  • if used for work…Features? Don’t care.

    Most organizations care about maintaining document compatibility, especially formatting, and that usually means Office365. Microsoft is notorious for publishing a standard and then ignoring their own standard, making it exceedingly difficult to use other office suites.

    I’ve heard OnlyOffice does the best at maintaining compatibility.


  • if they can’t do what the board needs… They aren’t a good fit either

    But does the board need it, or just want it to maximize profits, like boards usually do in their typical chase of infinite growth that isn’t sustainable?

    And if the person won’t stick up for what they think is best for the company and the people (which they’ve deemed firing 50 people is that), maybe they’re not a good fit that way. But hey, they are sticking up for said company and 50 people, so maybe they are.













  • People used to got to Custom ROMs because OEMs were really doing shit job, that’s not the case now given now.

    Yep. I used to use custom (ROMs, kernels, etc) for the extra features and playing with my phone like a shiny new toy. Now I use GrapheneOS because OEMs and Google don’t do security and privacy anywhere near as good as GOS. And I can live with the minor inconvenience of apps that use Play Integrity API, though I do encourage the app devs to switch to hardware backed attestation because: “Android’s hardware attestation API provides a much stronger form of attestation than the Play Integrity API with the ability to whitelist the keys of alternate operating systems. It also avoids an unnecessary dependency on Google Play services and Google’s Play Integrity servers.” https://grapheneos.org/articles/attestation-compatibility-guide


  • occupying valuable storage space

    I can’t remember last time in the past 5 years, maybe full decade, where I was running low on storage space on a smartphone.

    consuming bandwidth, and draining battery life

    If they’re truly forgotten and this not used, Android places them in hibernation. At a certain point, Android disables then and removes any granted permissions.

    their icons present while the app itself is not actually installed. They would remain dormant until needed, at which point they would be automatically downloaded and launched.

    This just sounds like a bookmarked PWA website…which I actually always recommend when available. PWA are less intrusive and less permission hungry than the typical app.
