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.

What dick? pretty sure it's fallen off from all the STD's.

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

It needs to be able to tell nearby devices to "say cheese", so they can blink their LEDs prettily before you take a photo.

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