Just a little bit more privacy invasion. C’mon, juuuust a little… 'till you no longer notice.
sighs…typing this on an S23 Ultra. I can’t wait to get a pixel to degoogle.

I’d recommend CalyxOS as a replacement os.
No google code at all to get full functionality of your hardware (excluding Google pay, but graphene doesn’t have that either.)
Anything you need, e.g. swipe typing or advanced camera features, you can install Google’s versions and block their ability to talk to the internet via the built-in firewall.

Just want to say that Call of duty Black Ops II was pretty fucking accurate up to this point.
- We have drone strikes.
- Personalised face ads.
- worldwide conflicts
- a fight for rare earth minerals
But I guess Treyarch was too optimistic about having a women as a POTUS

Don’t forget warfare using quadcopter drones, albeit without the machine gun.

I’ve seen guns, bigger guns, and also flamethrower drones.

Stuff like this always reminds me of the personalized ads in Mass Effect (like here: youtu.be/hMdIypwM2KI ). That game has accurately depicted the future.
Sunflier@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I have a galaxy. I disabled the Galaxy AI. I disabled the Google AI. I think ATT has one that listens in on calls to warn you of a call being a scam, but I haven’t figured out how to disable that. Many of my calls are privileged under atty/client privilege, so have someone or something else in on that risks waving that. I want to disable it, but I don’t know how. But, now there is yet more AI for me to disable?
0x0@lemmy.zip 10 months ago
risks waving that.
Use a dumb phone or thereabouts, they’re still around.
viking@infosec.pub 10 months ago
At that point I’d just get a dumb phone for calls and a tablet with data only SIM for the rest.
potentiallynotfelix@lemmy.fish 9 months ago
Why not a graphene phone?
ApatheticCactus@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Do I want my face in ads? No. Not at all.
Would I want this same tech used to character swap myself into movies, or just swap actors in whatever? …okay yeah that might be kinda fun novelty.

This is what makes me excited for Linux phones to finally become viable. Every major phone manufacturer is making their UX worse and expanding their hidden spyware for the sake of profits.
Graphene os is great but you can only install it on a Pixel. But they give extended support for older devices which is nice. HOWEVER, people are making Linux builds for even older devices, including the iphone 6. Getting a new phone after 7 years might not be necessary in the future.

You could just use a phone not made by a major manufacturer.
I have one from Orbic and it’s great.

It used to be that phone technology improved relatively quickly, and a 2 year old phone was significantly worse than the latest and greatest. Now, not so much. I use a Pixel 6 Pro running Graphene OS, and I don’t feel like I’m missing out on the latest tech. The camera is great, certainly more than good enough for me, and the phone is responsive and does everything I need it to do, and it’s 3+ generations old. I see no need to spend $1000+ on a new phone.
Brotha_Jaufrey@lemmy.world 10 months ago
And that’s their choice to. But some people are sick of planned obsolescence and wish to use their phones for as long as the hardware doesn’t give.

Someone at Samsung submitted a user story only to troll, and it worked “I need you to drain my phone battery and data plan for ads when I dont even look at it”

Ah, more ads. Exactly what the consumer asked for, right?
propitiouspanda@lemmy.cafe 10 months ago
I swear, the rest of my life will just be educating my peers on how consumerist rhetoric does not serve their interests.
KingPorkChop@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
LOL. New phone cases are going to have little privacy sliders to go over the cameras.
LemmyThinkAboutIt@lemmy.zip 10 months ago
I have one for my pixel 7. I also put a small square of electrical tape over my front camera. I know I sound paranoid, but I just don’t like a camera staring at me while I’m looking at my phone. I also rarely take selfies so a front camera is pretty much pointless for me.
pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 months ago
That’s… A really good idea
Time to redesign my phone case
AugustWest@lemm.ee 10 months ago
Never heard of glance. It’s an ai shopping tool? I couldn’t make sense of it, but I didn’t spend much time either.
autonomoususer@lemmy.world 10 months ago
SamsungOS fails to include a libre software license text file. We do not control it, anti-libre software. You asked for this. They do it when you let them.
Manticore@lemmy.nz 10 months ago
Are techbros so bland that they really can’t think of literally any fucking way to make money that isn’t just ‘ads’?
fnrir@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 months ago
…subscription services? For everything?
Manticore@lemmy.nz 9 months ago
That’s just the money their making itself. They keep deciding that subscriptions make money by removing ads.
Like, why not subscriptions that actually add something gainful? Nope, it’s just ads, or subscribe to less ads.
CalipherJones@lemmy.world 10 months ago
The other option is bombing kids.
TwistedCister@lemm.ee 10 months ago
The other option is creating a reliable, high quality product that people want and creates value for the user. This was how most businesses operated before Jack Fucking Welch.
But it’s easier to force slop, ads, and slop-made ads on people.

oh noes…the evil guys do evil shit…
even funnier: i want to be cool and on the edge but not use iphone why wont android do?
if you support american corporations you are the problem. you are more of a problem then the company itself. still use windows? think iPhones are great? LinkedIn? Insta? WhatsApp?
EVERY argument I heard was shit. each and every one. “I need it to be part of group x”…“cant work without”…any everytime the shit human just told a lie. the real problem was the absolute lack of character and backbone.
so i applaud Samsung! the monkey human wants to be treated as such. give them taylor swift, iphones and slap some ai into their “social” feed. cattle loves it!

Buddy had the nightmarish idea a while back with all the new generative ai stuff for video chat services injecting ads using the faces/voices of the participants in lieu of payment. Just, regularly-schedule ad breaks in your call where “your friend” suddenly starts talking about how excited they are about Raid: Shadow Legends

JustARegularNerd@lemmy.world 10 months ago
No, this is victim blaming - Samsung does something very anti-privacy and anti-consumer and you blame the user because of the way they use their phone? You are detracting responsibility from the company that has started doing this.
