i would AOSP this phone if i could but that would (i imagine) get rid of S-Pen support and unlocking my phone would make my banking apps not work

for such a premium that you pay on the S Ultra line (nb. i bought a two-generation old S22 Ultra used, two months ago, yes it took me two months to realise it has no calculator) the software is extremely extremely disappointing

my phone... doesn't have a calculator

this is easily remediated sure but i'm just reeling from the fact that Samsung thought it more important for my phone to have shipped with Facebook and their Galaxy Store than a calculator

not to mention that if you transfer from a non-Samsung phone you now have doubles for everything else - clock, phone, contacts etc all have ambiguous Samsung and Google versions, and the Google ones don't play nice on the Samsung system

my circuits keep wanting to spell it "mads milkensen" like he's made out of milk or something

The thing about copyright is, like, if you just think about it for a moment, these two situations are completely different:

- Sony releases a game with music it downloaded off SoundCloud without ever contacting the musician
- A high schooler makes a Sonic fan game that reuses music from Sonic Adventure 2

And yet our current conception of copyright insists that these are equivalent and should be handled by the same rules.

Even if you think copyright should exist this form of it is nonsense.

vrchat has an even higher barrier of entry to living (not just existing) in a digital world than second life has. second life is a hundred fold easier to build an environment and avatar to suit you with built in tools. in vrchat you either need to learn contrived unity workflows and complicated 3d modelling or pay someone to do it for you

the hurdle to properly enjoying vrchat isn't one only of hardware (either pcvr or even more expensive standalone vr tied to a shit company) but also of having enough physical space to act in virtual space, an able enough meatspace body to stand and gesture for long periods of time, and money/otherwise access to an avatar to reflect yourself. vrchat is not an ideal digital space
