I hate Android. A bit over a decade ago, I ran across an ArsTechnica article about a sale on Windows Phone, so I figured, for $55, may as well give it a try. Turns out I don't hate the form factor; I hate Android.

I got a much better Windows phone shortly after, and I rode that for about two years. When I first got into the ecosystem, pretty much all apps were available (The Economist built a WP app!), but as uptake went nowhere, the apps started disappearing, and I had to come crawling back to Android.

I hate this fucking thing of "no, no, let us control your hardware." And software options. And sell your location data to anyone willing to buy it.
