#tech question regarding phones. I need to buy a new one asap. Battery is suddenly not working properly and it is where my #CMG is. I don't want all the damn bloatware but I'm worried about switching from an android to an apple.
Is it easy to move from android to apple? Contacts, pics, etc?
Does Apple have less bloatware? Or does that depend on your service provider?
Thank you!

I'm in the US so I can't do that FairPhone.
I'm sorry, I don't have any idea what LinageOS is but I will look it up. Thank you. I currently have a google pixel and they have so much bloatware, they keep putting in more crap and making it impossible to turn things off that I used to be able to turn off. Google has gotten like microsoft that you cannot stop updates no matter what you do. At least what us who have little knowledge and skill in this area.
Thank you!

@melroy

Wow. Thank you! I currently have a Pixel 3a but that's the one that's dying. I need to replace it. I'll read all this and see if I think I can do it.
If I could find a tech person who could stop all the microsoft crap on my laptop and all the google and verizon crap on my phone, I would pay well (as much as I could, which isn't much thought) to have that done.
I envy you tech people 😊

Thank you!

@melroy

Thank you! Can you still use Excel on Linux? I've never used it

Did you ever get the $2.20 settlement for the compromising all your information?

Ain't it though

I just posted about that. Emotional growth stops when you become addicted to drugs

@Scott1984FP @mu @Red_Shirt_Dude @parismarx @groundcrazymae
The size of the brain is developed as you stated but that's not the same as emotional process at full maturity. Our brains continue to remodel until around 25. It is a theory that drug & alcohol use to the point of addiction, stops that maturity process

I agree about his looking in the wrong places and no boundaries. Doesn't mean he has a mature brain that

I think we can all agree, he's an immature dick.

Nope. I can see it but it's just like the other. I tried to scroll through your posts to get to July 7th but I can't scroll beyond July 15.

Nope, I still don't quite understand how this works. Or doesn't work.

Still, great take off on the song!

Yes. Here's a screenshot

@weaselx86

🤣😂 Very nice! Great take on this.

I don't know why but I can't like or reboost any of the original. I still don't quite understand the fediverse thing

Just feeling like some Jethro Tull tonight.
