Because they’re so random and quirky unlike other boring evil corporations.

Except when adding the log fixes the race condition.

They also underestimated how lazy people are. Personally I will never use a self checkout if a have a bunch of produce (which is most trips to the grocery store). I can’t be bothered to slowly look up each item in their database.

If you don’t need the business features, I use jmp.chat for $5 a month.

The Uber App on my phone is 1 GB!

It’s not FOSS as it’s a modded version of Google Camera which is not open source.

I’m a photographer and don’t find the stock GOS camera to be good enough. I use BigKaka’s GCAM mod which is Google’s camera with even more features. It doesn’t require internet access and everything works in version 9.2 on my Pixel 8. It doesn’t require google photos like the stock GCam.

If you use the Cheogram app for JMP.chat it works like a normal call and messaging service. You can make phone calls through the dialer app or cheogram and send and receive messages through cheogram. The app takes you through setting everything up on the first run. The only issue I’ve had is that group messages only show the phone number and not the contact.

That being said, if you’re only using it occasionally, Mysudo has a $0.99 plan while JMP.chat is $4.99.
