No fuggin doubt.

And you know what irks me more is when you buy things from places like eBay or other third party seller websites (where you've consented to their cookies/terms) your email address you use with them is then in the hands of a goofball who's had their ~~personal~~ business PC been compromised.

The few times I use eBay the email addy I use on their sees my inbox flooded. Fucking shitshow.

I'm aware of that, but I'm just pointing out many websites do not give you the consent options as stated above which imo are much more annoying.

It's not just a warning, it's also an option to reject.

Some don't give you an option, but actually have a much cleaner interface imo.

Whether or not it's better since you still have to click OK, some don't let you reject them at all.

That's kinda weird.

I've had a Meme11 Lite for a couple of years now and just bought another Poco. I don't see no ads whatsoever, after I told Wallpaper Carousel to not nag me no more.

Alright I use NextDNS across router / device level but like I say I get none of these complaints and think it's global releases for some?

Can we get some sourced links on this outside of "Branch is bad"?

As far as I know many apps use it and while Neo Launcher has seen me right, the woo har about Nova being Satan seems odd in the context of your reply.

Cheers.

I'm a capt' three phones at the moment

While I've had my backup Samsung M12 with a 1pmobile SIM in my work locker for a couple of years now simply as an emergency backup, I'm also currently rocking two Xiaomi's so I can test remote connections to a family members server via work WiFi/Tailscale.

My main issue is while I wear cargo pants at work, carrying two phones is more wieldy than you'd think and there's also something else I did notice the other day with the Find My Device news.

I forgot where, I left my main phone the other day and my locker is a literal Faraday cage according to FMD? 10 minutes of panic :/

It's just an app, not a lifestyle. 🤷

Now apply that thought to VLC and how many distros and apps use their libraries.

I thought I was a bit of a negative nancy but you take the cake 😆

Goddamit, I got looking for a couple of the pubs I've been to down your end and ended up with the above.

I've been using this moniker for a long time and lad is a bit of a non truthy thing now 😇

Where ya from?

Definitely a fair point and I imagine it varies highly between industries/companies. I just get to see lots of redundant actions that are simply, redundant, just like the perps in the OP :(

Us and Them

No doubt - there are many of these workers in the Office but I'm also seeing many stragglers doing fuck all and also delegating jobs out that they're themselves fully capable of doing but instead of walking 100 yards sending an email + WhatsApp.

While I don't use WhatsApp things get cycled down other channels and it annoys me no end. I'm a busy person 80% of the time but because these leeches can't organise their weekdays they then try their best to offload their, work.

Moar deep grumbly noises.
