This. I use FOSS apps for as much as possible, have all my privacy settings carefully curated, don’t use Gmail or other Google apps for anything that matters, and have everything related to AI, social media apps, or services I don’t use disabled in the system apps, plus I use Mullvad’s DNS server to block ads and social media traffic from my phone itself, not just browsers. I work a lot of hours and don’t get much time to just chill. While I’m more tech savvy than the average person I’m far less tech savvy than the average Lemmy user. I don’t want to spend what little free time I have trying to install a different OS on my phone hoping I don’t brick it, or figuring out if I can get things to work with my phone carrier, my work apps, or my banking apps, and the convenience of having those apps outweighs the cons.
I hate milk so much. The taste, the texture. Just the thought of drinking a glass of milk again makes me want to projectile vomit. I had to drink a glass of milk for dinner every night as a kid. I wasn’t allowed to leave the table until it was gone. Sometimes I’d sit there for an hour just trying to force myself to drink it. My parents were like, just drink the milk, it’s not so bad, get it over with, but it felt like being tortured every night. I was violently ill afterwards almost every time.
Turns out I’m both lactose intolerant and neurodivergent. Yes I was being a little drama queen, but I at least had reasons :)
