    BOW TO YOUR MASTERS, AND SUCK OUR DICK!!!

    I remember 10 years ago looking at a calculator app in the android app store, and seeing the permissions. And thinking “WHY THE FUCK DOES A CALCULATOR NEED MY LOCATION, AND ACCESS TO MY PHONE CONTACTS???”

    Fuck THAT.

      I found out yesterday the Samsung system camera app will not function without “Nearby Devices” permissions. Utterly ridiculous.

      All those years, and I still have no explanation why some apps want my browsing history.
