For every person using an ad blocker there’s 10,000 that don’t. Going after the fraction of a percent of perceived lost revenue from people who wouldn’t click your ads or buy your products anyway is just the epitome of greed.

I use Google to spellcheck because predictive text can’t spell. What a time to be alive.

Either way I’m going to be buying a new phone sooner than I’d hoped, but she’s had a good run.

Working on it. Need to borrow a housemates phone and have the message at the same time.

No. Its above the application layer. Doesn’t capute on screenshots and is confirmed visible above Voyager, Gallery, Firefox. I’ve yet to determine if it can be seen on home screen or swipe screen.

I don’t have another camera handy unless my housemates are home, and the message is intermittent. But working on it.

Cool.

Auto-correct ate it when I typed non.

I’m trying to find triggers, what I can say is that most of what I’ve viewed is AI gen pornography and either on lemmy or my own device, because I make it.

I’ve got other considerations as well:

Is it time sensitive, ie night time only. Does it trigger on/off network. Does it trigger on/off WiFi. Is it a permanant once off trigger. Is it only visible due to the age of my device. Is it an issue specific to this model.

At this point I’m mostly trying to get some sort of photographic evidence. It doesn’t capture on screenshots because it’s above the application layer, confirmed viewable above Voyager, Gallery, Firefox.

1. Everything is made in China.

2. Affordability, there’s a reason I’m using a 5 year old sub AU$500 smartphone.

3 Suitability. It works well, has all the functionality I need.

4. Strong consumer protections and tech watchdogs in Australia generally have our backs with electronics.

5. China adjacent 5 eyes country under the yoke of the US military industrial complex; my data is balls deep in a dozen intelligence agencies anyway.

Downsides: No tap pay.
