I know it’s a cringe trend now, but: Downvoted for censorship. Do not keep your memes safe for TikTok!
What censorship? What TikTok?
Say “shit”, not “sh*t”.
Say “pussy”, not “p**sy”.
Say “gay”, not “”.
Oh now I see it, in the title! Yes indeed what is it with people doing that?
My understanding is that it’s driven by Tiktok, which, being a Chinese company, lives and breathes censorship and forced societal norms.
Maybe driven by it, but I’m on an established forum that just doesn’t allow swearing in an attempt to be “family friendly.” (Everyone on it is an adult, but whatever.)
So when I repost stuff from here to there, I have to censor it. I think it’s silly, but it’s not the first forum I’ve been on that has mandated that.
Replacing a letter with an asterisk is still “swearing”. Censorship, on its face, is ridiculous. If the “family friendly” forum allows “swear” words with one or more letters blurred, they’re mindless hypocrites.
I’m sure you know this, not targeting you with any of my ire.
No, I agree with you. It’s stupid. But you gotta play by the stupid rules sometimes.
To share those on linkedin and corporate slack, I guess. Or in schools, or in boomer chats or something.
*Say “gay”, not “Katana314”
What kinda features do you honestly expect? Phones can basically already do everything these days. Of course the most noteable difference is CPU speed but you don’t need a new one for that every year, or do you upgrade your PC as soon as a new CPU or graphics card hit the market?
We are “there” with processing power IMO. Form factor is the next evolution. Try a foldable and find out that regular phones are so limiting.

I can legit get work done. Two or three apps comfortably shown. (Teams, tickets, admin console)
-
I just moved and reading/signing docs on a big screen was so helpful.
-
navigation with an 8in screen is objectively better. Can even split screen with Spotify or the message thread with whoever I am visiting/meeting.

tripod for taking pics. I use this SO much. Along with selfies using the main cameras
I tried to go from fold 3 to S23U and gave it to my mom after 2 weeks. Right back to foldables with OnePlus Open. Takes even better pics
Larger form factors also means more room for batteries. Granted, larger screens require them, but I think my point stands. I’ve been on the Samsung Note since like the Note 4 (I think). The larger amount of screen real estate is genuinely a welcome upgrade and that’s the whole point of the foldables… it’s the next evolution of the “phablet.”
Chinese ones are literally the thickness of an iPhone, when folded. With bigger batteries too! SiC tech we don’t have in the US yet.
It’s wild how foldables were just weird and cumbersome, and all of a sudden are “ready”. My fold3 was so goofy in retrospect. Me OPO has fooled people into thinking it’s a regular phone when just sitting on a table a few times

It feels like Phones really don’t have anywhere else to go in terms of meaningful upgrades outside of speed.
yeah, someone could release an actually useful phone (USB ports, SD cards, hardware switches for everything…) phones could’ve been so amazing, but what we have now is nothing short of useless.
I can believe why you think that if you use iPhones. Foldables are out here completely changing the game. Apple will make one in 2030 I’m sure
You can say shit on the Internet
No, seriously…someone explain to me why so many children think you can’t cuss online anymore. Is it because of the hardcore shit like that on Tik Tok? Do these kids believe the entire internet is censored that bad?
Ok? That’s the outside of the phone, and frankly all the other options also look the same just more plasticky. It’s called being recognizable.
Dog shit’s also easily recognizable, and people also keep stepping in it.
Sure thing, my dude. I do hope you guys one day get personalities based on what you like instead of what you hate. You’ll be happier and I’d love that for you.

I am on the fence about switching to a Galaxy this year. Someone convince me. I’m coming from an iPhone 12. My biggest hangup is going to be moving my stuff over.
Just stay on your current phone till it’s dead. And even if you switch to Android avoid Samsung it’s a bloated disaster. Use oneplus or import a sony phone if you want headphone jack microsd slot and hardware fingerprint reader
If you go Android, I recommend a sony phone. Unlockable bootloaders, microsd, headphone jack, exceptional audio, good camera. And no fucking notch or hole cut out of the damn screen!
I even recently replaced the battery in my Xperia 1 iii.
Get a Fairphone then.
