I've grown increasingly hateful towards both my Android and iOS devices over the last decade. The platforms themselves are increasingly user-hostile, and their appstores are crammed full of shitty, privacy-invading, telemetry-hoovering, dopamine-triggering, ad-filled, lipstick-covered apps that are often garbage compared to the pioneering days of mobile. I miss the days of my old Palm Pilot.

Is anyone working on fixing this? We can do so much better.

I make a point of never installing an app when there's a usable mobile site. Even if they prompt me to install every ten seconds.

Heh, I've always done this. Maybe if every mobile dev made sure I could find text like I can in a browser I'd be less strident. But really, I need a very good reason to install stuff.
