was looking for a GUI video editor on Android, and couldn’t find an open source one, so downloaded a proprietary apk(powerdirector).
was greeted with this as soon as I installed an opened it.
deleted it that very instant. will stick to ffmpeg on termux.
image below is from david revoy’s mastodon post.
image transcription:
meme has two images. upper one is a cropped screenshot from an app that reads, “to protect your rights to privacy, please accept the privacy policy and terms of use to continue.”
lower one is an image of pepper from pepper&carrot with one of her hand in air, eyes lit up and mouth agape. superimposed on very bottom is a text that reads, “Hmm, what a logic.”
Uhg I feel this one. I just cancelled a family subscription to apple plus, because they raised the rates again. It started at $15/mo now they want $26/mo. Nope. But that means I lose access to all the bullshit I play on my phone while pooping.
So I went to download a bunch of games I paid for back in the yesteryear where paying for apps was the norm. I go to open one and I am greeted with this fucking thing
I sure as hell didn’t consent to their collecting and selling my information when I bought the app years ago. And now it is too late to get a refund but I can’t use the app.
Assholes.
reminds me of you’ll own nothing and be happy.
it’s them who own everything. they’ll change something one day(common example being prices and how they abuse your data) and you’ll be asked to either continue or leave.
