Windows is malware.

Why not use a full-size computer for all that stuff?

I haven't had any of that, but I do notice that F-Droid can't seem to automatically update itself without erroring. Something about failing to parse the package; I forget the exact error message. I wonder what the problem is…

Play's reputation for being full of malware stands directly at odds with your assessment.

Hobbyists are rarely incompetent. They actually take pride in their work, and aren't just trying to quickly slap something together for a quick buck.

Not sure what gave you the impression that most phone apps have gone through professional QA, but I very seriously doubt that they have.

As for mishandling user data, it's a lot easier to avoid doing that when user data never leaves the user's device in the first place. Proprietary apps collect user data for profit; free and open source apps often don't.

I don't see any riots. Seems to me that nobody cares—not even the people being made homeless.

Wait, that's illegal.

Would you happen to have some idea what to do about all the school shootings?

de-escalation with China

You're probably not going to get your wish on that one. The Chinese government is…well, not nice, as the Uyghurs can attest. Maybe let's let them dial back the oppression first, then make friends with them?

This guy for president 2024!

Don’t ask for your employer to meet your time off needs. Tell them that your time off needs are going to be met.

Then you get fired, and in this economy, probably end up homeless.

Because the “simpler life” involves allowing spooks and marketers to read your conversations and use the data to brainwash and/or Minority Report you.

You are under attack. Defend yourself.

The “justice” system is indeed two-tiered, as evidenced by the fact that Trump is still publicly running his mouth. When the rest of us get caught up in the “justice” system, we're swiftly tried, found guilty of existing while poor, and sentenced to do hard labor in 100-degree heat until it kills us.

There are very few problems you can't solve with a large enough explosion.

Must've been mistaken about exactly how long he needed to wait.

And you're running Xfce ≥4.14? Pretty impressive that they kept it lightweight despite switching to GTK3.

“I like trains.” —some kid, moments earlier

This apartment complex has a parking garage for cars, and cars are not trivial to steal.

From what I've heard, portable angle grinders can easily and quickly cut through any bike lock, including expensive ones.

That would be useful on a tablet, where right-clicking is impossible.

Because I don’t want to have sixteen different messaging apps on my phone.

I'm not really understanding why this is an issue. Can you explain?
