What the fuck is this, if you hold the home button on android it now enters a special search mode that refuses to let you run a search without sending your whole screen along with the search. And it is rather difficult to even get it to not do it. There is an "x" to leave, but if you miss that touch target it assumes you are highlighting some part of your screen you want to focus the search on and send the whole thing. My background image and things I keep on my homepage are not public data, fuck off Google.

Sorry about the link, chrome was showing some old auto fill suggestion near where the clipboard contents appear. It looks like I can't delete posts that include text content and a link, as it creates a comment right away and blocks deletion. Recreated the post with the correct link, but I guess this now sits here as a sign of my shame for using my phone wrong while complaining about my phone ...
