New You know that smart phones using Android are less safe than iPhones.
Not that Apple couldn't do better in their testing before releasing their iPhone code.

"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."

-- Isaac Asimov

New Yes I'm aware
I will trade levels of comfort for levels of safety with awareness.

I hate touching M's phone. I recoil in horror every time I have to try to do anything to help her. I hate the interface.

My first smartphone / PDA was a Treo. I've had multiple black berries. With and without the trackball and the keyboard and the scroll wheel. All the way up to the pretty fancy flat screen right before they tanked.

Simultaneously I had multiple iPhones. I was very comfortable with the midlife iPhone interface. Had them for years.

Then I started down the Android path. And as I said I watched them evolve and had my hands in the other guys simultaneously.

I know what I like and I'm sticking to it and I am not going to fall into an interface that makes me question every button I push. Every swipe I make. I recoil in horror.

                 And then I remembered what this spiel reminded me of - (crazy) - March 7, 2022, 10:57:13 AM EST

I've spent an unreasonable amount of thought on the line Janet sings in Rocky Horror: "His lust is so sincere". Now, on the surface, that's a big "DUH!" because that's the nature of lust. But wait: Brad has earlier sung about how hot he is for her, and it's pretty clear he's just being conventional. Brad's lust is not sincere.

Now, I could swill green mead and gnaw raw meat with sincere lust. As for kimchee and lutefisk, well, those would be just for effect. And if I'm just going for effect, I might as well wear a tie. And pants.
