‘The tyranny of apps’: those without smartphones are unfairly penalised, say campaigners

the gates that slide over using a chain, they often have a removable link at the end. If you unhook the chain on the opener side, it will open one more time, then spit all the chain out trying to close it. I used to take that link out when living in complexes with those gates. Made life easier for most. Would take months for it to get fixed. They are just standard 1/2in x1/8in bike chain.

I want a re-made Bonzi buddy with AI.

Could you expand on that thought a bit more? How is an app like the internet tool bars of old?
Genuinely curious. I'm a little too young to have experienced internet toolbars like the ones in your image.

Phones are not listening and if you have proof post it. No security researcher has ever posted this.

The same goes for customer loyalty cards. All market tracking schemes should be rightfully banned.

Nothing wrong with getting stuck on zombo.com. After all you can do anything there.

What does that even mean?
Most people here would be satisfied with a working website they can access from any browser or OS, mobile or desktop.

Every service and site had their own malicious toolbar they'd ask you to install and / sneak it into the install for other software. They also came loaded with malware and or siphoned data from you. Older/more tech illiterate people would have browsers looking like the picture above and come to you wondering why their computer is so slow or why they keep getting viruses.

We used to be free from such bullshit, but some companies have started trying to bring similar systems here in Brazil, especially drugstore brands that would ask for our id number in every order to give "discounts". Fortunately, this practice is now being investigated, and I hope the companies lose the case.

Don't lose hope, lead the resistance!
Out of curiosity, how many flip phones have you used since 2007?

I still miss firefox os and feel sad for them not succeeding. Their app system could have become a multiplatform standard and allow us to have much more options in the smartphone market, as well as better desktop integration and interoperability

And that's one of the benefits from open source apps. I have a very low end and dated phone, and yet I have more apps installed and hardware functionality than the average person, because I grab everything I can from f-droid. It's amazing how much smaller and performant everything is.

My current phone is a flip phone. A Samsung Galaxy Flip 5

I don't vouch for these, as I have not used them. But, I found this rewritten one and this one with LLM.

I keep seeing this headline and thinking it's a slur

No way would I use that app.
