- iririririr 3mo ago...wouldn't it be better to have a pocket computer you own?
- NietTim 3mo agoJust use the browser, it's fine 99% of the time.
- normie3000 3mo agoPhones are quite useful.

- dylan604 3mo agoIt would be even better if app devs weren't pieces of shit making apps whose sole purpose is to gather all of this data to sell to other pieces of shits while skinning their app as a game or other app to trick users into thinking it's worth installing. Fighting devs being able to make money in this manner is not dissimilar to getting made a drug dealers. As long as users want their product, they will sell the product.

- inigyou 3mo agoOr if every time someone wrote an app that did this, we arrested them.
- throawayonthe 3mo agoif you think "desktop" operating systems aren't even worse on this, you're very mistaken
- feelamee 3mo agosure, without any action from the user to increase safety, desktop OS's just allow any app to read any files. On the other hand, desktop OS's allow a wide spread list of ways to control what applications have access too (especially Linux and BSD families). Although, despite all this, running malware can never be safe.
- iririririr 3mo agothere i can install linux or compile my own stuff
- api 3mo agoThat’s not the problem though. The problem is that most apps are malware.
