  • 5GB is plenty for emails, won’t be an issue for 99% of people.

    THE problem with google’s storage is that they actively mislead consumers:

    1. They bother customers during setup and after with: “Do you want to backup your device?” To which a considerable amount of people react to as “Yeah ofcourse I want that!”
    2. Google does not show any indication where this backup goes or about the eventual payment so people just forget about it.
    3. After some time their gmail and photos app will start to complain: “YOUR STORAGE IS FULL” - with constant notifications. And their Gmail stops working so they can’t receive emails anymore.
    4. These regular people confuse ‘storage’ with internal storage so they start looking for ways to expand their internal storage, which obviously doesn’t do anything.
    5. Eventually they give up and either pay google the ransom or make a new email.

    This is the real dark pattern behind their “free cloud”




  • Anything with infinite scroll should not be accessed be anyone under 18.

    Algorithm based social media is my second big nono. YouTube can be fine as long as no algorithms are involved.

    Any social media app should never recommend connections, my SO works with at risk children and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard of a kid getting groomed because a rando added them on Snapchat. Random connections enable perverts. Discord is just as bad for the same reason.

    Either way limiting screentime is extremely important, but just as important is technological education. Kids these days have no idea how to navigate the Internet because most adults can’t do it properly. Educate yourself always when educating the next generation.


  • I mean if you’re constantly being accused of something you’re sure of is false it’s understandable you get ticked off if journalists keep throwing it in your face.

    That being said, his response was completely out of line and I agree very telling. You’ll notice everytime the guy is pushed into a corner he’ll start attacking anyone in his vicinity. He always tries to discredit while himself spouting the most wacko unsupported claims.

    How anyone can listen to the guy for more than 5 minutes and still think he’s capable of running a country is beyond me.





  • I’ll downvote everytime I see someone publicly calling out downvotes. You’re being harassed? That’s annoying, send your findings to the mods and let them deal with it.

    Making a comment everytime you get a downvote is fucking pathetic, it’s literally the digital equivalent of making a scene in a public place. Move on, get your head out of your ass lmao
