What’s so sad about it? You have the ability to securely send E2EE messages for free. I’m very pleased with Signal after using it for years.
If you mean it’s sad about the weed being hard to get / illegal… yeah, I concur. Hopefully Schedule III happens soon and nationwide Medical will be legal.
That sounds like a problem with YOUR phone. Every phone I’ve bought has been faster than the last. Maybe you have too much bloatware?
I use open source Android only, will not use a phone with stock android. Bloatware is a non-issue on AOSP unless you do that to your own phone.
