I feel like a boomer in my 20s with the fact that I fucking despise having to pay 30-40 dollars a month just so some guy from work can reach me and tell me I need to work extra hours. Everything and everyone else I can contact online using my work’s PC or my personal laptop. It’s also dogshit-garbage because it’s getting to the point where most services entirely give up on their desktop/browser ports or websites because they just assume people are going to use their phone.
Instagram was like this for a long while. Indeed recently removed their “distance” feature and other filter features from their desktop version. Reddit is another example. Enshittification of the internet to put it all on a phone is awful.
data is easier to obtain through a phone from what i know, that’s why important features are getting probed from the browser version and transferred to the mobile version (which is most likely a browser version due to the chromium craze), no way to do it in any other way other than through “the app”
browsers like firefox have some measures to keep data in or whatever, especially on phones (which is why some privacy advocates prefer using the browser for stuff that ask for phone programme apps or whatever they’re called. software.) and even companies that use this data junk go like “IT’S BETTER TO USE THE APP!” because they really want you in the grasp
