Or the people who have smartphones and are sick of it and pine for the old ways, but feel compelled to keep one by society increasingly expects that everybody have one and capriciously install invasive apps on it, even for things like buying groceries!
- astrange 4y agoWhat's invasive about a grocery store app? Seems less invasive than going to the store - they could always record you there and they certainly know what you buy.
- robonerd 4y agoIf the app wasn't spyware, they wouldn't be so keen on getting me to use it instead of using a web page.
- astrange 4y agoNobody wants to use a grocery store web page on their phone, and nobody wants to use a computer instead of their phone.
- robonerd 4y agoWeb pages work just fine on phones, except companies are suspiciously forceful with their recommendations that you use their app instead. Don't pretend Reddit isn't doing this; others do as well.
- OJFord 4y agoAre you kidding? I frequently stop what I'm already doing on my phone in frustration, and get out a laptop or turn on a computer to do it in a proper browser/screen/keyboard instead of an app/mobile browser.
