The one change that worked: I set my phone to ‘do not disturb’ three years ago – and have never looked back (www.theguardian.com)

I appreciate that Android changed from an opt-out to an opt-in model when it comes to notification permissions, but it's still not enough. I can't believe the mobile OS world became so much worse than actual computing. What a corporate hell scape.

Tbh not surprised. In 2012 I got my first smartphone, it ran Android. At first I thought it was just like a PC. Within half an hour I was fed up at how useless it was.

Can't even open a terminal window and apt install apache, what a load of junk.

Tried a pinephone and that is almost perfect but it struggled with SMS. If that was more reliable I think it would be the perfect phone.

Same. My first "smart"phone was a Nokia N95 and I had so much excitement back then Then I realized: hey man, I can't actually do anything that I need to do on this thing.. But at least it takes really nice photos?
