At this point, if people still decide to go ahead and buy a Zenphone even after all of this, then they deserve to get what’s coming for them

I disagree with you last point.

If it wasn’t the default, people with poor vision would most likely wouldn’t even know how to activate it by themselves.

Most regular users, especially older ones that are more prone to these conditions, aren’t technically savvy enough to rummage through app settings to learn how to toggle accessibility features.

They’d just try to put on reading glasses and then struggle to use the app as it is.

I think it makes more sense to have sensible defaults like that be activated and make it opt-out for those that don’t like it

Maybe the argument is to aid the people who have poor vision

That’s kind of a moot point seeing how it will be adopted by 100% of phones at one point (except for phones which are out of support, but those won’t get used at all after a certain point)

The good thing about open source is that anyone can contribute.

Yeah, you won’t make any money out of it, but if your goal isn’t to make money, then you can team up with others to create your own Android dialer from scratch and that will be adopted.

There’s no vendor lockins possible

Not to burst your bubble but SMS is even less secure than WhatsApp. In fact, SMS is among the least secure communication avenues on a phone, since your telecommunications provider has the ability to keep logs of what you send, when you send it and to whom you send it to.

Not to mention how insecure 4G is and how easy it is to intercept other people’s messages

Also for streaming.

Streaming on a phone (even a 6.6 inch phone) is annoying.

The screen is too small for comfort and it’s very difficult to make out small details which are important that are shown literally onscreen

I don’t think that’s anything new.

My LineageOS phone also has that. I’m inclined to believe that this is available on all newer Android phones

I’m not arguing that. You’re the one who’s disingenuous, though, since you’ve been arguing the reverse all along.

It’s not that child molesters are more likely to consume CP, it’s that you’re saying that people that consume CP are more likely to be child molesters. That’s what you’ve been arguing for all along, and now suddenly you switched to arguing the reverse now, when you’re losing the argument.

If these two statements are the same to you, then I would suggest not bothering with using heuristics. You’re clearly not good at understanding scientific data

I suggest you read actual research before trying to appear smart on the internet. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relationship_between_child_pornography_and_child_sexual_abuse

Do whatever you want.

Assuming is the only thing you’ve been doing all this time, apparently.

Really sad I can’t come over to dinner to someone who’s more intelligent than actual scientists though. Real bummer.

It is a stretch. Researchers can’t even find a conclusive link between watching actual child porn and actually molesting children (emphasis on ‘actual’, not even ‘fictional’).

And you’re here telling me that you are more intelligent than them in deciding whether such a link exists or not.

You either have done no research when basing your ‘heuristics’ on, or you are deliberately ignoring it and just trying to call people that commit a victimless crime “child molesters” because of your “heuristics”.

Man, I sure wish the police would also use shoddily designed heuristics to decide when to arrest a person

“If I offend other people by implying that they wanna molest children even though I know nothing about their lives, personalities or socio-economic backgrounds them so be it! What does my opinion matter to them?”

Yeah, great use of using one single variable in your heuristics there. I’m sure that’s how scientists conduct their research

Making such bets on people you know nothing else about shows how much of a shallow judgmental person you are

Fair enough

I think that, rather than using Gmaps WV, one should rather opt to using Osm maps.They client is free software and the map data is collected by volunteers all around the world, doing their best to contribute to the project.

That way, you can still use navigation and you won’t ever need a Google account (or an accoint for anything, really).

As for Google play, yeah, I definetely recommend Aurora store.

Personally, I use Aptoide to get my apps from, because that’s entirely independent of Google servers and it’s its own thing, so it’s even better. However, I wouldn’t recommend it personally because a lot of apps that existed on Google Play don’t exist on Aptoide’s apps repository and the third party repos are not very trustworthy

Gestures is the only way forward, I feel.

Once you learn them they are fast, simple and highly efficient.

The 3 buttons navigation feels like what we had to use in the past so that it would be easier for anyone to use.

However, I feel like the buttons are a very primitive way of doing things

Maybe for Java but Python does have Flask, which is anything but bloated.

Django, from what I heard, may be a bit bloated, but, from what I heard at least, it has some very useful tools

The Internet Historian learned how to program. Neat

I’m playing the devil’s advocate right now, since I’m not one of them, but I’m pretty sure that there are certain mining pools that have bigger hash rates than p2pool does right now.

This, alone, makes them more attractive to miners, since that increases their chances of getting a payout
