#android phone app

[oneheadtoanother]

the lack of an app drawer in iOS is so bizarre to me as an android user. no I don't want to use a search bar that's going to mix in web results just to launch an app, I don't want to trawl through settings to find a list of installed apps, and I don't want to have to hunt through a hundred home screen icons on my friend's phone to find it. put an iphone in my hand and I become a boomer. redditor moment.

ok you see it goes like this: turn on phone. navigate to browser app. open browser app. navigate to school email--oh it logged me out. log in. it has been more than 12 hours so i need to verify myself with push duo 2 factor authentication. swipe down to approve the notification--oh I have to open the app. open duo 2 factor authetication app. approve. navigate back to web browser. wait for email to load. immedietly close the app turn off my phone and walk into the sea

I stopped updating my tumblr app in October, because I didn’t want the icon changing; I find apps on my phone based primarily on color and secondarily on shape. Then they introduced Tumblr Live and I had strong motivation not to update, because then it just wouldn’t appear on my app. 

And then the above happened, and I cracked up laughing, because now my strategy of not updating has begun to prevent me from seeing ads :D 

I’ve updated now, simply because it was also happening on friends’ posts and anyway you should keep your apps up to date for security reasons, but it gave me a good chuckle. 

[ID: A screengrab of the Tumblr app; half of the header is visible and reads “Sponsored with Blaze”. The rest of the post reads “Unsupported content. Update your Tumblr app to see what’s here” and below that, in bold, “Update Now”.]

where did you find that phone background in your most recent post 👀👀👀👀👀

I was looking up some nick Robles art on Google and came across it its not actually a phone background I just cropped it to fit here's the actual full picture

My jingle and notification sound is now Tomodachi Life theme. Once I make my own icons and decide on a style, it'll be all over

Foldable phones are dumb, please just start making good phones with slide out keyboards again, it was the best thing and I'm so sad it's not a thing anymore.

this was perfect we should've stopped designing phones here why did we go past this

From Deep Learning (S26 E4) why does Clyde’s phone, which looks like this from the back (so it’s probably like an iPhone 13 Pro or whatever)

Look like this on the Home Screen?

Why did his iPhone 13 come out in 2010?

Tumblr for the love of God stop doing this. Please. I have my apps on auto update *STOP PUTTING SHIT AT THE BOTTOM OF MY FEED* and update like a normal app. Stop with the "hey, down here!" shit while we're at it. I hate it so much. Please I'm begging you @staff to free me from this nigh-weekly torment. It makes me spend less time on tumblr bc I hate the shit at the bottom of my app.

The Apple vs. Twitter thing is another one of those "two statement can and should coexist" situations. Funny how they keep cropping up; you might almost think that this the normal state of the world.

On the one hand, it is good that there is some instance mandating at least the tiniest bit of accountability for the modern web world. We saw with Kiwifarms how difficult it can be to deal with truly awful things. Also, it's always fun to see Elon go crazy.

At the same time, Apple should absolutely not be that last control instance, and neither should Google for that matter. For one, Apple is not doing a good job; their methods are capricious, their standards non-existent, and every single iOS app developer has a story of how the Apple store rules and their crazy enforcement have hurt them personally.

And even if that weren't the case, Apple should not hold that much power over so much of the world. No single company should; hell, even for single governments it can be questionable.

Sadly, we only ever have these debates over truly bad examples. When we discuss this, it's always about, "is it good that this white millionaire creates a safe haven where fascists connect and spread? Hard to say", and sadly never about the many other cases.

The most famous case here is, of course, sex and nudity, and how Apple's app store forced Tumblr to get rid of those things, annoying millions, but also genuinely hurting a lot of people like sex workers. And don't forget that people like to lump sexuality and gender identity in with these topics and block them as well.

The conclusion is that there is no conclusion. It's bad if Elon gets what he wants, and it's bad that Apple has the power to stop him. If you want any conclusion, I guess both sides are examples of how corporations and the rich people leading them have way, way too much power to control all our lives. But even that is only a quick oversimplification. It's all rather frustrating.

where have you been friend? I hope you’re doing well 💕

hello sweet angel 🪽 how kind of you to check in on me, i didn’t think anyone even noticed my absence on here 🥹 i’m doing alright, just tired from work. unfortunately i don’t have a lot of free time ever since i started working full time. that’s also why i’m less on tumblr as of late. but recently i was fortunate enough to spend an absolutely beautiful vacation in italy which filled me with so much joy 💖 i hope you’re doing great and wishing you only the very best! stay healthy and take care 🫶🏻💕🧸💫🦋🍥🌱💞🎐
