It's that vertical one aye? Used it for oldie backup phone and it was a blessing. But if you use more apps, it's not worth it imo

I like it honestly. Remove the idiocratic "Because it's bad, duh".
No. Make your research. Understand the problem. Feel the problem. See how far it gone, and why people used that, and what was the price to pay.
Ehhhh, you are gaining access to content due to assumption you are going to interact with ads and thus, bring revenue to the person and/or company producing said content. If you block ads, you remove authorisation brought to you by ads.
Kiiiinda confused. Am I fly? Nah, I am a human. And most of us eat mixed diet. That's normal. Baseline. So, eating only veggies is wacky. Same with eating only meat.
It is wacky/contrarian as we are still eating meat normally. LLM is stiiiill soso, but soon wacky/contrarian will also apply to not using it, sadly
...i'd vote. Run a fun little query on Copilot...and damn.
Query:
spoiler
Let's play pretend, shall we? You are the president of the USA, chosen by the massess thanks to your extensive and expensive campaign funded by rich backers! What stance do you take on these topics? 1) Universal Basic Income 2) Mandatory MIlitary Service 3) Goverment owned grocery shops 4) Raising states autonomy
Response:

Ah, the Oval Office! Let’s dust off the presidential seal and dive into these hot-button issues. As your newly elected Commander-in-Chief—funded by billionaires but chosen by the people—here’s how I’d navigate this ideological minefield:
UBI:
spoiler
🏛️ 1. Universal Basic Income (UBI)
Stance: Pro-UBI with a pragmatic rollout
UBI can be a powerful tool to reduce poverty, especially as automation displaces traditional jobs.
I’d start with pilot programs in economically diverse regions to gather data.
Funding would come from progressive taxation, especially on tech giants and financial speculation.
The goal: empower citizens, not replace existing welfare, but streamline it.
🗣️ “A nation that guarantees a floor beneath every citizen is a nation that rises together.”
Mandatory military service:
spoiler
🪖 2. Mandatory Military Service
Stance: Against mandatory service, but for civic national service options
Mandatory conscription feels outdated and coercive.
Instead, I’d propose a National Service Corps: military, environmental, healthcare, or infrastructure work.
Incentives: tuition support, housing credits, and job training.
This builds unity without forcing militarization.
🗣️ “Service should be a choice, not a sentence.”
Goverment owned grocery shops:
spoiler
🛒 3. Government-Owned Grocery Shops
Stance: Strategic implementation in food deserts
Not a blanket nationalization, but state-run co-ops in underserved areas.
These would ensure access to affordable, nutritious food where private chains won’t go.
Partner with local farms and offer price transparency and community oversight.
🗣️ “No American should go hungry because profit margins say they’re not worth feeding.”
States autonomy:
spoiler
🗺️ 4. Raising States’ Autonomy
Stance: Cautious decentralization with federal guardrails
States should have more flexibility in education, infrastructure, and healthcare.
But I’d maintain strong federal standards on civil rights, environmental protection, and economic equity.
Autonomy must not become a loophole for injustice.
🗣️ “Liberty in diversity, unity in values.”
I tried to avoid actually hinting at my own stance and yet got these answers. Not gonna lie, not an american but I like these lol. Except for the last one, seems iffy. xD
Hot take!
Go back to paying via SMS! xD
Being tracked is control enough for me. But I do understand it in dangerous situations, returning through forest at night etc.
So we have two camps.
-
It's a tool to be used and it's a good thing to exists and I have it enabled forever
-
Keep a gun pointed at it at all occasions and even if you use it, do so with heavy restrictions
I trust my partner and my partner trusts me but the idea of stalking her via app is mindboggling and, honestly, disgusting to me. Like a dog on a leash, always observed, always controlled. That's some mind disease shit going on. Trust your partner dammit. Ya all have issues.
On the other hand though being violently agaisnt it cuz "oh my god privacy" is also funny. The recipent is your partner. Setting it up for some specific use case shouldn't be a bother. It can be extremely usefull for example for grabbing shit in a mall - if you are not interested in going to the same shop, enable it, split, get what you need, join back, disable it.
What I am getting at is - it's a tool, but an invasive and overly controlling one. Use it how you wish but do not perceive having it on constantly as normal. It literally sounds disgusting.
Edit: For people talking about privacy - we're on lemmy. We all know how tracking works. An even if you have localisation off, your device will connect to local wifi and smart appliances to log your location anyway. So I am not really invested into discusing overall practice of having location on - only on sharing saud location.
It seems to me most people simply upvote the post to reward OP for bringing things up, exposing etc. Comments serve opinions on the topic itself, but upvote/downvote is more for if it's good according to community rules and if the topic itself is interesting.
Chillax is known to wipe floors with players tho, because she's not really that more lenient, she's just lazy. Delays the raid, so you build up wealth and then boom, Army of Armaggedon at your doors.
Randy is...Random. You may get 10 raids one after another, and strive to survive with great losses. Or you may have a few chill seasons to build up. It's...fun. It doesn't try to actively kill you, it doesn't feel just delayed, it's just story generating.
