  • I am typing this on a pixel 8

    Try disabling and removing the Google search bar. Can’t be done. Since Google search has gone down hill I never use it.

    How about removing the the news feeds? You have to disable the Google app to get rid of it. If I want to read the news, I do a quick search. It’s not hard to do. I don’t need a news feed on my phone.

    What about the stupid at a glance at the top of the home screen? It just takes up space for no benefit over the notification bar. It can’t be fully removed.

    I also never us any voice assistant etc because it’s faster to type it in than repeat myself.

    I currently have 19 apps on this phone disabled that I can’t uninstall… No fluff huh…

    All of my apps are organized into folders and I am never more than one swipe and two taps away from opening the app I want. I don’t scroll, I don’t search, I know where everything is and have it opening in under a second.


  • I have used both iOS and Android for more than a decade. After every update on both systems I have to go through and delete/disable junk I don’t need/privacy issues.

    The stock android pixel UI has gotten so full shit I have to use a launcher.

    iOS’s UI is terrible to use with everything taking twice as long as it should. So many illogical hidden commands.

    Everything has gotten randomly harder to get basic things done.

    My win 10 business computer with classic shell will stop being supported the end of the year… Oh joy…


  • Not really. Although the genetic diversity across the entire continent is higher, limits to mate selection is common. Location, culture, economics, language, etc, all limit the genetic pool that people have to choose a mate from. So in-group inbreeding is relatively common.

    Humans have lived in smaller groups with limited mate choice for most of our evolutionary history. A lower level of inbreeding improves fecundity (around 4th cousins). Once the inbreeding coefficient gets to around 2nd cousins, that’s when problems arise. This happens often in small tribes.

    Smaller polygamous groups quickly develop issues with inbreeding. The entire group often has an inbreeding coefficient around 1st cousins or even siblings (example - polygamous Mormons).

    Now Uganda is a bit different because the polygamous group is large. This limits inbreeding effects.


  • I upgraded from Windows XP to Vista after the 2nd servicepack fixed most of the shit. By that point it was a tolerable OS.

    I am currently hoping for a major service pack next year to fix all the stupid shit they did in Windows 11.

    You know kind of like when they fucked up windows 8, attempted a quick fix in 8.1 and finally fixed it in win10.

    Of course they are at 4 major updates with win11 and it’s still shit so the hope is very thin.
