or even pseudo-incriminated for attempting to maintain our own life.

It seems so stupid that I’m like a suspect for wanting an exchange of information without dropping my pants and bending over. No, I don’t want cookies. Yes I want to read the article but no, I don’t want to “sign up.”

It makes me feel like being a f*cking hermit. But I prefer to pirate. Even though I’m not that good at it. Screw them. I got two private trackers, a VPN, and I hope that’s enough.

    Dude seriously. I use one for work, I’m relatively tech savvy and can intuitively figure stuff out. Iphones are obtuse by design, they want people to use them and get so used to them that they can’t switch to other options. I’ve used other phones and other OSs and it takes me a little bit and some Intuitiveness to figure it out but I get there, it’s been a pain with every single step for iphones.

      I have had the identical experience; Samsung user who got an iPhone from work.

      When I receive a text from a number not in my contacts there is a blue link prompt asking if I want to block them. However, there isn’t any prompt to add them to my contacts. Doing that is two non-intuitive clicks away.

      LOTS of things like that.

        Just today I got a called from one of my inspectors and I accidentally swiped it away. I saw that the call notification went to the top so I tried swiping down like it intuitively would be, it was just bringing down the lockscreen wallpaper. I missed the call and ended up having to just call him back.
