of firefox with a different ui. I think it just splits development, and I don’t like how it’s always behind in development, and how it lacks features.
Not every phone has any of that, dummy.
Also I don’t really believe it is as easy to port as you are making it out to be.
Apple doesn’t have functioning adblock on safari. There are a handful of extensions that promise to and none of them work as well as ublock
Of course its slower… how else are they gonna con millions of people into buying new smartphones they don’t need?
