The missing words are “shitty” and “fucking”, btw. I feel like we’re getting crap posts like this from bots that aren’t willing to tailor their posts for places where naughty words are allowed. Or reposts of bots’ output. Either way, I’m tired of it.
I’m not a bot, I just didn’t know if the people here liked bad words or not. It’s just a nice middle ground I think. If you still don’t think it’s an original, I think I can send you the .xcf file, I just don’t remember if I deleted it or not

If you’re not sure, you can make a meme that doesn’t use them. If you think swear words are needed to emphasize your point, blurring them afterwards literally destroys your own point
Maybe it is, I don’t know. These distorted standards from the mainstream websites, and wierd social etiquettes have made thinking and writing my own toughts feel wierd, I’m literally censoring myself. What an interesting world we live in.
Yeah, can relate to that
I think this is precisely why I have such a visceral reaction to blurring swear words and using euphemisms like ‘unalive’.
Language naturally evolves over time but I really don’t like the idea that it’s being disproportionately influenced by social media companies and their shitty algorithms trying to please advertisers. Yuck!
Hey, we need some more positivity here IMHO. Thanks for contributing even if censored bugs some people. I thought the meme was funny and it made my yesterday better in a small way.
Eww self censorship
I’m on a rooted android 8.0.1 Oreo.
That’s right, my android still has a food related name. Step aside losers
My Samsung J7 is old enough to go to elementary school and is as snappy and functional as the day I got it. Haven’t had a phone in more than half a decade.
I also have a functional Samsung S5 booted with android 12, courtesy of Lineage OS
Android 8.0.0 reporting in o7
I checked it a while ago, my phone turned seven this summer
kinda miss system-level darkmode, since many apps don’t allow you to choose theme yourself anymore, but eh, what gives
Damn is the S5 actually still usable with that OS? I loved that phone and still use it as an alarm clock (original batterie even).
Yeah! It gets a bit hot tho, so I’m using it on battery saving mode with low specs, and I cannot have it in my pants’ pocket for too long or it crashes. But it does work.
I’m still using an SIII for a media device :D
What are the censored words, my enjoyment of this meme is now halved because of this, down voted
shitty, fucking
The Enshittification continues. Nothing is sacred.
with my phone from 6 years ago I could use a micro SD card as internal storage
my phone nowadays installs gambling apps I didn’t download and has rooting deliberately locked down
The absolute most salient proof of the inadequacy of market capitalism is that when the mobile market consolidated, THESE are the two choices we wound up with. Talk about a giant douche and a turd sandwich…
A third one is being worked on silently (Linux Mobile), however that will most likely only be a niche choice for those who already ain’t being caught and locked into Silicon Valleys “products”. Due to its very nature there is no VC money involved and therefore no big fanfare planed, even when finished.
It’s still very much a dev platform right now, even though the Pinephone is freely purchasable.
Noticed the meme was censored so I tried my best to fill in the blanks based on the information I had
Hope it helps
Meme ruined by censorship. Rip.
There gotta be a community for that out there somewhere.
Of course its slower… how else are they gonna con millions of people into buying new smartphones they don’t need?
It may be your phone manifacturer slowing down the OS. My phone doesn’t feel slower
Good for you, what brand is it?
Motorola
In what price-range does it worth it? The people I know who had those said that they were bad, but they all bought the extremely cheap ones
I got a Moto G84 5G for 200€ and I think is a pretty good deal. It has 256/12GB of memory and an OLED screen and even an headphone jack!
Another Motorola enjoyer! Mine feels much better compared to Xiaomi’s overbloated MiUI bullshit
The new android file permissions are actually terrible. It’s broken so much stuff and made the whole os much less useful.
Funny, though they have actually been working hard on optimization too. For a great example, see changes like userfaultfd garbage collection in 13.
I don’t know what are they optimizing it for, when I click on something, it still takes a year to load, the only difference I feel between my current phone and my first android is that this one has a much larger screen, and this one costs 10 times more. In my opinion, android has been going backwards since around 8.0
My old pixel 4a with graphene os is still as fluid and snappy as the day I bought it.
My samsung was working fine for 1-2 months, since then, it’s just lagging and things. I tried resetting, sending it back to samsung to see if it has hardware problems, but it’s still bad. Had a nokia and a huawei before that, and another samsung, I even had some off brands when I wasn’t so financially good but since 2016-17 it feels to me like development has taken a turn backwards, they stopped adding new things, started taking away privileges from the user, and they are trying to hit the same performance with much stronger hardware. Also, twitter still takes 7 seconds to load, but now you can have a 200MP camera with that
OP, I mostly agree with what you’re saying about Android. I’ve been a user since 2010, and development of mainline Android stagnated about a decade ago. Google isn’t really trying very hard anymore. I got an iPhone this round as my main device. I still have plenty of other Android devices as well as my last phone (OnePlus 8T) that I will continue to use, but I’m enjoying most of the change in user experience to iOS. It’s smoother and better thought out in most respects.
If your device is really that slow though, are you sure the battery is good? They will definitely slow down when the battery ages to prevent sudden shutdowns if the CPU were to try to use more power than the battery can supply. I think that a bad battery can do the same even if it’s not old.
If not that, how is the custom ROM scene for your phone? That may be a solution if it’s possible. Manufactures like Samsung sometimes go overboard with additions to the OS that just screw things up. Samsung was probably the worst offender in this regard back when the first Galaxy devices launched.
Yup. I went to the dark side and bought an iPhone when my OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Edition died (RIP, prince of phones) and I’ve enjoyed it greatly. iOS has come a LONG way in the last decade or so.
It’s almost as though Apple’s main focus is selling devices instead of harvesting user data for ads. iOS has so many anti-tracking and privacy features built into it that I feel exhausted thinking about all the mods I need to make to factory software on an Android phone to bring it up to the same level.
Certainly iOS has its flaws, and I miss easier ad blocking, but overall I’m more satisfied with the experience.
