Rant : Stupid smartphone use of proximity sensor during phone call (lemmy.ml)

After stupid update of "phone application", had to tape over the proximity sensor ! ... otherwise there's no way to reliably shut the screen during a phone call. Whenever the screen is on, my face touching the screen triggers any stupid functions 🙄 Had to try and test a few location because it was not located at the selfie camera. Once again it shows we are not the customers ; we are the product 😑

Lol. It's just a bad update. It happens in any type of development.

I understand how annoying that can be.

Android perverted Linux by removing user's choices and access. Linux will remain a rat race & a social disease until it is properly funded. Somedays i like to be edgy and make easy rants & see where it leads ...

One more rant : pkZip by pkWare was fantastic new product back in the late 1980s until Microsoft tried to scrap the concept of universal free simple compression and encryption tool. This same dishonest model repeated many times since in techno//electronics.
