Giving up control bit by bit

Jesus, this reads like an angsty teen. That whole last paragraph... You feel proud about that? You happy with how that came across?
That's so much good for you than you still write.
What? Are you having a stroke? That sure would explain all this nonsense.
But man, I really missed out on how the ls command can move you through directories on it's own. I don't even need cd anymore, wow. That would have been revolutionary.
It's not a hill on dying in lol. You are objectively wrong. There no debate.
But sure, since I upset you, that's why you won't tell me where I messed up. Right.... Because you totally know, like for sure, but you just won't tell me because you got your feelings hurt. Lol ok. You don't even understand the basics of the things you are talking about. You are so transparent.
You know nothing about Linux, you clearly know nothing about Android or it's file system either. You don't even realize you can literally open a Linux shell on your android lol
Just sit down, you're embarrassing yourself.
This gets funnier with each iteration
Do go on then. What else my transparent self does not realize?
And while I am still at it, where is your insightful and undeniable proof Android actually does what I want from it? So far I've seen only "lol I can do it", so catch this: if you can do that, I can traverse file system with ls. Even starting at / on AndroidYou're move, da greit wun

The file system ain’t a pro. But the stock one ain’t so bad, and OwlFiles improves it. Just like on Android I feel something like CX Explorer is a lot better than the stock one. I meant overall as an OS, both have pros and cons. An ios pro for example is AirPlay, a lot better than casting, you can play music to multiple speakers at the same time higher quality. Or FaceTime audio calls, more private and much clearer than WhatsApp/Signal/Duo calls. Or generally apps working and looking better on ios than android, with less chances of spammy crap. Samsung/android has a dex advantage, and multitasking, and miracast which is more common than AirPlay screens. Airdrop is great, but there’s equal things in android. LocalSend is great for both android and Apple and between both too. Apple had shitty charging support till usbc came in and now it’s cool. Android is selling your soul to Google who sells your soul to everyone in the world. iPhone is selling your soul Apple which does lesser stuff with it in comparison. Like I said, both are great, both suck, both have pros and cons. The ideal life is to have a dummy phone and live real life, but next best is to probably have one of each device if you have the need, or suck it up and choose one. Phones are taking up too much of our lives to worry about having loyalty to one anyway…
I can put a degoogled OS on an android phone to keep Google at bay, cause I bought and own the device. The iOS pros you mentioned are just apps, not even specifically tied to the OS itself, and most of them only work well within the apple ecosystem and purposefully don't work at all or work poorly with non apple devices. Android has tons of apps that do the same thing, or even better and they work with every device and OS regardless of who made them. So far the only iOS specific things I liked are the dynamic island functionality, the custom focus modes with customizable home and lock screens, the activity usage locks and analytics, most of these I can replicate on Android as well when I move to it.

No lol, I am asking if the described reaction is in line with whatever you have phantasized about me
Anyway, since I don't think you'll ever open your eyes and read the fucking (reference intended) message properly, been nice to shoot some shit (that's another, very specific reference to a game). Good luck

This guy is for sure having a stroke.
And you expect me to think you know anything about tech lol. Go back to trolling stack overflow like a good script kiddie now.
Calling out cringe game references in your comments.... You gotta still be in highschool.

Windows is more like, oh that file you saved earlier? Yeah we moved that to OneDrive. You want it back? Sorry didn't pay your OneDrive subscription fee, so you don't actually have that file anymore. Hope it wasn't something irreplaceable like your kid's baby photos or anything lol.

To make things worse, if your kid's baby photos get uploaded and wrongly trigger their CSAM AI scanner, then you get reported to the police as a pedophile, and your account gets nuked. Google was literally caught doing this, microsoft is probably doing the same.
Just more infinite wisdom of idiot nosy companies. this minute clip perfectly summarizes it

I often see people saying stuff like this that I never run into. I wonder if the difference is whether your OS is tied to a Microsoft account or not. I used an exploit to bypass the account requirement when I set up Windows 11.
It's exactly that.
When you login with a microsoft account it also logs you into onedrive. by default onedrive starts up at boot time, and also by default it backs up the main folders of your PC (documents, desktop, pictures, etc.)
It can all be turned off, but the fact it's opt out its cancerous. The only thing I use onedrive for is to store my offsite 3-2-1 backup. It's encrypted beforehand with rclone.

That's the entire point of the post, my guy. Some apps use the Downloads folder. Some use their own. Some use a folder you set a year ago when you first got the app but don't remember anymore.
The interface abstracts away from the actual file system so finding a file becomes guesswork. Doubly so if you then want to use the downloaded file in a different app that also doesn't give access to the file system.
perhaps OP thinks you're a goof if you don't invest in a proprietary software stack.

yeah, i figure I'd kill myself if my PC was structured like that. but for a phone it does the job and if you need something it's not that hard to find it really.
I mean, your phone (or at least mine) has Documents, Downloads, Photos etc. just like windows (and linux) have. The Android folder is akin to windows's AppData folder too, there is a lot of overlap in folder structures imo

I prefer Material Files.
Yeah, I feel you on that. It's my go to file manager as well.
