This is me on my phone with my mom every other day.

@dank It won't work first time, but on the 3rd or 4th try it will do it. You'll have to find the X on some ads too.

@dank this is why you _ALWAYS_ explore all of the configuration settings.

Fuck the giant snakes, it's all about the "Anonymously provide usage statistics" options.

@dank This is a classic. I didn't even realize that I missed it. Thank you!

{muffled by snake flesh} "I'm on Android 13, though, that option isn't there."
"Ahh, ok, it looks like we need to root the phone, but that means you'll lose access to your bank app."

Probably not, because Wired was a paper magazine in 2019, and this isn't a scholarly journal?

@dank but now I’m getting popups for “enable giant snake” or “ask me later” every few hours…

@dank No one should need to change defaults or tinker with software to have a secure, private and non-invasive experience with the apps they use, but here we are.

@dank The alternative is forcing every new setup through a million multiple choice configurations. It'll take too long and cause decision fatigue in most users who want a new phone like they want a new pair of shoes. Something to use immediately like the last ones without any further thought than getting the new item from the shop.

@dank Like the AA app.

The AA has an app which you can use to call roadside assistance.

So, you break down, get your phone out, fire up the app ...

... and it asks you to re-enter your password, because it's several years since you last used the app, because it's several years since your car last broke down.

You've got a note of your password with you at the roadside in the rain at night? I don't.

So basically this app has exactly one job, at which it's a total failure.
